“The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.”
“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.”
Martin Luther King said the above.
Protesting violence and hate with violence and hate is counter-productive.
I saw a car drive through a crowd, which parted for him and gave plenty of room for the car to drove by very slowly. People came up behind the car though, attacked it from behind...All the while the reporter using words like car careered through the crowd with obvious intent and disregard. That was clearly not the case, but thanks for lying to us media...As if we should be surprised.
Peaceful protesters peppered with those looking to incite trouble is always going to bring it. (Trouble.)
But hey, maybe looting a few pairs of Nike's, smashing the windows of businesses and defacing National monuments, together with bashing innocent people, will bring about the change the protesters all want huh? [Sarcasm]
Yes violence to 'correct' violence is idiocy, Dr Luther was a Smart Man!
The MSM lies most of the time and spins the stories the rest of the time; while ignoring the good....
At the Alamo, they showed up to deface and destroy; and met a Wall of armed Texans. They stopped that planned violence, and hurt no one; even though they outnumbered the attackers many times over. Defensive firearms, in civilian hands, stops violence; it is that simple.
I'm sure the MSM spun it that these armed white supremacists, threatened 'peaceful protesters' by the Alamo; totally ignoring the patriotic armed black Men, in the defensive lines there!
It is also important to address the fact that if the 'peaceful' protesters (AKA Looting rioters) had been the ones that had been armed, it would have been a bloodbath, and the Alamo would still be burning!
Look at my post on the Magic bricks....
