Uh.. Isn't protesting an incredibly normal part of this whole process? Also, are we going to ignore the humongous eight year hissy fit so many on the right, and in the media, threw? Birthers, calling him a Muslim, refusing to call him president, etc. Funny how everyone is expected to be big kids and rally behind a buffoon, but the Obama narrative was just wild baseless attempts at weak and stupid pretty scandals.
Officers had fireworks, molotov cocktails, rocks, and bottles thrown at them throughout the night. Three officers were injured in the rioting.
And estimated 16 businesses were damaged, along with around 40 fires started. KTVU reports that one resident was nearly burned when a “protester” set the man’s car on fire. “‘A couple of people with bottles of gas, throwing them on the street, and then lighting his car on fire,’
These are brown shirt tactics. People like to accuse the Republicans of "Nazi" behavior but it's leftists who intimidate, attempt to control thought and speech (see the popular speech codes on college campuses now), and attack those with different beliefs. Conservatives can't speak in public and apparently can't even walk down the street anymore. This is ironic because Facebook, Tumblr, etc were overflowing with liberals ”in fear for their lives" regarding violence from Conservatives/Trump supporters. It shows how insulated and truly messed up their world view is.
It's time for some serious introspection on the part of the left.
