Funny thing, I find the prayer rallies that get stormed by the antifa in portland provocative acts in themself also.

Or, in your mind, there is a 'first marcher or demonstration gets a free pass' rule?

But I see that a May Day March with more than a handful of acts of violence during the march seemingly gets a pass in your mind.

By "prayer rallies" are you referring to the Patriot Prayer group?

If so, I don't think that "prayer rallies" is an adequate description of their gatherings...

My apologies for not capitalizing the 'P'. Horrors.

But yes. I find those rallies or 'first marches' to be 'provocative'. Do you?

That is if you can get over the error in capitalization that seemingly is presented as the 'end all of gotchas' there.

How about "Prayer Rallies"? Does that soothe your conscience? Or are we going down the path of 'what is the absolutest *best* nomenclature one must use' tussle here? Or must everyone use every single word to salve you? But I am glad to note that you are able to understand what I am denoting, even in light of the horrendous capitalization error that you 'pounced' upon.

(Btw are you on the leftist side aware of the media use of 'pounce' when it comes to Republican/Democratic reporting?)

I don’t think you need to salve me, but thanks.

I may be dense, but I see a world of difference in the following statements:

“Dateline Portland: Members of Antifa stormed a prayer rally in a public park today.”

“Dateline Portland: Members of Antifa clashed with members of the far-right group Patriot Prayer in a public park today.“

I honestly was not sure if you were referring to the far-right group with your original statement or not. It was not a gotcha .
