Then you are not thinking very clearly.
No, I just have a different perspective than a lot of you.
You had said in response to me, "
No I think you all just want people to get mowed down by gunfire. "
Apparently you seem to think that I am some Kluxer or something, but I left the Democratic Party before I graduated high school, dude.
By lumping me in with some kind of nefarious bogyman, you demonstrated that you were not thinking clearly.
I am not asking for a fruitless appology, but I do wish you would get your facts straight.
And you just stated below (well actually a previous comment) that you want people shot and mention people who are armed and "using violent threats" which I'm not even going to speculate as to what you meant by that.
I agree. But that is why I think we should use precision forces to only attack those armed and using violent threats.
Those people kind of like volunteer to be shot.
I do not want people shot, lol, I was arguing against simply bombing them which would cause a lot of colateral injuries.
If it becomes necessary to physically reclaim our sovereign territory by force, I would prefer a more prcesion based approachh, like personally going in with infantry and shoot those who are armed and opposing rather than blowing up some Moma and her baby.
Sheesh!
Simply being armed is not grounds for summary execution on the streets of Seattle but that's what exactly what you've stated should be done.
Armed individuals exercising their 1st and/or 2nd amendment rights while
not violating the law (or working) is not an uncommon sight in downtown Seattle which is why I said we have different perspectives of the situation.
I've attended 3 protests/marches/rallies in Washington state beginning in 2014, all of them peaceful.
In December 2014 I attended the "We Will Not Comply" rally on the capitol steps in Olympia to protest the passage of a very poorly written gun control law. More than a thousand people showed up, the majority of which were armed with long guns and there were two Washington State Patrol vehicles on-site.
The second event was the very first time I had ever participated in a marched and I did so with Black Lives Matter in January 2015 specifically because of the death of Sandra Bland. The Seattle police department escorted and provided protection for the marchers.
The last event I attended was roughly 2017 and was an Anti-Sharia protest. I showed up at the end in order to join the counter protestors. There was some excitement when someone showed up wearing a holstered weapon and he was hussled off-site. I was in tact gear with weapon but no identifying insignia however one of the bike officers apparently recognized me from the BLM march because he waved when he saw me.
There are so many people on this board who have so much animus against others that would only make sense if these people had
personally caused them harm yet that is not the case, although I have to admit there is a lot of creativity that has been put forth in an attempt to justify and rationalize the convoluated reasoning for these feelings.
I have grown acustomed to being on the receiving end of this kind of hatred as my attendance at the events I've outlined above would indicate. It's a little different however when it's being directed towards others similarily situation as myself though.
