Instead of “riots” we’ll be “politically correct” and refer to them as “aggressive gatherings.”

They should just use that popular Minnesota phrase “some people did something”.

Without their latest race war, the democrats have no chance of winning in November.

So, how many more cities will they burn?

n.
A violent disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled for a common purpose.

This definition works for me. Maybe Craig Melvin needs a dictionary.

Riot definition is - a violent public disorder; specifically : a tumultuous disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled together and acting with a common intent.

Protest definition is - a solemn declaration of opinion and usually of dissent:

Someone needs to send this clown back to school.

Ok, no rioting. Looting is more appropriate anyway.

Maxine Waters insisted on the term “uprising” for the Rodney King riots as I remember to this day.
