Apparently, he did not. Since he never attacked anyone, it is dishonest to portray him as violent.


Oh bullshit.

If I take a baseball bat to a car you own and beat the shit out of it, are you going to not consider me violent? Because it would be the height of stupidity not to...

This does not change the fact that most asylum claims are not fraudulent. The vast majority of people are fleeing violent persecution, bt your government has made itself loopholes so it can deny these people.


If someone from Honduras is standing at our southern border requesting asylum, he's already successfully escaped the persecution in his home country. There's no reason to give him asylum here.

I applaud the President's efforts to amend our asylum laws so that they serve US more than those who would abuse those laws...

Either way, it is still your government that is failing to do the right thing.


The "right thing" is, first and foremost, what's right for the United States. Period.

Trump has been continually changing asylum laws to make them more restrictive.


EXCELLENT!

And Trump is deliberately changing laws to make it harder for asylum seekers, and he is doing it to get support from his racist supporters.


Stupidly calling Trump's supporters "racist" simply demonstrates that you have no valid arguments or points of intelligence to offer. He's not doing it to get support from anyone. He's doing it because it makes sense and is best for the United States.

Anyone who doesn't like it can piss off...

So you also have no evidence that he attacked anyone.

No one cares what you think. Unless you can provide a logical or empirical argument to support your feelings, this is irrelevant.

Many Trump supporters are racist. The evidence has already been presented in this thread.

You have no evidence that he didn't.

That's how you libs approach debates, right?

You're intentionally dodging my point. You said "Since he never attacked anyone, it is dishonest to portray him as violent."

My point is that a person doesn't have to attack someone to be violent. Believing otherwise is stupid...

No one cares what you think. Unless you can provide a logical or empirical argument to support your feelings, this is irrelevant.


These are not my "feelings". This is something that most non-thinking libs don't comprehend. It's a thing called "simple logic". If someone from Honduras is standing at the Mexican border, he's already fled whatever it was in Honduras that compelled him to leave...

"Evidence"?

"Nonsense" is more like it.

You've provided exactly nothing...
#15019405
BigSteve wrote:You have no evidence that he didn't.


Actually, we do.

The evidence we have all indicates he attacked buildings and cars only.

If someone from Honduras is standing at the Mexican border, he's already fled whatever it was in Honduras that compelled him to leave...


Not if that person is fleeing gang violence committed by cartels trying to control smuggling routes into the USA. That violence is also in Mexico.

The rest of your post was your usual feelings. I ignored it.

So, do you believe that a person can only be considered violent if he attacks another person?

Fine. Let them demonstrate that to be the case.

If we required that, the number of asylum requests would, I believe, plummet...

More accurately, it contained things which you're ill-prepared to address, so you dodged it...

I am addressing how others on your side have described him.

He has been described as a murderer, for example. You really should read the thread.

That bit of writing seems to make no sense.

I asked you a very simple question, one which, apparently, is beyond your ability to offer an intelligent response.

Let's try it again: Do you believe that a person can only be accurately characterized as violent if that person attacks another person?

Um sure?

That bit of writing seems to make no sense.


Sure it does, at least to people who don't want to be thick.

If someone is claiming that they're fleeing cartel violence, great. Let them prove that.

Why is that a problem?

I see why your comment seemed to make no sense.

First if all, this is already the case, so when you hope it becomes reality, you are incorrectly wishing for something that is already true.

Secondly, this does not contradict my point that the asylum seekers have not arrived at a location where they are safe and need to continue to the USA.

Why are you so afraid to answer my question? I never referred to him as a murderer, so I don't really feel inclined to address that; ask someone who thinks he's a murderer. You'll probably stand a better chance of getting an answer from someone who thinks he's a murderer than from someone who doesn't.

You, on the other hand, have said it's unfair to call him violent since he didn't attack anyone.

For the third time, do you believe that a person can only be considered violent after he has attacked another person?

Pants-of-dog wrote:Please see the link I already referenced. Thank you.

The point is that the government should never have been solely responsible for the children. And it is logical to assume that the children would have received medical care sooner if they had been allowed to apply for asylum in a humane manner.

I note the switch from your accusations that people who work in detention centres deliberately kill or let children die to a complaint that the government is expecting them to implement existing law. It still looks like you are not prepared to support the former accusations in any way.

It's not logical to assume that the children would have received medical care sooner, but if we go by that logic adults who take children on a dangerous and arduous journey, where medical facilities are not always easily accessible, should also be accused of "killing the children" if a child dies. In fact, taking this argument to its asinine conclusion, nobody would be allowed to take their kids out to places where it may be hard to quickly come by medical treatment without being charged with murder or manslaughter.

Like in the movies. :lol:

The guy was clearly prepared to injure or kill people, and actually could have killed the very people he wanted to save according to you. That is, if there were unaccompanied minors at the facility which has apparently been the denied by the company who runs it.

I think you got confused about my original argument. I always argued that the person was rational in his attack because he (correctly) believed that children were being taken from their parents and were dying in the custody of US government forces who may or may not be responsible for their deaths.

I have explained this several times, including to you. I am now done repeating it.

If they had been allowed to apply for asylum at a point of entry, and there were no waiting lists or metering policy, the children would have received medical attention right away.

But since asylum seekers are no longer allowed to do so, the parents are forced to risk the lives of their children, all so some ideologues can pat themselves on the back for being racist.

So we agree that he could have freed families without ever shooting anyone.

It's not confusion on my part to note that you switch between different accusations when it suits you. Here's one of your earlier claims from my exchange with you.
Pants-of-dog wrote:Because ICE is killing children or allowing them to die, either intentionally or through family separation and neglect.

Speculation, and still

People are allowed to apply for asylum.

Pants-of-dog wrote:So we agree that he could have freed families without ever shooting anyone.

So we agree he was prepared to use violence against people or risk their lives, including potentially those who you argue he wanted to "save" (if they were actually there).

Dodges like yours are pathetic.

You know for a fact the man was violent. You just don't possess the level of character which you'd need to exhibit a degree of honesty.

The man was violent and I'm glad the police stopped him...

#15019770
Kaiserschmarrn wrote:People are allowed to apply for asylum.


No. People who arrive at a legal point of entry and wish to apply for asylum cannot currently do so.

Instead, they can get on a waiting list and expect to wait 4 months while presumably living on the streets in Mexico.

So we agree he was prepared to use violence against people or risk their lives, including potentially those who you argue he wanted to "save" (if they were actually there).


Since you and the other people who claimed he was murderous or violent towards people have yet to provide evidence that he attacked anyone or had serious intention to do so, I have no idea why anyone would agree to that claim.

@BigSteve

As opposed to American and Israeli soldiers bombing Syria or policemen killing unarmed innocent black people or ICE officers raping children?

There is nothing injust about saving children from concentration camps. The institution of the state is inherently violent. Shying away from using violence to defend yourself and your fellow man is cowardly.

You clearly have focus issues.

Sure, instances of cops killing black people certainly occur. If we believed the idiots on the left in this country, we would believe they are the rule as opposed to being the exception...

Concentration camp survivors call them concentration camps. Jewish historians call them concentration camps.

If you have an issue with me you have an issue with them.

Compare the number of black people who interact with police and get killed by them to the number of black people who interact with police and don't get killed by them.

It's the height of ignorance and stupidity to call it the norm. I challenge you to provide the statistics to prove your argument...

Okay, then I have an issue with them. I have issues with anyone who calls them concentration camps, because they're not concentration camps...
