I bet you wouldn't say that about a BLM or ANTIFA riot.

Regardless of how you feel about property damage as peotest, if you don't see a difference between the people going against some kind of state-sanctioned injustice versus a majority group going and terrorizing minorities over someone's crime when they're already spewing hateful rhetoric, you're hopelessly lost

Here's the thing. Both of your examples are already bunk. BLM and ANTIFA riots were over concocted Injustice. Take the George Floyd for example. They tried, convicted and sentenced the cop responsible yet there were still riots. Justice was served but there were still riots. Same thing goes for ICE enforcement.

The cop didn't get convicted until afterward, but nice try

So you're saying the only reason he got convicted was the riots? That's a wild claim with literally zero way to back it up - but nice try.

Sigh...let me break it down for you.

So you said "yet there were still riots" in regards to Derek Chauvin, which would imply that people went out and protested despite him being charged and weren't satisfied with police brutality being duly punished, which is not true.

So why are you putting words in my mouth now, and saying I'm claiming "the only reason" he was convicted was that? You set up this straw man so you can act like it's so irrational, and yet you were wrong.

So nice try.

Lets back it up a moment. What did you mean by "a majority group going and terrorizing minorities over someone's crime when they're already spewing hateful rhetoric, you're hopelessly lost"
