And shutting down whole highways, tipping over police cars, and looting...all peaceful activities for a black lynch mob because no one started shooting bullets. If white people had protests like that they would be labeled as “domestic terrorists” or “extremists. Big double standard there.

Wouldn’t necessarily dismiss them, but will take their terroristic threats seriously.

Or...

Doctor: I've got good news and bad news.

Patient: Give me the good news.

Doctor: The tests show that you have a terminal disease that will kill you within 24 hours.

Patient: That's the good news? What's the bad news?

Doctor: I forgot to call you yesterday.

Unfortunately, I really DO fear that the BLM movement may soon--without provocation--decide to start taking out law enforcement officers on their own in what amounts to a reign of terror. That's the point when the America starts to become as dangerous as what Caracas, Venezuela is now.

the recent riots depicted large fireworks being thrown into the police ranks. the fireworks appeared to be aerial bombs that made a loud explosion accompanied by the masses of sparks.

"Otherwise peaceful?" Oh yeah, it's the SuckBee.

Ain't this world a wacky place? In order to understand this article, you have to remember their world view:

Remember. These elderly taxpayers are violent extremists.

This is "peaceful protest".

No, you may NOT ask questions.

"...dumb, dangerous...Black Lives Matter"

The copy editor got some of the words right, but then added extra ones to produce a politically correct headline. :)
