    Can you explain why peaceful protest turn violent when the sun goes down?

    Can you explain how a person can be right in the midst of violent protest almost get shot and still claim its mostly peaceful?

    Yes,to " normalize ".That is part of Community Organizing.Get the populace
    used to nutty acts and worthless banter.Make every slightly questionable act
    in a cop shooting of a black as major headlines.
    Make nutty comments like the black guy shot to death in Charlotte was
    going back to his vehicle to get a Book he was reading when Cops loudly
    instructed to STOP.

    So a non answer and a roundabout answer saying you agree they were not mostly peaceful.. You cant type that out though you have to be careful that way you can claim you didnt say it.

    Easier to loot from businesses and homes with the cover of darkness.

    Don't expect to get much out of the riot supporters

    I was referring to other peaceful protests that don't include Charlotte. That's why I mentioned "other protests."

    It still shows a double standard. You're arguing that the right should not be bothered by a handful of violent protests because most of them are peaceful, yet you're bothered by a handful of violent encounters by the police even though most interactions are peaceful. Care to explain?

    A good chunk of protests are intended to be and actually are peaceful, that's fine. Some aren't, and thought that's bad it's not a new thing.

    Hope you all are exercising your 2nd Amendment right in Charlotte. Any of the bigots try and loot your place, give them the treatment.

    This thread is more concerned with the actual violence that is occurring in Charlotte and other left-wing areas, by left-wing people. Clearly, in your mind, mobs of people knocking people out and trying to throw people in fires is equal to the following comments, made by anonymous screen names on an internet message board:

    I'll let people decide on their own whether I should have objected to these comments as forcefully as I objected to the attempted throwing of an unconscious man into a fire. In my mind, the two are not equal, like you apparently believe they are.

    But I find it interesting how 99% of your contributions to this thread so far (which is similar to what is seen in other, similar threads) is arguing about "right-wing violence". The only comment you made about left-wing violence (the topic of this thread) is that it's "despicable". You then immediately shifted the conversation to right-wing violence. Why is that? It's an odd pattern for someone who apparently condemns both sides equally.

    I think Geraldo did get something right last night on - Hannity -.
    At around 10:30 edt he made the comment that the crowd from earlier
    in the evening is gone and that now the Pros are around.The Professional
    Agitators.meaning there are Professional Protest Agitators.
    Meaning Not protestors at all.But Agitators.We learned that a lot of BLM
    members were paid recruits.Some from college,looking for a few extra bucks.
    George Soros originally funded BLM with $ 33 Million seed money.
    North Carolina is a close race because North Carolina is a big College/University
    state.That means a lot of College kids are being usurped and influenced by
    Liberal Professors.Obama won Ohio on the backs of Liberal practices at
    Ohio State university.Don't forget the long lines at Polling places near College
    campus in ohio.They had to extend voting hrs.I say a lot of those college kids used fake
    Students ID's to vote.One county in Ohio had 108% Democrat votes recorded.
    That would be 8% more than ALL democrats registered.
    Could explain the number of White Protestors last night.

    The same can be said about the nature of policing criminals, yet you support these riots, even though the overwhelming majority are peaceful encounters.

    Yes, they are, but peaceful protests don't always make an interesting headline in the news, now does it?

    So you're supportive of the violence because it gets better coverage?

    Well one of the good things about last night was that the crowd of protestors
    didn't discriminate too much. A Couple photographers got pushed around.
    One was said to have been thrown into a fire.CNN had some person
    who got accosted.That might change the feeling around CNN which is
    run by this Jewish guy.Jews are chicken(*)(*)(*)(*) cowards.You'll never catch
    a jew when push comes to shove.How many jews were war heros.
    How many of Today's military are Jewish. ? Or the last 10-15 years.
    Jews run Hollywood and The Press.

    Clearly you aren't even following the conversation. The only equality I pointed out was that there are people on both sides trying to justify violence. Try again.

    I called them both despicable. The rest of my "contributions to this thread" have been the question I asked about Ben Franklin throwing reporters in a fire and responding to your responses to my original post.

    You seem very confused by the idea that condemning both sides equally involves condemning both sides. As for why, I've already answered why a couple of times now.

    Republicans seldom justify violence.Except in War and those warring who
    blatantly disregard the Geneva Convention rules of engagement.
    Cops use of force is necessary in order to maintain security.

    I clearly took issue with the left-wing protesters trying to throw someone into a fire, and the left-wing posters justifying and defending it. You took issue with me not addressing the right-wing comments about Kent State, the police throwing grenades, etc. I don't see these two things as equal, but you apparently do.

    What I'm perplexed by is why I can't find a single example of you going into a thread that deals with the topic of right-wing violence, and then trying to shift the conversation to left-wing violence. Can you point me to one? How about one thread where you've attempted to chastise a left-wing poster for not being even in his condemnation of both sides?

    We've had a rash of conservatives lately who seem to think that it is okay to shoot unarmed protestors and who think that any refusal or delay in obeying orders from the police justifies immediate execution. Similarly, we've had a rash of leftists who seek to justify riots or who practice the soft bigotry of low expectations, claiming that black rioters just get so darn mad about injustices that they are no longer accountable for their actions.

    I saw the video. I didn't see anyone trying to throw anyone into a fire. I saw a man on the ground and several people rush up to him, and lift him up to carry him away.

    Yes, I see left-wingers justifying violence and right-wingers justifying violence as equal. I don't see how you don't, but you apparently don't.

    I haven't noticed any such threads. I mostly post on threads when they come up on the PF homepage.

    As I mentioned before, I haven't found a conversation yet where a left-winger tries to claim that violence is a uniquely, or even mostly, right-wing problem. You let me know if you see one. The only thing I can think of that is comparable is when left-wingers try to say that a rejection of science is something that is uniquely or mostly a right-wing thing, which is of course untrue and brings up some of the same hypocrisies we're seeing here.

    Mark Furman { of OJ trial fame } had to explain why Cops are never instructed
    to say ... wound or shoot first in the leg or arm. Because studies have been done
    that when a cop shoots,they have virtually nanoseconds to take down a suspect.
    Nick an armed and dangerous suspect in the arm and leg and there's a good
    chance the cop will be the one taken down.Armed and dangerous suspects,are,
    after all ... trigger happy by nature.

    These people are not protesters. They are full fledged domestic terrorists striking fear in the public and should all be jailed as such! State of Emergency in place. Go home everyone or accept the consequences!
