The country has been on fire for the last 42 months and now that people are finally reacting to it (and even then almost ALWAYS peaceably) you have a problem with it?
Relax, it’s just anonymous “peace officers” (who are armed to the teeth with military hardware) detaining random “protesters” without any consideration of their Constitutional rights.
What? You think the St. Louis couple wouldn’t have grabbed their firearms the moment their kids started a “home protest”? LOL! But seriously, protests aren’t riots and riots aren’t protests. Orders to force the dispersal of a peaceful assembly in public is immoral and unconstitutional.
I lived through riots and martial law in the U.S. in the 70s. The single most important factor in the escalation to violence was undersupervised police reaction. A “gung-ho” rogue police captain dropped tear gas from a helicopter and appeared on a national magazine cover with a morning star mace on his belt. Not funny. Not helpful.
This is how the right-wing media is portraying Portland. I have relatives living there and this is exaggerated to sell advertising, for propaganda and to scare those “brave” conservatives.
How does grabbing random people, groping them, whisking them away in unmarked vans, and denying them a phone call address the problem of the people who actually are causing damage?
Odd how I see peaceful protests a lot these days – without any of the burning or destruction that Ms. Benson claims is commonplace… of course, we keep the alt-rights at bay so they cannot add burning and destruction to the peaceful protests…
Well Dad Killed one of the Kids for trying to use a possibly counterfeit bill. Then Dad brought in his Hunting buddies to Traumatize them guns and bats.
Tell those parents of the Boogaloo Bois that are starting the fires and tearing up the house to stop them from causing damage that they are trying to blame on peaceful protestors. Tell them to vote for Biden to stop Trump from sending unidentified federal agents (THUGS in this case) from causing more chaos by abducting people off the streets and putting them in unmarked vans and shooting projectiles and tear gas canisters at peaceful protestors. The protests had been winding down.
And it’s the Right Wing extremists, disguised as protesters, that are doing it to discredit the peaceful protests and instigate violence, while Trump’s jack-booted militia invade to ensure that happens.

Is this after dad killed the family pet and then beat the children for crying about the pet?

What sets Lisa apart from other editorial cartoonists is that she always has dingleberries with her bowl of stupid at breakfast every morning.

It’s your house, they are your kids, you should control the little vandals you raised.

Like every right winger, they can’t see that they set their own house on fire.

Why do the Rightwing Cartoonists like Lisa have to lie, while the Leftwingers just draw what they actually saw on live video….like Stuart here:

Lisa wants us to take a page out of Il Douche’s “Hitler Handbook” and demolish our entire house whenever the kids damage it a little bit.
There’s no situation so bad that a little conservative thinking can’t make it worse.

It is just “peaceful protest” until they come for you! This is how the French Revolution degraded into the reign of terror!
