The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Since Austin abhors discrimination, clearly they will apply the same standard to other minor legal transgressions like carrying a gun past a valid 30.06 sign, right? Don't tell me that they are planning to apply the laws unequally to different groups of citizens....bblhd672 wrote:Police acknowledge lawbreaking but allow it to continue.

Nah. Sounds wrong. Let's go back to the proven method.

This too shall pass - after Trump takes office in January, the press will pivot their attention to full on him, trying to keep up with all he's up to and coverage on this riot-tantrum crap will fall to the wayside. In the meantime, Obama, Hillary, Harry Reid and a number of other notable nasties own this - they have refused to call it down and have even thrown gas on the fire to increase the civil unrest. Everyone watch your six out there, and I'm serious. There are loopy people around who are being influenced by all this racket and think they need to act and do "something", and may believe that they have protected and free reign to do it. Thanks a fat lot to the corrupt media and politicians for a mess that could have been avoidable.

Me neither. It's like these "protesters" are trying to get shot.crazy2medic wrote:Wow, I can't believe a trooper didn't put a round in sombody's head
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

It would be easy to get them motivated. You just put up lots of billboards that read, "NO MORE FREE STUFF!!!"SRO1911 wrote:AJSully421 wrote:

Unfortunately, running away involves effort and motivation. These are both foreign concepts to the specific subgroups you named.

Hillary is in a better position than anybody to calm this mess down. But today she was addressing a crowd of her supporters and said, and I quote, "get back out there and keep fighting..." Incredible. This is inciting violence. She should be arrested.vjallen75 wrote: Where is Obama and Hillary at to stop this madness? Why have they not spoken out to urge people to stop protesting? Or have I missed that part of the news?

They should be protesting the DNC for helping them get Trump in the first place, not randomly stopping up city centers.
As for APD, they're apparently too busy harrassing people for filming them and ticketing them for jaywalking. You know, real crime...
