Explain the thought process comparing the dumping of tea in a harbor to protest unfair taxation to breaking the window of a storefront (and taking a 65” flatscreen for oneself ) because a bad Cop somewhere killed a guy ?

I was directly responding to the post of throwing a brick, lighting a match, and taking down a statue. All of those (I think it’s implied in the first two) are destruction of property and would amount to crimes if it wasn’t your property. I never mentioned, referred to, or responded to anything about burning down black neighborhoods or looting. I don’t appreciate words being put in my mouth, but I get that things can get heated in political discussions and we bring our own biases in, coloring the words we read. I wanted to know if there was a line between types of property destruction or if it was simply the viewpoint or content of the speech of the person doing the destruction. 1

B-Man Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 Today's Left, everyone. These are the radicals that Joe Biden and Senate Democrats are too afraid of to condemn, so instead they remain silent and watch as these insane people endanger lives and attempt to destroy our country.
