It also debunks the "mostly peaceful" narrative the msm is running to give cover to the Marxists and anarchists.
Yep. 95% of them being peaceful hardly qualifies for "mostly peaceful" :roll:
And American Airlines Flight 11 on 9/11/2001 was 99.9% peaceful during its flight. :lol: :dunce:

BTW, more people have died during these "peaceful protests" in comparison to what they are allegedly protesting over (blacks killed by cops). Tells you all you need to know. :coffee:

Should we be cracking down on the rioting, looting and violence? Yes. Is freaking out about it and acting like the end of the republic is nigh really that different than the people who are freaking out about police brutality and acting like the end of the republic is nigh? No.

Way too many snowflakes running around on both sides of this debate looking for reasons to be scared and outraged.

It won’t be the end of the Republic but there’s reason to expect a shitshow of rioting and increase in violence.

I’m just disappointed and becoming less trustful of people. I was waiting until my 70’s to become a Clenz or Grizza.

Try being a used tractor salesman. It is easier to trust people when the check clears the bank. :D

What are the reasons?
1) armed idiots from both sides on the streets.

2) Inability or desire of local law enforcement to keep things in check.

3). Need to send in federal LE controlled by this administration.

There’s a decent chance that Trump will come out Tuesday evening with a lead. That lead will disappear as mail in ballots come in. Would you be surprised if Trump preemptively claims victory only to have the election stolen from him as votes are tallied and state results are finalized? Even if it’s just an excuse for being a loser?

You forget #4 - elected officials unwilling to instruct law enforcement to do anything to keep things in check.

I was worried you were going to go down a Tripespierrian rabbit hole of the rich are too rich and the poor too poor and Amerikkka needs to burn to the ground to be cleansed as a reason.

There are all sorts of possible scenarios where Trump or Biden's supporters claim the election was stolen. Am I concerned? Yes. Can I do anything about it? Not really.

I think it’s highly likely that no matter WHO loses they’ll refuse to concede and claim it was stolen. Hell, Hildabeast has ALREADY told Biden not to concede when he inevitably is behind on election night.

The reason to "freak out" is because one party of our 2 party system has enabled and endorsed such behavior. There is a "vote blue or else" tone to these protests and it hasn't been covert. Also assuming these riots will stop if Biden wins is pretty naive as well.

I think it's worse than unwilling to instruct, in many cases they instructed not to respond.

About an hour later, officers were flagged down by a witness, who pointed out the suspect – a man in a nearby tent.
Officers arrested the man, who confirmed he lit the fire with a Molotov cocktail. Police seized a plastic bottle with a wick as evidence.
The suspect, identified as Domingo Lopez Jr., was booked into the Multnomah County Jail. Lopez was then released. Hours later, at 3:37 a.m. Monday, officers responded again to assist PF&R after more fires were reported along the interstate. Six small fires were lit along the west side of I-205. Police said firefighters extinguished three of them while passing community members put out the other three. All were caught early. No one was injured and no structures were burnt. Officers located Lopez walking along the shoulder and arrested him again. A light was seized as evidence.

He's probably just a homeless guy with mental health issuers (there are a lot of homeless encampments along and near I-205) and not active in Antifa or BLM. Trying to tie him to Antifa/BLM appears to be fear-mongering.
