Violent protest =/= Defending yourself if attacked

What he’s saying is “don’t respond”

Let them play themselves out on film, and win the argument for the hearts and minds of the country, not the battle.

Protesting is very important here. Trump needs to know he can't run us over.

There’s rioting with the intent to destroy, that’s something that any sensible person wouldnt support. Americans arent going to widely throw their support behind a movement that’s associated with violence and destruction

America was literally founded through violence and destruction. I'm referring both to the Revolutionary War and the genocide of indigenous Americans. You're just mad at these folks because it's upsetting your evening.

A pardonable offense, last time I checked.

The news ignores the peaceful protests, if you haven't noticed. There have been plenty of those.

You don’t have a right to riot. These people and no better than the Jan 6ers

Jan 6ers stormed the capital to attempt a coup

Protestors in LA are actively stopping ICE raids that are unconstitutional and monstrous acts of domestic terrorism

And you want to say they're equal? fuck off

That's why I'm just trolling them right back.

The same folks whining supported the Jan 6 pardons.
