    That "lost in the noise" phrase is right on.

    See there you go with that brand of manipulative witchcraft again hoping that your lies will catch the ear of the mods. Save it for a rainy day.

    :sleep: A repeat of the tripe-isms of slavery and Jim Crow. Doesn't change your unGodliness into anything else.

    This kind of innuendo is grounds for being banned. Questioning anothers relationship with Jesus (calling them witches and accusing them of witchcraft) is against rules; aas noted below!

    4. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. The board has an edit button enabled. We encourage you to use it and edit your own words. Moderators and Administrators will be visibly proactive in dealing with potentially offensive situations. Posts of a violent or threatening nature, either implicitly or explicitly, will be deleted, and the poster's membership revoked. We encourage personal problems with other members be resolved privately via email or personal messaging.

    3. Show grace to the other posters. When someone disagrees with you, discuss it; but be slow to offend, and eager to get into the Word and find the answers. Remember, when discussing passionate issues, it is easy to go too far and offend. Further, if we are "earnestly contending for the faith" it would be unrealistic not to expect at times to be misunderstood or even ridiculed. But please note that your words can sometimes be harsh if used in the wrong way. The anger of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

    5. No trolling. Trolling consists of provoking large volumes of responses by posting absurdities, deliberately offensive insults, etc.

    It is either time to reign in the words of this member, or take punitive action! Us fat, old white prejudice members are growing tired of the personal attacks!

    Selah!

    Yes Indeed. The same type folks didn't like Jesus calling them out so they had to get rid of Him.
    The same type folks didn't like MLK Jr calling them out so they had to get rid of Him.
    Lo and behold, those folks don't like me calling them out so they conspire to get rid of me. :laugh:

    Manipulative witchcraft at it's best rooted in white privilege that thinks it can insult without consequence.

    The point of this thread is the mayor's words. Zaac has not changed what she said.

    I understand the National Guard is coming in tomorrow. Are they going to bring their firearms, and if so are they going to be cowards to use them?

    This may have been addressed. I skipped over the many pages of senseless bickering and name calling and am simply posting to the OP, so I may have missed someone saying something like I'm about to.



    But those words read to me totally different than you're portraying them. I am hearing (paraphrase) "We gave the peaceful protesters space. Unfortunately, those who wished to destroy took advantage of that space. It is hard to balance stopping the rioters without infringing on the rights of the peaceful."



    Basically, she's saying that she would have to go to an extreme such as martial law, violating everyone's rights, in order to stop the rioting.
