The mobs and rioters made their point known all summer and almost every time they managed to get their way. Whether it was individuals, businesses, or governments, it didnt matter. Most bent the knee and caved to the demands of the rioters and the mobs.

Anyone watching this summer would righty think that if you get a mob that makes demands, threatens violence, perpetrates acts of violence then it works to get what you want. Why go through the legal process?

BLM and antifa all summer claimed that what they were doing was democracy in action. “This is what democracy looks like!” was their rallying cry. Well, democracy needs laws otherwise it is merely mob rule.

Democrats frequently talk about the importance of democracy but ignore that democracy without laws is a terrible thing. The minority view point must be protected and mob violence cant be tolerated or given into.

The country as a whole caved to BLM and antifa this summer. We are now seeing why you dont do that. You embolden other groups who want to use the same tactics to get what they want.

We cannot continue to bend the knee. Extremist and terrorist groups of all sides will take advantage. Even if we agree with the sentiment behind the movement, the methods to get there must involve means that do not involve violence and intimidation. We will soon have a dictator if we keep bending the knee.

I thought this was about Kaepernick and the rightwingers losing their stuff over his disrespect for a nation symbol. Because apparentlt kneeling on a football field makes you a traitor, where interrupting the US Congress carrying out their duty makes you some sort of hero.

well I guess you got your "traitors" and you got your "freedom fighters".

Seems like King Henry's concern de jour is mob violence. Yesterday it was the fact that he will have to pay for everybody else's student loans with Biden in the White House. Who knows what tomorrow's concern will be. Looking forward to it.
