I have no problem with anyone protesting. That is a constitutional right I’ll defend to my dying day.When they protested peacefully, the right had issues with it because they were, "being disrespectful" to a piece of cloth, a song, and the ground.
Now that they're rioting, the right has issues with it because they're destroying property, looting, and burning cities to the ground.
So, apparently, this is how the right says they need to it: write letters to their local police departments. Yeah, because I'm sure that won't fall on deaf ears at all.
However, once you start destroying property and stealing, you’re asking, no, begging for trouble.
There have been protests that start peacefully, but then violent people join in, or people who have no business being there at all, and that’s where trouble starts. Then the message of the peaceful protesters, those that want change, gets undermined.
What raises my eyebrows, is that in many cities, once the rioting starts, nothing is done to stop it.
The most notorious riots in recent memory was Watts in 1965. 34 dead, a thousand injured, four thousand arrested, untold millions in damages,
this section of LA burned for a week.
It was staggering.
