ummm.................. All the leftist politicians and commentators. Same as when they suggested that the riots in 2020 were peaceful while there were pictures of buildings on fire in the background.
They said “riots don’t exist”???

Haven't you heard? Riots don't exists. Whatever you think you've seen is either a figment of your imagination or a right-wing illusion.
I think that’s just you guys trying to conflate these two words as being the same. Riots and protests are two different things. There are ongoing protests against the ICE raids. There is no riot happening. Two different things. Glad I could help clear things up.

There WERE riots happening. To pretend otherwise is to deny the facts.

Who is denying that? There were several threads on that back when it was a relevant story but I’m glad to see at least one of you recognize it’s not an ongoing thing anymore.

Planned protests are fine. Planned riots are against the law. See, one is peaceful and one is not. The ones where they come storming in with riot gear on and attacking the law enforcement officers are not peaceful.
Everyone agrees that riots are bad, m’kay?

Sure, everyone agrees with that in spirit, but not everyone recognizes non-peaceful protests when they see them, especially when the leftist media and the leftist politicians are operating in full-on gaslighting.

Are you using “leftist” as a pejorative?

Ozso was speaking sarcastically. I suggest you go back and read it in that light.
Oh, I stopped taking the things I read here very seriously a long time ago. Thanks.

Don't call them protests, they were community gatherings.

Okay, how many vehicles should we let them burn, how many boulders can they drop on cars off overpasses and how many stores can they loot before the police take action?
Hey they should be allowed to burn as many as they want and loot as much as they want. Haven't you heard? Cops should only protect people not property. They shouldnt intervene in any of it until someone's life is in danger.

Thankfully we haven't seen the rioting from tge left we saw i 2020. Protests are fine as long as they aren't actually preventing ICE from doing their jobs. I mean protesting is what the left does. Many of them paid or professional protestors. Most of these groups involved are all organizations that have ties to the Democratic Party in their funding. And they fund these things.

So as long as they want to march around with their little signs, have at it. Its perfectly acceptable ad long as they are not doing illegal things while doing so. If they are round them up.
