Take back the narrative - last night's killer came from the Con's Caravans

[malaise]

The Con wants the genocide of non-whites.
Cambodia, Rwanda and now Trump's America.

1. From the news I read it was a right wing

white Trump supporter. I fail to see. how that takes back the nerrative. It can only help Trump. The only thing they are accomplishing in Portland is helping Trump get 4 more years. Now he will use this as an excuse to send in his federal brown shirts.

[live love laugh]

2. How "convenient." When things are so much of a political advantage

further investigation is warranted.

3. Why won't it take back the narrative?

I have been wondering how much of the rioting is not caused by the left but caused by Trump supporters. If we keep proving that it is Trump supporters who are causing the trouble why isn't that taking back the narrative?

Trump supporters could be the ones who are setting Reichstag fires and blaming peaceful protesters.

4. Just follow who has been killing whom

These are the Con's thugs

[gab13by13]

6. and the police give them water and allow a murderer to go home.

..and no one blinks an eye? The kid should have been arrested before he murdered 2 people.

[Vinca]

5. No one knows who the shooter was. It could have been a nut on the caravan

spraying the crowd. No matter who did it, this makes one point crystal clear: TOO MANY GUNS IN THIS COUNTRY.

8. Doesn't appear that way from the video

7. Joe Biden must make clear who has been sowing chaos.

LEAKED DOCUMENTS SHOW POLICE KNEW FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISTS WERE THE REAL THREAT AT PROTESTS, NOT “ANTIFA”

9. wrap...

[StocktonNative]

10. Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys

are the two popular racist hate groups here in Portland
.then you have a series of press guys and Andy Ngo and Q conspiracists who are their publicist. There is no doubt these hate member are starting fire, starting riots and even throwing pipe bombs to stir up shit here.

Today what started as a Trump Truck Rally became a ride to the city to pepper spray and paint ball citizens in the downtown area. One person dead.

11. Off topic but

please pass around: Starting tomorrow employers and employees will not have to pay FICA taxes (Social Security). So those on it will get kicked off and those ready to get it (those in their 50s) are shit out of luck?

[radical noodle]

28. No. People will not be kicked off

At least not yet and not if we get out and vote.

[SharonClark]

29. Don't you know how to Start a Discussion?

Replying “off topic” is a waste of your time unless you are trying to hijack a thread.

[Danascot]

12. I noticed that AP News is using the word 'caravans'

so the same wording is being used by a number of major news outlets including the NYT.

Trump supporters, protesters clash in Portland; 1 killed

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — One person was shot and killed late Saturday in Portland, Oregon, as a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed in the streets, police said.

It wasn’t clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles was confronted by counter-demonstrators in the city’s downtown.

Police said the caravan had left the area around 8:30 p.m., and officers heard gunshots at about 8:46 p.m., according to a statement. Officers arrived at the shooting scene “within a minute,” police said, but the man who was shot did not survive.

A caravan of supporters of President Trump drove through downtown Portland, which has seen nightly protests against police violence and racial injustice. One person was shot and killed in the conflicts that erupted.

The caravans are also being called Trump trains:

15. Need to build a wall.

The caravans are on the way.

[RelativelyJones]

13. I do not understand your post. The facts do not support what you are asserting.

[mfcorey1]

18. Trumpers caused the death!!!!

20. I believe

many republicans are in favor of more guns because they want right wing citizens to start a civil war.

[Sunsky]

16. Exactly

Our side need to be more vocal. We have to beat Trump at the framing the narrative.
Joe or Kamala need to have a daily press conference. Show the country what it will be like under a president Biden in these tumultuous times and remind the country that Trump is the current president. I know he and Kamala have a sit-down planned for Tuesday but that's many days behind Trump, who receives daily press. These are the last days and team Trump has ramped up their disinformation campaign, we cannot sit back like it's June/July.

[marble falls]

17. He want everyone older than 65 worth under certain amounts to die, too. Like all those ...

of us who use VA.

[IronLionZion]

23. Time for more veterans to turn against him

considering how he had his goons beat up the Navy vet in Portland and broke his arms, and generally failing his promises to help veterans with various issues.

[Chasdev]

19. If he cheats and wins

Then those caravans may visit democratic controlled towns and cities.
I am a long time collector of WWII items, including trophy weapons brought back to the US by victorious American soldiers.
My large collection of same has now been liquidated but I still view the collector forums and I can tell you that the most extreme maga crowd is posting very dangerous opinions on "allowing" democrats to live in America after Drumph is declared dictator for life.
This is why I retained a few firearms, I WILL NOT let them wipe out my family.
I have no intentions of attending any group gathering, political or not, but if the caravans start rolling and come down MY street trying to cleanse America of Democrats, they will be met with resistance.
I ask everyone if they would rather possess an evil machine and not need it or need it and not posses it.

21. The gaslighting coming from the right about violent anarchists is mind boggling

When in fact, the ones committing murder are Trump supporting white supremacist terrorists.

I didn't watch the RNC shit show, but I saw replay of a tidbit of Pence's speech when he was talking about the protests and " law and order" - I noticed he made a point to say Americans will not strike down Americans in the street. Creating a false narrative, as you said - that protesters are striking down people. Which is a damn lie. The people by and large that are striking down people are white supremacist terrorists. But they want to make it seem as if the protesters are are out to kill and maim people. It feeds the narrative of those scary black, brown and leftist Antifa folks are out to get " good Americans".

Dear baby Beyonce I can't wait for all this to be over.

[malaise]

25. The Con called his goons patriots

At what point is M$Greedia going to call this what it is - white supremacist terror against peaceful protesters

[IronLionZion]

22. There was less death and violence in America with the last president

[AllaN01Bear]

24. id like to know how a 17 yo got a automatic weapon om the first place

a crime . how he was transported accross state lines. another crime . and the police assisted him to go home ?

[malaise]

26. Great question but I want to know how come

these MAGAts are shooting paint ball guns openly at protesters. Donald Trump is a fucking terrorist.
Lock h im up!

[doc03]

31. The protesters knew the Trump caravan was coming. How about standing down and letting them pass

through. Like it or not the Trump supports also have a the right to protest. They did exactly what Trump was wanting, he needs an excuse to send in the goons, now he has it. What is going on in Portland should have been dealt with weeks ago. There is a difference in a peaceable protest and occupying a city for 90 days.
