The Episcopal church has priests, you know. The priest says the crowd was peaceful.

Was it peaceful when 50 Secret Service agents were injured just days before if this place is near the White House? Anyway, none of this crowd were injured to begin with.

Based on the report, these people were far from peaceful.

I just saw the BBC is reporting on this tear gas. The Park Service says they didn’t do it… so, yes, we quite possibly have misinformation flowing around.

Who said there was teargas? The peaceful protesters?

That is nonsensical. This crowd should be moved by force because some other people were violent days before? Is that seriously your position?

“The Rev. Gini Gerbasi said in a Facebook post that she, along with the church’s seminarian, were forcibly removed from the patio less than an hour before Trump arrived to take pictures in front of St. John’s while holding a Bible. The patio clearing coincided with the use of tear gas to empty Lafayette Square outside of the White House to allow the president to travel on foot to the church.”

What report?

Everything I’ve read seen says this was one of the most peaceful days yet.

The report provided by the park police.
These people were throwing water bottles at the police. The police then dispersed them.

As serious as can be.

Is it seriously your position that men providing security should not be mentioned? One hit in the head with a brick? Well, I don’t call that being compassionate.

Anyway, I am saying for the 4th time, I was near Obama’s motorcade, everyone was cleared out.

Were the protesters hurt? Doesn’t sound like it.

That is not what the clergy involved say. They were moved off of the Church’s property so that the President could use it. What would you call that?

Protocol, normal operating procedure.

Were you cleared out with flash bangs and rubber bullets? I have also had to get out of the way of the President - I don’t recall force being employed. My understanding is that there were several injuries in the crowd, as usually happens when rubber bullets are used.

Moreover, you are literally saying that it is OK to use force against one person because another person did something wrong. The fact that there was a violent crowd at the White House a few days before has nothing to do with what they did to the peaceful gathering there yesterday.
 
My logic was beginning to falter… Thanks for helping me focus on an obvious fact… 🙂
It’s like that story when President Trump visited GB and kept the Queen WAITING…
I get so tired of half truths. Half truths = a LIE…

Oh. I didn’t realize you were being extremely literal. Yes, they were forcibly removed from the front patio of their own church. You are correct.
 
This whole thing is more of the Russian Hoax type of thing, Russian hoax didn’t work, Ukraine farce didn’t work, this is one more tactic to undermine our government by someone, I don’t know but we really need to vote out every Democrat.

Well, it sounds like the crowd did not disperse. I do believe this is a society based on law and order.

It’s pretty amazing, someone dismisses the injuries of 50 Secret Service Agents, guarding the WH in the nearby vicinity, absolutely amazing. Only days before.

Yes, don’t believe the clergy of the church involved. Don’t believe the Catholic Archbishop of DC. Don’t believe your own eyes when you see the footage. Just believe the Trump. It is only His Word that is to be trusted.

The wrong words used in the wrong way cause misunderstanding that can hurt people.
The statement that these people were thrown out of their church was inaccurate.

This is a highly emotional topic. Inaccurate statements can easily inflame emotions that do not need to be.
