[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with all these cries for freedom is that the people calling for it don’t even understand it. In a society, freedom is not absolute - when does your freedom impinge on mine? Further, various freedoms oftentimes conflict. [b]So, while it’s fine to protest, these truckers don’t have the right to indefinitely shutdown a city or a primary bridge because doing so deprives others of their rights, economic and otherwise.[/b] [/quote]

I just have to ask.....

Did you take the same stance during the protests and riots of the summer of 2020?  Or, were those "righteous" and "good" and therefore, the closing of a highway or businesses are just the cost of supporting the cause?  [/quote]

DP.

1) they were protesting a murder by police
2) they were protesting. The rioting and fires etc were generally set by right wingers
3) they lasted a day here and a day there. It wasn't a sustained seige, except in portland and seattle where it turns out, yep, right wingers again.[/quote]

1) maybe some of them were at least initially
2) cray cray conspiracy stuff
3) same[/quote]

Looter Vuitton agrees with you. This was no innocent summer of love, and the looting continues[/quote]

The people tweeting orders of things to loot for them at friendship heights stores were also "protesting"[/quote]

2. Not cray cray conspiracy stuff, step away from garbage like Breitbart and read some actual news for a change.  There were numerous arrests of Boogaloos who were organized and involved in many of the arsons and attacks on police precincts.  There was also violence when right wing groups like Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer showed up to "counterprotest" using knives, fists, etc.   Overwhelming majority (94%) of the BLM protests had ZERO reported violence or crime.  Wasn't all outside right wing agitators though, because anarchist black bloc were also doing their own chaos which had nothing to do with BLM

3. The looting was mostly gangs and criminals, also had nothing to do with BLM other than opportunistic criming [/quote]e

I think, as time goes on (like with the CDC), we will see what the truth is.[/quote]
