They have more excuses and dodges than a little bit
They complain about destroying property until you show them white people doing the same then...its different
Complain about attacking the police until you show them whites doing the same ....then its different
Show them riots and whites say is inexcusable no matter when or where it happened...Show them white riots that actually killed people and they say...but that was long time ago.
Basically they have a dodge for everything they find "offensive" but only when the offender is white
Huge difference between protesting government, and burning down your own neighborhood..... don't you think?
Not to mention a slight time frame difference. Something that happened 200 years ago, doesn't really justify burning my house down today.
Yeah, and theres a difference because they are white, no one in baltimore wears frilly shirts. The destruction of property is good in that picture...duh obvi

No.
The Boston Tea Party and the Baltimore uprisings have very similar aspects.
Both involved destruction of property and both involved a group of people upset at government policies that they believed were oppressive upon them.
The time period doesn't matter because there were still outrage at the government. Just because you don't fall into the group that feel oppressive does not mean they are not upset and being oppressed.
You both have the right to be wrong.
There is more to it than just "destroying property is bad."
There are justifications for destroying property. Protecting criminals, is not a justification.
Fighting against a tyrannical government is. But punishing criminals, is not tyrannical.
Even *IF* you could try and make the claim that our government was worth protesting, what property you are destroying also matters.
The Boston tea party destroyed government tea. The East India Company, was controlled mostly by the aristocrats of Briton. The import duties were directly introduced by the government to prop up their own company.
In this case, the Boston tea party directly attacked the exact area of abuse, and rightly so.
Now how either of you even attempt to compare that to this, is beyond me.
Criminals get killed by police, therefore rioters burn down areas of their own town, harming their own neighbors, who have absolutely nothing to do with criminals, or police.
No no no no.... *shakes head* silly little leftists. That's not comparable in any way whatsoever.
