Ashamed of the way fellow Christians are dismissed and mocked with quotations here after being assaulted with tear gas (or was it only smoke? Then it’s fine, right?" Especially their clergy.

Would it be better if it was only smoke canisters? It happened. Don’t defend the indefensible. Take a look at what the Catholic Bishop said about his photo op in front of the shrine and tell me this was all just ok and normal.
 
If all people can focus on whether or nor tear gas was used or smoke grenades, or flash bombs, and questioning the veracity on whomever (esp.because of the witnesses was a woman.) reported as tear gas or not, then that is a huge part of the problem. Of course, it’s always ideal to ask the cops or the military what they lobbed at you so that you won’t upset them later if you got it wrong) and of course, law enforcement is always truthful, right? : “Oh, excuse me sir, my eyes are burning, could you please specify if you lobbed a tear gas canister, a smoke grenade, or a flash bomb at me so that I can be 100% accurate as I cry out in agony? If my eyes are tearing and burning, then I’ll especially be mindful to ask you the specifics. Thank you very much, sir!” Cops or the military police wouldn’t lie, then cover for anyone, would they? Nahhhhh! People are missing the big picture.

No it’s not fine. But it’s so often only a small fraction of the truth, an out of context piece of a much greater whole element that completely butchers the meaning. If one is after truth it can be incredibly difficult to find in the current climate.

In this case there is nothing difficult to find about the truth. The problem is that you’re worried it might upset you or your world view. It should upset any decent person. Life is like this.
 
Sorry friend but we have a highly political event engaged by both parties with media attention that is extremely partisan on both sides at nearly all times.
… yeah I have some questions.

And especially when they doubt and criticize a person because of their gender. That tells us everything.

Interesting when the President makes a “highly political event” out of a visit to an Episcopal Church and Catholic Religious shrine. May I ask how you feel about Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory’s comments regarding Trump’s visit to the shrine to show off a bible? You should have some questions- and I’m interested who you target for questioning first.
 
Oh cool, they only hit the Episcopal clergy with smoke bombs and not tear gas. USA! USA! USA!
 
No one said anything about the media, bridgeman. But since you brought it up, you are absolutely correct! I watched State TV, I mean Fox, a little each day and everytime reeks of lies, disinformation, and propaganda. I don’t accuse them of racism, but because accusing someone or an entity of racism is wrong. It does cause me to wonder why on State TV that all one sees and hears are all about the rioting and looting (and only showing when a certain race, and not the other), and hardly anything about the peaceful protests and why they are protesting. And labeling everyone who agitates, riots, loots, and protests as ‘thugs’ (in which they only show largely darker skinned people rioting or looting. Fox never labels caucasians as ‘thugs’, so there’s an agenda there) or as only the supposedly ubiquitous “antifa” (anyone who is anti-fascist and anti-Trump is ‘antifa’ according to him. By his declaring ‘antifa’ a ‘terrorist’ organization, then he’s admitting that he’s a fascist. I’m anti fascist and anti-Nazi, so am “I” a terrorist? Nazi Germany declared those who resisted it as ‘terrorists’, too) while not even mentioning organizations white supremacist groups, white nationalists, boogaloo boys, the KKK neo-Nazis, etc., that are doing it and proud that they’re doing it to incite a race war, then their agends is clear. If you don’t acknowledge it, then it doesn’t exist, just like COVID-19.

Cool. So which is better- tear gas or smoke bombs? Which would you prefer your bishop endure?
 
They’re rather selective, you see. Tear gas is reserved for the Mormons, pepper spray for the Assemblies of God, flash bombs for the Methodists, rubber bullets for the Lutherans ( “Everyone blames the Lutherans” Grand Torino), and for really special missions, when the foe is particularly battle-hardened and bloody viscous, when no other weapon works, like for killer rabbits, then “The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch” (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) is used. But the best weapon of all to use is the relentless and viscous taunting of the French Knights: “Go away, or I shall taunt you for the second time!”
