At times Rob can get on some nerves. Sometimes we all can. Calling him a Fuck is rather poor form, when he has contributed far more to this forum than you. He may at times seem know it all, but everyone here knows that he means well and is genuine.
We're a bit above name calling. Act like it.

Chicago Mayor just announced a curfew effective in about half-hour. Mayor was shockingly strong in her language and resolve.
They've got paddy wagons out and the cops are rolling tear gas out and starting to disperse the crowds downtown.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
Dear lord, shifting the goalposts on "instigators," much?
Yes, in any riot, many assholes see what shit they can get others to do.
That's a universe away from Soros, or lord knows who else, setting the country on fire. Or "NPR-types."
To those of us who have perceived the great lakes of gasoline covering this nation, this is no shock. If you thought everything was great, aside from the rabble-rousing left, this is probably unbelievable outside the lens of "outside agitation."
Of course, good identity leftists are going through some even more convoluted justifications on why this is totally righteous protest. White supremacy is the root of all bad things, at all times, for all non-whites..... tedious.
Let me re-interate a point I have made before:
IN A DEMOCRACY, THIS IS OUR FAULT. YOURS TRULY INCLUDED. PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF THE REPUBLIC DEPENDS ON IT. REALITY DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN WHOSE FAULT THIS IS.
To our brave LEOs who are dealing with the mess we have created, may I offer an apology for our poor stewardship, and please keep yourself as safe as you can. This nation needs you desperately, because we have failed at creating a sustainable society.
Me, I'm wondering where my copy of I Will Fear no Evil is. Not for the main tale, but just to see Heinlein's vision of almost-gone America. Morbid, I know.
REPETITION CREATES BELIEF
REPETITION BUILDS THE SEPARATE WORLDS WE LIVE AND DIE IN
NO EXCEPTIONS
So in your opinion was my point of view so outrageous that the Constitution had to be invoked to protect the groups and people that I named?
I believe antifa and George Soros are trying to bring down America from within and are pure evil. I think the press is complicit in these activities.. I think any person who's of reasonable age and experience would understand the constitution protects people like this. However I believe the focus needs to be on the cause of the massive destruction done to our cities and the displacement of good hard-working business owners and people that results from it.
According to protesters in Seattle today the demonstration was overrun with antifa and other scoff laws that had a different agenda. As has been the case here during WTO meetings etc. And yes I understand Seattle encourages this to get their agenda through.
So I feel The blanket of the Constitution was secondary to my point pertaining to the cause of most of this chaos going on.
So I also feel that invoking the Constitution was intended to discredit and invalidate my beliefs.
My mistake - Deleted.
