If what you're saying is true, the entire country would be on fire right now.
More than 3,000,000 people protested just two days ago. If 90% of them were savages destroying shit like you claim, the country would be in absolute chaos right now.


You're trying to take the actions of a couple dozen Black Bloc anarchists and use them to generalize the hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors at the inauguration to write them all off.


Were you making this argument when the right wingers spent all of 2009 protesting President Obama's election?

You listed what? A dozen and a half incidents of violence? You do realize that there have been tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of protests within the last 10 years?
Black Lives Matter has held over 2,000 protests themselves. You're really going to try to tell me that there has been more violent protests than peaceful protests?


Aren't you the one who tried to write off my arguments as "You got that from CNN", when you're the one only counting the protests that you see on the news. It's not the peaceful protestors fault that the media chooses not to cover them.

Now just to clarify, this is regarding mass protests. Not ones containing 100-200 people. I will edit that in post.

So again, whether they out number them or not. They are savages and can not continue.

Glock- wrote So again, whether they out number them or not. They are savages and can not continue.

So we should shut down protests with hundreds of thousands of people in them if less than two dozen are trying to incite a riot?

Okay i feel like you don't read. Can you confirm that for me?

Did i once, in my comments or post say we should shutdown protests. Did i once say that? I said violent protests need to be shutdown and need to stop right?
Actually, i said this.

Protesting is part of your first amendment right in this country. You as a citizen have the right to protest.

You literally just said that it doesn't matter if the troublemakers are outnumbered by peaceful protestors, that they are "savages" and "can't continue".

Act like civilized human beings and i could understand and support your cause.

For example, the women's rights march that took place yesterday. It WAS a peaceful protest. THAT is how you gain results.

Yes, i said that. That was in clear reference to the violent protestors that they can't not continue. Dude, come on. Do you know how to read? I mean jesus.

Glock- wrote Yes, i said that. That was in clear reference to the violent protestors that they can't not continue. Dude, come on. Do you know how to read? I mean jesus.

So crack down on the people who are trying to incite a riot. You don't generalize the thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors as being the same as those few bad actors.

It's just a flat out lie to say that the 90% of protests in America are violent. It's a flat out lie to say that even 25% of the protests in America are violent.
