That went on for over 100 days and included a murder. Plus a guy getting kicked in the back of his head execution style.
I like the loaded language you added there for extra affect - "kicked...execution style"
do you remember how/why the portland protests started? and do you remember why they persisted for so long?
do you know the facts of the Haner case...?....the guy chose to put himself in a really bad position in the middle of a fkn riot and things went sideways...he tried to run some people down with his truck!
Attempting to employ that to gain leverage undermines your argument...just like the weird clutching you did on the school renaming.
you take something superficially favorable to your argument, inflate it, and then beat it to fkn death
but it is never really the slam dunk you portray it to be, IMO

Also had a murder (or 2?) and local residents and businesses being harassed and held hostage, and the left media portrayed it like is was some kind of one love summer camp.
hyperbole and false claim about the news coverage
I understand you are a person who favors orderliness....so this bothers you a lot....but CHAZ was dumb as fk and it's over now.
again, do you remember how CHAZ started? the police packed up and left the precinct....
more importantly....no one is talking about Malheur wildlife refuge or Minnesota capital building takeover or any of the similarly stupid things people on the right have done, but CHAZ will live FOREVER?! do you want to talk about how
those events were covered by the media, too? that knife cuts both ways, sir.
Just because there were a lot of peaceful protests does not negate what happened in those that went bad. You also forgot to mention that at least 18 people were killed in the melee. Lots of local independent businesses were ransacked, and the fact that you are saying "muh burger king" is nothing but gaslighting and you ignoring the actual reality of what happened.
the point I made and that I will re-state here is that you inflate the facts with dramatization and hyperbole and harp on them to literally no end
the 2020 summer riots were the result of a string of police shootings....there were like 10 different people killed that year or prior who were memorialized with protests.
and then, on top of that, the cops kept doing sh!t like this at the protests:
people were killed and property was damaged. no one is denying that. no one is cheering that. no one is
excusing that. what I do find offensive is the minimization of the genesis for the protests-cum-riots, the fact that we KNOW there were white nationalist agitators false flagging the riots with violence and property damage, as well as the fact that the police themselves were guilty of continued escalation at many protests around the country...all of which adds up to a giant sh!t sandwich which you want to only hold the left responsible for, without honest acknowledgement that there were multiple forces at play.
Angy Ngo is a piece of sh!t who was attempting to have his cake and eat it too, making the news on behalf of Patriot Prayer in exchange for protection. He is not a journalist or neutral and got his card punched as a result. Please stop fkn talking about him. He's not a fkn martyr. He is an opportunist.
