    "Potential Life Sentences" don't mean much. Swipe someone's checkbook and write yourself 4 or 5 checks in my state then you are facing a potential life sentence because you are committing at least 2 felonies and 1 misdemeanor for each check, potentially 3 felonies depending on how much you wrote them for. You'll probably only get 0-3 active unless you have a history.

    How would a Senator "hold it down" what legality would they have?

    Of course.. Tuition has gone sky since the government backs the loans.. Do you think that is a coincidence? Remind me which party wants to pay off all Student loan debt again? Do you think those same greedy people would then lower tuition and why?

    You just want to yell and dont want to see what the issue is due to you seeing my screen name and go into default yell mode.

    Why do I get the feeling you're talking about all blacks even though the vast majority aren't demonstrating or being disruptive? What's next? Are you going to claim blacks are discriminated against?

    Do you give a damn about the disproportionate number of whites beaten, raped, robbed and murdered by blacks? The numbers are truly staggering. NOBODY is talking about the rising rate of interracial violence perpetrated by blacks and the fact that they are responsible for more interracial violence than all of the other races COMBINED!

    Because you are fantasizing or maybe racist? I have no idea why you think I am talking about only blacks. It could be that you are fantasizing, you aren't as smart as you are allowed to be maybe, assume everything is racist? I don't know why you came to such a stupid assumption. That's your problem to figure out. It's racist and totally wrong to assume that only blacks are looting and rioting. You should be ashamed for making such an assumption. Most of the violence in some of the cities is perpetuated by white spoiled skinny little basement dwelling self absorbed democrat Antifa pukes. There are a lot of blacks that are fighting to keep Antifa and BLM out of their neighborhoods. They don't want the destruction that those two groups create. They don't have problems with these two groups in Detroit because the city leadership (black liberals) won't tolerate rioting or destruction.

    I hope you live in a rural area. One of the reasons people (law-abiding, not senile, not crazy) want to be able to protect their family with firearms.
    Good for you--a working life of public service.
    "The left" is whom? If you're talking about Democrats generally, you're wrong. Antifa enjoyed some support from Democrats (something around 15%) until they turned violent, people saw what they're really about, and their support went to 5%.
    Looters and arsonists are criminals. It's not about self-expression. Many of these types are white.
    What we really need is better police protection.

    I don't know if I would shoot someone doing minor damage to my property, but if you enter my home uninvited you stand an excellent chance of of leaving with your shoe soles visible (if you know what I mean).

    The only politicians that I have seen act as apologists or rationalize or condone the actions of Antifa are Democrats. Just look at Seattle or Portland or LA or Chicago. Hardly anyone form the left has issued a strong condemnation against Antifa. There is even a Democrat candidate for mayor of Portland that embraces her title as "the antifa mayor". Antifa and BLM are the only two groups demanding that the police be defunded and several Democrats have done everything they can to facilitate that idiotic notion. It's a butt faced lie to say that the left isn't at least turning a blind eye to that violence of Antifa so that they can blame Trump for the violence. I know for a fact that I WOULD shoot someone if they entered my home with the intent of doing harm.

    After the peaceful protest is over? Gawking? Anyway, I don't think there are many "others" when the looting and burning begins.

    Protest marches weren't my way of getting public attention for causes, but I can understand their use because getting media attention is difficult.

    Pelosi condemned them.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/08/30/pelosi-condemns-violent-actions-of-antifa-protesters/

    Schiff, too.

    https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/democratic-republican-politicians-condemn-antifa-following-sundays-protest-in-berkeley/30592/

    Portland mayor Ted Wheeler.

    Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

    “When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

    Then there are rightwing types posing as Antifa...

    https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/white-supremacists-pose-as-antifa-online-call-for-violence-in-post-trump-jr-drew-attention-to-twitter/
    She won't be the mayor of Portland.
    You do know "defunding police" doesn't mean shutting down the police department--right?
    Again, who are "the left?" You'd be wrong if you were generalizing to Democrats.

    They want different things. I think in general they want more action, public and private, to end racism.

    You do know I was talking about a state senator?
    The factual record shows both parties have supported huge tuition increases.

    How about you? Are you opposed to high tuitions?
    You have a rather high opinion of your importance.
    Irrelevant.

    You'll have to ask them for specifics.

    You sidestepped my questions.
    You're still avoiding my questions.
    You're still avoiding my questions.
    Yes. As I pointed out, whites are rioting, too.
    Why are you making stuff up?
    More Antifa than BLM.
    Okay.

    See, what you know but are afraid to admit, there is NO REAL AGENDA for these people. They are bored, think they have a cause but cannot define what it is, so they gather based on social media alerts, which leads to the problem people that use these little bedwetters as cover and we are once again off to the races.

    Now, both of us will have to admit that it all starts with the "innocents" so lets both agree that if they would take time out and let things settle down, we all would be better off.

    Instead what we get is one of the leaders of the blm movement telling her followers that the looting in Chicago was justified and called it reparations. That idiot yesterday doubled down on her comments incenting others to partake in more of the same.

    The only solution I see is locking these fools up and throwing away the key before somebody gets hurt, but that won't work because Gorge Soros has funded the campaigns of every attorney general in large democrat controlled cities across America and these *******s just let the criminals out the minute they are arrested.
    Why I am wasting my time explaining this to a Canadian is beyond me.

    If "right wingers' were looting, burning, raping, (yes rape, see Florida) and destroying property you would not find a single living conservative anywhere that would recommend that they be released with no charges. Not one.
