Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, I tend not to take any electronics when I protest. I can tell you that we marched from the feds building around the block while there were like 6 kids in those mini motorcycles/bikes. No feds were out until like after 8 since that was around the time I left. People were pretty much asking them to leave the protestors alone since everybody was on the street. Btw the street were the fed building is was blocked off before the protest was started.
So we had room and we were close to the building but the person with blueish hair with the guy wanted them to step on government property and kept egging them on. She's been there before a different protest but she wasn't being reckless like she was on Friday night.
Edit: also while we were marching they stayed behind.
"Stepping on government property" is "asking for blood"?
Stop defending the ones who actually committed violence.
Lol ok. People telling me what to do when they weren't even in area. Downvote all you like and make your own stories. Enjoy.
People if you expect violence at least go prepared don't act like victims because of your own stupidity that people tried to talk you out of it.
