The definition of condone is to disregard or overlook (something illegal or objectionable)
That is EXACTLY what the left is doing in regard to the increasingly violent protests against Trump that we are seeing. They disregard it. They overlook it. They minimize it.

Yet they are motivated to march based on what Trump has done ?!
How is whatever Trump has done worse than beating people, blocking ambulances, destroying property and setting fires??

I realize the vast majority of protesters do not do this but they are motivated to go out and protest Trump but they are not motivated in the slightest to protest the behavior of the rioters who so frequently show up at these protests and behave in such despicable ways.

I was taught that the men who participated in the Boston Tea Party were heroes and patriots. I believe that most of the people attacking private property are anti-fascist anarchists, as opposed to liberals. That said, I think that riots can be a valid form of protest.

Trump should sign EO outlawing jumping off bridges. Sit back and watch the fun. MSM is disgusting accomplice. The enemy at this point.

Is blocking an ambulance an act of heroism?

Ok. I don't condone any violent actions of any protester left or right or anywhere else.

But I'm not into marching period. Boycotts and placing pressure on bussiness not to associate their name with folk you don't like is always a better route. Money talk.

Pick your battles wisely, please.

MLK "played the MSM" well back in the day well and; helped turn the US against Jim Crow and, rightly so.

OTOH: the la raza kind, the BLM kind and other groups ARE making lots of enemies in 2017. Def not real smart there, you DC and Berkeley punks since Trump was sworn in as POTUS. Even tho most were anglo white, their kind still need to be pun in their place.

The protesters speak out against Trump vocally but not the rioters.
