FCC Sees Increase In Advertised Broadband Speeds, Most Providers Deliver Speeds Advertised; + more news → Re: Senator asks social networks, carriers to preserve evidence from Capitol

Is that the right link? All I got from that story is how Facebook is to blame for allowing some domestic terrorist group make plans. But from your earlier post, it appears you are saying anyone who is on the right is in the same corral with these groups. Do you really feel like that?

As far as the "insurrectionists". Do your self a favor. Put away the dog whistle of stereotyping every person there as one because by doing so, you also just label BLM as being "insurrectionists" since ONE was found, inside the building claiming he was there video taping the incident. How quaint.

If you aren't part of the solution then you are the problem. Like cops who don't realize their role in institutional racism, even though they aren't racist themselves. The political right made a deal with Satan and now must pay it back with interest.

You are judged by the company you keep.

The law is against law breakers. Without laws, there'd be no freedom.And you are judged by the people you protect. If people break the law, they deserve to pay the price for it. You treat everyone the same. The law isn't written to play favorites. At least not the ones I was tasked with enforcing. And, don't go down this rabbit hole of "institutional racism" because you need to make some room for "institutional discrimination"

So, too add to your last line, You are also judged by your actions or inactions.

I know enough. Not too much. Once a war starts the first casualty is the truth. I quit watching as the flying BS is dangerous. I know many cops treat all black people as if they were armed thugs and other cops never correct them and that's a problem.

I lived in Houston's Fourth Ward in the 1970s when the murder rate was higher than Beirut, in the height of the Lebanon civil war. (Know some Gemayel/Jamail cousins as a matter of fact.) There are documentaries from the era which I co-produced.

While doing counterculture news in Texas I became intimately acquainted with Cointelpro, (who dynamited my station off the air twice, aided by the FBI and the KKK.)

The tactics I have described were used extensively in the Vietnam Era and survive to this day. Things aren't usually what they seem at first blush. Especially in the digital age.

I do not wish to expand further. I'm pretty sure I ain't being bamboozled. But then again, it's a lot more work to con the honest. Sorry about your Second Coming falling apart.

There are failures all over. Stereotyping is something that's been around since the dawn of time, it's not going to go away and the fools who think it will are beyond ignorant.

And not sure if I understand your "sorry about your second coming falling apart". I didn't know I was implying I was looking for one.

If you are referring as to what happened in DC, I'll still repeat it. If anyone entered a restricted space, damaged property and assault a police office, or anyone for that matter, they should be held accountable. HOWEVER, if they are going after people who were just there on the steps, did not enter the building, why isn't the media talking about this being the biggest mass violation of the 1st amendment in our nations history? ALL the protesters who didn't riot are being "stereotyped" as terrorists and the media and the congress members (Hey Nancy, you listening?) gas lighting that label need to be reminded the constitution applies to everyone and by slandering the masses who were there for a peaceful show of unity have about had enough. Hmm, what was that she said once.. "Protesters are going to do what they do" when she asked about why the Democrats didn't condemn the violence of ANTFA and BLM protests? Were over 700 cops have been injured, 19 dead, millions of dollars in damages (and this shit is still happening. A walk back to history Portland Or, Nov 10 2016, On November 10, 2016, three days of protests in Portland, Oregon, turned into a riot, when a group of anarchists broke off from a larger group of peaceful protesters who were opposed to the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States. And remember, at one point during all this, Trump wanted to send in Troops and he was called out for it. And now?

You weren't. I was probably reacting to another stream.

Ok. I was confused. Thought I was ranting about something that didn't make it from my brain to my fingers in time... But I did add a little something extra.
