Fast forward, and you have unarmed (supposedly) protests, and there is rioting, looting, arsons, assaults and murders. Curfews have been imposed, mass arrests made, and the National guard has been activated. Go Figure. |

At the store I work at we where told to bring the box bales inside if we didn't do a reload in case of looters.... and yet left a ton of pallets outside. I guess a rectangle of cardboard is more valuable then a bunch of planks nailed together.

I'm sorry Catfish maybe your were just being sarcastic

I thought it would be over but the looters have now gone after Macy's in New York and I saw a fire on top of Macy's building too. What a sad day for America ... back in the Old Testament days an old lady came out and said to the army coming against them, "what do you want"? and the commander said we want the head of the man we are after" She said you will have it by morning and then the next day she threw his head over the wall and the army went way. This could've been all averted by giving them the policeman that wouldn't let George breathe, which I think they knew each other and could be a hate crime added too.

You got it right on that account. I'd bet many of the looters don't even know his name.

With reference to the 2011 riots in the UK, it spread like wild fire across the country.
Very similar to what is happening now in the US, a single incident in London and the (Protests) riots started all over and like mentioned in above posts, they weren't about the incident but an excuse to rob and cause chaos and a lot of damage. If you were to stop and ask what they were rioting about most of them wouldn't know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots Col.

The very idea that the violent far left anarchist group Antifa needs any encouragement to behave the way they do is laughable. The very obvious (to those who are looking) behaviour of this anti Fascist group is to behave like Fascists. Try to explain that.

An opinion piece from Der Tagesspiegel. I agree.

Another falsehood from CNN. President Trump and his family were taken to this secure bunker by Secret Service agents for a brief time with protesters clashing with police near the White House.

I love how everyone is trying to politicize this by arguing whether the violence is being done by far left or far right groups.
Who cares??? Both groups use the same tactics and they are all criminals in my view.
