The government is absolutely allowing it. They could have sent the military in day 1 to put this down with force....they didn't.

I think you meant to say Trump could have allowed it.

Thankfully he didn't. You really don't want active duty troops tangling with rioters.

A couple of things

1. You don't respond to people protesting and rioting police brutality by shooting them

2. Also we're not China and Russia

So you sit back and let them kill people, destroy property, and generally turn America into a shite hole?

You're right because China and Russia would have eradicated these left wing nuts well before they even got a chance to speak much less act.

In America we at least give them the right to assemble, speak, and protest. It seems as though some, such as yourself, have extended that right to include murder, robbery, arson, etc.

I guess we'll have to answer that question after all the hooligans get tired of burning and destroying property and lives.

I'm guessing it will be a lot different from the place we lived 2 weeks ago...a lot.

He deserves the lion's share of blame for letting this happen.

They probably wouldn’t have shot the high school graduates either.

This board 8 months ago: Free HK. China’s actions against the HK protests are disgusting


This board now: We should do what China did to the HK protestors.

This is the dumbest shite I've seen this week, and that's a fricking feat in and of itself.

You want military intervention on citizens, move to Syria.

Nice fear mongering, also no Atlanta was able to control it's riots without resorting to acting like a dictatorship.

Also stop trying to act like a badass and think for a second the implications of the government actually mass murdering it's own citizens. Hell just imagine if one cop fricks up and kills a bystander or a protester.

You think '92 was bad this would dwarf it.

Never once defended the rioters just said we shouldn't be dropping bodies because we're not communist China

You are surprised criminals are breaking the law and upstanding citizens are following guidelines?

You think this unique to America?

The point remains you are for sitting back and watching it happen....that is a big part of the problem.

Some places have already sent the national guard aka military in....I guess we live in Syria now.

My point is mainly that it should have been done on day 1 since we have seen this exact scene before.
