Comment on Mob beats to death suspected kidnapper in Taxco, Mexico before Holy Week procession

Remember the riots where republicans burned cities and killed over two dozen people? Oh that was the left.
Remember when the republicans bombed the capital? Oh wait that was the left.
Remember the insurrection called Chas? Oh yeah that was the left as well.
Mob justice. That appears to be something you support as well since you didn’t question that isn’t an American value.

I’m genuinely unfamiliar with what you’re talking about with these two…

1983?! Sir, I wouldn’t be alive for another 5 years. To say that I support that is ridiculous.
And yeah, I’ll get behind CHOP. As in the article’s case, mob violence is a solution with due process repeatedly fails. And the Republican attack on the rule of law, ironically while touting it
The issue isn’t violence, it’s not like we’re pacifists here. The issue is the justification for it. From my perspective, the right manufactures outrage at social institutions such that it causes people to feel like they only have themselves to rely on for protection. The CIA and FBI are the alleged “Deep State”, after all. In contrast, the left riots and protests violently over state policing murdering minorities. And the murderer almost always face no consequences because of qualified immunity. So, conservatives justify violence based on the false perception of a society in shambles while liberals justify violence based on the lived reality of a society in shambles.
I’m curious as to what you think.

Chop was an actual rebellion. Jan 6th was not.
The cia and fbi are deep state. There are serious ethical issues with both agencies. Remember Waco and ruby ridge? Randy weaver killed an fbi agent because they were trying to murder his family. It was self defense. Why were they operating as a hit squad? No an obvious disclaimer, I don’t support Randy’s beliefs but I don’t support trying to murder him over trumped up charges.
The myth that the police are murdering minorities is just that a myth. Qualified immunity has nothing to do wit criminal charges. Zero. Zilch. It’s about civil liability. Why doesn’t the left understand basic law ?
Most shooting by the police are fully justified and legal. It’s a face if life. I’ve seen the left protest the shootings in in Salem Oregon. Once you take the time to research them. Almost all of them were people shooting at the police when they were shot. Their facts don’t match the truth.
Now I’m an advocate of police reform but it’s hard to talk about the topic without listing specific cases. Philando is a case I feel was an injustice. I think the officer should have been convicted but once again it nothing to do with qualified immunity. That has zero bearing on a criminal case.

We could play that too.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh
McVeigh’s beliefs including being pro-gun rights, against paying taxes, hating government regulation and wanting a “civil war” if that sounds familiar. Killed 168 people bombing a federal building.

Timothy was not a Republican nor supported by any Republican. Timothy hated the republicans.
