93% of the protesting is PEACEFUL and how many cities have we seen rioting or looting in? 3 at the most, but if you listen to these right wings fools who are spreading propaganda you would think this is happening from coast to coast.
Um, no. Riots have broken out in cities with looting, burning and vandalism, literally, from coast to coast since the George Floyd incident:
New York City
Los Angeles
Minneapolis
Kenosha
Richmond
Chicago
Memphis
Portland
Seattle
Kenosha
Columbus
Washington D.C.
Just to name a few.
What has Trump done to bring calm to America? Not a damn thing, he is fanning the flames of hate and chaos.
By doing what, trying to put a stop to the flames of hate and chaos already occurring?
So you named 12 out of thousands of cities across this country.
What do the other "thousands of cities" have to do with anything? I make no comparisons or refutations to anything other than what you said: 3 cities seeing looting and burning. This was patently false. Not to mention the fact that, even with "thousands of cities" that experienced no rioting or looting, you still felt it necessary to lowball the numbers.
I am not lowballing anything, if we listen to Trump and his Trump Humpers you would think America was burning from NC to CA. In the few cities where there has been looting or rioting it is not across the whole city and those folks are opportunist at best. The majority of folks are protesting PEACEFULLY.
Nevertheless, it's still a lot more than three cities. I suspect that, even if you were not thinking that on the surface, I believe you knew deep down that it was more than three cities. That's why I said you lowballed it.
It's the same motivation that makes reporters declare on scene that it is a peaceful protest while a ******* building is engulfed in flames behind them. No one except those who are pissed off about the theft and destruction are willing to see the truth.
Another thing, whether it's three cities or a thousand cities, the rioters have already caused up to $1,000,000,000 in damage. That's ONE BILLION dollars of damage that they've caused nationwide that most will never be made to account for either legally or monetarily.
Fact is most of these protest have been peaceful. The thing that amazes me about right wingers is you want to focus on the protest and NOT what is CAUSING the protests.
What we're focusing on is people breaking the law in response to breaking the law. We're also focusing on the fact that they're breaking the law against people who did not break the law.
That's the point you never speak out against those who broke the law that set these situations in motion.
Here's the thing:
Nothing set these situations in motion. Protesting is a choice. Rioting is a choice. Looting is a choice. And burning is a choice. Any and every response was a choice
they made. No one put a gun to their heads and forced them to loot and burn property of those who had nothing to do with the shooting. Nor was it legal, justified or ethical. Finally, it was not inevitable.
Now, if you want to compare numbers then let's compare numbers. You say thousands of cities saw no rioting or looting compared to a few that did. Now let's look at justified cop shootings vs. unjustified cop shootings. Actual, comparable figures are hard to come by but 2019 saw just over a thousand cop killings. You can't tell me that the majority of those are unjustified.
The rioters are making victims of the wrong people. THAT is what we have a problem with.
We all have a problem with that, we also have a problem with the root cause that started these protest.
That's fine, have a problem with it. Just don't burn down someone's livelihood that they've invested their life, money and work into and say "There, that'll teach that murdering cop!".
