So you consider burning cars and looting businesses "peaceful demonstration"? Those pictures came from MSNBC.

Anarchist Kid Uses Fox News to Send President Trump a Short Message | GQ


Yep, our country is in great hands. This kid is about 12 years old out trying to burn the country down no doubt under the helpful supervision of his parents. For those of you that don't want to watch the video here is all you need:

"My name is Carter and I kind of started this fire," he says with a wide grin. When asked why he started the fire, he tells the reporter bluntly, "Because I wanted to and because, I'm just saying, screw our President,"



If that doesn't sum up the this entire generation of youth then I don't know what does...."because I wanted to"

Rained hard all day here until 2:30 just poured at times. Any LA idiot protesters would be soaked. I haven't seen any LA protesters on TV news.

The same groups show up at every opportunity for chaos regardless of what the so called cause is that is being protested
I am aware of the anarchist. They tend to infiltrate every peaceful protest in Portland and Oakland, and take advantage of the moment to cause chaos and destruction. Although they're a small minority, they're impact isn't. It's unfortunate because most people show up to these protests marches wanting to express themselves in a peaceful manner.

A few years ago, during the Occupy LA movement, which last several months on the Lawns surrounding LA City Hall, LAPD was able to close down the encampment of several hundred protesters, in a very peaceful manner. They did so by using a brilliant strategy of blockading all the streets leading to the encampment and only allowing people to leave, but not enter. This went on for a few days. During this period they were able to identify several known anarchist within the encampment. On the day of the raid they targeted these individuals and arrested them immediately upon entering the encampment. After removing these individuals the raid progressed smoothly and without much incident.

They're American citizens, they have the exact same rights you do, and the term you use is derogatory. Period.

An interesting take, and one I actually agree with. Considering the fact that unfortunately for you, I am a citizen, and on top of that a decorated war veteran, I love that this makes you squeamish, I hope I run into more people like you so I can get under their skin. It's extremely amusing to get under people's skin as a veteran, and as a minority, it will be even more entertaining to do this with a new level of antagonization I have just discovered, the ability to also throw it in their face that I was one generation from actually being illegal, and there's nothing they/you can do about it!


So if your Parents robbed a Bank, you have the right to benefit from the Money they stole? Interesting concept. Of course your not alone and there are many like you out there, but it doesn't affect me one way or the other, as your presence doesn't either, but I can think what I want, petition to stop "Anchor Babies" and there is nothing you can do about it.



If you served, and got Citizenship legally, that's entirely a different Matter. I was not Born here, and got my Citizenship the Legal way, which is the only way that should be tolerated.

How about that? That's the same thing I said when I saw your posts, especially the one about being "Afraid." What is there to be Afraid of, if you aren't a Homegrown Terrorist pretending to be a Protester.


If your really afraid, get a Diaper Pin, it seems to work for others. Just sayin...

A red letter day for the Democracy.


No worry, you will have a lot more of that, now that Trump is in office, because his supporters, like me, will make sure he knows what we expect and that Law and Order has to be enforced, and that a Peaceful Protest is not a Protest of Burning, Looting, Destroying Property, and Blocking Highways. These are acts of Terrorism, and should be treated as such with any means available, including Lethal Force. You should be even happier knowing you have a lot to look forward to.




Write your Representatives, and demand that they that they enable Law Enforcement to use whatever means are Needed to stop Violent Protests, looting and Property Damage, by using Force.

Nobody said these idiots where smart. Tonight, they broke out the windows of a "Starbucks" and a Bank in Washington to protest Trump. Starbucks had donated over 50,000.00 dollars to Hillary's Campaign, and that Bank had donated 500,000 dollars to her Campaign. This was a "Protest" against Trump?? That folks, shows the stupidity of these Morons. I think its Hilarious.
