One need only look through history to disprove this.
Two names stick out immediately, but I am sure there are more…
Martin Luther King…
Gandhi…

I remember when the militants bombed the ROTC building in Madison back in the sixties and killed the student. At least one of the bombers is out of jail now and often on the campus, selling juice.I’m so thankful to God to have moved from Madison to a more rural area of WI.

When we saw the pictures in the post office the thought was that one guy sure had a baby face to be a bomber.
I’m just scared that the protests will have a bad effect on Biden’s chances in Wisconsin.

I can totally agree with defending oneself and the community. I have a soft spot for the Black Panthers for that reason, as did the libertarian movement here like Karl Hess and Murray Rothbard. But the indiscriminate targeting of businesses and people going on now? Ridiculous.

Agreed. Let’s hope and pray that justices is served and these officers are prosecuted to the fullest extend warranted.One cannot excuse criminal behavior.

Excusing bad acts with illogic seems a behavior of conservatives.Name calling is a criminal act equivalent to rioting and assault?
It is an effort to drag this thread into a bash Trump direction… regardless of what the original topic.Name calling is a criminal act equivalent to rioting and assault?
Most people would never draw the comparison.

Not exclusive to them, however. Bad acts have been excused by both sides for various reasons. It’s not like Trump is the first to do this.Excusing bad acts with illogic seems a behavior of conservatives.
As well as the rioters.Agreed. Let’s hope and pray that justices is served and these officers are prosecuted to the fullest extend warranted.

"Tu quoque’? The Jesuits would have a filed day with a comment like that.Not exclusive to them, however. Bad acts have been excused by both sides for various reasons. It’s not like Trump is the first to do this.

That’s nice. Too bad pointing out hypocrisy is sometimes necessary. Need I post the points about ‘whataboutism’ again?
And it is succeeding.It is an effort to drag this thread into a bash Trump direction…

Why did you bring up Trump to bash him for calling people names as an equivalent to arson, rioting and assault?Why don’t you just deal with the issue?

I don’t see how this is relevant.That’s why the Trump apologists sound so illogical when they excuse his lying and name-calling and other bad acts by stating " Well, he was attacked and he strikes back." Several of his media mouthpieces and several posters here have used that logic.
Honestly it would be nice to have a thread that doesn’t devolve into this kind of slinging match between Democratic Party or Republican Party supporters. I don’t really see how this is an issue that implicates one party over another, but I’m sure someone will find a way to make it so. It’s just boring, and normally relies on simply misrepresenting the facts (like claiming that one party supports or is secretly funding the rioting or something).

Very simple: Two examples of illogical reactions.I don’t see how this is relevant.

It’s derailing the thread. And for someone who accused me of tu quoque…Very simple: Two examples of illogical reactions.
From reading other threads, it seems likely you both have a radically different viewpoint then I.I don’t see how this is relevant.
It is a shame we cannot dialogue on it without politics being brought in.

Nor do I as long as it fits certain well defined parameters. All other means of redress have failed, it has a chance to succeed, and does not cause violence to the civilian population.

No. You actually need to be willing to change your voting pattern. These cities have been run by the same people, Party, and philosophy for 5, 6, 7 decades with the same results. The definition of insanity comes to mind: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.You need to cause economic and social disruption for your movement to become anything but a campaigning opportunity for a national party or a broader cause of the ruling class.
Actually, it hasn’t been many times. Once is too often, but the contention that this happens a lot is simply false. And the claim that these incidents are racially motivated often lacks evidence. So far, that is still the case in the Floyd/ Chauvin event. And there is no evidence of it yet in Atlanta or Kenosha.This has happened before many times, and will probably happen again before the year is out.
No, it isn’t a class issue, but if it is, we know which part of the American political spectrum is responsible: the party and philosophy that has been in charge for decades in the cities.This is a class issue. A subsection of the American working class is kept in congenital poverty, subject to higher crime rates and overpolicing.
