“It’s not about that building! It’s not about bricks and mortars!” the man in the Black Lives Matter shirt and cap thundered into a megaphone late Thursday night as he stood in the middle of Southwest Third Avenue as speeches ended in front of the Justice Center in downtown.

Shrug. One man finally does the right thing. It's hard to accept them as benign when they work with a convicted terrorist. It's harder to accept that they aren't about riots and violence when it happens so often wherever they go.

Racists are unreasonable people and the racist BLM protestors are no exception.

You mean when authorities stop lobbing tear gas into crowds of people, the crowds are more peaceful?

This news is brought to you by anyone with common sense, and anyone who has actually been to a protest in the last few months.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Which came first: authorities lobbing tear gas into crowds of people who were already rioting, or crowds of peaceful protesters turned into rioters by authorities lobbing tear gas into them?

Police brutality came first. That's what the protests were about. Then police responded to protests with more brutality, which escalated the situation. That's why things instantly become less violent when police back off from protesters.

I understand the cause. I have seen some messed up stuff on both sides. The riots did spiral out of control pretty quickly though. What did the police do to make them decide to lay siege to a federal courthouse?
