I categorically condemn violence of any type. I do not condemn people protesting peacefully about anything.
I had the same exact opinion about protests last summer and fall whether they be by any group. But I also condemned those groups when they did violent destructive acts. Consistency counts.
If you did Not condemn violent riots by BLM or Antifa earlier this year, while standing for folks protesting peacefully, then you have no standing here. This is not “whataboutism”. This is standing for what is right and legal no matter what the cause and whether you agree with it or not.
There is no rationalization here. The protesters had valid frustrations. They saw media treat Antifa rioters as “Peaceful”. They saw BLM harass diners and destroy property and receive millions of dollars while their businesses were locked up, burned and destroyed. They saw women break into the halls of Congress to protest Bret Kavanaugh, harass Republican leaders and Dem Reps welcome them. If you don’t think that frustration was part and parcel of this scene today, you aren’t seeing the whole picture.
NO violence is acceptable, but if there were any “No Justice No Peace” signs carried around today, there certainly were in riots across the US earlier this year from others on the left.
DUDE!!!

Blah blah blah....there's no need to respond with the ridiculousness of what happened today with " well they did this" period. It is finger pointing and stupid. There is zero justification for what happened today none period and dont care why they did it, it is stupid, childish, and they should all be shot for all I care.

You're part of the problem that say " yeah but this side did this" just like the fucktards on the left said about the right in response to portland, blm dumb fucks etc. All that bulkshit needs to stop and we need to rally against all this stupid behavior when it happens, period

And there is no justification what happened the past year with BLM, antifa, and impeachment. You think 50% of the country is going to just sit back and be ok with it? None of its right

No none of it is right, but if we continue this cycle of "yeah but this side " did this then this cycle of stupidness is never going to stop. Shit needs to end, period. And yeah 50% of the country is sitting back because they arent extreme fucking idiots...this is the 1% extreme morons causing all this division

This ain't no rife in Portland. It was an attempted coup on the government of the the United States. Lady was murdered inside the Capitol for chrissakes.

There will be a point sooner rather than later that you will no longer be able to suspend disbelief.

Very intrigued! Thanks for the heads up.

Haha, a Piketty quote. Perfect, talk about irony.

You have out-pretentious'ed posting a Piketty quote. Bravo to you. Hoping to see you debate your old econ professor on macro again sometime soon.

The extreme sides are the same side. Disenfranchised Americans who have been disregarded by their representatives.

Wrong...they are whiny ignorant psychos who blame all their problems on everyone else except the real problem, which is them
