Who are “all these leftists” defending violence? I don’t. But I absolutely defend the rights of peaceful protesters.
I think this says more about our gun liberal gun laws than protests. Why where either of them armed?
Peaceful protesters don't shoot.
I absolutely defend peaceful protesters as well... However peaceful protesters don't hang around with gunfire goes off. A great many of these people don't seem to do that... Hell... Some of them barely flinch.. Like they knew there was a gun there, and just assumed it was not aimed at them.
peaceful protesters are not out looking for fights nor should need a gun.
either action moves you from peaceful protest to riot.
no excuses
no reasons to justify.
you crossed the line. deal with the consequences.
Well that is interesting. According to one article, it is not uncommon for protestor across the political spectrum, to be armed in Texas.
I am sure then you will join me in condemning these protests (because,
I actually agree with you, there is no need for guns in a protest).
