How many more of our once beautiful cities need to look like 3rd world, war zones?
How much does opportunistic crime need to rise because you thought "defund the police" was a good idea?
How many more illegal autonomous zones or illegal road/freeway closures to we need?

Is it worth watching your country burn and see people injured and killed, just to spite Trump?
Aren't you bright enough to realize it helps him because he can sell himself as the alternative to this madness?

Aren't you bright enough to realize that absolutely nobody thinks these are peaceful protests anymore?

This is YOUR mess. These are YOUR people out there apologizing, enabling and excusing them.
When do YOU say enough is enough?
It is ironic to see smaller vehicles getting torched. Wouldn't the left target the gas guzzlers? I thought the left was supposed to be more environmentally conscious? That is what the mainstream media always said. Did they lie to me over and over again?

How many white supremacists are burning down cities and assaulting and killing people?
How many white supremacists groups have cover from politicians and the media and get the police to stand down from enforcing the laws they break?
How many white supremacists have set up autonomous zones in major cities in recent history (or EVER?)
How many white supremacist groups have the backing of academia in our universities?
How many white supremacist groups have had ANY real power or influence to do much of anything in the last 40-50 years?

I know you'd like there to be some equivalence there so you can dodge responsibility but there really is not.

Exactly. From what I can remember, the idiot that ran down the girl in Charlotte last year, and Timothy McVeigh , although I'm not sure if he was a white supremacist.

..and these people aren't exactly celebrated by the right, like left wing radicals are by the left.

How's that working out for people in Seattle and Portland?

They never will

- the left does not have anything so they don't care about destroying things.
- the left doesn't work so they have plenty of time and energy for these things.
- the left doesn't believe in law and reason -- only "feelings"
- the left doesn't care about violence as a concept if they can be violent agains people they don't like.

No appeasement or capitulation will be offered I think. It won't be long before actual bullets start flying. Then the actual overwhelming of hospital emergency rooms might come to fruition.

So he's just supposed to let cities burn until the rioters decide to stop?
Once again, I'll ask.. how many lives need to be lost? How many billions of dollars in damage is enough?

If someone were setting your house on fire and you had to use force to stop them, would you consider that "escalating" the situation"?
The problem is that many on the left refused to see a problem and the rioters didn't suffer any real consequences for their actions, so it continued. When is it supposed to stop?
Trump isn't escalating, he's doing what these democrat politicians should have done five minutes after it started.

It Trump's response is incorrect. What is YOUR solution?
