    Let the parents handle it? That's what I advocate.

    The rioters in Lancaster Pa. were Hispanic farm laborers who most certainly work and pay taxes and some no doubt may own property, but there are idiots in every group and segment of our society

    Lawyers long, long ago made it impossible for police agencies to practice practical policing over maniacly dotting their 'i's and crossing their 't's even to the point of lunacy. Standard practices evolved because attornies ripped through police departments that used common sense over being very . . . very fiddly.

    Why would there be more rioting and looting? The threat to all has assumed room temperature and can no longer harm other people.
    Good jobs cops.

    Because a segment of our population tends to be copy cats.

    I'll agree and go one step further. We shouldn't have defunded and got rid of mental health centers when Reagan was president.

    Pretending mental health disorders just need a pill and release to the street is not the right answer. Emergency rooms are not equiped to deal with spiraling mental health patients.

    It isnt uncommon for coroner's office to take some time to get to the scene. Same as car accidents, suspected foul play, etc.

    They don't have to be hanging about anywhere. You only need 8-12 people at one scene to carry this off. That many can be put in a van and these vans can travel so as to get to more places more quickly.

    One guy with a computer could easily coordinate the entire thing over the whole country

    It couldn't happen anywhere else but America, where you have so much freedom to move about and not attract notice, coupled with so many guns.

    No. And leaving his body on the road for hours was criminal as well. 6 hours, wasn't it?

    When someone is attacking you with a knife, lead is the 'humane' way.

    No, that's called a proper crime scene investigation.

    Yes, and that happened. Antifa of Lancaster called out for mutual aid from Philly Antifa and they came. They came and Amped Up the crowd to frenzy.

    This wasn't some fantasy go team pre-staged by township section and range throughout the country by billionaires.

    Occam's razor.

    Sad thing is, you have multiple groups from all sides with an interest in causing issues at these protests. Wish the FBI did a better job tracking them.

    Keep pushing that Boogaloo Nazi myth. It's not at all making you look ridiculous.

    Last night was real quiet in Lancaster. The word got out that the police were not messing around, and they were not catching and releasing, and the people they were arresting were being held, and bail was being set high.

    And so there were no riots, and everything just petered out just after midnight.

    Show me the right wing Trump supporters who are blocking traffic, rioting, attacking police, looting, and starting fires.

    Surely the left wing media would love to show their mug shots, and out them as rioters.

    So where are they? You insist that "all sides" are involved in the riots, so where are the right wing agitators that have been arrested for rioting? Are the blue city prosecutors covering for them, and protecting their identities?

    Who said anything about Trump supporters? I asked you about Boogaloos and white supremacists. Are you saying that Boogaloos and white supremacists are Trump supporters? I could be persuaded...

    Okay then, show me the Illinois Nazis, Boogaloos, Trumpeteers, Proud Lads, whatever label you want to slap on the right wing agitators you insist are involved in the rioting, looting, and destruction, show me their mug shots.

    If they're directly involved in the riots, as you claim, then show me where they've been outed by the leftist media that would love to out them.

    I'll be over here not holding my breath.
