    Your biggest mistake is thinking the rioters are rioting for GF. This is your bias.

    This one is a feel good story. I like to call it a 'fluff story'.

    “Somebody call the police.” LOL

    In all seriousness I must be lacking something in my brain others have because my response would have been to either laugh at the guy our beat him until he went back to his car. Sorry but a garden gnome with a Freddy Krueger glove doesn’t really strike fear in me.

    I don’t know, maybe ask the guy for a selfie or something.

    We're probably missing the video where he gets out and gets the **** beat of him....lol. Pretty funny that young Karen wants to call the police after their group apparently threw something at his car.

    GF was merely a catalyst for opportunistic militant groups like ANTIFA.
    It's all they needed for an excuse to incite riots.

    That is overly simplistic.

    First of all the VAST (and I mean VAST) majority of people protesting have no connection to any political or extremist groups. They are people that are sick of black people being treated like second class citizens. They are people that are sick or women and minorities and the poor being marginalized. They are tired of the wealth inequality in the USA.

    Second. I keep hearing "ANTIFA" because the President of the United States decided to lie about the briefing he received. The President was told extremists of both political sides have been active and are a concern. Indeed there have been a number of right wing activists that have been arrested for arson, attempts to blow up buildings and other acts. The FBI and local authorities are also currently investigating right wing groups that have claimed to be ANTIFA when they have not been.

    I do not doubt that ANTIFA has had some degree of involvement in all of this, but this is not all ANTIFA and it is not all just an excuse.

    When a country has riots that last over a week, and are happening a few hundred yards from the residence of the President...... there are serious underlying issues in that country that need to be addressed, and not just the symptoms.

    Where is antifa? I have yet to see evidence of them rioting and breaking windows.

    There is evidence of white nationalists rioting to make blacks look bad though. Seems you like to ignore that in order to continue with your narrative.

    What's your agenda here?

    You can see Antifa flags occasionally in crowds.
    How are black people treated like second class citizens?
    They have equal opportunity to advance themselves if they so choose.

    Agenda? Please read post#13 again.
    An opinion is not necessarily an agenda else we all have those too.

    Many of the rioters are whites, and the cops are targeting blacks.

    That's the facts. You seem to have something against blacks.

    The vast majority are black.
    Please prove the ratio of black to white arrests are leaning to more black arrests.
    You are overly colour conscious.
    Wouldn't that make you racist?
