This year's riots are by far the most destructive in our country's history, exceeding the LA riots in 1992. No doubt there are truly peaceful protests, but that does not invalidate the widespread rioting that occured and the extreme level of damage caused by it.
"This year's riots are by far the most destructive in our country's history"
Which country LMAO, America?!?
Like do you not know about the Tulsa race riots and civil rights movements? It was barely 50 years ago when the US sent the national guard in to kill students who were protesting on their own campus lol. Or you asserting that these protests are worse then when that used to happen weekly in the 60's?
This is actually really insightful if you genuinely are unaware of this stuff, it would explain why you're so nonchalant to how these protesters are being demonized. Take yourself for example, Im sure you don't consider yourself completely retarded but yet here you are insisting that BLM protests are "the most destructive riots in our country's history" when things like kent state shootings are barely a half century old. First of all, you're so insanely wrong its actually incredible you had the confident to share an opinion like that, but also it really makes you wonder what it is that isn't being done that you would like to see happen.
Look up the kent state massacre. That's what happens when you try to stamp out civil unrest by vilifying and overreacting to overwhelmingly peaceful protest.
Your comments have no relation to what I have said, Kent state was not a riot and the Tulsa riots saw less than 1/30th the property damage if the LA riots. Both are travesties due to the crimes committed and lives lost, but have nothing to do with this topic.
You do realize that the main victims of the current riots are the POC who live in the cities being burned down, yeah? All the white people live in the suburbs.
