It's barely any damage. Most of the clips I've seen circulating aren't even from these protests - they're from BLM years ago and people are just recycling them and hoping nobody would notice. And, well... nobody notices. So.
I'm not lying - it's very overblown because of course it is. I have friends in LA right now. They're mostly just outside listening to music and dancing.
Obviously, such a narrative is very boring. So we don't see it. In reality, though, the damage is quite small. Similar to BLM in the past, in which almost all protests saw no damage at all.
And, elephant in the room - there's a 0% chance that the fucking marines are going to de-escalate anything. You think Trump wants less violence, less destruction? No, he wants MORE of it.
Yeah, we all know how violent lefties are. They're djaying right now, the horror!
> It's not the police that started it.
Sure, but the police escalated it because that's all they know what to do.
The worst thing to do for a protest is send in the police. Because they're going to antagonize people, shoot rubber bullets, throw tear gas, and then suddenly you're on the news.
During the BLM protests there was footage out the wazoo of people literally sitting there or just walking and then having rubber bullets shot at them. Sometimes while they were actually on their knees.
I'm not who you are replying to, but some people believe a portion of Anne Frank's diary was a forgery. Apparently, the type of pen used in portions of it wasn't even created until after she died.
I am unsure as to the accuracy of such claims. Some people have been thrown in jail in Europe for making these claims.
You seem to suggest the answer to my question there is that people just don’t like Trump. But can you really not distinguish the tactics they deployed, and how Trump’s tactics of maximum force might lead to greater resistance? When people are pushed they’re going to push back.
