are of course there to cause trouble. Few are burning down black businesses to protest the murder of George Floyd.

Those who've been studying far-RW white power groups all along (including today's Republican Party), report they're all connected via social media. It's believed most of the ones this angry woman was speaking to are associated with those groups and were encouraged to turn out to incite race warfare. And, of course, for the pleasure of setting fires, etc.

Those who vote will vote for Trump, and for many he is something of a hero.

I admire people who can articulate their thoughts so well while being so upset. It's a trait I wish I had, instead I fumble, and get lost in my emotions.

Yup, she is one awesome woman.

I think that she was operating under the assumption that some of the protesters-turned-rioters where acting out of a mix of good faith, i.e., they support the general cause of pushing back against police oppression, and ignorance, i.e., they don't seem to realize that their actions were damaging to the lives of oppressed people.

Lots of people are getting involved in the protests for a multitude of reasons. It's important for everyone to examine their motives and direct their actions towards the most useful actions to further their cause.

And, you tell 'em, Warrior Woman--protesting, marching and mouthing off mean nothing if you don't vote, then complain that the so-and-so's are in control of everything so what's the point?

I think about all those people who protested after the 2016 election. Many admitted that they didn't vote, and quite a few never bothered to register. But some of them carried signs that read, "Rape Melania".

Dude, you do NOT represent me and my anger over Trump and the Republicans taking power.
