Riots (what this thread is about) and protests are different things. No one's going to tolerate riots in Texas.
It was really funny watching clips of HPD out running over people with their horses and cracking sculls today. Houston may be a blue run city, but they don't tolerate rioters and looters.....which is why there won't be much of it.

Yep. Per the article, BLM turned a protest into a riot by smashing windows in the State Building, and turning on local businesses. That is when the Dem mayor told the police chief "enough!", and the police broke it up, and 8 people were arrested. It is over now. Protesting was OK, rioting is not.
Meanwhile in Minneapolis, the mayor had the police back off (giving up two precinct stations in the process).
Yup, Georgia is the only one that I can think of...and that's in a very blue district of the ATL...they're attacking their CNN location there as we speak.
Everyone protests the White House for their own compassions. It's a yawn, no one is going to be killed.
What do you think would happen if they pull the fence down and rushed the WH?
