In the past several months, BLM, Antifa and other left wing extremists have been protesting AND RIOTING, AND LOOTING all across the country! They've torched countless businesses, govt buildings, churches, cars, busses. They've murdered at least 32 people so far, and assaulted countless numbers of people, including hundreds of police!

The funny thing is that NOBODY in the mainstream "news" media have asked or expected democrats to condemn THEIR extremists! So far the democrats AND the "news" media have PRAISED and protected the rioters/looters, REGARDLESS of what they do! They have largely covered it up... The same is true of most progressives here.

The democrats run the cities and police depts where most all of this has occured(including the allegedly racism motivated police violence)! But those democrats have generally ALLOWED the leftist mobs to destroy, assault and even murder, while intentionally hamstringing their police from protecting the public! Those democrat mayor's are REFUSING to prosecute them, even ordering them released from custody, so they can immediately get back to their "protesting"!

So, do you agree with democrats and "news" media activists that there should be some direct(or unspoken) legal exemption for leftist mobs to be allowed to riot, loot, assault people, etc?

What looter, that has been identified, has been allowed to go free without consequences? Give SPECIFIC Examples.

Maybe I've missed something, but can you cite the 32 indicated murders?

Hyperbole seems to be going around these days, and you can never be too sure which claims are valid and which ones are simply being used to trample the 1st Amendment.

There was an SJW organization in Minneapolis that raised $12 million to bail your lefty looters out of jail..There's some controversy over that however, because they only spent a fraction of the funds they raised.

Sorry but "bail" is considered "without consequences"? You realize they still have to answer to the charges right?

Pfft, several in Reno out of 140 cities that experienced looting and unrest.

You still haven't shown where people that were identified went WITHOUT any consequences? Can you show where people who were identified weren't charged with crimes? Do tell.

How would we know? Law enforcement agencies generally do not release information of the people who they have identified as potential criminal suspects but who they have chosen not to prosecute.

I realize that the city council and mayor for Minneapolis completely folded on the issue of law and order, in the face of a violent mob. The prosecutor isn't going to pursue those looters and you know it.

They were released without having to post bail in every city with a George Soros funded district attorney, such as St Louis, Chicago, and San Francisco. You're not convinced that these people aren't let off the hook, you just know that if they are, no one is reporting it. This is a common tactic with the left, where they ask for something they know can't be produced, because they know the media wouldn't talk about it anyway.

In fact, it is not a matter of "should" those bad people be exempt, they already ARE exempt.

When was the last time that you read that a looter was sent to jail?
When was the last time that you read that a sucker puncher was sent to jail?

The United States of America is a-changing. The bad people are now in the driver's seat. On November 3, no doubt the Biden-Harris ticket will somehow or other "win." History books will eventually record that day as the beginning of the end of democracy in this nation.

The democrats screwed up and now they realize their move to hurt Trump has backfired....since the conventions they are beginning to speak up against the rioters and looters, but don't believe these corrupt people, they are liars to the nth degree. Vote for NO democrats, clear the House of them all.

Should Donald Trump be allowed to use his divisiveness bullhorn day in and day out to divide the country? He pays lip service to unity and peace ON OCCASION and then is right back to his divisiveness and conflict rhetoric. Trump opens the scabs of the Nation every day and then blames others when they can't be easily closed.

Oh and by the way, Trump did not call the National Guard into Kenosha. That is another flat out Trump lie. The Wisconsin Governor called up the Wisconsin Guard.

No they shouldn't.

Another day another bait thread. Nobody is allowed to attack, loot and destroy without consequences under Trump's longstanding law and order policies! Or is he that incompetent?

As far as lying, it has already been proven that Trump is the biggest liar of all. Are you not being a hypocrite when complaining about the Democrats lying?

Then do not go and make statements you cannot support with facts.

Trump is that unscrupulous and that incompetent. Nobody has used the bullhorn and the bully pulpit of the WH with less discretion than Donald Trump. His followers revel in the manner in the ways he uses it and then whine like babies when he is called out for it.

Simply put, Trump satisfies three instincts in this country and not more than three and not our best instincts either. He satisfies While Supremacy instincts which are racist as hell and he satisfies the desire for the vocal minority in this country to rob a woman of her right to choose what is right for her. The staggering aspect of the former is that we are still dealing with the crap 150 years after the Civil War. The staggering aspect of the latter is that the decision to abort a pregnancy is a very personal decision generally kept between the woman involved and the man involved if he chooses to be involved. Yet there are certain elements in this country that think they should shove their value structure down their throats.

All in, rape, incest, safety of the mother, viability of the fetus, ALL IN, 81% of all pregnancies in this country are taken to full term. If I were opposed to a woman's right to choose, I would declare victory, SHUT UP and go home.

Finally Trump plays to the gun crowd. If any single aspect of American Society should have been blown to smithereens in the past decade its the idea of the ever responsible gun owner. Between NRA corruption and the disgusting sight of people purposefully carrying guns into areas of conflict on the thinnest of logic.... ITS DONE, finished.

My God in Portland the other day people proved they could not even be responsible owners and users of paint guns, never mind real guns. Too many guns in American Society with the expected consequence, too many IDIOTS with guns.

According to you conservative buddies in this thread, all of them were let go without consequences. All I've asked for it proof of that and you and your buddies cannot provide that. So your buddies LIED.
