(2,998 posts)Anytime you have thousands of people in volatile conditions like that, there are ALWAYS going to be a few assholes. And as expected, those assholes are now in jail where they belong. The fact that a small number got arrested for criminal acts does nothing to negate what I have been trying to get across. Ignore the point if you wish, that is your choice.
I've even see someone trying to equate this to Jan 6th riots all while completely ignoring the point I was trying to make. I'm not sure if this is some sort of veiled insinuation, or if the conversation has gotten that far off track.
I could come up with parallels here with all sorts of other protests. The only real difference is that I am consistent in my position on all of them, others aren't so much. And pay attention to the key words, one in particular being protest, not riot. Rioters belong in jail. Just to be clear I'll say it again, rioters belong in jail.
And yes, the vast majority of them were cited with traffic infractions. None of these points change anything about what I said, and I stand by it.
