Totally agree.I am all in for peaceful protesting, but when it comes to damaging property, disrupting other peoples lives, like lying down or sitting on city streets stopping traffic etc,etc. then I am all out.
besides damaging property, that's kind of the point of protesting. :/I am all in for peaceful protesting, but when it comes to damaging property, disrupting other peoples lives, like lying down or sitting on city streets stopping traffic etc,etc. then I am all out.
Unfortunately. Today it seems like it starts peaceful. Then someone throws a brick thru a window. And it’s on. Cars end up upside down. Looting. Businesses on fire. People shot. Etc. Happened 30 miles from me in Kenosha Wi a couple years ago.besides damaging property, that's kind of the point of protesting. :/
Usually it’s the police or groups like the Proud Boys starting crap to draw negative attention to peaceful protests. It’s only the police and militant groups showing up in riot gear and weapons to put down a bunch of people with placards and flowers.Unfortunately. Today it seems like it starts peaceful.

Kenosha Wi Link that will explain a bit about what happened in Kenosha. What I remember is it escalated rather quickly to out of control and the local police were overwhelmed. One of my coworkers lived close enough he could smell the fires. Burning buildings and vehicles.Usually it’s the police or groups like the Proud Boys starting crap to draw negative attention to peaceful protests.

I’m all for disruption. In the late ‘80s, the German government tried taking away several holidays and other benefits from German workers. The machinists union went on strike. When they did, not a single train or airplane moved for two days. Also, no Factory made parts and no one was in the power plants. They crippled the country, and kept their holidays.That’s why the U.S. is trying to bust all the unions(except the patrolmans unions). If only we had that strength here, we could see a lot of positive change made.
I’m not for the kind of disruption as the turd from Illinois killing people. But it was all over national news that he walked past police with a rifle, and they did nothing.Kenosha Wi Link that will explain a bit about what happened in Kenosha.

The 18 year old that shot three killing two came from Illinois. Many of the other rioters were also imports and not Kenosha residents. It was just a really ugly mess by the time it got under control.
Proof that proper protesting, makes a difference.Usually it’s the police or groups like the Proud Boys starting crap to draw negative attention to peaceful protests. It’s only the police and militant groups showing up in riot gear and weapons to put down a bunch of people with placards and flowers.

There were a lot of mistakes made in Kenosha…. By everyone involved. The shooter should have been convicted of something. But the local Prosecutor was outmanned by the kids lawyers that do these sort of cases all the time. Paid for by famous celebrities and a certain group that extolls the virtue of 2nd amendment. I am not anti 2nd amendment nor anti gun. But the kid had millions at his disposal for defense against a civil servant making peanuts. It was a no contest from the beginning.I’m not for the kind of disruption as the turd from Illinois killing people.
