They were talking about this on MSNBC (your second PragerU video). You can't "burn down" a limestone building. In any case, protests will always attract bad actors, infiltrators and idiots. At night is when these people come out. The peaceful protesters take place during the day. According to this guy the idiots were the "majority of protesters". But I'm going to trust someone from PragerU? I think not. Obviously they have an agenda.

Portland protests: Majority continue to march peacefully (video shot during the day).

You can't? Then I wonder how they managed to burn down the WTC in 2001.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

People with torches burned down the WTC? Who knew? I thought they used airliners.

Joe Conservative said...

...and I thought that the building was made of steel.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

It wasn't?

Red Herring said...

Exactly.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

If Dotard has been in charge it would have been made of concrete purchased from the mob and built with illegal immigrant labor. btw, you're wrong. The WTC was constructed using steel.

Red Herring said...

Wasn't the WTC conspiracy centered on the fact that a fire couldn't have brought it down?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Limestone isn't a metal. A torch isn't an airliner filled with jet fuel.

Joe Conservative said...

There is nothing combustible in a limestone-faced building? Who knew? Makes you wonder how the British managed to burn down the Whitehouse in 1812.

Unlike the federal courthouse in Portland. Which didn't catch fire, much less burn down.

Red Herring said...

Disappointed? lol!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

No. I'm not an anarchist. I don't support vandalism. People who are caught should be arrested and charged. They make peaceful protesters look bad. For some that is the point. Others are just idiots.

Joe Conservative said...

...but they're just torches against limestone. No "harm" is possible...

Can I excuse anyone else in me NEXT breath?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Right. Why nobody was arrested.

Joe Conservative said...

Nobody in Portland got arrested? Then what was all the fuss about activists being whisked away in unmarked vehicles? lol!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

We were discussing people supposedly trying to burn down the limestone courthouse. Nobody was arrested in regards to that incident. As for Dotard's goons snatching people... I'm not sure if anyone was arrested. I heard that they were just intimidating people (let them go as soon as they invoked their rights). According to you they were collecting names.

The Portland Police refused to cooperate with federal authorities = why none got arrested. THAT situation has changed.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Federal officers to pull out of Portland in a major reversal for Trump administration.

Joe Conservative said...

Yes, State and local officials in Portland promised to protect the federal facilities in the hope that de-escalation would calm the rioters. That didn't happen though. They're rioting nightly in Portland, and having riots "officially" declared. It's no longer a "peaceful protest" because as even the perennially stupid like you are finding out, it never WAS one. LOL!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I don't know how I could "find out" something that is false. As per the story you link to, "A man appeared to have been punched and kicked into unconsciousness by demonstrators just blocks away from a peaceful protest in Portland as unrest continued in Oregon's biggest city".

a-holes deciding to get violent doesn't negate the fact that there were, and continue to be lots of people protesting peacefully. In any case, riots are what you wanted, so you must be happy.
