There's a major problem with letting police do that....

4th amendment

If we are OK with letting police search the backpacks then it's not long before its random people walking down the street getting searched. Including people not breaking any laws.

I understand why you are saying this but not long ago people were saying. If you dont have anything to worry about...

well look at what has happened since Nov 2016. I'm not ready to give up constitutional rights, so quickly. Because if the government will do what they did to this President and those around him. Let them have a foot in that door, they kick it open.

Some places (NYC) have already had stop and frisk in the past. Everyone that flies on an airplane today has their belongings checked for harmful devices. In this particular time and during the duration of this particular destructive event, I doubt that very many law abiding citizens would object to this taking place out on the streets at night. When things go back to normal (the vandalism, attacks, burning, and looting stops) then the checking of bags could end.

Everything is a projection with you. Face it Bubba Antifa is going to kill any support that you hoped to have from the middle. And when this country wakes up and realizes that all of this crap is being taught in the public school system and return oversight for curriculum to the states instead of trusting the NEA we will be a long way down the road to making this wholly irrelevant since it is those schools that have produced the delusional Millennial belief system.

I can't help but think you invented Teflon because nothing seems to to stick to you no matter how many times you are flat wrong, or how many times you crayfish from a position, or how many times you lie and get caught. But rally to protect Antifa and any chance the Dems had will evaporate. Most Americans still hate thugs. And make no mistake the new issue for the Fall is no longer COVID 19 but rather innocent store owners trying to protect their livelihood and therefore their lives getting beaten or killed at the hands of thugs using a protest for cover to loot. And behind the anarchy are left wing militant organizers and you defend them and wonder why you have no cred here. You might start thinking that America's middle ground is the point where both the right and left are disgusted by violence and crime. Instead you defend it and try to blame Hillary's vast right wing conspiracy.

It's just all so damned funny! But it's also pathetic.

You have black outsiders beating and looting in these cities. You have the far right domestic terror group causing issues with violence as well. You hae BLM members trying to stop people from doing the crimes.

You all are getting your info about Antifa from the KKK and them. You all are being groomed to be part of the KKK to destroy this country. Antifa is here to try and stop these far right Fascist groups who wants to play Hitler to commit genocide on the minority groups. One way to do that is to smear their enemies.

Quit looking under rocks for the bogey man. Sincere protestors were duped and taken advantage of by far left violent factions and that's the beginning and end of the story. And David it sure as hell wasn't the Klan in Portland and Seattle which allowed violent attacks on elderly motorists, it was ANTIFA. Nothing new here either. Same criminal element, same communist tactics and they date back to October 1917 and haven't ever changed. Use militants mixed in with protestors in order to provoke violence in an attempt to paint the current government as the bad guy. So whether women and children are ridden down in Moscow in protest for bread, or race is used to bait rage here, nothing has changed. When the tables were turned on the Chinese in Tienneman Square nothing violent ever occurred except the man in front of the tank disappeared for good. Those who made him disappear are the ones who help to finance ANTIFA along with Soros and some corporate backers who don't want their trade with China disrupted.

Dude, you are so misinformed, if not just outright stupid. The modern "KKK" is a bunch of toothless old men with no political or military power whatsoever. And "white supremacists" is more of a liberal rallying point (aka war cry) than an actual segment of our population.

Riding on a air plane is not a right under the constitution, and while I never flown, I bet when you buy that ticket there is something on it giving up your right to be searched.

As we seen with 911 things dont go back to normal once you give the government the right to intrude on you. Ask the President, because he was spied on by laws put into place after 911

No think you, I'm not willing to give up my 4th amendment because of some want to be thugs. There's laws on the books to take care of that problem. Enforce them.

People have to undergo a mandatory search if they want to board a plane.

Like I said there are laws already on the books to deal with this problem. Let the governor call a State of Emergency. As we seen for the last 3 or 4 months, they can then put into place the rules they want to. Like banning backpacks but I guess they could do that anyways.

I'm just not willing to give the government permission to intrude on my rights outside of a a State of Emergency. With the hope they only do it this one time. I dont trust them to do that.

Hey, when I talk to RWT, I'm not speaking to him. I'm conveying information for the rest of the board and visitors to read. In other words I don't give a damn what Tom thinks. I care about what those reading his drivel think after I counter it with something for them to think about.

He does the same thing when he comments to most posters here. He is interested in having a voice to the broader audience that reads here rather than posts here.

Look at the views for any thread and then count the active posters in the thread.

It's a whole different ball game than point counter point between two posters.
