The devolution into political chatter on this hockey forum is why I hardly post on here anymore. And the negative, personal vitriol that you direct towards each other is disconcerting. Having said this, I am about to make a political statement.....

Why do you (Americans) appear to hate "the other side"? Why can't you listen to "the other side" and gain perspective? Why can't you talk to each other instead of shout over one another? Why can't you find common ground for the good of all American's?

The implosion of the U.S. is sad to see.

Protesters in Portland, Oregon, doxed dozens of federal law enforcement officers, according to reports, with demonstration leaders encouraging those receiving the information to visit officers’ homes.

Federal Protective Service Deputy Director of Operations Richard Cline revealed the doxing in a press conference late Tuesday, as a way of explaining why Customs and Border Patrol agents, helping to quell the riots in Portland and defend the city’s federal courthouse, were not wearing badges that featured their names — only the CBP insignia

Customs and Border Patrol doesn't exist. Customs and Border Protection and Broder Patrol are 2 different bureaus under Homeland Security.

You're welcome to your opinion. My post was factual, trying to correct the narrative that unidentified feds (they're all identified) are descending upon cities (they were lawfully redeployed) to arrest people indiscriminately (they're lawfully protecting federal buildings and property from Peaceful Protesters throwing frozen water bottles, fireworks, paint, rocks, and any other peaceful thing).

I said previously that if you are not breaking the law, you have nothing to fear - while it was in terms of unmarked police cars, it goes for being destroying property after curfew as well.

I do not believe that it is the federal government's responsibility to police these people, and that it is local authorities that should be doing this. I also stated that I disagreed with the lack of consistency of policies of this administration when it comes to state powers vs federal powers. Keep them at the border trying to keep out the illegal aliens, that is where they should be.

Maybe to vote. Maybe for a clear conscience. Maybe because he was arrested and charged for process crimes during an investigation that never should have even happened because all the people who started the investigation knew there was nothing there but did it anyways. Gotta be one or more of those.

Lmao. You do know the guy is a huge scumbag, right? Regardless of the crimes he committed (And they absolutely were crimes)

When watching the playoffs that begin soon, will you watch as impartial hockey fans, or will you pick a team to root for to make a Cup run? For those who temporarily adopt a team to cheer for, which team will you be rooting for this summer?

Opinions vary, but something has to be done. Outright lawless behavior must be dealt with.

Not a Roger Stone fan by any means. I'd say the guy is a complete jack-arse, actually. But in the gallery of rogues that is the list of people pardoned by American presidents...Roger freaking Stone doesn't even make the top 100. Your arguments are bereft of anything resembling context and perspective. That is your problem.

Phew. I'm glad none of the 8000 or so people Obama pardoned weren't scumbags. That FALN leader was a good guy.

I did say though that as a tax payer and part owner of the federal property, that I was ok with burning down federal buildings, which was inaccurate. However, I would like to see at least one Republican President that says they are going to make government smaller actually do that.

Back to sports for a second, its really a shame that the Bills are supposed to have a great team this year and may end up not even playing. Or playing without fans.

It doesnt make it any less wrong though, you'd have to agree with that. By naming all the other scumbags that have been pardoned, is not justifying the actual action.

Regardless, I want to see the Blackhawks win the cup one last time.

They're trying to barricade the doors, then start the building on fire with people in it. I'm not ok with that.

I think that baseball might be the only sport that could actually pull this off (of the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB).
