The headline does not match the article. Sounds like the news van was collatoral damage and not purposefully set (as was the limo).

Fake news. Calling rioters protesters.Mp<
Good catch, absolutely fake news. Will not get much play except on Fox News: does not fit the narrative.

Just like CNN cutting from the P##$# march when the speaker gets vile; protecting the narrative.

Why were the rioters allowed to burn a vehicle without being arrested? Is there no way to spray them with some kind of ink and positively id them? Are people allowed to roam city streets wearing masks?

If you ask the police, they will probably say WE were careful so as not to incite a riot. Duh! This is why we have these destructive riots; police and national guard are prohibited from arresting ALL of the rioters.

Setting fires on city streets and blocking traffic is illegal and not protesting. It is rioting.

Not to be picky, but they are not anti-Trump protesters. They are Trump protesters. If they were anti-Trump protesters, they would be FOR Trump.

I did not click. I took the took the posted headline as accurate. But When I did check the link, the subheading is as follows:

"Six police officers sustained minor injuries during the protests" My emphasis added.

Someone said Larry King had rented it. Hope it was covered by insurance

“I was going to ask the same question - whose limo was it?”

Probably some blue collar guy just trying to make a living renting out, and making payments on, a limo. Now he’s discovering that insurance doesn’t cover damage from riots.

“Why were the rioters allowed to burn a vehicle without being arrested? “

Over 100 arrested and facing federal charges up to 10 years in prison.

***Just like CNN cutting from the P##$# march when the speaker gets vile;***

I saw a KKK rally on TV years ago and wondered if these idiots realized how stupid they looked for the camera. The cameras never cut away as they made fools of themselves.

No such luck with the recent riots. Must protect the anti-Trump message and cut away when they get vile.
