Freedom to protest brother. The idea there is a 'right way' to protest is comical. They don't need your validation to do it right or wrong ROFL.

Not to mention that plenty of rioting started only after police escalated with violence.

I'll repeat the adage once again from earlier in this thread: You reap what you sow.



Remember those words.

These riots are about a lot more than the police killing another black man. It lit a powderkeg. People are all getting fired, losing their capitalist healthcare during a pandemic, stuck in their homes while our leaders are cashing in on this, not getting their unemployment benefits, not getting their games and festivals and summer rituals, kids didn't get to graduate this year peoples' savings are drying up....


So what? We can't solve joblessness in a pandemic, but aspects of police behaviour can be solved.

You can blame Trump or capitalism for a lot of things, but coronavirus and the resulting impact on people's livelihoods is not one of them.

The only violence I endorse is self defence. Looting shops is wrong, end of story.

I didn't endorse anything. I'm describing something i see. I don't want people to riot or be strangled in a crowd while begging for help.

We talk about the murder of Kitty Genovese still as the example of diffusion of responsibility but we have all these more recent and better examples.

Right to assembly and protest is among core American values, enshrined and protected by the constitution. Corporations are already empowered by their capital and property to have free speech, which the system protects. When I see protesters burning property and attacking capital, seems the dual of what our gov is doing with corps? Capital and property enabling speech rights.....

Anyways, my main issue is there are peaceful protestors mixed in with all these radiaL agitators. These protestors have 100% constitutional rights to be there. It's not there job to sort bad from good, that is the justice systems job.



Last time bro. It's illegal to loot and burn... no matter WHAT else is going on. Even the military has vicious laws against looting, even if you're NOT in the US.

There are many ways to make yourself heard in this country and NONE of them allow looting and burning. People that resort to that are just un-fucking-civilized, and they are breaking the law.

No... they just aren't listening to the cops, when they say move on.

/e Especially, if they are between the cops and the rioters.

Well, this is technically wrong. You CAN blame Trump for coronavirus. Many democrats do all the time. Its just moronic.

Agreed, and I've got some news for you:

"How to tell the difference between left and right in one question. "Are rioting and looting wrong?" One side will say yes. The other will give you a speech. Works every time."
