Diversity Makes Greatness
Hello T. A. Gardner,
OK, let's unpack that for a moment.
The protestors carrying signs are not the same people who are looting.
Opportunists take advantage of the situation when there are lots of people in the streets and police are well occupied.
It has been shown that in many instances the ones who smash windows are actually right wing provocateurs.
And for the ones who take advantage of an open store and come out with some food, how can it be determined what their politics are?
Laying this all on the left doorstep is an assumption, not a fact.
I've said this many times before. The radical Right is much better at killing people individually. They act alone in individual acts, like McVeigh did. The radical Left creates large amounts of low grade violence--property destruction, looting, graffiti, trashing city downtowns, and things like beating people but not normally killing them. Compared, the radical Left easily does ten if not a hundred times or more economic damage than the radical Right.
So, if you are counting who does what, other than a body count, the radical Left is far, far more dangerous than the radical Right. But those most loudly calling the radical Right more dangerous omit everything but the body count in claiming that. They do it on purpose because to do otherwise would squarely put the blame on the radical Left as the bigger threat to society--which it is.
I'd also say that the residents of Seattle, Portland, SF, Milwaukee, Chicago, NYC, etc., would all heartily disagree with you that Right Wing violence is their biggest threat. It isn't White Supremacists out in the streets of say Portland for the last four months burning down the city.
