As I pointed out earlier, even someone with a long history of agitation has finally figured this out:

On Friday morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe Sharpton complained to the rioters that the goal of a fair criminal justice system wouldn't be achieved by "appearing" to be criminal themselves and then added "some of the stores that are being damaged are black-owned stores! So we cannot become so reckless that we are destroying each other in our rage."

John Fea's description is rather interesting:
I completely agree. The problem could get significantly worse though. Not only has Trump lost all moral authority. So many of his followers have lost their integrity, their moral authority and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong that that it is going to be possible for what is even worse to happen. The stop signs were burned long ago.

Why aren't the conservatives out there being "good lawfully abiding peaceful" protesters then?

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostYes, I'm sure that burning building was set afire by all of the protesters. All three hundred of them, walked up there and simultaniously lit it on fire.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostOne is forced to ponder the mystery of why these professional rioters don't seem to show up at conservative protests. It's like they think that one group will provide much better cover than the other one will. Or maybe that the mayors of these cities where they show up are much more tolerant of and lenient toward liberal groups so being associated with them can come in handy if you get arrested (likely the charges will be dropped unless you were arrested for attacking them or any other first responders)

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostPerhaps you would like to explain why this sort of thing almost never happens when conservatives protest but is almost a given when the left does.
Also you tend to define peaceful protests as conservative. Remember Charlottesville?

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI also made it clear there are exceptions. But that doesn't change the fact that conservative protests are typically peaceful whereas leftist one nearly always result in rioting (and yes there are a handful of exceptions there as well).
So why is this?
And I don't support violence, and cannot tell you what an explanation would be if it were happening.
Because protests tend to not accomplish much and can easily get out of control.
