No but you sure must love that statue to stand shoulder to shoulder with nazis chanting the Jews will not replace us.

While I agree with you borndead, I saw that same reference to a "German saying" and did a little digging... I haven't seen any indication it's really a German saying of any sort.

(That said, if you're knowingly having dinner with a Nazi... I consider you to be a Nazi as well).

Let’s say you find yourself in a public protest with a group of others. One of them is a rapist. By your definition, you are all rapists. Brilliant

My granpappy had an old German saying that he would utter quite often -
Scheiß drauf

If it was a whole bunch of rapists chanting rapey stuff I’d prolly go home instead of hanging with them. No statue I’ve ever seen is worth that.

What if the rapists showed up and started with their "your butts are ours" chants and a bunch of you were like ya, no, that's not what this is about and they were like ya, no, ya we're staying anyway and doing the rapey chanty thing... You gonna bend over for the rapists?

I’m gonna leave or confront them. It probably wouldn’t have been hard to predict their presence anyway since the advertised it, showed up early and it was reported. Also they started the night before. I’d prolly just not join them.

I’m not just gonna hang with them and lament a statue.

I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.

Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.

The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.

I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.

I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.

Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.

We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.

We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.

I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

Human Family by Maya Angelou

or a perpetrator of the myth of some fine people in the group of rapists

Dude, settle down... It's a political discussion... No need to get all heated and throw the g-word lover around like we all hate each other...

there are some fine Gurkhas.

I don't know any, but there must be.

Two Republican senators have introduced a nonbinding resolution that would label antifascists — known as antifa — as “domestic terrorists,” doubling down against radical activists who have drawn criticism from conservatives and President Trump.

“Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by Liberal privilege,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said in a statement. “Bullies get their way until someone says no. Elected officials must have courage, not cowardice, to prevent terror.”

ICE detention-center attacker killed by police was an avowed anarchist, authorities say

Hina Shamsi, director of the national security project at the American Civil Liberties Union, told The Washington Post that she opposes labeling groups as domestic terrorists.

“It is dangerous and overly broad to use labels that are disconnected [from] actual individual conduct,” she said. “And as we’ve seen how ‘terrorism’ has been used already in this country, any such scheme raises significant due process, equal protection and First Amendment constitutional concerns.”

The resolution, which also is sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), would not change U.S. law. It cites antifa activists occupying the road outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and “doxing” ICE officials by posting their personal information online. The senators also pointed to conservative journalist Andy Ngo, who in June was left bloodied by antifa activists in Portland, Ore.

Conservatives have said antifa activists are a dangerous force. On Wednesday, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) sent a letter to Attorney General William P. Barr, asking him to designate antifa activists as domestic terrorists and denounce the attack on Ngo.
