Sorry, you are getting called on what you wrote.

In post 125, you wrote:

"We (emphasis added) will not riot and commit acts of looting and rioting. Conservatives are much different."

and:

"And then we move along."

and:

"We will not be in groups. We will be much harder to catch."

It's apparent what you mean, even though you qualify your remarks with "This is my prediction". That's because in post 150 you wrote "Civil Disobedience is not gratuitous violence. Its a duty."

You're being coy about violence - you mention conservatives, we, and try to justify what you write in post 125 by calling it civil disobedience and a duty.

Stop using a web-site that is not yours to coyly stoke anger. You'll end up bringing the site under close scrutiny for such comments.

************************************************************

Antifa and the Proud Boys Brawled in DC. Here’s What the Outcome Was.
Townhall ^ | 12/13/2020 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 2020-12-13, 3:44:29 PM by SeekAndFind

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

Trump supporters flocked to Freedom Plaza on Saturday for the “Stop the Steal” march to show their opposition to the results of the 2020 election. Throughout the day and into the evening, fights broke out between the Proud Boys, a far right extremist group, and Antifa/Black Lives Matter.

The Proud Boys originally showed up and talked with fellow Trump supporters. Eventually it became evident that they were looking for people on the “other side” – whether it be Black Lives Matter or Antifa counter protestors – to clash with. The leftist groups were identified by their typical regalia of helmets, face shields, face masks and all black clothing. They too had showed up ready for a bawl.

Both sides were angry and ready for a fight. As police did their best to keep the two sides from coming into contact with one another, the angrier both sides got. The Proud Boys and the Antifa/BLM counter protestors had one thing in common: they weren’t happy police were keeping them from attacking their opponents.

Townhall’s own Julio Rosas was on the scene, where he captured numerous instances of fights taking place between the two groups and police moving in to arrest people:

Police did their best to keep the two groups from making contact. Both the Proud Boys and Antifa/BLM did their best to circumvent police blockades to no avail.

Some of the Proud Boys took issues with the police also pushing them back:

According to Rosas and the Daily Caller’s Shelby Talcott, a fight broke out where multiple people, including a police officer went down. A member of the Proud Boys was allegedly stabbed.

The Proud Boys allegedly stole a BLM banner from a nearby church. They took the flag, set it on fire and cheered as it burned, the Daily Caller reported.

Adam Gray, a photographer for a British news group, captured the moment one of the Proud Boys was stabbed:

According to Talcott, multiple people were stabbed throughout the night. Proud Boys took a knee and had a moment of silence for those who were attacked.

There’s been more than one stabbing tonight, according to a police officer out here.

Although Proud Boys continued to hunt down members of Antifa and BLM, they were unsuccessful in continuing their physical altercations. The reason was because of the heavy police presence in the area.

The night concluded with 23 arrests and four people being stabbed, the New York Times reported. Two police officers received injuries as a result of the brawls and were taken to nearby hospitals.

If you’re at the end of your life then you have less to luze by engaging in a Clint Eastwood Gran Torino act of self sacrifice. Show the young pups how it’s done.

Civil disobedience is against the constitution? Since when?

I don't believe I said it was.

And the civil disobedience being mentioned was violent civil disobedience.

I struggled with very similar questions when I wrote the Certifigate Postmortem article.

There are some strong parallels.

Ive been watching an interesting documentary series on Amazon Prime called Zero Hour.

The Columbians just couldn’t get rid of Pablo Escobar even when they enlisted US military support.

What eventually brought him down was his own partners. Interestingly enough they called themselves P.E.P.E., People against Pablo Escobar.

We need to explore ways to trap the dem fraud machine to implode on itself without generating the 666 System of the Beast prophesied in Revelation 13.

Ok, for the record, what do you propose to do other than to stamp your feet? Don’t misunderstand, if you are talking non violent civil disobedience, I am with you. If you are talking anything else, then I will oppose you.

In case you haven't been paying attention, the current communist occupiers and their minions have been quite violent, and will likely become more so. I don't think the Gandhi approach will work here.

There wasn’t one person who replied to me that would state precisely what they would do. I get it that you all are mad and frustrated but no one has mentioned specifics. People have rejected my suggestions but have never made any specific ones of their own.

I'm certainly not going to mention any specifics of what I would do on a public message board monitored by God only knows who.

What the hell is this “Proud Boys” group?

Is this a real group? or is it a bunch of libtards trying to incite violence While pretending to be conservatives?

I can’t think of any group of conservatives I’ve ever met with that would want to call themselves “proud boys”- The name itself sounds like a bunch of gay rights activists.

What the hell is this “Proud Boys” group?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Essentially the Proud Boys are a patriotic conservative organization, Although they have been called racists and neo nazis by the MSM, there are no facts to support these allegations.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/nyregion/proud-boys-gavin-mcinnes.html

They also mix it up with ANTIFA and BLM whenever these leftist organizations begin to exercise violence in the streets. This results in them bein called crinbal thugs while the ANTIFA.BLN thugs are “protestors” and their rioting, looting and arson are ignored by the MSM, lefty mayors, and the police.

This last weekend the Proud Boys handed the BLM/ANTIFA thugs their asses. So much so that these ANTIFA/BLM thugs drew knives and stabbed people, one of whom was a proud boy.The lefty thugs then retreated behind police lines. The police protected the leftist bullies, who cannot take their own medicine.

I am thankful for the Proud Noys. Without them a lot of Trump supporters would have been assaulted and injured.

IMHO the Proud Boys are red neck patriots. Glad to see them in an envirionment where leftist violence is ignored by the authorites. What are we deplorables supposed to do, lie down and get the crap kicked out of us by a minority group of SOROS funded thugs? I don’t think so.

Article III isn’t a hard stop. It’s not over, that’s why alternate electors have been placed and voted. It may be your opinion that it is over, but everyone has one of those 🤪

Fine. Then people had better take a stand in the next four weeks and onward.

If people are going to start disassociating themselves from the United States (read Allen West et al), its confirmed and elected federal leaders and they would insist in their sincerity that this whole scheme is illegitimate, they cannot have it both ways and should proclaim secession, if they really want to take it that way, and in the meantime, I would suggest they be true to their cause and no longer wave or display the American Flag Ever. Period. Some other flag of rebellion, fine. But not Old Glory. They must take them off their MAGA trucks. They must remove them from their front yards and lawns. They must not stand at sports games nor sing the national anthem nor show any respect, since that country from January 20 is no longer being legitimately led. By their logic. *Disclaimer: I am not saying this is my position. I am saying this is the prudent action for those suggesting we are entering a period of illegitimate government.
