Rioters or protesters

Your comment is usual was ludicrous. When protesters have a target other than walking peacefully with their little Signs and Banners. With frozen bottles of water backpacks filled with bricks and other assorted instruments of destruction is becomes a riot plain and simple. In my “warped” mind, swift policing up to and including beatdowns and arrests are an absolute necessity for the safety of the general public that lives down the street. Glad we could talk it out. PS. We don’t need more Sanctuary cities.

Look, mags, you clearly are getting your misinformation from some crazy alt-right sources. Yes, rioting has happened, but rioting is not the intention before the demonstrations. And the backpacks of bricks and frozen water bottles are nonsense alt-right talking points. Most of these conspiracy theories have been debunked, while others are simply unproven. Also, you’re mixing up your conspiracy theories, it was pallets of bricks that Trump himself claimed were placed strategically by Antifa. Which is nonsense on many levels, first of which is that Antifa isn’t an organization. There is an anti-facism movement often called antifa, but those are small groups of people with no centralized leadership or connection to other groups. This is fear-mongering aimed at deflecting attention and dividing people and we’re all falling for it.
