Locked. No further comments permitted.Protests are peaceful, then turn violent

Tags: Current Events

This is happening too often. First we have peaceful BLM protests, which is fine. Then somewhere along the line, we start hearing about violent acts.

To say they aren't linked somehow isn't true. Maybe not the same people, but the passions that cause one group to behave one way seem to be inspiring another group to behave differently.

I'm just turned off from all of this already. Yes, we should work hard to reduce racial bias in police so that we see far fewer incidents of police shooting unarmed black men. No question. But we need action from police, government, and experts in racial bias to make this happen. We don't need these protests to do this.

I think I'd feel very differently if the protests were 95% black and 100% peaceful, but they aren't. They are largely white.

Unfortunately a very bad segment of our society is ambushing the peaceful protests and using them for their violent agenda. It is the cover story for them to burn, loot, pillage and bring anarchy to our cities.

And city officials don't seem to understand the difference and don't have the balls to intercede immediately when it moves beyond 'peaceful'. But the main stream media doesn't seem to want to highlight the violence.

His point is, why are we surprised that looting and acts of violence that spring up during protests end up producing armed militias of young adults if nothing is being done about the violence?

Gotta give credit to Trump and Republican party. They searched far and wide and all across America for blacks supporting Trump and brought them all to the RNC to speak. What a guy.

Having been on both sides of protests in my life, I can attest that escalation of protests brings out the stupid in everyone.

I wish we had more statesmen that could inspire and calm a crowd, rather than escalate conflict.

Hey NR: The riots in 1967-1968 were orders of magnitude greater than what is going on today. And the riots after the 1992 Rodney King trial were terrifying. There were fires as far as the eye could see. I was going from Anaheim to LAX 2 days after the riots started and my work colleagues said to me" go 100 mph and don't stop for anything". On the plane, LA looked like an inferno. Those were the days of anarchy.

It would sure help if the local authorities at city and state level would support thier own law enforcement resources to deal with this. Instead they prefer police to stand down and are agnostic to accepting help from federal law officers or national guard troops.

National guard could quell this violence easily but the blue state leaders wont let it happen...

Vss4, it’s a feeling of retribution and accountability. We keep taking steps backwards in the peace process when every person of color is hurt, while and armed individual who shot and killed protestors “got away” when law enforcement had him.

Conserva-duhs right now remind me of my time in the Middle East, where Might Makes Right, without appreciating to listen to the other side of the argument AND not realizing the opposing argued will escalate if you escalate.

Quat , you want the violence because you want to bring down the system and bring about your communist utopia/dystopian nightmare. Also because u can't stand that hard working individuals acheived something you could not and feel that you are entitled to more than what you currently receive on your ebt card. You blame racism for everything rather than look in the mirror at your own short comings and failures. You listen to the propaganda and politicos and regurgitate there talking points like a good drone and you get rewarded with a little more on that entitlement plate you like to eat off of....



@Sherkhan you mean the guy who shot rioters who were chasing him and he defended himself. I saw the video. The cops saw him defend himself as well thats probably why they did not take him in even thou he surrendered to them. This dude being charged with murder is pure politics to please the left nothing more. The rioters he shot were all white guys by the way..

I am sick in tired of the left trying to play the victim card for black people when you know black people did not ask them too. These white people who are rioting on the behalf of black people are some of the most racist mofo's around. Too make my point in an earlier video from last night the guy that got shot in the head was calling other white guys the N'WORD AS IF he were black. WTF????

and then later on he got his cap peeled

Hey DL: in the U.S., right wing terrorism has always been a lot worse than left wing terrorism. The FBI has documented this time and again. Starting with the KKK and right up to the present. Right wingers have always believed that they have the inalienable right to kill non-whites. And they certainly act on this belief.

Who makes the decisions as to whether a group of lawless thugs are right or left? I sure as hell don't identify and associate antifa to any political ideology.

Ideas that are antithetical to the representative democratic process are neither far right or left they arent even part of the conversation because their beliefs are in opposition of what is established and widely recognized as what is within our framework.

Both Antifa and the KKK are fascist we pretty much all recognize them as the outside the norm pieces of crap they are. All except Dude and Jerry Nadler that is.

I love how defending buildings and property from leftist rioters is considered right wing extremism.

I love how defending yourself from a bunch of leftist radicals is also considered right wing extremism and terrorism.

Under Wisconsin law, he has virtually no chance of successfully claiming self defense. He had illegal possession of a firearm and he entered the state and most likely provoked the encounter where he killed the first victim. This is clear 2nd degree murder at an absolute minimum.

The guy who he shot in the arm actually was pointing a glock at him. He blew his bicep clean off and the dude ran off still holding the glock. There are pictures on the internet with that guy with a big chunk of his upper arm missing and he is still holding a handgun.

Also the guy defending himself with the AR lives in Antioch IL which is only about 30 minutes from Kenosha WI, so no he did not travel 100's of miles.

Assualt gun?? could u be anymore liberal @Grambler???, Please tell me what an assault gun is, because I saw the shooter carrying an Ar-15 which is a sporting rifle which is in common use. In fact its the most popular owned rifle in the USA..

There are videos of the incident before and after. There is video of rioters confronting armed citizens protecting a business. The shooter is in that video and the guy that got shot in the head is in that video too, talking a bunch of shit and calling the militia dudes, the N-word.

Back during the LA Riots you had a bunch of Korean store owners defending there businesses with sporting rifles, and liberals had no problem with it because they were not white.

Seems liberals also have no problem with antifa or blm walking around with those same rifles, when they do no one complains.

There are video's of antifa carrying AR's in the streets of Portland going back years and no one cared.

But if we have some white guys defend some businesses during a riot, they are all of the sudden right wing extremist/terrorist there to cause trouble.

@Grambler , maybe he was at the heated protest environment, because he believed the bullshit the MSM says about these so called protest claiming that they are all PEACEFUL PROTEST!!!!!!!

These protest are so peaceful that liberal Democrats do not even mention them and when Republicans mention them, then they are either alarmist or bigots....

He was nowhere near his bag limit although you never leave wounded game in the field.

Unfortunately, violence breeds violence.

If the demonstrations and protests turn violent (damaging buildings, burning cars, looting, etc.) the local law enforcement needs to begin clearing the streets and arresting those who do not leave peacefully. When that occurs, you don't see a stupid escalation to where people get shot.

We have the right to demonstrate and protest. NO one has the right to loot, burn, graffiti, break windows, etc. of someone else's property. The mayors are to blame...clear and simple.

@Grambler, it amazes me how liberals think. all you did was prove my point. A guy drives 30 minutes to protect a business from rioters and because he is armed he is a right wing extremist armed to the teeth. yet you ignore the rioters who were also armed. All you do is follow the lies of the MSM. even thou there is videos online that show what happened.


Why don't u do some research before speaking on an issue.

All u did was prove and reinforce my points.
