That is part of the point...people had that much of a problem with peaceful protest...but no change occurred. People march and chant...and no change occurs. When you continue to yell and your voice is not heard, people turn to what we have seen...its sad.
Here we go with the messaging again. There are millions and millions of middle/working class white Americans who don't feel privileged one bit.
so when gun owners pour into the streets with violence/rioting/looting to protest radical gun laws, you'll support us ?
So it's not the destruction of private property that matters, but the size of the private property that does.
But they are going to turn around and use his words of when the looting starts the shooting starts...and today's tweets about vicious dogs and how the agents are "just waiting for action".
I agree than no change happened as it quickly turned into a NA protest debacle and people forgot fast what the original protest was even about.
Tossing some Kindles out the back of an Amazon truck.
Go back and read what I have said on the topic of violent protest and peaceful protest. Then read that post again and ask if it says I support violence, rioting, and looting.
Yes...and let me get set this straight. Im talking about the of the actual protests...not the organized out of staters coming in to cause trouble. I think there is an agenda there as well that is actually counter to what the real protest and anger is about.
They may not feel it...but doesn't that mean there is none?
Go ahead. Try and cram down the thought to a law-abiding white blue collar worker that he/she should feel relatively privileged. See if it helps get them to join your cause.
Hard to say, ANTIFA has been running around causing chaos the last few days, so hopefully they don't force the MAGA people to defend themselves.
Let's break down Ben Franklin's response letter.
Here he is saying I'm doing my job as an ambassador. Your message has been delivered.
Here he is saying he is concerned, because any reasonable man does not see any need for the extremity of destroying private property over a public rights dispute.
Here he is saying people here will never be convinced you were justified to destroy private property as they believe the government has done nothing wrong.
Here he is saying two things: 1) the EIC is not our adversaries; and 2) what we Americans found offensive was not even their idea. They were ordered to do it by the government to serve the government. To call it a "tacit backing" flies in the face of everything Ben Franklin is saying.
The rest of his letter above is Ben wanting the EIC to be compensated for the damage inflected to them. They were a private company who had their private property destroyed by the revolting colonists.
Go back and read my other posts...I'm talking about protesting tactics to get the best support vs. ones that just p*ss off the very people you want as allies.
I, and that's just me. I fear everything. Interior lights turned on and both my hands on the wheel, window down, both times I've been pulled over.
What about minorities who are policed by people of the same color. You seem to be OK if a black cop shoots a black person, or a white cop shoots a white person justified or not. For many years Detroit has been one of the top cities for police shooting citizens..but they are a majority black police force with a black police chief policing a majority black population. So that is OK?
I agree there are differences. But those differences are due to the 18th century and 21st century being different.
That is, if you think the small business owners will blame the government for their loss instead of the vandals that directly caused it. I find that really unlikely.
Lol.
I don't follow you at all. In each situation, the owners of the private property blame the rioters. The EIC blamed the revolting colonists. Today's business owners blame the revolting black population.
Thanks for making an argument.
Yeah, I'm not getting your point either. But it's okay, truly. We see it differently but it's probably not important enough of a distinction to hash out.
Why are you 3 always the victim? And
about serious discussion with that group of people. Have a good weekend
Good question. I’m not the one to ask, though.Why are you 3 always the victim? And
Oh and BTW only a couple of days ago you were the victim as I recall. I object to anyone being the victim: Let’s focus on issues rather than attack posters; hows that?
Tim and the Twitter two. Fighting back years of white privilege volume posting at FBGs.Why are you 3 always the victim? And
I was at the Portland protest last night. Started at Peninsula Park where thousands showed up to listen to speakers and show support. Pastors, community leaders, every day citizens got up to speak. Lasted about 3 hours and then the march towards downtown started. You could see the antifa folks at the park surrounding the park and showing their presence. I didn’t see much participation from them showing support, they were just there.
I understand but the media never paints the big picture or tells the whole stories. About 10 years ago there was car chase in Detroit on live TV. News helicopter was following the whole thing. It went on through neighborhoods, then onto the Lodge freeway with 5 police cars in pursuit. The guy finally lost control, bailed and started running with 7- 8 cops chasing. When one police officer tackled him the other came flying in with clubs, punches and kicks and laid a beating on this guy more vicious than Rodney King got., while some bystanders were yelling "kick his ###" They had to call an ambulance. All this while the helicopter was filming.
It doesn't have to be a good comparison to answer your question. Your question was:
By looking for differences regarding what specifically was destroyed, you've already passed the question's answer that destruction of private property is how fighting against government oppression has occurred in the past.
My memory of much of revolutionary war history has faded quite a bit, but wasnt the tea party mostly inconsequential and disliked by many of the leaders of the day?
It is true Anifta is associated with liberals and labeled as a liberal hate group when in fact they hate everything.
That's what ive been posting for two days now.
Also in the tweet is a must watch video for anyone that doesnt understand why people dont trust the media.
I’m way more jaded that you brother, but I think it’s because those stories drive traffic.
Should have rounded them all up at once when we had the chance. 
Are you feeling ok.
