A question was posed earlier in this thread, why should Trump supporters and 'outsiders' care about these riots and looting.

Well, I'd have though the answer was quite obvious.

All freedom loving Americans should care. These 'protests,' riots, and looting are not focused in a single geographical area. Using the George Floyd protests as a baseline, protests were reported in 2,000 cities and in all 50 states.

It is fast becoming a civil war in America, on a broader scale becoming Trump supporters against everyone else. While BLM and their ilk have been rampaging throughout America, and threatening those who don't toe their party line, many others who don't agree with them have become radio silent. There is no freedom of speech, the only free speech is that which kisses the butt of organizations like BLM. When one side has such power and fear over everyone else, that is a problem

Dems, these questions are for YOU. How much longer before you say ENOUGH?
I think people are reaching their breaking point. We have been dealing with this virus all year with no guidance or leadership. People are dying....over 180 thousand have died in our country. There are jobs and healthcare lost. And if that's not enough we have police that keep killing black men. Why is your focus on riots instead of what's been going on in our country all year.

If Trump supporters truly want peace and BLM to die down, best is to stay out, ignore BLM and the movement will subside. Biden and Harris want justice for Blake and others, but Trump ignores the root cause of the protests.

And it appears Trump supporters want the violence and law and order to be the lead headlines in the news, so that it overtakes Covid as the most pressing matter.
Protests have been going on for months. You actually think we can just ignore cities in flames and the economies of communities being ruined? Your head in the sand solution is pathetic.

Did Biden and Harris mention that Blake was wanted on a warrant for sexual assault and he refused to cooperate with the police and fought with them?

That's not the question. The question to be asked is how many more people will have to die before voters vote to end the insanity of leftist mayors and city councils?

If push comes to shove, BLM and the violent mob will be crushed. The woke whites sitting in their nice condos and apartments in cities only pretend to support the mobs until they themselves are endangered. They are selfish smallinded children.

It's an interesting claim that Democrats are trying to "spin" national unrest to be Trump's fault. Isn't Trump the incumbent now if you're trying to tie this to the presidency? Wouldn't it be Republicans trying to spin this as Biden's fault? I didn't know Biden had already succeeded him as POTUS. So who is trying to spin this?

The real question should be, how much longer do we have to wait until leftist mayors who allow rioting and looting to destroy their cities are arrested and charged with dereliction of duty and not keeping their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America?
