It's closed. Abandoned. Empty.
The SC is not and has not been involved in this ever. The rally had a permit. The permit was legal. End of argument.
Not the end. The city had the right to deny the permit. Some idiot didn't.
You are making excuses for rioters. I believe that society needs to stop accepting this behaviour.
Where did I say they exhibited stellar behaviour?
The bar may have been closed but what of the residences above. Also, what about the gas station/convenience store?
so you are saying a group of americans peacefully protesting something should be denied that right?
geez, I wondered how some of these people could be so wrong and then I noticed that it is a full moon!
"The city had the right to deny the permit. Some idiot didn't."
The government has the right to reduce my taxes. I think they should. They haven't, but its OK for me not to pay them anyway, because "some idiot didn't" do what I thought they should.
RIIIGHT.
Rally still legal. Rioters illegal. No simpler summary possible. No woulda coulda shoulda.
Not describing mayhem as "stellar" behaviour is far from calling it what it is.
The rioters are responsible for their actions. Denying them their responsibility is denying them their humanity. Expect better behaviour and you will get it.
