SOME of the people who are going to the protests are like this. Some are there to make a point. It’s an interesting dynamic: BLM needs to keep pressure on “our” governments and cops and the way that seems to work is to have marches and protests. But the folks who are completely opposed to what BLM is about can come and pee into the soup until it takes on an entirely different flavor, more to their liking. And if BLM tries to do something about it, it can turn violent, and if they don’t then their message is lost.
This site lists Mr. Danziger as “Left,” but he all too often seems eager to lend support to the right’s persistent whine that left-wingers look down right-wingers as hicks and rubes. Today’s cartoon strikes me as an example; others are those of 8/23/19 (https://www.gocomics.com/jeffdanziger/2019/08/23), 11/5/19, 12/5/19, and 4/9/20. Such expressions of contempt might seem to serve the right’s political interests more than the left’s.
We are seeing this in Portland Oregon. The real protesters have a message and are peaceful, but the trouble makers are mostly coming in from out of the area to fight, burn and riot.
Domestic right wing hate groups constitute the greatest threat to U.S. safety and security according to numerous law enforcement agencies. Not Antifa (which is not an organized group). Not BLM. Not George Soros.
Did you see the sinking of the Trump boats at Lake Travesty was because the big Trump boats kept going back and forth at top speeds and created big wakes. The wakes swamped the small boats but the big boats kept going, uncaring that they were sinking the rest of the group even though people tried to stop them. The perfect symbol for the vicious and uncaring Trump admin.
Fascists were the mortal enemy of the United States during WW II, and, even more, were the mortal enemy of all that is good and decent in human civilization. Neo-fascists, therefore, are (necessarily) traitors to the United States. Period.
I saw on the news tonight there is a whole parade of right wingers in pick ups going to Seattle. This shows that they are outside agitators, I wonder how many of them are paid?

Well, yeah, there aren’t too many public occasions when you get to show off your arsenal. And if you’re really feeling spry, you get to use them.

And if you get beaten up by someone bigger and stronger than you, you get to whine about being “victimized”.

A high school friend, many years ago told me he liked being a cop because of the nightstick. Ever the same.

None of the violent protesters arrested in Kenosha were from Kenosha…just as in Portland, Seattle, Ferguson…
