Late 1960s and Early 1970s All Over Again

[TimFitz]

I did address it. Dems ordering the police to stand down, is a real threat to our security.

We as a society need to respond.

Explain.

 

[BackAgain]

This is so simple.

Protesting is fine. That’s every American’s first amendment right. But physically attacking federal agents – whether punching, shoving, throwing rocks at them – is a crime.

Also, destroying public property is a crime. It does not matter if it’s one person who does it or a hundred or a thousand! It is still a crime, and these violent protesters all need to face trial, prosecution, sentencing and jail time like any other criminal, especially any other criminal accused of violent crimes which is what these protests in LA are devolving into.

We have been through all this before in the 1960s and early seventies and the radicals then did not overthrow America: the constitution held intact, nor did law and order fade away. People did indeed feel like the system was coming to a violent end at the time, but it did not. The country survived and became a better nation.

Of course, protesting in the aftermath of George Floyd was heinously momentous.

But recent protesters as well today’s have nothing on the 60s and early 70s protesters.

Back then, there were actual domestic leftist terrorist groups like the Weather Underground, the Black Liberation Army, and the Symbionese Liberation Army, all involved in various violent acts that included bombing US government buildings, murder, abduction, robberies, and physically assaulting and clashing with the police.

By the way: these are all crimes. They were back then and still are now. Law and order still exist. If one day it should not, then, yes, America could indeed come to an end and you would live in a land (not a nation) of total anarchy and chaos. Not likely to happen, but who knows?

And oh, that might be what these modern-day protesters want. There are career protesters who go to these things from other parts of the US. That’s an upgrade from 60s style protesting.

Anyway, however bad it all seems, it is still déjà vu to a time when protesters made noise, caused havoc, but posed no serious threat to democracy. The real threat, however, is in the lawmakers in California like Newsom and Bass and leaders in other like-minded states that encourage these protests. They have the potential to end the chaos, but they are encouraging it for a misguided cause.

So, here we go again.

Well, some of the music from that period was pretty cool — at least.

 

[Rogue AI]

so, it’s OK for masked DEI goons with no insignia, no warrant and no probable cause to round up brown people at random and roust them?

Nazis did that for nearly 20 years.

Nobody is getting violent, no matter how hard your fuhrer and Fox Noise are trying to incite it.

Burning cars and throwing things at federal agents is violent? You loons are going to lose this one big time. Deporting criminal aliens is well within the law, supporting obstruction and violence is not.

 

[Correll]

Explain.

He was pretending to care about the security of our society, while supporting the side that ordered the cops to NOT protect the federal agents from rioters.

Allowing, even encouraging riots, against armed government agents, is massively divisive and dangerous.


If the rioters win, the agents could be killed. At the very least, we end the rule of law and policy is set by the violent mob in the street.

The dems in california, really ALL the dems, seem to want one of those outcomes, or either of them. Or both. YEs, BOTH. They seem to wan theh rioters to win, the agents killed and the winners of the last election, ie mage, to be stopped from their policy by violent street mobs.


That reads like a big step toward civil war. It is certainly a major blow to the democratic process.


Thus, completely on the topic of "society security".


Do you understand teh point? Would you like to address it now?


LOL.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson.

Mexican patriots?

 

[rightwinger]

These protests are nothing like those in the 60s and 70s

 

[Correll]

Mexican patriots?

They are certainly part of the Mexican Nation, no matter what their paperwork says.


Their heart is with Mexico. Their loyalty is with Mexico and Mexicans AGAINST the American Nation.
