I'm not looking for a complicated mitigation of the actions of rioters. Do you support the rioting?

EDIT: I am not asking if you support protesting. That is not the same as rioting.

Just to be clear. You aren't asking if we support the protests or not, you are asking if we support the violence that is mixed in with the protests?
 
If yes do you think it will accomplish anything? Are there other more useful ways to use that energy?

The burning, looting and violence.

I support getting rid of Trump. We warned you all this would happen.

Ferguson and Baltimore just called and issued the following joint statement: "LOL".
 
No.

Random destruction, assaults, battery, theft, and any other violent reaction serves no useful purpose.

On the contrary, it damages one's own community in ways that take a long time, if ever, to repair. Meanwhile that community still has to deal day-to-day with the long-term negative outcomes.

The only ones who profit from this kind of reaction are those who used it to rob, and get the thrill of anarchic destruction.

Oh yeah, and the progressive ideologues who can use it for propaganda purposes pushing their divisive grievance politics.

I support peaceful protests, sit-in's, drum circles, chanting, speaking through bull horns, demonstrating, boycotting, raising awareness, etc.

Violence ends the discussion.

What a dumbass remark.Trump has nothing to do with this.It's because of the liberal vermin and their filthy rhetoric and life styles.

you need to learn to make the polls non-anonymous. I'd love to know who actually supports lawless violence and wanton destruction of innocent folks' property

Protesting is fine. Looting and arson and mayhem are both serious crimes.

Barr made an interesting comment today:

What they're saying: Barr said that "outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda" and that "in many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized and driven by anarchic and left extremist groups, far-left extremist groups, using antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from outside the state to promote the violence."

"It is a federal crime to cross state lines or to use interstate facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting, and we will enforce those laws," Barr said.
"80% of the RIOTERS in Minneapolis last night were from OUT OF STATE," Trump tweeted after Barr's press conference. "They are harming businesses (especially African American small businesses), homes, and the community of good, hardworking Minneapolis residents who want peace, equality, and to provide for their families."

So he may be taking Antifa and similar "Professional" agitators who come in to commit the crimes, then leave the community in ruins.

You continue to impress.
 
Eh not really but this kinda was bound to happen sooner or later, when authorities continue to get away with ****, the people lose faith in the institutions... none of these cops even attempted to stop armed white wingers from storming government buildings but get a peaceful BLM march going, they bust out the pepper pellets and tear gas. I laugh at all the idiots that say the left are fully in charge.

I agree with this.

Why ruin your neighborhood?
 
No one supports burning and looting but I understand their anger and frustration.

I think you overlook the profiteers who look to gain from chaotic situations, and might have an iron in the fire. And you also overlook the right wing ideologues who can use it for propaganda purposes pushing their agenda.

There's lots of people who do not care a bit about the rioting.

Yeah, think of the millions who turned out for the March for Life against gun violence, and the feds did nothing. So the fustratiin is understandable.

Each and everyone one of these young people, 30% of whom voted in the last election, need to turn out for the next election.

No one? The protestors support looting and burning, obviously.

I suspect those truly motivated by the brutality inflicted on Floyd by the bad cops, are pissed off big time about the looters and thugs

Except it's not Antifa. It's Proud Boys, Eric Prince's boys and all the other alt-Right MAGAt's torching those cities.
