Rioters are not actually upset about George Floyd.

the looters, yes. The people that are actually peacefully protesting, no

I would believe you

Well the rioters and looters, but not the peaceful protesters

A whole new meaning to the term “Black Friday”

Yet people still keep lumping them all into a single category.

Youre an idiot.

Really? Because you had some bad people on one side but you also had some very fine people there just protesting the senseless death of yet another African-American man. But all Trump could talk about was Antifa. From what I've seen of their clashes in Portland with the Proud Boys, Antifa are mostly white. Yet there are also a lot of African-Americans out there protesting. So why did Trump initially jump all over Antifa as if they're to blame for everything when there were also white supremacists there rioting and getting arrested for causing mayhem?

then why did he call all of the protesters "thugs"?

Here's the original quote:
“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.” So where does he talk about the very fine people who were peacefully protesting like Heather Heyer?

Trump later trying to explain why he took so long to denounce the neo-nazis at Charlottesville, (which is funny because he had no problem denouncing Antifa right away before even finding out who all was really out there in Minnesota rioting).

"when I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. A lot of the event didn't happen yet as we were speaking. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts, so I don't want to rush into a statement."

Then he goes on to praise David Duke: "I didn't know David Duke was there. I wanted to see the facts. And the facts, as they started coming out, were very well-stated. In fact, everybody said his statement was beautiful."

Then goes on to continue to blame the protesters even after Heather Heyer was run over and killed by a nazi: "I watched those very closely, much more closely than you people watched it. And you had, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I'll say it right now. You had a group – you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent."

Then yet again defending the very fine people in the neo-nazi group: "Those people were also there, because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue Robert E. Lee. So – excuse me – and you take a look at some of the groups and you see, and you’d know it if you were honest reporters, which in many cases you’re not. Many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee."

It's like you *wish* he was an awful person.

Except we don’t

Really? You want to actually take them all out and say they were no different from one another? Because I think the rioters should be stopped and the peaceful protesters should be kept safe.

If you simply want things to be stopped in terms of vandalism and rioting then yes I agree with you. Yes it must be stopped. However I do not see it being that easy because of the rioters blending in with the peaceful protesters. As a result they’re likely all going to be treated the same and as such hunted down the same too. I had though you supported that and that was my mistake. I apologize.

As I mentioned before, you’d be surprised how many people are perfectly fine with literally exterminating the protests/riots with lethal force. And that is regardless of side

Then vote and support someone else.. you enablers as bad as Satan himself...
