Nancy Pelosi condemns antifa for violence in California

Must admit, I didn't expect a statement like this.

Glad she said it, but I learned somewhere that comments made after 48 hours don't count.

Nancy Pelosi condemns antifa for violence in California

Must admit, I didn't expect a statement like this.

She's probably just realizing something happened back in February. Either that or getting called out on being silent finally sunk in through all the Botox.

It's the least she could say, politically. I'd like the press to hound her and other Dems for an unequivocal "disavowal" like they do for everyone on the right.

All the Dems care about, and for that matter, the Repubs, is numbers. They actually don't care about the issues, just the numbers.
Right now, she's being told they are losing numbers.
And also probably being told, that antifa probably view her as part of the establishment, therefore not too loyal to her.

Pretty much.

This needs broadcast on every network and local news. If it were a Neo-Nazi or WS ********** it would be as it should.

I think there's a difference between complaining about pizza and projecting your own cultural dynamics. If there's something objectively good or bad, that's one thing. Complain away. I've heard people from GB say their pizza sucks, so that's probably more objective than some other things. Guns/no guns, there are some subjective and objective points about that. Seems to me the reasons to criticize GB about their gun policies are more objective than the reasons for them to criticize ours.

It doesn't seem that way to me. It's fair game in either nation.

Credit to Pelosi for that.

Blind squirrel, broken clock, whatever your preferred analogy, it's good to see.

I'm guessing their internal polling is showing this to be an albatross around their necks and the longer theyre associated with thugs assaulting vets in wheel chairs and other innocent people, the more people are going to turn on them. A lot of democrats may differ with republicans on many things but i have to believe most dont want to be associated with violence and the thugs perpertrating it.

Not in terms of being intellectually honest. I think the cultural aspects are fair. If they just don't want an armed citizenry and all the citizens understand the pros and cons, and they stay with no guns, that's theirs to say. But that's not the reality.

Foreigners are guests and IMO should act accordingly. If they're unhappy here, as mentioned above a solution is as close as the nearest airport.

My wife once worked with a woman who married a guy from England. The few times I was around him socially, all he did was complain about how screwed up we are here. For the sale of my wife I kept my mouth shut.

Did he end up paying a fair price for her in the end?

I'd be interested in knowing also!!!

All I'm saying, it that for anyone that has traveled, they've used their American sensibilities to critique the nation they are visiting in pretty much all aspects. If someone foreign does the same here, that's their prerogative, as long as they're willing to endure the backlash from the locals.

I dated a girl that would leave a store, if a policeman entered with his gun in his holster. She was that scared.
I know some people that are advocating for police to be disarmed.

Was she aware that you were armed?

Good discussion here fellas but it's going a little off the rails regarding the topic of the thread.

Let's try and bring it back to Antifa.

'Antifa' violence in Berkeley spurs soul-searching within leftist activist community - LA Times

The Los Angeles Times says the beatdowns being handed out by Antifa are prompting "soul searching" on the left.

A complete rebuke of Antifa and condemnation of their violent tactics would ne nice, but I guess soul searching is a good first step.

de

I think the bulk of the progressives/socialist-statists are nowhere near condemning antifa. I think some see them (correctly) as useful fools and agree with the agenda, but are too cowardly to personally engage in the same level of crimes to enact their goals. I also think most of them at least believe they're all on the same side and some enjoy what is happening since it's "bad people" who are being targeted.

We won't see any widespread objections from the hive mind until they realize the monster they've helped create has turned on them for failing the purity test of the moment.

"The people I’m feeling sorry for are you guys, gals–and other–who have been out marching in circles around City Hall hoping Trump would give a **** about your Magic Marker signs. Standing next to you in those crowds were miscreant humanities students and flunkies otherwise known as AntiFa and Black Bloc. Unfortunately for you, even though you didn’t don AntiFa garb you are going to be lumped in with them; because you’ve been winking and nodding at them and quietly accepting the normalization of extra-judicial unconstitutional violence as if it were protected speech.

Well, you stupid mother****ers probably shouldn't have lumped in everyone on the other side of the ideological isle, with racists, WS, and Neo-Nazis. It really sucks when that happens, doesn't it?

I agree. And yes, that's natural. But, isn't it overcoming natural tendencies which makes people civil? I understand that people do it and why people do it. I think the question brought is should they? Well, in the objective cases, sure. In the subjective cases, think it through.

You guys are teaching me to read my posts before posting. Thanks...I guess.

Dartmouth faculty supports professor's comments justifying Antifa violence | Fox News

I'd like to know why she felt the need to get partialy trained if no one should have guns. Oh that's right libs think they should just not us.
Also,how does one get partial training on guns when you can't even own guns and even a lot of the police can't own guns.
Also I would love to see her use her partial training to overcome the locking mechanism on that holster and draw the gun. Somehow I'm thinking she'd get partialy shot

That "partially training" is clearly BS.There's obviously no such thing (unless you go to a training class and leave halfway thru I guess) but they don't want to admit that they don't know anything about guns.
Otherwise they know their opinion on guns will be seen as meaningless.
At the same same time they know nobody would believe them if they say they are trained, so I guess it leaves the options of being just "partially trained" (whatever the **** that means).
She's obviously very naive and is not aware that such a thing as a retention holster even exists.
Not to mention the rentention training that cops go thru, use of edge weapons and such ...
Also you have to love the hypocrisy when she's complaing about something that's also happening in the UK (cops walking around with guns that she believes are easily accessible).

She must have not seen that cop walking around at the airport in London when she was on her way to America to complain about cops walking around with guns in public.

That's maybe why she left England, that must be scary for her to see that many guns.

But it's obviously just a problem in America.

Sorry for bringing that threat off track once again.

Just wondering, what happens if a good sized group of conservatives decide to have a peaceful demonstration and the membership is largely trained in martial arts. They get attacked by so called "antifa" and clean house big time. Then I further wonder what if this was repeated across the country. My guess is the liberals would get all worked up over "vigilantes".

Frankly, I'm surprised "antifa" have gotten away with as much as they have. Any one else see this changing at some point?
