you have to look in awe at the media when they tear apart Annoying Orange for "failing to condemn the national socialists" (even though he technically did it) and calling out the violence on both sides (which did happen), meanwhile some BLM nut kills several cops with a loving sniper rifle and Obama doesn't call out BLM and the media supports him

....obama did condemn.....the blm cop shooting when it happened.....

you'll find other journalists who were at the scene (from the NYTimes I believe) who agree that violence was on both sides

do you honestly loving think that Antifa, for once out of the millions of times it's crashed rallies and protests and waged war against conservatives, did absolutely nothing wrong?

I said "call out BLM", not "condemn the shooting"

one group committed a terrorist act and killed a person, the other one didn't. it's a ridiculous false equivalency.

[Red Spy]

the other one is much more pronounced and is known for destroying huge amounts of public property. it's very similar, even if they haven't killed anyone yet

One group committed a terrorist attack, and the other has continuously attacked conservative/right-leaning events to beat up people, destroy property and promote fear amongst conservatives across this entire year. They have the support of people in Hollywood and the media refuses to condemn them on the scale they condemned national socialists even before this terrorist attack. In fact, such a strong outlash from the national socialists can be directly attributed to this group ramping up the hostility in the political climate, to the point of Charlottesville literally reflecting the Weimar Republic.

I think they're equal. It's your opinion whether or not they're equal, but to dismiss the bad they did across a long period of time and at this event because of one particular instance of right-wing terrorism only ramps up the violence more.

i think it's fair to say millions of dollars worth of stuff being destroyed is about as equal as hitting someone with your car on purpose

[Maxwell.]

yeah no it isn't. not by a long shot

hitting and killing* what is wrong with you

[Tactical Nuke]

add spraying an old man with pepper spray and quite possibly blinding a right-leaning political commentator with bear spray to the list

are they equal now

hitting and killing* what is wrong with you

why don't you tell me how i'm wrong

[Maxwell.]

add spraying an old man with pepper spray and quite possibly blinding a right-leaning political commentator with bear spray to the list

are they equal now

if you don't get how injury is much less terrible than death then there's no hope for you

there's a big moral difference in using pepper spray to defend yourself vs hitting someone with a loving car. no one is gonna die and pepper spray blindness is usually temporary

why don't you tell me how i'm wrong

why'd you leave out the fact someone died in that crash

some injuries and property damage don't equate to killing a person and injuring 20 more you forgetin ghouls

[Punished Toxicology]

nah dey deserved it

[Tactical Nuke]

if you don't get how injury is much less terrible than death then there's no hope for you

I mean I'd think death and permanently blinding someone, both over petty political stuff would be pretty equatable

there's a big moral difference in using pepper spray to defend yourself vs hitting someone with a loving car.

you're forgetting that this is a spry young man pepper spraying a 70-80 year old man over being pro-Annoying Orange
