Holy shit, what a photo.
The cloud of bear spray, the pistol slide mid recoil, the shell casing flying away, the laser sight reflecting in the sunglasses, holy shit!

He must be a white supremacist.
No, but this guy is.
"The defendant attempted to bomb the Temple Emanuel Synagogue to drive people of Jewish faith out of his community," said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division. "Violence motivated by religious intolerance strikes at the heart of a free society, and the Justice Department will continue to investigate and prosecute these violent acts of hate."
Gosh black people and anti-Nazi people sure intimidate you Lobster. Maybe you should exhale and let all of this go. Do something positive for yourself.
just in case “anyone here” is interested in actual facts and data re: political violence
If we should hold BLM responsible for riots then we should hold the NRA responsible for school shootings.
My lord that is a leap of logic.
We shouldn't hold BLM responsible for riots unless the riots are perpetrated by BLM supporters. Some are. Most aren't. My guess is none of the actual true BLM "leadership" have done one single act of rioting or vandalism. Many in their leadership have spoken out against that behavior as counterproductive to the cause.
We should hold the NRA responsible for making it impossible for our politicians to support common sense gun reform becuase our politicians have too much to lose financially by opposing their needs....actually maybe we should just hold ourselves responsible for voting in politicians who can be bought and paid for by special interest groups? Same holds true for many things such as big pharma, etc.
We should hold rioters responsible for rioting and we should hold school shooters responsible for school shootings.
Also: look at you doing the old whataboutism! I can respect that.

They are both dumb leaps of logic. That's the point. It was an obviously sarcastic response with two things that I do not believe are true.

I'm sure they are mostly peaceful riots.
WTF? Come on man. Don't play dumb. Unless you really are dumb. Are you?
Riots aren't peaceful. I assume you understand the differences between riots, marches (peaceful and not peaceful), protests (peaceful and not peaceful), vandalism, looting, etc.? If not, I would be happy to try and help you comprehend what they are.
Interesting how/why you choose to be cynical about something you thankfully can't and won't ever truly understand. Or if you do understand, you choose to be insensitive about.
