That's typical of democrats.
You think I'm a Democrat. Funny.

They support violence when it suits their political goals.
I don't support it; I'm just "meh" about it.

Lashing out against people in power who are in the business of misleading and harming others seems like "punching up" to me. Vandalism is bad, yadda yadda, but it's not like throwing a brick through the window of a "crisis pregnancy centre" is oppressing a vulnerable group the way, say, throwing one through a youth centre for trans teens would be.

It's not good that it happened, but there are uncountably many things in the world that are worse.

This is what you call those willing to help others in need.

Sad world.

Those willing to help others in need are in the Planned Parenthood clinics. The people you're defending are vultures who prey on the vulnerable in their time of need.

I'm a leftist, I never support violence to attain my political ends (except maybe in some dire, hypothetical circumstances).

After reading the article though, I couldn't find a single instance of a person being harmed. I suppose someone could have been potentially harmed in the firebombing, and that is cause for concern. But when 9/10 says it's hard for him to get worked up, I don't interpret that as condoning violence.

Also, the article twists the words of Lori Lightfoot. "To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms." There is no genuine context of this statement that reveals that "call to arms" is more than a metaphor. It is dishonest the way it is presented by the article's author as a string of comments meant to incite violence. Baloney!

Try not to let Breitbart manipulate you.

He did not support violence. I don't like it either, but it is understandable. I do not think that it helps the cause.
How is it understandable that organizations that are helping women and their babies are being vandalized? How does this even make sense? They are actually hurting women that may make the choice to have their baby? Are you pro choice or pro abortion? Seems like some of prochoice people (I am not saying you) don't like it when women make the choice to have their baby.

It's also typical of Republicans, A.K.A. Trump supporters. The truth is, Republicans support violence when it suits their political goals, like attempting to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden as the newly elected president by storming the U.S. Capitol and chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" Even Trump suggested that he supported the chant to hang Mike Pence (Trump defends Jan. 6 rioters' 'hang Mike Pence' chant in new audio). Honestly, it's very hypocritical of you or any other anti-liberal Republican to assert that Democrats are the only ones who support violence when it suits their political goals. At least be honest in your thread and admit that it goes both ways.

They are not helping women. They are victimizing them.

I googled a few of the clinics on the list to see if I could corroborate what Breitbart was saying.

The ones I checked all had things happen recently, but it was all stuff like spray paint and a couple of broken windows.

Like I said: meh.

The people running these "clinics" deserve a bit of wrath. I suppose they shouldn't have crimes committed against them, but the difference is a matter of degree. It's not like they were targetting innocent people for something completely undeserved.

Edit: if we imagine a "wrath" scale going from 0 to 10 with 5 being as much as the law allows, these clinics got a 6 when they should have got a 4. This is hardly the biggest injustice in the world.
