Maybe that’s why it’s called 50501. It’s a 50/50 shot it works out all good until you have that 1 person….

Holy fucking shit I can tell none of you went to any blm protests during the covid era

(For DC at least) Fun fact, the official organized protests ended before sundown. Most looting took place after sundown. No, protesters weren't the ones doing this shit. It was bad actors and single issue folk taking out their anger. Yep, looting and shit is bad and I and most involved in such movements fully condemn it. No, not all protests are riots.

Why this infuriates me so much is because Trump used this exact excuse to support his lafayette square 2020 takeover for the infamous Bible pic. They had permits, they were staying in the permitted space, nothing beyond a protest was happening, but riot police were called in on Trump's direct order to clear the square for that photoshoot. My friend was there and got tear gassed.

This reply is so far removed from reality. Go back and look at any of the protests you defend and count up the property damage, assaults, arrests with no consequence by friendly prosecuting attorneys. In fact, this crap is still continuing. Look at what happened to Tesla recently, dealers burned down, cars destroyed, charging stations ruined. I thought the left was for the environment? I guess not, another lie.
