@sleepyguy saidThere were no "BLM riots".
I don't know what to think, which is why I'm asking the question. This election feels different. Dems seem to keep repeating that Repubs are a "threat to our Democracy" and so on. After the BLM riots it seems reasonable to expect more of the same.
BLM helped organize demonstrations against excessive police violence (which is at levels in the US unheard of in "First World" countries) which drew tens of millions of protestors but the group never supported nor condoned rioting.
This remains true no matter how many times right wingers lie and claim differently.
@no1marauder saidLefty Commie Riots then. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Will there be more lefty commie riots if the GOP wins big next week?

@no1marauder saidYou mean all those businesses that got burned down in cities all over America were just "demonstrations" against police brutality?

You are just lying to yourself.
@sleepyguy saidThe riots were triggered by instances of police violence especially against minorities. This has occurred many times in the past, long before BLM and independent of any election results.

It seems far more likely that any violent reaction to election results would come from the side of the political spectrum that rioters in Washington on January 6, 2021 and that is now sending armed men to harass voters dropping off ballots.
@sleepyguy saidWhen was the last such riot that you know of?

@no1marauder saidSo how are you and your comrades doing with your excessive police force movement? Did you get those bstrds yet?

@jj-adams saidI'm not saying the libs here burned down the CVS in my maid's neighborhood, but can y'all tell us why they do that? I cannot imagine the mindset.

@averagejoe1 saidSimilar reasons as the Boston Tea Party

@averagejoe1 saidThere have been some convictions of police for use of excessive force in the last two years that would have been unlikely before the BLM movement gained national recognition.
So how are you and your comrades doing with your excessive police force movement? Did you get those bstrds yet?
@no1marauder saidNo they just organized peaceful protests, which, gosh darn it, just kept turning into riots.
I mean what I said - that the organization BLM was a nonviolent movement that had nothing to do with any riots.

@sleepyguy saidActually the demonstrations didn't as you well know. If the millions or even a significant portion of those who demonstrated had engaged in rioting there would have been damage on a scale beyond any urban disturbance in US history.

@athousandyoung saidIt was a nightly occurrence in Portland for quite while. But what went on in DC during Trump's inauguration is perhaps a better example since it was directly following a big GOP win.

@no1marauder saidJust the thought of it really gets you you goin, eh no1?

@sleepyguy saidNot much death inflicted in DC by anti Trump protests. A handful of police got minor injuries.
