    Wow. Your 'feelings' are a joke. The way to stop it is to enforce the law prudently, and consistently on those who break the law, not their families who did not break the law. The parents are not responsible to do your law enforcement work for you because you are not paying them to enforce your curfews, your looting statutes, or your vandalism laws.

    Should we do the same thing with young males who shoot up schools, shopping centers, theaters and churches?
    Should we publish their parents names and pictures? Would that be a deterrent?

    Two wrongs don't make a right.



    What "works" is obsession with the ends and a complete indifference toward the means.

    But taking the ends justify the means too far has killed tens of millions. So we need proportionality to get the best of both freedom and outcomes.

    protesters are not rioters.

    If we knew the who they were and had evidence they rioted (damage or theft) they would just arrest them. No need for parent shaming.

    Arrest them all and let the courts sort it out. Clear the streets, forget these extended bleatings and get some semblance of order re-established. And yes, water cannons are definitely authorized.

    Or, you know, you could respect the First Amendment instead. Maybe even the Eighth too, if you are feeling frisky.

    They have overstayed the welcome for this event. Should they wish to obey the law and arrange a lawful assembly, then I have no objections whatsoever. Until then they are now lawbreakers.

    Wow, what happened in your home behind closed doors? Don't tell us, I'm sure it was plenty sad.

    Part of growing up is being accountable for your own actions. So if someone burns down a store, well that's not really their parent's fault. In fact, few parents raise their children with the notion that such a choice is a good one. The best thing parents can do is let them face the consequences of their actions as appropriate for their age. At the age of "under 30," they can get arrested for their actions.

    You just advocating arresting and hosing even those who are peaceful. Their rights are not based on your "welcome."

    Black driver, white victims (one a professed non-binary). Dunno about old, though....just that they don't fit the Donks' narrative and so will be instantly forgotten.

    There's no time limit on protesting last I checked. And they never had your support so they aren't crying over the loss or anything.

    Get off the damned street when ordered and you will go home dry and unruffled. Peaceful knows when to go the frack home.

    I live in an apartment. Last year, a guy moved in. He is in his early to mid-40s. He was kind of standoffish, but seemed harmless.

    One day, he got upset about something and threw all his furniture away. Everything. His parents bought him new stuff.

    Another time, he got angry, he started running through the lobby. It took three cops to catch him and hold him down while they handcuffed him. His parents were angry at the cops.

    Less than a month later, he got upset and went through the entire building and removed EVERYTHING (ie paintings, signs, brochures, announcements, bulletin boards, etc.). He damaged all of it so it couldn't be retrieved from the dumpsters.​

    At that point, property management decided that he had to leave. Yep, you guessed it. His parents threatened to sue them for "kicking their little boy out." It's like parents who go to court and try to tell the judge their child is "a good boy" or "a good girl". That almost never works.

    Point being - Parents are going to push back hard if they are held accountable for their kids' behavior. And, that does even touch the issue of the legalities of such actions.

    Where does it give protestors the "right" to occupy federal, state or local public buildings and deface them? Where does it authorize the killings of at least 5 people that I am aware of, all by the BLM people and not by the cops? They've been at this more than a month. Time to shut them down.

    The public school system is more responsible than the parents. Critical thinking, a knowledge of government, American history, and Western Civilization should be a requirement to graduate from High School.

    That's the most anti-America thing you can do.

    After more than 40 days of this, I vehemently disagree. Enough! Restore peace and order.

    This has been a thread in which right wingers justify violence against anyone who disrupts their world view. How telling it is to see people who support law and order using what amounts to vigilante justice and denying people their rights. Not once did I see people ask why the riots broke out. If you want to hurt people instead of understand you make the next riots all the more likely.

    So forty days is OK to disrupt everyone? Since when is calling in the police "vigilante justice"? Since when do you have a right to damage property and ruin businesses, or kill 5 people on your own side?

    Nobody CARES Why the riots broke out, just that the punks behind it were not handcuffed and dragged away tout-suite.

    This entire thread is about punishing parents for the “crimes” of their children. If that isn’t vigilante justice I won’t know what is. Is it the police that are going to be called in, or is it paramilitary groups that are going to restore order? We’ve already seen the answer to that question pop up in the past and we know where it leads. People are saying brown shirts for a reason. You might think nobody cares about why the riots broke out, but is that because you don’t want to think about it?
