How do you explain that ****? Note that a Federal courthouse was attacked, but
no one was shot.

Wow.

Wow indeed. Were there members of congress inside the courthouse
trying to carry out the constitutional process of certifying the
presidential electoral college votes? Were the rioters incited by the
POTUS in an attempt to overturn his election defeat?

None of that excuses mob violence of course, no matter where and why
it happens. I'm also thinking that Portland needs to make a concerted
effort to identify and arrest some of these hooligans. I suspect
they've got a hard core group of repeat offenders that should be dealt
with.

No, they were just rioting, Wayne.

Funny. Go to CNN.com or Washingtonpost.com and search for 'Portland riot'.
Nothing. If the news doesn't support the liberal position, just don't report it.
Now do the same with ABC. Do you see the difference?

It may give you some personal comfort to draw parallels between the
Portland riots and Trump's capitol insurrection, but most people
recognize that there is a huge difference. I do think that Portland
needs to start taking names and kicking ass however.

Totally missed the point. The comparison was between two liberal outlets and a
more centrist outlet. The liberal outlets just skip over real news that doesn't
support an anti-conservative position.

No riot comparison whatsoever.

But...oh, never mind.

That's why it's important to maintain a balanced perspective, consider
all points of view and seek out news sources that are reasonably
unbiased. Too many people seek out news sources that confirm and
amplify the biases that they already have.

I don't see the capitol being any more sacred than the federal court
house. They are coequal branches of government.
If the thugs just want to burn the Portland City hall, that is a local
problem.
