The non violent anti-Trump protests are not bad they are just a bit childish and pathetic.

What started out as a peaceful march, with more than 4,000 people, quickly turned violent.

Over the course of the evening, "anarchists" in the crowd threw objects at officers, vandalized local businesses and damaged cars, Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson said.

Both are bad, but do you have the ability to comprehend the difference in the 2?

I don't think many people would have a problem with people protesting Trump also took over a field in the middle of nowhere to get there message across. When you destroy neighborhoods and businesses and block highways, you're not protesters. You are just snotty children throwing a violent tantrum.

Both are bad, at least the Bundy's didn't destroy the work of thousands of small business owners. The Bundy's and the rioting snowflakes all belong in jail.

No, they just threatened the lives of ATF agents just trying to do their jobs.

And confronting riot police just trying to do their jobs is? Please do tell.

And for the record, I was highly critical of the Bundy crowd. Peaceful protest are one thing, violence or the threat of it is another. Also, the Bundy crowd was about 99% smaller than the current Hillary Riots and interfered with almost nobody else's lives. The Hillary Riots are causing destruction, violence, theft and are interfering with every day people just trying to make a living. The comparison goes way beyond apples and oranges. There is no comparison, at least not to an objective person.

From now until the end of time, all you will have is the small handful of guys with Bundy or Tim McVeigh, and you think this excuses tens of thousands of liberals rioting, assaulting, looting, burning, in just this last year alone.

I have not even followed the story about Bundy, did he or his people riot, loot, burn? Or did he and his people just occupy a piece of land, like OWS used to do, when they were not rioting, raping, looting, defecating, assaulting people and destroying private property and assaulting the police?
