America is in chaos with rioters creating mayhem all around the country, and you can thank the left for the resulting death and destruction.

First of all, please understand the difference between protesters and rioters. This whole thing started out as legitimate protests by peaceful people exercising their First Amendment rights against a terrible injustice.

Sad to say, their broad brush paints anyone not in lock step with them and their DEMANDS as proof of racism' and white supremacy. So, my broad brush paints all of them as PRO-testers. Guess that makes me an "R". "What choice do they have other than to loot and burn?" Behaving like caring human beings would work.

I’ve had a number of confrontations with lefties regarding the riots (which I refer to as riots). To a person they insist on pointing to the more passive participants while turning a blind eye to all of those committing illegal acts (not to mention out & out violence and mayhem!).

My stance is, “Yes there were “peaceful protesters” but when the first brick was tossed they ceased being that”. If they had shunned the rioters and removed themselves from the fray I would have continued to give them the benefit of the doubt. But they stayed so rioters they are and rioters they remain.

The rioters and looters use the protesters as useful idiots and it works.

Thank you for that.
