In northwest Washington, Robert Hrifko, 62, a member of Bikers For Trump, said he was attempting to assist police when he was hit with a rock by an anti-Trump protester. He said the encounter deteriorated into a chair-throwing free-for-all.
...
Luis Villarroel from Virginia dropped passengers off near the corner of 13th and K Streets NW and then parked in front of the Washington Post building. He got out of his Lincoln MKT limo when he heard loud noises — "hundreds of masked men" coming his way.
"They threw food at me," he said, and started beating his limo. They threw a flare inside the limo, which was still visible on the seat.
"This is my business. Why are you destroying my stuff? It took me years to build," he recounted after the crowd left.
No one is surprised or shocked, the actions of the anti Trump nuts have been clear for months.
It isn't just anti-Trump types rioting. Go look at Milwaukee, Baltimore, Ferguson. We live in society where people riot, period. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying we have alot of angry people in this society.
It might halt a riot, but it won't stop more riots from occurring. I understand the way rioters think. Mentality of "Either you listen to me, or I'll tear down everything you have", and/or "It's going to be my way, or I'll destroy everything". How do you tackle that kind of mentality?
I think it's more like...."they paid me $500 and gave me a new phone to party and raise hell". If some of them get hit with tasers and a large percentage spend some time in jail, they'll fold like a lawn chair.
Half of them will be back in their parents basement the following week watching porn and u toob.
Interesting choice of words to describe people rioting and wreaking havoc by destroying buildings and cars.
That's what they look like to me; snot-nosed, sniveling little white boys who have no idea what real problems are. Do you really think they have any legit grievances? I'm not describing them by their actions in my post; that description would have been much different.

The rioting in the towns green_mariner mentions are fueled by anger. I still don't think that's the case in the OP's link.

Not a condemnation on you or your opinion, I just think that if they were darker, people would be throwing out different adjectives to describe them.

I can agree with that. Still the wrong way to go about it, but to those people, they felt that was their last/only resort to send a message.

These are the types of folks who really get the raw deal IMO.
Small business owner working his way up, and gets his property damaged and his livelihood takes a hit because these children are mad at someone else?
