| If what we've seen so far as a result of "peaceful protests" doesn't qualify as rioting...could someone please help me understand what rioting would look like? Let's even be intentionally naive for a minute and assume that the organizers don't know exactly what they are instigating when they choose the neighborhoods and get the word out for these "peaceful protests". This looks really similar to what the Facists in Germany did to Jewish business owners. Was that peaceful protest? By the way, the Facists were pretty convinced that they were "punching up",not "punching down". Does the right to peaceful protest also include the right to shut down essential transportation and businesses? Do they have the right to intimidate to the point where business get boarded up before nightfall? To the point where I send my wife and children to stay with her parents? I need help understanding the line between peaceful protest and riot, because if it hasn't been crossed hundreds of times this year, I'm way out of touch with the new definitions. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @EbaySeller you forgot to mention their right to do all this during the middle of a pandemic without a single Democratic leader capable of criticizing the actions of any individual that may potentially vote for their party. | ||

| It would be nice if both sides could behave and agree that looting is wrong and work together to make a better US. .....but not going to happen in my lifetime |

Quote:Originally Posted by poka @poka I'm afraid your right and the ramifications may be far greater than we are willing to wrap our heads around right now. If you were an odds-maker, what would you put the odds of either side conceding the election, even 3-4 weeks after? From what I'm seeing I think there is a less than 25% chance that either side will ever officially concede. That could have some serious domestic and global ramifications. |

| @CaptainCanuck we can always seek asylum at your place. Also, have you ever seen Rick Moranis or the guys from the show Rust Valley Restorers? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O The problem being that people, today and recently, are out-crying against exceptions to the rules. If we have "systemic" problems it's not race-related; It's qualified immunity, unions, etc. Back in MLK Jr's day, they had real human rights issues. They were divided by law. Today, everyone is just looking for something to be offended by. We're dividing ourselves. Last time I checked, the peaceful protests possibly contributed and/or led to good prosecutions of Floyd's murderer(s). These riots have accomplished nothing good. We have to condemn the riots. We must have a higher standard for our country and its citizens. Mindless civil unrest is completely unacceptable. |
