    Goldy - this should not be hard for you.

    What is the difference between the two situations?

    you can go back and read where i showed the very basic difference between the two

    ie: post 1090 and others

    you can look at all of those exchanges where i answered and even asked you things you left unanswered as well.

    lol you die on some weird hills

    i guess you still don't like those answers

    i did enjoy your "armed" with rocks and umbrella video though

    so similar to occupying a building with guns lol

    People occupying federal land in both instances

    Local officials not intervening in both instances

    Feds get involved in both instances

    Goldy upset about one (the one where people are destroying property and threatening lives)

    Not at the other (the one where it was completely peaceful)

    Wonder why...

    what i love about ya

    is that every argument never looks at any of the outside mitigating factors of anything

    it's always in a vacuum

    it is hypothetical or slipper slope etc

    CBP has deployed 2,174 personnel,

    46 aircraft and 2 drones to assist dozens

    of police departments across the country

    since June, per CBP document leaked to me.

    This operation is much, much bigger than just Portland:

    Since the death of George Floyd, reporters -

    who are charged with upholding for the 1st Amendment - ALSO carry

    ballistic vests, hardened helmets and gas masks.

    We aren’t striking, tear-gassing or shooting anyone.

    IT’S FOR PROTECTION FROM AUTHORITIES.

    Perhaps you delete this tweet

    I am relieved that the court has protected Michael Cohen’s First Amendment rights,

    but think about what this means. Trump Admin tried to imprison a citizen for writing

    a book critical of the President. It is not an overstatement to say that this is

    a hallmark of tyranny.


    a few weeks back a fellow Braves fan was fond of throwing the word "tyranny" around when it came to mandates dealing with public health issues
    so many here tried to explain the meaning of the word.

    Instead of being ahead of the curve and siding with Mr Cohen's rights
    where the government was in fact caught red handed squelching his free speech, as prescribed in the Constitution. Yet, our fellow Braves fan, resident "Libertarian Not a Trump Guy" it seems to, without coaxing stay silent on the issue
    one would think he and the troop of other Libertarian Not Trump Guys would side of with our 1st Amendment.
    Without coaxing

    We'll have to see

    As I have noted before this fellow Braves fan would not recognize an attack on free speech if it hit him in the nuts.

    All (and I mean 100%) of his efforts to call out attacks on free speech are to make a partisan point. It is sad really. Just sad.

    62% of Americans don't feel they can speak freely.

    The feds aren't arresting peaceful protesters. Pretending that is happening is laughably dishonest.

    But why are there federal buildings in Portland? And if the locals won't protect it, who will?

    Yell can answer that at your leisure. I won't hold my breath

    The Feds are legal to protect the grounds of Federal Buildings in Portland ( or any city) what is at issue is them leaving the grounds

    searching out conflict.

    you knew that, right ?
    That is an honest question
