Violence erupts at Berkeley March for Trump
The fighting Saturday started even before the event began, with people throwing punches, swinging signs and tossing smoke bombs. Hundreds of people filled the park, with anarchists and counter demonstrators far outnumbering what rally sponsors estimated were 60 to 75 Trump supporters...In the park, people opposed to Trump threw eggs and burned both American flags and the red βMake America Great Againβ Trump campaign hats. By the end of the demonstration Berkeley police had arrested 10 individuals "five...on suspicion of battery and four on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. A climate is being created by the Left in which aggressive physical protest is encouraged. The environment being fostered by progressive activists and politicians isn't healthy, it's cancerous. Peace is violence; ideological opposition is the silencing of dissenters; and freedom is confinement.
If this pattern continues the United States is headed down a dangerous path. The Party of Tolerance is not whom they claim they are. Progressives support violence and therefore are not tolerant of anyone that does not hold their views.
The more Progressives riot and fight the more Progressives will lose.They're destroying themselves.At this point it's not about winning and losing for Progressives it's all about anarchy.Lawlessness, mobocracy, revolution, chaos, mayhem, turmoil. All the Progressives have left at this point is their complete collapse !
What we're seeing here is the demise of American democracy.
The Democrat extremists are determined to intimidate peaceful pro President Trump rallies with bloody violence reminiscent of the tactics used by the Hitler's Sturmabteilung, or Brown Shirts, during the Nazi rise to power in the 1920s and 30s.
If these STORM TROOPERS of the Democrat party are not kept in check they will erode the foundations of freedom of political expression and instill dread in those who dare to publicly declare their support for any political ideology which does not have their stamp of approval.
If we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
Make no mistake about it, these Democrat thugs are political terrorists, and we shouldn't pooh, pooh the significance of the danger they represent.
Check your history books and you'll note that these thugs are the harbingers of the new age Gestapo.
There has been more violence, looting, and destruction of property in one month against Trump and his supporters than there were against Obama and his supporters in eight years. This should tell you all you need to know about who are civilized and who are barbarians.
I do have support for the claim, as that's how the whole Bible ties in. It's unlike Christus to initially overpower anything - that's never been his intention. God is timeless, so it doesn't matter to him when he comes.
As a final demonstration, he will die and resurrect again. During that time, his saints and angels that he brought from heaven will be tortured.
As to solid facts, no, it's all just imaginary.
It can tie in if you go really loose about what does. Everything can tie in with anything else.
I will never support violence unless it is self defense or if it is full on revolution against tyranny time. Neither is the case right now.
The only mitigating factor I'll say is this was at Berkeley. If colored Liberals march against Trump in a historically conservative hive they'd probably get attacked, too.
But it doesn't make it right in either circumstances. This is a free country with freedom of speech. People should not get physically attacked for exercising their free speech.
Now what are you talking about? Are you trying to say you would rather be in this world of pain, suffering, and evil because there are good things here, and you would rather be in Hell than to thank God for good things?
Public schools, especially Community Colleges, have been teaching this "activism" garbage probably for at least ten years....they sure were pushing it down kids throats masking it as "education" a few years ago when I took some college classes......pushing evolution teaching survival of the fittest and no objective morals, tell the kids they are important if they protest the things teachers say are bad, and this is what you get....mind numbed idiots who should be exiled to Haiti.
Seeing as I'm banned on your latest rant for pointing out your gross ignorance regarding the bible I would like to address your cowardice yet again ; you talk about me but allow me no defence by banning me from responding , here is what you state ......
...........even Dermit managed to disagree with me in a long back and forth discussion lasting ten rounds or so before he started melting down at the end and reverted back to his jack ass childish antics .......
What actually happened there was I destroyed your precious ontological argument and you resorted to banning me as you had no valid defence ; yesterday same thing you display your hypocrisy by spouting what a great believer you are while ignoring totally what the bible says about charity and then. Crying because an atheist uses it against you ..... you're a hypocrite of the worst type Jesus would actually detest you .....
The poor man as I stated before was most likely a chronic alcoholic and not unusually replaced his addiction to drink with one to religion , the reformed addict who takes to religion normally embraces the ' fire and brimstone ' version as it perfectly fits with their anger issues .
The appalling hypocrisy of Stain is apparent in his daily rants he talked about working in a homeless shelter that assists the needy yet this ghastly hypocrite judges and condemns those unfortunates mentally as he dispenses ' charity ' .
This appalling creature elevates himself on a lofty pedestal spitting vemon and bile at those he judges morally inferior to himself ... as I've said previously Jesus would actually detest this particular Christian hypocrite
And here you are minus Alice and the mad hatter living outside wonderland .... all that's missing is the talking serpent from the magical garden of Eden .... the enchanted Apple , the rib woman Eve ,the Jewish Zombie who is his own father , the virgin πMary ....... the start of the bible should read .... Once upon a time π
Dermot, sir, I appreciate that you showed your best manners with me in order to engage in a discussion in which you claim total victory. The only problem is that you have failed to prove death exonerates you; you have failed to prove you are innocent and not worthy of being left in the fire of Hell forever. There is a standard of behavior, and God Himself is that standard, there is right and wrong and you fall short and are morally corrupt the same as me and everybody else.
The only real difference between you and I is that I am thankful toward God who has covered my sins with His own blood, and forgave me all my sin as He is risen from the dead; my sins could not hold Him in the ground, He paid for my sins though He was unlike you or I, innocent. This is the love of God, that Christ died for us while we were still His enemies. There is no greater love. Believe it and know it, or deny it and never know it, it's your choice and if you end up frying in Hell like an eternal sausage like I predict you will (and I hope I'm wrong about that, I hope you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and get saved), you sure won't believe yourself in those moments when you say "Oh God!!! Why didn't you show me before I got here!!!!!".

The only real difference between you and I is that I am thankful toward God who has covered my sins with His own blood, I want to honor and obey Him who forgave me all my sin as He is risen from the dead; my sins could not hold Him in the ground, He paid for my sins though He was unlike you or I, innocent. This is the love of God, that Christ died for us while we were still His enemies. There is no greater love.

I want good for you, you want to tear me down into the hopelessness of evolution; you want me to be thankless toward God and bitter about pain, suffering, and evil in the world. Sorry, Dermot....I'm going to be like Jesus, I'm not going to be like you.
And before you go off in your presentation of a sissified false Jesus who in your warped mind only talked of love like a flower child, and only preached caring for the sick and disabled, you might want to read the gospels....Jesus preached against sin, He named the sins specifically and He called people names labeling their character according to their sins....liars, thieves, hypocrites, blind leaders of the blind, children of Hell of their father the devil, whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones (in other words, they had bad breath, full of hot poison air, their teachings were evil and lead to death). They crucified Him because of His preaching, and He said I am supposed to pick up my cross and follow Him. I'm ready to be crucified, so haters like you really don't bother me. I count it an honor of the Lord when haters like you try to tear me down. You are evidence that I am doing what the Lord wants me to do when He says I should pick up my cross and follow Him and He will make me a fisher of man. I'm fishing for souls, and you are a snake trying to bite me while I'm trolling.
Why do you keep responding? The only real response you have is to try to prove you are exonerated in death and prove you have the right to exist outside of Hell and there is only one way to really test your assertions in those things and you are afraid to try so you just run your mouth like a bad of hot air, a whitewashed tomb full of dead men's bones. Enjoy your religion of death.
Do you feel like as long as you can blow hot air from your wet pile of dust, you are actually proving death exonerates you and you have the right to exist outside of Hell? If you really feel better by doing what you are doing, by all means do it because this is as good as it's going to be for you so you might as well enjoy yourself while you can. It could be better but you want it as it is and you have it by your own choice......death.
I only respond to the odd one of your rants yet you leave 5 to 7 replies on each of my responses ..... I'm really getting to you aren't I ?
You don't believe your own fairytale so you try and convince rational people of your nonsense ; I will admit one thing though you do actually hate everyone equally which means you're hurting a lot ππ
Good. As long as you are responding, you are still in this world of pain, suffering, and evil. Maybe you will realize God is good and seek His mercy before He gets tired of you and lets you have what you want, a reality void of any indication of His goodness and that reality you want can only be found in the fire of Hell.
You are asking for it, and I'm glad God has not yet given you the reality you want, burning fire depriving you of anything you might say is good; depriving you of anything to thank God for, giving you nothing but cursing of your own existence. Keep on trying to exonerate yourself in death if you want to, your committing suicide trusting in death to get you our of reality, sorry sir...you're stuck with yourself.
Did I respond to this? I hope I'm not responding twice to the same post, but I'm glad you are in this world rampant with pain, suffering, and evil and I'm glad you are not burning in Hell; it's too bad you find nothing good is from God but at least you can enjoy some good things, like air and water...assuming you are still here. You are still here, right?
Try writing something much longer so I can tell without reading it that it's a new post. Most of your posts look the same lately.
God loves you.......I hope you have a wonderful time here.
Yes , you leave on average five to eleven responses to my two liners which shows I've gotten to you ππ what was it the fact that you publicly mocked the homeless behind their backs like the Christian hypocrite you are ?
No doubt you will be front pew at your local church all moist eyed at fellow hypocrites stories of assisting the needy ... bet you don't sleep much at night you hypocrite
Sorry, Dermy, if the only way you will believe that you exist forever and sinners have no right to exist outside of the fire of Hell is for you to find yourself in that fire with no way out, that's the way you will find out that you are wrong.
Well no you haven't lost interest as can be evidenced by the fact that you leave up to 5 replies on each of my posts π€ You see you're a hypocrite of the worst kind you sympathise and offer support to the homeless and needy yet mock and belittle them when they're out of earshot .
As I stated before if Jesus himself roamed the earth again you and your ilk would crucify him for doing the very things you preach that others should be doing ; you're a hypocrite
You still fail to prove that you have the right to exist outside of Hell. I understand the thought of not having the right to exist outside of Hell makes you want to tear me to pieces. That is the natural reaction of a swine when you cast pearls to it.
Your reply is profound and fascinating. It seems to prove that you think death exonerates you, and your response also is pretty good evidence that you think God has no right to kill you and leave you frying forever like an eternal sausage in Hell.
You did prove that I am correct about what you think, right?
Don't worry about us, stain. If you don't go to hell directly, then I'll do the talk with Yahweh. I'll tell him about your heresy. And after that, you'll certainly be thrown into hell.
Also, with a bit of solving stuff, I came to conclude that the name of holy spirit is Yimboy.
Good to see you are still with us and not burning in Hell, good to see you have not tested your belief that death exonerates you and God has no right to kill you and leave you in Hell forever.
You are reading my posts, correct? I am correct in stating you believe God has no right to kill you, and you believe you are exonerated in death so God has no right to leave you in agony, frying like an eternal sausage in Hell, correct?
Sorry , Stain the only way you will believe you're not a 'Christian' hypocrite is by dispensing charity at the homeless centre without your judgemental egotistical opinions being foisted on those less fortunate .
If there was such a place as hell judgemental hypocrites like you would roast in it .
No you have not lost interest in my ' rants ' otherwise why do you leave on average five replies to each ?
Seeing as your sin separates you from God and you don't care if you are forever banished from life, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you think maybe you should care about yourself and begin to fear God and desire to know the truth and you seek it with your whole heart, you will find it and be set free and you will know Jesus is God and He is the way, the truth, and the life.
But really, I've told you many times and you have set up a brick wall in your mind behind which you think you can keep God from seeing you....bad news, Dermit, all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. God sees you, you are not getting away with anything. You will answer to God if you believe it or not.
Well seeing as the truth according to you is to judge other people and to demonise the needy ,homeless and underprivileged I think it's you who should be afraid and probably are ; you see I don't believe in your fairytale but you do and that's why you live a life filled with fear
Yes , speaking about yourself yet again , you're so transparent as you continuously try to make others believe in what you do not believe yourself thus your misdirected anger
Well, if you think death exonerates you and you think God has no right to kill you and leave you in Hell forever, that's just too bad for you, isn't it?
Are you reading my posts? Can't you answer with a simple yes or no? Do you think God has no right to kill you and leave you in Hell, and do you think you are exonerated in death? Yes or no.
hahahahaha...........God loves you Dermmy, why do you hate God and expect Him to not kill you and leave you in Hell? Do you think He is supposed to bow down to you just because He loves you? Do you think He is supposed to allow you to go unpunished because He loves you? Do you think you are exonerated in death and not punished? Do you think being nasty in a world of pain and suffering is justified because of your own pain and suffering? Do you feel like you prove you have the right to exist outside of Hell if you act a little less nasty today than you acted yesterday?
Good to see you are still with us and not burning in Hell. You and the nag pal keep showing up on me screen, I think you guys need and should give each other a hug.
