Talk:Left-wing violence in the Trump era (2020)

Gateway Pundit Link and claim of Police Reoccupation

• Hey fellas, I cannot find a single news source (left, right or otherwise) that confirms this statement in the article:

] and Seattle police took back control of the Capitol Hill precinct they had previously been forced to vacate.[158] Aside from the Gateway Pundit article, which may not be true. The latest I've heard is that the protestors are still occupying the vicinity. AlexG19 (talk) 00:44, 13 June 2020 (EDT)

So are you saying that the Gateway Pundit article is wrong? They have a far better reputation for journalistic honesty than any of the liberal media nowadays, so I'm guessing that your claim is being motivated by an unwillingness to take a look at the facts in the case.

The mayor visited the building today (with a police escort presumably). That may be the reference. RobS^{Live Free or Die} 01:59, 13 June 2020 (EDT)

I agree with Northwest about the reliability of the Gateway Pundit; while it's obviously a very conservative, right-wing website, it's still more reliable than the fake news lamestream media that pretend to be "neutral". —Liberaltears^{May Dataclarifier be well!} 02:05, 13 June 2020 (EDT)

It says they returned to the precinct, not necessarily to the building. That means they are actually responding to 911 calls for violence and rape, which is up 300% since the peaceful protesters took over. RobS^{Live Free or Die} 02:28, 13 June 2020 (EDT)

• Tucker Carlson interview with Patriot Muster organizer John ‘Tig’ Tiegen - Matthew Dolloff, Black Guns Matter (BGM) provocateur Jeremiah Elliott, and NBC affiliate producer Zak Newman colluded shortly before shooting.

Newman is a known Antifa supporter. Both the Colorado Democrat party and the Denver Communist Party advertised the BLM/Antifa counterprotest. Black Guns Matter (BGM) provocateur Jeremiah Elliott was involved in the February brawl at a Bernie Sanders event. Denver NBC affiliate has some previous connections with BLM/Antifa terror squads.

To summarize what is known so far colloquially - BGM provocateur Jeremiah Elliott has been followed closely by the Denver Post and the NBC affiliate. Eyewitness evidence exists of BGM provocateur Jeremiah Elliott colluding with both the shooter and the NBC affiliate producer. The NBC affilate hired an armed Antifa goon.

Punk is slang for a young troublemaker. I believe rioter would be the more correct term, but as someone relatively inexperienced with this site, I'd like to check on the talk page before making sweeping changes.--LawfulLibertarian (talk) 19:09, 8 December 2020 (EST)

They're most often both, so either one can be used interchangeably or both can be used to describe them. Northwest (talk) 19:17, 8 December 2020 (EST)

You're mostly right, but I think this is a "rectangles aren't always squares" thing. As long as the meaning is conveyed, I reckon that's what counts.--LawfulLibertarian (talk) 19:22, 8 December 2020 (EST)

Vice President of Dominion Election Systems Eric Coomer is a nuclear scientist engineer and member of Antifa. So there are white collar Antifa, as well. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 20:04, 8 December 2020 (EST)
