protests against police violence... the solution

[Tenzing_Norgay]

Hosing them down or tear gassing them just because you don't agree is right out of the tin pot dictator playbook.

No one in this post said anything about using these methods against peaceful protestors. The second you pick up a rock or a Molotov cocktail, you should be mowed down with lead, and lots of it.

I don't think any of us have any issues with peaceful protest. I've taken part in peaceful protest in past and fully expected to be able to do so. I think what people have issues with are those who are using this opportunity to cause "troubles" in the name of protest.

Too many people are conflating "protesters" with "rioters"

Yea I read a little too much into some of the posts and went a bit off track. Meant to focus on the subject matter of the original post, the cause of the protests and solution to the issue at hand.

Here's a wild concept:

Aren't there other forms of protest, besides marching in mass (in a pandemic), where nefarious violent elements can easily infiltrate, that might be better targeted? I am thinking of the Birmingham bus boycott as one example (the lunch counter sit-ins were another).

It seems to me "let's hit the streets" is a bit lazy and reckless. The Boston Tea Party example that lefties like to cite as proof of...something...is yet another example--a smart, targeted protest.. The Boston Massacre, some 3 years earlier, on the other hand, was precisely the result of a lazy "let's hit the streets." Just mobbing the streets seems to invite violence all too often.

You'd think, but you can't loot, burn, vandalize and even attack INNOCIENT AMERICANS and murder LEO.

There have been elected DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST POLITICAL LEADERS condone these acts nationally on TV.

So when you've got elected officials of this party of treason openly encouraging these riots and yes even attacks and murdering of people. I say condone it because they most certainly did not tell them to stop it or even address it.

These thugs will not stop as long as they have the backing and financial support of the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS PARTY. Because some are even sending money to help bail them out of jail. Even Biden's campaign is sending money to bail out uh....so called protesters/rioters.

My question is if ANTIFA is made a DOMESTIC TERRORIST organization. Will the people giving financial support be violating the law.

Also most everyone arrested was looting, burning, vandalizing property. Plus committed attacks against other people. Did this money bail them out of jail. You bet it did.

My concept of this is to follow the money trail now. To see whose is supporting these terrorists extremist. I will not be surprised who's doing it. Since some are openly doing it.
