    As relevant now as the day it was written by the incomparable Jimmy Cliff

    The Harder They Come

    Oh yeah, oh yeah
    Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
    Waiting for me when I die
    But between the day you're born and when you die
    They never seem to hear even your cry
    So as sure as the sun will shine
    I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
    And then the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, one and all
    Ooh the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, one and all
    Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
    Trying to drive me underground
    And they think that they have got the battle won
    I say forgive them Lord
    They know not what they've done
    'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
    I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
    And then the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, one and all
    Ooh the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, one and all
    Ooh, yeah, oh yeah, woah yeah ooh
    And I keep on fighting for the things I want
    Though I know that when you're dead you can't
    But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
    Than living as a puppet or a slave
    So as sure as the sun will shine
    I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
    And then the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, one and all
    Ooh the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, one and all
    Yeah, the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall one and all
    What I say now what I say now, ooh
    What I say now what I say
    One time, the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall
    Wanna know
    Ooh the harder they come
    The harder they'll fall, wanna know

    America is “staring down the barrel of martial law” as it approaches the presidential election, a US senator from Oregon has warned as Donald Trump cracks down on protests in Portland, the state’s biggest city.

    I’m not really sure what exactly you’re mocking. Lives were lost in CHOP, property was destroyed, small businesses suffered, people were assaulted, people were scared. Anyone held accountable for all that? 

    And where do you live? You guys live around these protests? Chicago?

    There’s a thread title I’m mocking. Do you think snatch and grab shock troops are going to restore law and order? You’re okay with that? How many black lives have been and need to be lost before people wake up? Last I checked there are a number of people being charged with felonies. Scared? Like that Missouri couple scared? You know who was scared? George Floyd. You know who else is scared everyday? Black people going about their everyday lives.

    I live in a diverse city in a diverse neighborhood where white kids are a minority in the college bound high school and where 99% of graduates go to college. Our local and state government is responsive to the minority communities needs. My city elected a gay mayor and Hispanic mayors. We have reasonable gun control laws and accountable law enforcement and criminal justice. Is it perfect? No but it’s a hell of a lot better than some of these other places in the US.

    I wonder what the crime rate was in Seattle in the chop zone month to month year over year, comparatively? People are shot to death everyday in ‘Murica, why during a protest or within CHOP is any different? Is Chicago going to fall next?

Our local and state government is responsive to the minority communities needs. My city elected a gay mayor and Hispanic mayors. We have reasonable gun control laws and accountable law enforcement and criminal justice. Is it perfect? No but it’s a hell of a lot better than some of these other places in the US.

    I wonder what the crime rate was in Seattle in the chop zone month to month year over year, comparatively? People are shot to death everyday in ‘Murica, why during a protest or within CHOP is any different? Is Chicago going to fall next?
    You’re just the best, aren’t you?
    Never claimed to be but I’m trying like Melania says. How about you?

    And a nice response to my questions, by the way. Way to go personal too.
    Is Chicago next to fall? I don’t know. Looks like it’s already fallen. I wouldn’t want to live there. Way to go personal? By calling you the best? Whatever man. No point “conversing” with you.

    Wow! That’s a lot of ANTIFA. And thugs. And radical libs.

    It's just total anarchy.
    Soon to fall, much like Seattle.
    I’m not really sure what exactly you’re mocking. Lives were lost in CHOP, property was destroyed, small businesses suffered, people were assaulted, people were scared. Anyone held accountable for all that? 

    And where do you live? You guys live around these protests? Chicago? 
    There’s a thread title I’m mocking. Do you think snatch and grab shock troops are going to restore law and order? You’re okay with that? How many black lives have been and need to be lost before people wake up? Last I checked there are a number of people being charged with felonies. Scared? Like that Missouri couple scared? You know who was scared? George Floyd. You know who else is scared everyday? Black people going about their everyday lives.

    Haha. Thanks. We’re good. We butt heads but I’ve learned when we’re at a dead end to just respectfully disagree and move on.
