Disgusting and disgraceful that govts on all levels do nothing to stop the destruction.

Why do we the people continue to allow that to be the case?

If you watch the videos carefully, you can see the "Agent Provocateurs" doing the majority of the damage. While the protests were going on, on just one occasion, I could see a white guy, holding an umbrella (it was not raining) as a screen, walking down a street in the early evening swinging a sledge hammer breaking all the windows of the stores as he went. If you also notice, following the initial disturbances, the vast majority of the protests all over the country (much less the world) were peaceful and not only peaceful, but as they continued, they grew in size to hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of "peaceful" demonstrators. Which, by the way, is their right as protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution;
#3 "...the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech."
and
#5 "...the right of the people peaceably assemble."

P.S. As I watched George Floyd's brother testify before Congress yesterday, I could not help but be effected. The man just buried his brother and how he managed to be so eloquent in his plea to the Representatives was truly inspiring. It is time to stop denying African American people their humanity.

You think that wasn’t planned! Think again!

Called VOTES

Looter support
 

Wonder how long your support for looters and vandals would hold up if they were in YOUR front yard and banging on your door???

This is Fake News, Americans can't trust anything Dr. Birx says, for Christ sake she agreed that drinking bleach and pumping bright light inside the body somehow may help fight the Coronavirus.

Are you upset that protesters and rioters are being lumped together ? So 1 police Officer acts improper and 800,000 are considered racists. That doesn’t reek too strong if hypocracy.

FYI, nationally blacks make up 12.2% of law enforcement and are 13% of the population. That’s a pretty close reflection if society.

No one disagrees that Chauvin was wrong and should go to jail but to say he represents all cops even though they denounce him is pretty ignorant.

national review hoax
 

National review is a propaganda site.
Fake news

Terrorism
 

There is no single, universally accepted, definition of terrorism. Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

Here are a few examples of non-Muslim terrorists:

April 6, 2005, sentencing of Matthew Hale, leader of the white supremacist Creativity Movement, to 40 years in prison for solicitation of violence and obstruction of justice; August 30, 2005, sentencing of white supremacist Sean Michael Gillespie to 39 years for the synagogue firebombing in Oklahoma City; and who can forget Timothy McVeigh? 168 dead, 680 injured. Closer to home: On August 22, 2002, police in Pinellas County, Florida, responded to a domestic dispute detained Robert J. Goldstein after finding numerous weapons and explosives and a “mission statement” threatening to attack Islamic facilities in the United States.

Ali Gomaa, former Grand Mufti of Egypt, stated not only for Islam but in general: "Terrorism cannot be born of religion. Terrorism is the product of corrupt minds, hardened hearts, and arrogant egos, and corruption, destruction, and arrogance are unknown to the heart attached to the divine."

The next "protests" will occur in the affluent neighborhoods. Some will be ready and able to defend their communities. Others will not. Which one are you?

Sad that violent and looting infiltrators ruined peaceful demonstrators image.

Any discussion becomes confusing as folks continue to use protestors and rioters/looters as one and the same.
They are not.

Protestors do not riot and loot.
Those who riot and loot do not protest. They could care less. They are activists/thugs bent on destruction.

Why there is not more aggressive measure taken against the rioters/looters remains a mystery......and the major cause of the problems.

Obviously burn baby burn is more newsworthy than peaceful protesting.

Pretty sure Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Robert Rudolph, Wade Michael Page, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dylann Roof, James Thomas Hodgkinson, James Alex Fields, Robert Bowers, and Patrick Crusius are not Muslim.

So this time by "Protests" you mean white nationalists marching thru affluent neighborhoods carrying their assault rifles to create fear, I for one will be prepared to defend my community from that ever happening.
