I didn’t think several months of riots in Portland, Kenosha, Atlanta, Washington D.C. and other cities had been debunked by such esteemed fact-checkers as snopes.
There have been a number of people arrested for arson with regard to brush fires. Google turned up this for me https://nypost.com/2020/09/20/six-accused-of-starting-oregon-blazes-amid-wildfire-season/amp/ https://nypost.com/2020/09/20/six-accused-of-starting-oregon...
I think it would be premature to conclusively say what the motive of every case of the wanton destruction of our forests may be. However, I’m very impressed that the oracles at snopes were able to divine the motives of these actors prior to arrests, trials or even public statements. I bet they clean up at the lottery!
- bryanlarsen 6y agoYou just posted a link that does a lot to disprove your allegation of organized fire starting.
- sk2020 6y agoRiots and vandalism in Portland weren’t organized? That’s a strange conclusion for a story (one of several) about men arrested for setting fire to forests. Given there has been no trials for the people arrested in the story, I don’t know where this proof is you’re talking about which refutes whatever point you’re saying I have.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoOrganized protests? Yes. Premeditated vandalism, no. I'm not going to try do the impossible and prove a negative when you're the one that made the initial allegation I'm still looking for substantiation for.
- sk2020 6y agoBut you just stated confidently that there were no instances of premeditated vandalism in the United States over several months and hundreds of incidents, many of which have pending investigations. Did you prove that negative or is it impossible?
