Riots and Protests Starting...

[cobber]

It's time to bust out the fire hoses and national guard.

How about fire hoses that spray Skittles, and police mounted on unicorns?

Just an organized destruction of property that didn't belong to them?

No. There was a lot more to it than that. To compare the two events is nonsense.

So violence and destruction of property IS justified depending on the situation?

Kut, these are not equivalents and you know it.

Feel free to explain to me what a mob of disguised men, breaking into a place that isn't their own, and subsequently destroying property that isn't their own, is.

Race riot == Boston Tea Party? You can pick out one common element to both but that in no way makes them moral equivalents.

Race riots? Now I'm confused. Where are the race riots?

People listen to rhetoric, and some buy into it.

There's definitely a well stocked supply of idiots on both sides of the fence. Instead of building a wall I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Trump will realize what happened Tuesday and become a true president. Being an outsider, I'm again hoping that he will rise up become a leader that somehow manages to start the healing.

You can dream can't you?

We were talking about the rioting going on and someone mentioned the BLM riots. I remember you sort of making this same argument in those threads. It's relevant. Whether race or political riots, they are indiscriminate mob violence.

This discussion we're having distills to the notion that one man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. That's also nonsense.

Commando raid. When those guys broke into Bin Ladin's compound in Pakistan, was that a protest?

The events from 2 May 12 were well planned, well coordinated and well executed violence conducted by highly trained, well equipped, and really bad dudes. I'll need to think on the comparison for a while.

Keep in mind the question I was answering (quoted)

So why are police shotguns called "riot guns" ?

 

[dudley0]

Because they are so fun to shoot?
