why won't President Obama or Hillary tell rioters to stop?

[BlindBoo]

Trump blames .....the Media.

"Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!"

Four years ago he encouraged protest.

"We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!"

Get use to it from the Flip-Flopper, and Groper, in Chief, America.

President-elect Trump addresses protests for first time, accuses media of inciting them

 

[OldLady]

Ok, I'm only 18 and obviously naive but if I were President or the person everyone was rioting over not being elected (Mrs. Clinton of course) then I would hold a nationwide press conference and demand for people to stop the rioting and looting and explain to them why. But that's just me. And we know they aren't going to listen to President elect Trump.
Why are President Obama and Mrs. Clinton allowing this to go on without condemning these actions and addressing the chaos and problem on television to the nation and to the rioters themselves?
Am I wrong? Help me understand please... thanks in advance.

Clinton did say something. It wasn't given much air. Obama doesn't remark on protests; only serious riots. Trump's team has put some words in his mouth this a.m., citing the protesters' passion for the country (a few hours earlier they were "unfair" and stooges of the evil media).
There was only one riot, and the police dealt with it as was right. We do not stop protests.

We used to.

We need to.

You can't protest your rights being violated by violating other peoples' rights.

And that riot was stopped. Which was all good.
Stopping protests is wrong. It's getting colder. People will give it up soon enough.

 

[OldLady]

Uhhh, there are riots, dear.

"Riots" In Portland Over Trump Election

Yes. A (singular) riot in Portland. I know.

It is simple. Don't question your good instinct in this case. They are guilty of having turned a blind eye, and even encouraged civil disobedience for years, sadly, simply because their political philosophy is not shared by all .

well, I'm not real sure of the law but if you turn away from a crime being committed then can't you also be held accountable or even arrested as being an accessory or something like that? That's what we have been taught growing up. I'm sure I'm in 'grey' areas with this... It just seems wrong to me for people in charge to sit by and watch and not do anything to stop it.

 

[Tilly]

You give me hope for the future.

thanks! but it just all seems so simple and obvious to me... maybe there's a legitimate reason why President Obama and Mrs. Clinton refuse to address it.

They are more than happy for it to continue in the hope it reflects badly on President Elect Trump. It does not, of course.

Our campaign was never about one person, or even one election. It was about the country we love and building an America that is hopeful, inclusive, and big-hearted. We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power.

We don't just respect that. We cherish it. It also enshrines the rule of law;

How cute. The young guy expects morality from slimy leftists

Look to your party and your racist Cheeto Faced Fascist for the answer. Did you actually people would blindly accept a man who has zero qualifications to be President?

der Trumpendiken has used hate daily in his campaign and you blame a Democrat....typical ConJob, shifting the blame.

There is a federal law to protect us that outlaws professional protestors from crossing state lines for the purpose of inciting a riot....

Obama will never enforce it however....

Tell people to stop exercising their first amendment right of free speech? Why should they?

But President Obama is still the President. It's his duty to speak up.

When has obuthole ever cared about doing his duty?

Protesters for hire is a for profit company that protests your just cause. Give us 72 hours and we will set up a coalition for you in which we can draw national media coverage. When was the last time you heard or seen a protest of 100 people not get televised?

The UK news has just shown one of the riots where the rioters are not only fighting the police but also each other! If it comes back on I will note the location. This is not peaceful protesting and it's a disgrace that Obama appears to be deliberately allowing it to continue for the third night without uttering a word to calm the situation. So much for all his hot air about doing all he could to ensure a peaceful transition.
