I marched in Portland in 2020. Were you here as well? Was peaceful during the day. Then the feds started shooting teargas at us after dark. I didn't realize there were fatalities. That's terrible.
Edit: looked all those kids up. Seems none of their deaths were related to protests., but rather gang violence. There were 2 fatalities in Portland associated with the protests in 2020. Aaron Danielson of Patriot Prayer was killed by a BLM protestor. Michael Reinoehl, an Antifa protestor, was killed by the feds.
25 total fatalities associated with "protests and political unrest nationwide" during 2020.
Per Wiki;
While starting out as mostly peaceful demonstrations, by late summer of 2020 riots had exceeded peaceful protests in number and percentage overall.[4] By September of 2020, demonstrations often involved arson, property damage (mostly concentrated in Downtown Portland), looting and vandalism.[4]
Were you on the side of vandals, looters, and arsonists?
Per the article cited on Wiki:
An Overwhelmingly Peaceful Movement
The vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent. In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations,7meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests. In many urban areas like Portland, Oregon, for example, which has seen sustained unrest since Floyd’s killing, violent demonstrations are largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city (CNN, 1 September 2020).
We walked across the city, laid on our chests for 9 minutes on the Burnside Bridge (how long the cops knelt on George Floyd's neck), then marched downtown. No arson, vandalism or looting. Are you confusing those protests with the January 6 activities at the capital? Pretty sure those guys tore shit up pretty good.
Did you OD on fentanyl too?

You've got to wonder where these folks get their ideas from....
Like the Summer of Love being peaceful... And blaming all the violence on the police...
But it's OK we all have our own ideas & beliefs
I believe that meme is based on results to a survey. They asked men and women on both sides of the aisle if they could beat Trump in a hand to hand fight. Liberal women at a higher rate believed they could defeat Trump than conservative men did. Or something like that.
I wonder if AI search engines are turning peoples brains to mush, or if the mushy-brained are just more bold now that information is easier to regurgitate![]()
Seems to me it's disrespectful to the position of president... Doesn't matter what you think of the person...
The state spent $800 million on treatment. The economic impact of substance abuse was $31 billion. Foregoing measure 110 wouldn't unlock $31 billion in spending for these other programs.
