There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

    Cool cool, my mistake. Thank you for the correction.

    (As an aside, for anyone outside of Oregon, fyi, Portland is not burned down. I rode through it last week. It’s very much not burned down. It has some problems, but the problems you see on the street are caused by income inequality and lack of free health care, not people with the courage to fight for civil rights.)

      I live here and have done so for over 20 years, so thank you for your efforts toward clarity. To further elucidate, the only burning of property during the so-called riots was largely caught on camera from multiple individuals and clearly showed “police” setting fires — not to mention inciting (or attempting to incite) violence. Secondly, it’s not a lack of free health care, nor is the solution that simple, but you are correct in that the problem is certainly not those like myself with the courage to fight for my fellow citizens’ rights as human beings.

      I upvoted you for your retraction - and I appreciate your making me think about it and prove it. When was Tarrio convicted? I had to look it up - Sep 5. Did Welker actually refer to his conviction? I had to look it up - yes.

      So, yes, it was “easy” to prove, but I had to do work to prove it, and I am better informed because of it.

      For that, you have my sincere thanks.
