Fox can hardly bring themselves to show pictures of the riots but they didn't have an issue showing pictures of the summer riots over and over. I guess this wasn't as important.

Summer riots?

Correction. "Mostly peaceful protests".

That is what CNN called them. That is, when they did show them at all.

I turned on CNN for an hour the other day. It is sad to see how far they have fallen. They transformed themselves into a tabloid news station, who's only purpose is to radicalize people on the left.

Well the lying cheating DEMS who are so terrified of Trump they engineered this sham trial after he is already gone......anybody who believes that scuzzy looking group of thugs were all MAGA Trump supporters is deceived. This scene was planned earlier and subverted by the Antifa/BLM thugs we all know and love........

Next they will dig up Washington and dream up a reason to impeach him.......a sad day for the country and will get sadder with dementia Joe at the helm........

Well the protests were mostly peaceful but they attempted to connected them to the rioters and looters.

It truly was an embarrassing episode for Republicans. They are all avoiding coverage of it.

Do you have any evidence that any of the 190 that have been arrested were BLM or whoever? Not only are these people MAGAs, they`re also deadbeats, scammers and bums. Check out Jenna Ryan whose life is much like the life of the twice impeached one. Do any of the rioters have an actual job?

Here's the problem with trying to separate the protests from the looting.

The protests often start to include dangerous activities like attempting to move onto the freeways to stop traffic and create a gigantic "scene". You're asking for traffic accidents and more. The BLM protesters tried that many times here in Los Angeles.

Obviously the police need to be ready to contain such actions, because the protestors WILL try it.

With much of the police force busy trying to contain the swelling and moving crowd of protestors, looters see the opportunity to move in and take advantage of the situation.

Here in Los Angeles the looters went so far as to block off streets with their cars so the few remaining police officers could not get through while they ransacked business after business. Some setting them on fire as they left. Then moved on to the next retail section and did the same thing. They destroyed most of the Santa Monica retail district.

Large protests in most big cities will usually be accompanied by looting and vandalism. I didn't say always, I said usually because it's true. We've seen it time and time again.

For Kamala Harris to say she plans to encourage more protests across the country when she knows damn well there will be accompanying looting and vandalism, is beyond irresponsible. And I'm not excusing anything Trump has done, he created big issues also.

Kamala's remarks were before the election, so maybe she just said it to get the Black vote. Now that she's in the White House we'll see if she makes statements like that again. I think she might understand the repercussions of it now.

There’s nothing people don’t already know. They’re just doing a porn show. It’s illegitimate since the guy’s out of office and Justice Roberts kicked it to the curb.
