Protests where the police view the protesters as "the enemy" are far more likely to result in violence than protests where the police are actively protecting the constititutional right to protest. See, for example, the 1968 Chicago Democratic convention police riots.
So what's the common thread? Is it really "lefty" violence? Or is it that police tend to protect the status quo, view "lefties" as a threat to that status quo, and thus tend to resort to violence to quell the protest?
I'm not saying protests can't be violent, or that there weren't times when BLM protesters actively tried to damage federal buildings. But I am saying that your reduction of left vs right violent protests is BS.

You can also discuss how it has been "lefty" agitation that has progressed this country beyond Jim Crow, beyond same-sex marriage, beyond so many outdated policies.Originally posted by LVAllen View PostProtests where the police view the protesters as "the enemy" are far more likely to result in violence than protests where the police are actively protecting the constititutional right to protest.

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Hey if we're back at a place where we're investing in social causes around the world then I welcome Trump's conversion!"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

How have we not talked about Donald J. Trump dumping shit on the No Kings protesters from an F-16 with the words "KING TRUMP" on the side and a Crown on his head via a Truth Social post????????
How can anyone take this man seriously?

Genuine curious- what about the AI video did you find funny?Originally posted by Shaka View PostI saw a pic of a girl I used to date, and was considering dating again, at the Utah No Kings rally.
Then I saw King Trump's fighter pilot persona troll video.
I laughed.
I'm no longer considering giving the girl another shot.
