So is it a peaceful protest or not?

2 shot, more than 100 people arrested, 13 officers injured amid widespread downtown looting
Two people were shot, more than 100 people were arrested and 13 police officers were injured as crowds broke windows and looted stores along Michigan Avenue and on the Near North Side overnight and into Monday morning.
“We are waking up in shock this morning,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot, calling it “brazen criminal looting and destruction.”
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown, who joined the mayor for a news conference at CPD headquarters Monday, called it “pure criminality” not connected to any peaceful protest.

So I hear the Police Superintendent refer to this as criminal, but is the media going to follow suit, or will this just be another "peaceful protest" that got a little out of hand. At some point in time more and more people will simply get tired of this and get tired of the excuses being provided. They will especially get tired of this sort of behavior being normalized.

Bill Barr calls the Black Lives Matter movement a terrorist threat. But he hasn't said anything about this shit!

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Arraignment was postponed Thursday in Nevada state court for three men accused of plotting to firebomb a Las Vegas racial injustice protest in May to spark violence and advance views of an extremist anti-government “boogaloo” group.

The men already are scheduled for trial Nov. 31 in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas on federal conspiracy and firearm charges.

They were arrested together May 30 by police and the FBI while allegedly preparing gasoline-rag-and-glass-bottle firebombs on the way to a Las Vegas protest following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

White Supremacist Movements are part of the President's base, and he doesn't mention it!

Trump's support for Vladimir Putin is based upon his total ignorance of Putin's campaign to recreate the Soviet Union.

Putin is not trying to to recreate the Soviet Union. He's trying to recreate the Russian Empire with him as czar.

And Trump has a funny way of showing his support by slapping sanctions on his cronies.

Today the intellectual leaders of the Republican Party are the paranoids, kooks, know-nothings, and bigots who once could be heard only on late-night talk shows, the stations you listened to on long drives because it was hard to fall asleep while laughing.

Roger desperately trying to shift the mental degradation problem away from Biden onto Trump. Trump may be obnoxious, but Biden is genuinely losing his faculties. He had no business being president.
