Reminds me of Kent State. Three days of rioting and we were told that it was a peaceful war protest. No one ever talks about why the National Guard were there in the first place and who requested them.

History isn't written by the winners. It's written by whoever's running the best propaganda operation.

Ironically it is often written by the Losers because the Winners have more shit to do and the Losers don't

This is fascinating and not something I had ever thought about, despite being forced to read loser Howard Zinn's A People's History Of The Untied States in high school. Thanks for linking this.

Are you saying that unarmed college students rioted for three days, looted, burned, and attacked and overwhelmed the local police to the point that the Democrat mayor of Kent begged the governor to send in the National Guard?

What did these unarmed college students use to cut the fire hoses as the firefighters were attempting to put out the ROTC building that they set ablaze, their teeth?

Yeah saw one in baltimore I think it was. I forget, but everything was cool and then 3-4 people tried to stand up to the cops. cops moved forward and more people tried to stop the police.

What do they think will happen? idiots

anyway police sprayed pepper spray and they all started crying.

Vegas metro deals with 300k guest a day on the strip. Some of the most highly trained crowd control in the world. 2000 protesters is a lot but you only have 100 who are looking to be violent. They stand out pretty fast. Metro identifies them. Then snatches them out of the crowd removing the antagonist.

Also the Portland police warned them for literally fifteen minutes straight to disburse.

Ask that person what they are actually protesting and what they want. They wont have a good answer for you peaceful or otherwise. There is no end goal.

Justice they tell me even thought Chauvin being arrested and charged and given due process of law is the very definition of justice.

Yup. The cop in this case got arrested. There's nothing more a protest could accomplish. It's not like it's official policy to indescriminately kill blacks, so they aren't trying to change those policies. Rioting definitely isn't going to make racist cops not racist.

And blacks aren't going to stop complaining about racism even if it were to completely cease to exist. It's an assumption and apparently good enough to riot.

Most of them realize that they can't say that they want every Trump supporter dead on live TV, so they end up stumbling.
