The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I posted about the July 4th so you're flat out wrong.

Just a link to a news report that said four people arrested that one night. That's not a riot, nor is it "100+ days" of continuous violence - and since even that is from three months ago, it's nothing showing that any of this was still ongoing.

You guys just don't want to admit that there are constant disturbances in front of that building. You don't want to admit that Portland could fix this but is choosing not to. You don't want to admit that residents there are suffering and the local government won't do anything. You'd rather just pretend it's not happening.

No one has said anything like that.

Everyone admits that there have been constant disturbances in front of the building. There have been ongoing protests there for months. No one's pretending it's not happening.

What we have all been saying to you is that there is no evidence of 100+ days of continuous riots. There have not been 100+ days of ongoing violent assaults against the ICE building. There have not been 100+ days of any of the sort of activity that would warrant federal military involvement.

What you're doing is pretending that these disturbances are ongoing riots. They're not. You're implying that these are significant enough disturbances to warrant federal military intervention. They're not. And you've presented no evidence of anything to the contrary.
