    So now peaceful protest should no longer be allowed because it may become a riot? Didn't Soviet Russia begin this way?

    Its not a typo. It is PC speak for women without having "men" in the word. Compare "Latinx" with is PC speak for "Latinos."

    No, but illegal assemblies should be dispersed with vigor before they become riots.

    "Peaceful" protests have a way of getting out of hand. Minneapolis and St. Paul are asking for $500 million in aid from the Federal government to recover from the losses caused by property destruction over three nights. The looting of hundreds of businesses is over and above that number. The city is now plagued by thousands of people that have decided to take up residence in tents in Minneapolis parks. Shootings and petty crime have set new records and the idiot politicians that control the purse strings want to dismantle the police department.
    See a pattern here?
    Probably not.

    As I've said elsewhere, I have no issue with peaceful protest.

    When people cause damage, harm other people, burn and loot, that is not a protest.

    Your stretch and rearrangement of what I said, is not appreciated.

    Again, it seems you are an advocate of persons and maybe even governments that do not "appreciate" people who object to what they say. Your words have implications and I follow them. "Words Mean Things" as somebody on the radio once said

    Soviet Russia, Communist China, Nazi Germany, all cracked down to restore order after riots.
    See a pattern?
    I hope so

    .

    Like Trump did the other day so he could pose with a Bible, that kind of "vigor"?

    Yes, I do and a very effective one. The limp-dicked Governor of Minnesota thought it would be a good idea to let the "peaceful protesters" burn down and loot banks, post offices, and a police station. $500 million later in destroyed businesses and public property, and only after he was being made a total fool of on national television, he pulled his head out of his ass and had the police and National Guard handle the situation on night three. The bullshit stopped within minutes.

    I can only surmise from your comments that you support rioting, looting, and burning. Do you see good in the destruction of other people's property?

    No, those are your words, not mine. Protesting is, and always should be part of a process to enact change.

    Rioting, harming property and people, is not condoned any where that is civilized, serves no purpose other than to satisfy a primal urge to lash out at anything and everything. Rioting and looting is not protesting. It is immature people, behaving badly.

    More generic chatter. I don't shoot people and block traffic so take your fake news elsewhere. Your BLM buddies wasted an 8 year old girl and here you are defending them.

    SICK!

    Depends upon which ones. We hear about dishonest black leaders but rarely about the ones doing sincere honest jobs. That will not include Burn, Loot, Murder.

    It's like they have a little timer set up so they can panic, wail and froth on every quarter-hour.

    That's right, try to excuse 15 deaths because it's not so bad, yes? Dead and wrong.

    THEY WERE NOT KILLED BY COPS. Stop evading. The left killed their own supporters.

    My point was that just because you don't specifically say something does not mean that some will not take it as clearly implied. If you say that you are going to "dominate" the streets with "vicious dogs" and "ominous weapons" and then follow that up with tear gassing clearly peaceful protestors you pretty much are telling people that protest of any kind is not welcome.

    If they want to make us change, let them try. Freedom is freedom is freedom.

    No, I'm pointing out that just 15 deaths from that many protests means that the vast majority were peaceful. One death is too many.

    There's an entire Siberia between peaceful protests and those which become a riot. To allow the former and prepare to end the latter is always implicit in every demonstration regardless of topic.

    And in the process you have to be VERY careful not to CAUSE the latter. That's what many credible witnesses were saying was going on.

    There were also, it seemed, people who were not police but were trying to cause a riot purposely. (Some protestors actually stopped such). I have said for a long time that I believe many wealthy conservatives would not be above trying to start riots at peaceful protests to make leftists look bad while leftists conversely would have no real reason to do so.
