Left wing riots and violence breaking out all over tonight

Why do you support hateful violence?

I don't. People who react violently should be arrested.

However, any of the violence that has occurred can only classified as a "riot" if you redefine the term "riot."

A riot is not isolated acts of random nonsense occuring amongst largely peaceful protests. LA in '92 was a RIOT. Watts in '68 (?) was a RIOT.

By your metric, all Trump supporters are responsible for these:

Well, the OP was talking about massive civil unrest unfolding right now (which there isn't) and claims to have sources (but he doesn't)...

Actually, I suspect the reports are more of the wishful thinking type. But again today German and British news are reporting demonstrations and rioting. But again, the Eu people are trying to use Trump as a tool to push through further Eu integration and a European military with expeditionary capabilities independent of Nato. So the reports could easily be exaggerated on continental public media to agitate the populatiin and put the spin they need against American reliability.

You mean like when a single fight breaks out between 2 people at a Trump rally with thousands of people, and the democrats, media and leftist websites start insinuating "mass violence at Trump rallies". Then you keep hearing about "all the violence at Trump rallies" being talked about across progressive political circles as well as by progressive tv hosts on shows that aren't even supposed to be political. Not to mention the few comments made by Trump calling 1 woman fat, along with some overt flirting, somehow becomes PROOF POSITIVE that Trump hates women, and all examples above are immediately accepted by most progressives as proof that Trump is anti-woman, and his supporters are violent!

Do you need a 'source' to be reminded of those truths?
 
To the progressives trying to minimize or deny violence and rioting at anti Trump rallies, here are some sources that I shouldnt really need to post, because you are already aware of this(unless you don't own a tv or computer).

These reports only deal with 1 city's protesters. There are others. Here 71 rioters were arrested, although many many more got away.

Progressives can have their cake and eat it too. Amazing. I am waiting for perpetual motion and lightning in a bottle from them. Then the world will be complete.

No, there have been riots, vandalization, obstruction of interstate highways, assaults, etc... Time to accept the truth.

Exactly. If these people riot... the police need to round them up, arrest them, charge them and let them have their day in criminal court like anyone else. Those that they cannot initially arrest, identify via cameras or other video evidence, find their residence, arrest them, charge them, etc.

Protests when done legally are fine. Riots, assault, battery, arson, theft, destruction of private property.... against the law and we should expect our law enforcement to act in accordance with the law.

The Vancouver police department eventually arrested every rioter from the 2012 hockey riots through social media. They created a special site and put up the pictures and swarms of arrests followed.

Every rioter was an upper middle class "entitled" youth, most of whom have had their lives ruined.

You want to protest and sing "hoo ray for out side' fine, I've done my share, but start breaking ****, it's time to teach some lessons.

Canada knows the priorities, we've never had a race riot, we riot over important ****: hockey

'S okay, I have ocean front in Hope. Bought it really cheap from an American Democrat. "If you think Trump's gonna win the election..." he said.
