There's ZERO excuses for the rioting/looting. The po po should filled the bus up.
Will I find similar comments about there being ZERO excuses for lining up sniper fire on federal agents and statements that all militia members should be in police custody?
I am pretty damn certain that if any of the protesters or rioters started to point rifles at the cops they would be dead in a second and nobody here would complain about it.

Wait... did the bundy folks assault the federal officers?
Did they burn some official vehicles?
Did they pull someone out of a store, and beat the holy gak out of this person?
No? Then it's not a comparable event.
Mind you, I still think the bundys are jack asses and should be fined. And if the still refuse to pay it, put a fething lein on their property.

They did. Threatening Federal officers with firearms, and pointing firearms at federal officers is assault. In many states, simply brandishing a weapon is assault.

Agreed. The Bundy folks Assaulted (or threatened depending on the direction the gun was facing) Federal Officers. Alot more than a fine is due those folks.

Seriously...I thought they didn't point it, and were just carrying it.
How these guys skated on brandishing charges, at a minimum, will forever remain a mystery to me.
1. Now thats what I call effective use of cover.
2. Isn't that Nevada. Isn't that guy a dead man laying on concrete in the sun there? Won't he spontaneously combust there?

... are you asking this 3 posts after I posted a picture of a guy pointing a rifle at BLM agents? I feel like there's a subtle joke here I'm not getting.
Those white trucks in the picture are the BLM.

The question you have to ask, would anyone have showed up if the game WASN"T closed to the public.

I heard this on the way home. Seems kind of ridiculous to me. Like does 2 out of 180 games or whatever they play in MLB really make a difference. Why not just cancel the games.
Camden Yards per game attendance average was 30,426 in 2014 for Orioles games.
Can't find figures on games vs. White Sox. I assume it would be below the average, because White Sox.
I think he's referring to people avoiding the area altogether. Could've been game 7 of the World Series and people would avoid it, with whats going on near the stadium, and what happened a few days ago. The rioters were assaulting fans outside the stadium after the Red Sox/Orioles game. Saw a woman trying to reason with the rioters and they threw a can full of trash on her. One dude assaulted so bad that they had to carry him into a bar and shield him from the rioters. Rioters throwing bricks and debris into packed bars. If I knew how to link Facebook videos into this forum, I would(also at work so that doesn't help.)
Suffice to say, people are avoiding that area.

Derp. Of course, you're correct. Not a prime tourist location ATM.
There simply aren't enough police to cover everything, so they chose contain, rather than to confront.
It's an exercise in pragmatism, not an endorsement of the behavior. A few hundred police can't hold back several thousand rioters.
Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?
They can if they have the will, or eat a lot of beans and are upwind. Just saying.

White privilege.
Sad, but very True. Can you imagine the federal government backing off if a group of armed african americans stood against their agents who were seizing something?

Well said. Unfortunate for those whose property was destroyed, but considering the relatively low number of injuries that seem to have been reported it looks like the lesser of two evils was chosen.

Agreed. A city government already expecting possible rioting and protests needs every officer they can get. A big game not only takes quite a few officers to manage, but it creates another opportunity for protestors to gather. Not sure why they didn't just cancel it (I'm sure the league has some reason) but keeping spectators out is a wise decision.
Seriously...I thought they didn't point it, and were just carrying it.

Two can play that.
I've one time frame reference........the guy behind the Jersey Barrier.
yet
Spoiler:
No one pointing a weapon at BLM. I doubt BLM knew about the guy behind the Jersey barrier. Yet no one in the line pointing a weapon at BLM
Line much closer yet no one brandishing weapon at BLM in the crowd.
So far one idiot with a weapon pointed in the general direction hidden behind a Jersey Barrier
Edit
Oh Boy
2K LEO and 1K National Guardsmen/women will be active tonight and in the "Box" I see the National Guardsmen/women wearing IOTV vests yet I hardly saw LEO wearing body armor.
I really hope that Crips/Bloods/Black Gorilla Family are just smack talking about killing cops

And while the people there are cleaning up the damage from the comparatively small group of rioters, everybody seems to forget that the vast majority of the people were doing this:
Thousand and thousands of people protesting peacefully, but everybody focuses on the fuckheads.

That's some of the worst handwaving I've seen. You're looking at a guy pointing a weapon at BLM agents and saying it was "just in the general direction", and "they didn't know he was there", and "here are some different people who weren't pointing weapons", so it doesn't count?

So that one guy hidden behind the Jersey Barrier label everyone in the area brandishing weapons at BLM. One guy = everyone there facing off against BLM were holding that one weapon pointed in the direction of BLM. That one weapon from one picture.....ONE.....GUY....
So all the times I had a weapons pointed at me overseas makes everyone behind the rifle a Insurgent/AQ/Taliban. Not buying it.

You're building up a great strawman argument; since I never claimed things you are claiming I said. Whembly said he thought they were just carrying firearms, and I posted the above picture. How you took that as some sort of indictment of every single person there is unknown to me.
It was more than one, but I feel like gathering more evidence might not be the best use of my time since you seem like you believe what you want to believe. I mean, you posted a picture of a cop pointing a taser at the protesters like that makes it even stevens despite the fact the police officer is pointing it at someone who just charged them and are screaming threats and that and he's a fething law enforcement officer authorized to use force by the state in exactly that situation.
