It's one of the results of activist media, as they become more involved in protests and demonstrations they face higher and higher risk when they turn violent. They are no longer thought of as "neutral" parties just recording events, but as the drivers and inciters of the violence for profit and fame motives.

so you're endlessly butthurt that just about everyone but you has innumerable valid reasons to hate this spineless incompetent boob that you support--by far the least popular flesh bag ever to be elected POTUS?

This thread will continue to watch various violent and criminal Anti-Trump protests that take place during his Presidency. If it's just a peaceful and constitutional protest it really shouldn't be included in this thread. There's always going to be some overlap, but try to focus on illegal and violent actions from the various hate groups opposed to President Trump.

"“They began to destroy property, throw objects at people, through windows. A large percentage of this small group was armed with crowbars and hammers,” said the city’s interim police chief, Peter Newsham."

"Footage shot by MRC Culture and CNSNews.com shows protestors vandalizing local businesses, destroying a limousine with hammers, spray-painting on walls and windows, smashing kiosks, and chanting “no cops, no borders, fight law and order.”

More to come, i'm sure.

Why am I reminded of Hitler's Brown Shirts and SS stripping of their uniforms to riot as a fake civilian mob?
 
liberals burning and destroying stuff because they didn't get their way? No way. The liberal news keeps telling us how its the right that is all destructive and deplorable.

Yep, we agree. We really need to take a look at what lies underneath. Perversely perhaps I got some crap, not a lot, when I said the same thing about populist movements in the US and Europe and that lumping them all as racist wasn't sufficient. Same mentality different sides.

I'm thinking that taking advantage of any label to avoid thought about any group isn't a wise thing to do, be it Trump or Europeans discontent with immigrants. Oh well, as you may have noticed I tend to gore a lot of oxen.

Pretty obvious why it's in your interest to ignored all data on the matter and the rather clear implication of white trump types blaming all their problems on mexicans picking fruit and busing tables.

Some days I will play with you. Not feeling it today, sorry. Maybe you can convince others here of your claims about me. Good luck with that, but I don't really care either way. Please, continue looking foolish. I'll pay attention to those who are more thoughtful. K THX.

When did the media actually incite riots? Oh right, they didn't. They have to cover protests because they're news. And did you really think no one would protest Trump given his hateful policies?

As MLK put it: "A riot is the language of the unheard." And when Trump refuses to listen to women, non-whites, LGBT people and anyone who isn't rich... well, that's a lot of unheard people. I don't think people should riot, but it's perfectly understandable why they are in these circumstances.

I hope you realize it's white males that are doing most of the rioting right now.

Yes. Reporting on stories that put class- and race-baiting liberals in a bad light is not to be permitted. It's commie propaganda. Watch the Women's March on RealNews(tm) and shut your mouth. Be a good little citizen. Everyone knows this.

millions of not only Americans, but people around the world marched peacefully today.

that's reality and factual, this thread is nothing more than attempt to cherry pick any potentially controversial incidences and portray that as the narrative instead of the millions of peaceful protesters.

it's typical propaganda.

You can make the "few bad apples" argument about anything. Why do we report on terrorist attacks when so few of them happen as a percentage of things that happen otherwise? Why do we report on spree killings when most people with guns just shoot at the range or maybe some deer? Why do we report on child rapists when most people don't rape children?

very well said, and linking some rightwing news sites as a viable news source, eeesh. tajjy is nothing more than a whiny snowflake.

"millions" what are you counting? It sure wasn't people.
 
Not that I take Madonna wanting to blow something seriously, it seems the Secret Service is going to investigate her for saying she thought about blowing up the White House now that President Trump is in it. Just more threatened violence from the left.

"The Secret Service has reportedly said they will open an investigation into Madonna after the singer told the Women's March on Washington that she had thought about 'blowing up the White House'."

Keep in mind this sort of bluster hasn't worked out so well for chucky/londo either.

Would you agree with Hayabusa Rider that people protesting against Trump are about equivalent to the white nationalists supremacists? Or are they worse as import claims?

I genuinely have nothing against the apparent million that did their march today in DC. I don't particularly care about them either, but assuming they went through the proper channels and weren't blocking freeways illegally or anything (which is my understanding of the matter), I'm fine with them doing their thing. I don't think their protests are an attack on democracy as some have implied.

ANTIFA, masked thugs that carry weapons and paint, assaulting people/damaging property only to then scurry away, more pathetic yet hiding behind cops when someone fights back, are worse than any current alt-right/white nationalist protestors I'm aware of.
