The right to assemble peacefully and communicate a common message is invaluable and has been enormously successful throughout history.

What we are witnessing is an instigation of rioting and civil unrest. Not the same thing.


This nation was founded on violent protests by a people who had convictions and had been pushed to the brink with little to lose further. These protests have nary a one of those elements. Not in Los Angeles or New York or Atlanta. They might in Gaza or Jerusalem but this is just the latest outrage in an endless stream of latest outrages. It will last until about fall, liable to get really ugly this summer, and then something sexier will come along and the protestors won't even know what is going on in Gaza....because it does not impact them and they have no skin in the game....

Pretty much all of the protests in the country since 2016 have had no point and were founded on BS. The police brutality stuff was started by a junkie who was saying I can’t breathe long before he was on the ground. Another big one was Jacob Blake, who raped a girl then threatened a cop with a knife. Another was Breonna Taylor, whose boyfriend shot a cop and was shot back at as he ran away, and she was in the door. These are the people that they were protesting over. Overstated the amount of unarmed black deaths at the hands of police officers by a factor of 10, understated the number of white deaths, as well as the disgustingly high crime rate in the black community which lead to more encounters with police officers. Pointless, brainless movement that basically eliminated any hope of there being racial harmony in the US.

That’s what the protests accomplished. So yeah. Protests are dumb. They are worthless now. And that trend was started by BLM.
