No you did. You said the founding fathers weren't like BLM or Antifa. I said you don't know that. In the eyes of the British they were worse, they were traitors to be put to death. You're the one who said history was relevant, but not to you. But all of your posts today on this thread are mental silly putty. (If you keep smacking your head, will any sense get into it?)
While I do respect how you reframed your current stance . I can say it goes along the squeeky wheel gets the grease. I don't think we need to support that squeeky wheel. We need to re-address and maintain civility at an adult.level of maturity.
Nope I don't support damaging property, be it body or building. That goes both ways. Those enforcing and the ones inflicting damage..
Riots in and of themselves are senseless . (Yes righties & lefties , you riot too and deserve acknowledgement of those times of discord).
I've seen no benefit to rioting for anyone person. It's barbaric.
The walk.softly and carry a big stick was a metaphor for hold proudly your principles and do so with a move forward to agreement/resolutions.
Toss out the squeeky wheel.
And I can totally understand your point of view. I appreciate it, and I appreciate you sharing it.
So I guess the woman interviewed only cared if the press showed up, not how she and her fellow terrorists would be perceived by the public. But then again, Democrat mayors, DAs and governors drop to their knees before these terrorists, so maybe she has a point.
They are already being murdered by police, with impunity. I don't think she gives a flying F--- what the public thinks.
Almost all big riots in the US in living memory have been preceded by serious police misconduct — from the Harlem riots of 1964 through George Floyd riots last year. America wants to end these riots, the answer really is simple: Get cops to stop killing black people. It really is that simple. Not easy. But just that simple.
President tonight in his address after the Chauvin verdict reinforced the anti-violence factor. But y'all will pretend he supports it because it satisfies the narratives in your head.
Riots happened en masse in 2020, they happened after the trial of the LAPD officers/Rodney King, there were riots after authorities decided not to prosecute the LEO who shot Michael Brown, leftists are threatening riots if Derek Chauvin walks, etc.
Do you defend riots? Do you think rioting is "understandable" even if wrong or illegal?
People's livelihoods go up in flames. From Korean merchants who lost incomes, marriages, and dreams in 1992 to Arab immigrants who saw their tiny shops be plundered by gleeful criminals, rioting destroys a lot more than property.
Do you leftists defend rioting? If so, why?
As soon as you tell me if you defend the coup attempt on 1/6.
Do you approve of all the riots of last summer and happening now?
No violence. No rioting. I don't approve of that. No looting. But by god give em hell....
