Actually Mr. Varvel, now the “police” have LEFT the scene, there’ve been only peaceful demonstrations. the character you’ve depicted here, is what those ‘’police" looked like, and behaved like. It’s a shame your skills’ve so declined you’re unable to draw accurately.
Because Q-anon, the Boogaloos (?), the Klan and their ilk are pure and blameless Gary? Grow up. (I just can’t mention the Boogaloos without a giggle. Really?? Boogaloos? We used to do that dance! It’s like saying “Beware of the Smurfs”)
Sure, why not? Everyone else is using this motif. I’ll tell you what, I’ll accept this if you post a picture of Derek Chauvin killing Floyd George representing all police. You know, it’s obvious that all the violence is not the fault of agents provocateur; but it this picture accurately depicted the protesters, the such agents would never have been necessary in the first place.
Seriously, have you ever even SEEN a protest? This is a guy who turns on the late night news for twenty seconds coverage of the worst elements of opportunists in a demonstration involving hundreds or thousands of people. That’s like saying the guy who crashes into a gasoline tanker truck in an effort to get to work two minutes earlier is representative of peaceful and cooperative drivers everywhere. Seriously?
I was curious to see if any newspapers actually carried Varvel’s cartoons so I googled it. None do that I could see (surprise) but I did learn from Wikipedia, his former paper the Indianapolis Star, had to apologize for and eventually pull one of his cartoons that was criticized as being racist. Another time, again according to Wikipedia, the Star had to apologize for a cartoon that was viewed as being demeaning to women and sexual assault victims. So today’s cartoon shows personal growth compared to those! Maybe? Sort of? (Good thing GoComics never feels the need to apologize for anything)
Fascist Republicans act like anyone to the left of Orange Hitler is an anti fascist,which they are, and should be put in prison for 10 years. Meanwhile the vicious republican partisans are continuing the spread of covid in prisons.
As prisons across US report surge in COVID-19 cases, Supreme Court rules jail does not have to provide basic protections to inmates
There is no legal principle justifying this stay. The only ‘principle’ animating it is the belief of the Republican appointees to the Court that prisoners are subhuman.”
As prisons and jails across the country continue to report Covid-19 outbreaks among inmates and staff, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled late Wednesday that a county jail in California does not have to provide its population with basic sanitary and protective equipment or test symptomatic inmates.
Responding to an emergency application by officials at Orange County Jail, the court handed down a 5-4 ruling along partisan lines and issued a temporary stay on an earlier ruling by federal Judge Jesus Bernal.
University of Washington political science professor Scott Lemieux noted that the conservative justices issued their “absolutely indefensible” ruling while working from home “because it’s not safe from them to go into work.”
The only principle behind the decision, Lemieux said, “is the belief of the Republican appointees to the Court that prisoners are subhuman and extraordinary measures need to be taken to expose as many of them to a deadly virus as possible.”
The majority did not provide a reason for their ruling.
I’m seeing a trend toward admitting the truth, not all by a long shot. No one could be so stupid as to think all this rioting and looting was the work of the far right. Great Artwork Varval truth to power
Trump has inspired the white supremacists to come out in the open. Several Boogaloo Bois have been arrested and the ads on social media claiming to be recruiting Antifa for violence have been tied back to white supremacist groups. There has been a drastic rise in domestic violence tied back to white supremacists.
Therefore Trump and his cheerleaders like Varvel are really the ones behind the violence.
This looks like the poster child for . . . . oh, wait . . . the cap isn’t Red but the Hate is there. Yep, it’s a Varvel . Accept no imitations. Only 100% BS.
The problem is CNNLOL and MSDNC are not showing the destruction going on, and the wild gaffes by Biden so they are unaware that this is actually happening.The liberal, biased media is doing their best to hide all this, as they are all in for socialism. You know, “shared misery”. Folks, if you want socialism, move to Cuba or Venezuela. Pretty sure you won’t like it.
I will guarantee that the libs will not see this on their favorite news channel!nces riots
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.
A riot was declared Wednesday evening when agitators descended upon the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct building, spray-painted over security cameras, broke a glass door with a 2×4, lit a fire using an accelerant and threw fireworks and other objects at officers, according to FOX 12 in Portland.
Police said that a truck also attempted to run over officers.
The front doors of the precinct were barricaded before the fire was started with more than 20 officers and civilian employees inside, police said, according to FOX 12.
Officers used tear gas to disperse the rioters and at least eight people were arrested. A federal court order bars police from using tear gas unless a riot is declared.
“I believe that city staff could have died last night,” Wheeler said. “I cannot and I will not tolerate that. This is not peaceful protests. This is not advocacy to advance reforms.”
The Far Right is trying to start a civil war and Gary Varvel is their tool
Of Course Gary wants to start a war to trigger the next coming of Christ.
Hey Gary here is a hint. You and your kind are turning Christianity into a Death Cult. You Sacrifice innocents to your Death toy every day ( Because Jesus loves Guns?) and your Idol Trump worship Mammon
Uh oh. Joe stepped in it again today. Please don’t hide him. He’s writing Trumps reelection ads for him.Biden – “What you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community, with incredibly different attitudes about different things … it’s a very diverse community”.Nice insult to the blacks Joe. THANKS!
No, Gary, you have not portrayed a peaceful protester.
Neither have you portrayed any of the peaceful protesters, mothers, and others (including passive media observers and even a mayor) who were tear-gassed and otherwise assaulted by federal agents.
