These aren't Americans rioting for America. They are international anarchist types, Communists that should learn about Communist work camps, and bored privileged trust fund babies needing something to do with all their free time because they certainly don't believe they should have to work for their tuition money.

Simple answer is that the 13yr old's parents chose to put their personal agenda ahead of their child's safety.
Do you feel the same about all those tea partiers who take their kids to protests?

Of course not, it's different, they are tea partiers.

When I heard that it's mostly communists, socialists, and the like at the protests, I figured it was just an astroturf rally. Then I heard Michael Moore was there, and then when I thought, yep this is becoming like the tea party of the left, co-opted by George Soros and friends.

Now that's pure speculation on your part...

Why is it that you know exactly what her parents are thinking?...

Oh yea, all those rioters getting maced and arrested are "trust fund babies"

Think you got your logic backwards sport, those "trust fund babies" are living large on the $$$ that their parents stole from the middle class.

Wake up.

Where did I claim to know what the parents were thinking? Their actions clearly illustrate their priorities.
