Maybe....and yeah Portland wasn't anything close to peaceful. That was a shitshow. Obviously there were protests that turned violent. And a lot it was because people took an opportunity to go wilding. And obviously there were protests that turned violent solely because of the authorities (eg - DC when they attacked a peaceful crowd 30 minutes before curfew so Trump could get a photo op while holding a Bible upside down like a moron or that small town Georgia protests where the cops went nuts for no reason).

Personally, I think people who committed crimes should be prosecuted, both the protesters who turned violent and the authorities who exceeded reasonable force.

But I saw and participated in a ton of protests that weren't remotely violent.

My favorite protest was a dozen or so girls and women with BLM signs standing in the median of my small town's main drag. Terrifying...


And yeah none of this has jackshit to do with the January 6 team Retard coup attempt.
