Yeah, these protests will lead to a reactionary downward spiral, leading to protesters storming the Capitol building trying to hang the Vice President, 4 years in the past :)

You are demonstrating exactly my point. If violence is normalized then it justifies more violence on both sides.

I've never been able to square the easy access and vast private ownership of firearms in the US with the ideal of non-violence. It's an outlier in the developed world for being a rather violent place; perhaps it is just how the country works.

Boss, if conservatives had an actual violent bone on offer, the results would have long since been unspeakable.

The peddlers of violence deal in propaganda and all the negative social follies of our day, as well.

Sow peace.
