Step 1. Riot and loot for weeks on end, trashing everything as you go.
Step 2. Claim Trump isn't doing anything to stop all the destruction.
Step 3. When trump does something, call everyone peaceful protesters.
Step 4. When the cops do whats necessary, claim brutality against peaceful protesters
Step 5. Blame Trump for sending in the feds

1. They sent the national guard to protect the statues and they were attacked and the criminals avoided arrest.
2. They then sent the police and the police were ambushed and the criminals avoided arrest.
3. Now they send unmarked vans and now they catch the protesters, and suddenly this is too much for you.

Cant help but think there's an absolutely, painfully obvious solution to all of this -- like I don't know... Don't riot and loot for a month straight and the cops won't show up... and then don't resist the arrest from the uniformed cops and the undercover ones wont show up instead..

Goodfellas Laugh | PEACEFUL PROTESTERS ! | image tagged in goodfellas laugh | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
There have been riots almost every night. "Peaceful Protesters" is just gaslighting by Leftists.

Hard data from June has shown that the majority of the protests are peaceful. And out of all of the ones that are not peaceful, just think about how many of them were started by police harassing and teargassing originally peaceful protesters.

I find it curious that Leftists defend peaceful protests, which is fine, but are completely silent about the rioting, burning and removal of statuary. Is that because you secretly agree with them or you just don't want to be bothered when other people's neighborhoods get destroyed?

Huh...why are you straw manning me? I never said I agree with rioting with looting, just that it's incredibly rare. I also said that a portion, not all, of the violent protesters were actually caused by the police. Most of the rioting and looting happened in the first week or two of the protests, and even then, most of them were still peaceful. What I do have a problem is when people like you characterize most of the protests as violent when that is demonstrably not the case, and use that false characterization to justify police brutality and misconduct.

This is not a strawman argument. I never put those words in your mouth. I asked a question and you thus far have failed to answer it. Why not try again?

I already answered your question. Are you blind? I literally said, I never said I agree with rioting and looting, meaning that I condemn them. You said that I secretly agree with the rioters and looters even though I never said that, which is a strawman.

Look up what a strawman argument is. I was asking, and you finally answered. Good for you. So if you're going to defend peaceful protesting, you should also make it clear you abhor the rioting because it's painting the protesting in a bad light.

I think when I have a conversation about protestors, it's a given that I condemn rioting and looting. I mean I have no problem making a disclaimer, but I'm highly confident that 99.9% of the left condemns rioting and looting. On your part, I think you should stop implying that most of the protests are tainted by violence when statistically, most of the protests were peaceful.

99.9% of the left, huh?

You know what, I'll be generous. I'll revise and say about 98% of the left condemns the rioting and the looting.
1 up, 4y
And you think of the left only 2% are communist? What about anarchists?
1 up, 4y
Naw, I'd guess over half the liberals condemn the violence and over half the leftists condone it. But whatever.
1 up, 4y
Yeah, when I talk about a communist, I mean someone who literally supports the USSR and Maoist China. And I guess there are some anarchists who might plausibly support rioting and looting as well, albeit both groups are pretty small in the left. Even then, the majority of the anarchists I see online condemn the riots and the looting. When I talked about the left, I included liberals, so if I don't include liberals, the percentage will decrease but still not by much. My point still stands that a vast majority of left leaning people if asked will condemn the rioting and the looting.

Ok. Probably the mob mentality kicks in too where people that had peaceful intent get swept up in the chaos and are all of a sudden kicking store windows in. But okay, if that's what you see, I'll accept it. Obviously most of antifa revel in it though.

The only people on that actually welcome rioting and looting are probably revolutionary communists. But outside of that, everyone else condemns them.

No they don’t, they make excuses to support it. They rarely say anything against it unless pressed, just like you.

So you are okay with the destruction of the property that belongs to others? Do I understand you correctly?

You're making jokes instead an giving answer to a serious question. My guess is you really don't care about the rioters or even may sympathize with them, so then your defense of the "peaceful Protesters" is just a smoke screen for the rioters. So you correct me where I'm wrong.

Sorry, replying to you wasn't my only priority today.

I don't think you are interested in honest and open discussion and this isn't the place to have it if you are.

Not all protestors are the same, I'll say it again. Violent tactics against peaceful protests are sickening.

Criminals looting and rioters protesting aren't the topic of this meme. I don't sympathize with criminals I sympathize with anyone treated unjustly or unfairly. And don't get on a soapbox about that either.

Statues being taken down is a cultural decision and some statues need to be removed.
0 ups, 4y
Whose f**king cultural decision you dimwit. That’s the point you do t get to make cultural decisions without following the democratic process. We are a nation of laws or we are nothing.
0 ups, 4y
Of course I'm interested, if I wasn't I wouldn't waste my time with you. I'm glad to hear that you are against the rioting. It took some effort to squeeze it out of you.

Statues should be taken down only through a vote of the local people not by a mob.

But you have a good rest of your day.

You're lumping all the rioters together and you are a fool to do so.

You defend peaceful protests which is fine, we agree there. You make no mention of almost 50 nights of rioting, burning and looting. I'm asking: is this the America YOU want?

Why did you even bring up looters when the meme had nothing to do with that? Why do you have such a hard time admitting the violent tactics used against actual peaceful protesters is sickening? Why can't you just admit that truth... the point of the meme?
3 ups, 4y
You don't answer my question, but pose one of your own. I brought it up honestly. You defend "peaceful Protesters", but say nothing about the amount of rioting that has been going on. I was interested in your answer and the fact that you can't give me an answer is just as interesting.

You should probably just admit that you secretly like the rioting don't you? Or tell me what I'm not understanding

So what exactly are the peaceful protestors protesting? That the feds won’t let them burn government property?
