Deflect???


Who is "deflecting"? You have thousands of liberal extremists in the streets burning, looting, murdering and maiming.


Yet YOU focus on POSSIBLY ONE GUY with an umbrella?


I guess you can't step back for a moment to see that your "concern" over this one guy is absolutely mind boggling. It is the DEFINTION OF DEFLECTION.

Keep in mind that a lot of it has nothing to do with "sides". Setting aside the legitimate protesters, the remaining group is going to be a hodge-podge of folks with many that don't really care that much other than it's fun and they can grab some free stuff.

The walmart that got ransacked lost about 100k in merch to 200 people, or about $500 each. That's not left or right, that's just Christmas in July.

Exactly.

And those are just off the top of my head; I imagine there were plenty more. You are either uninformed, or you are purposely downplaying the significant violent social unrest that has been going on across the country.
My money's on that one.

“We can’t be fooled and play into his twisted campaign strategy. We celebrate passionate protests but Oaklanders need to know that when they attend protests after dark they may be providing cover for agitators who are more intent on stoking than advancing racial justice,” she continued.

Yup, the antifa and BLM thugs were all peaceful and stuff, and then Trump's minions put weapons in their hands, and convinced them to riot and break things.

YHup, it's all Trump's fault.

What a ditz.
