You dodged the question. Hey, I get that you may be frustrated with a situation BUT it's disingenuous/cowardly to cheer on mass violence ( I believe against "white people" if I heard it correctly) if you are not willing to put your own butt on the line to feel the consequences.
Read the article and it shows you had a PEACEFUL protest which is just fine. So, may I ask you why you're voicing support for violent protests if (again) you personally are not right on the front lines?
The point I've been trying to make is that peaceful boisterous,vocal protests are part of our country's history but physically violent property damaging ones are not and should not be tolerated by ANY side.
It's easy to cheer violence on from your easy chair, if you're not the one facing jail, injury or worse and until one IS facing said consequences personally one might/should hold their tongues...

the Boston Tea Party is literally about destroying property.
another example was during the whiskey rebellion in the 1700's protestors tarred and feathered a messenger.

I answered that. Twice. I can also note that things remained peaceful because we got what we wanted. A new law passed.

It is too. It's been noted over and over and over and over that the country is a country because of violent uprisings leading to war.
Why did the founders make sure to include the 2nd amendment?

You simply want to shut down things you disagree with. It's not going to happen.

So you're a pacifist when it comes to going to war with other countries, but you don't give a damn what happens to the property, livelihoods, and lives of Americans.

Got it.
It gets old having to correct the same stupid stuff people post about me.
Those examples are very relevant considering they caused both property damage and personal damage...
Our country actually has a very deep history of riots that cause both property and physical damage so to think it is unusual and not historically accurate is very strange on the part of that poster.
