Looting

 ^ And still your President does nothing to address the problem. Even his own ex- cabinet members are condemning him.
I put no value in your opinion anymore. Your as blind as he is.

alex- what news are you watching

From the first page of results (some of which are print as well as the video sources) the BBC, CNN, Bing, AOLNews, The Telegraph, The Express, Microsoft news, DailyMotion, Fox News, MSN, NBC & CBS. There are some articles on communities cleaning up afterwards, but I couldn't see anything on just peaceful protests.

I'd figured maybe the US domestic news was covering it differently from the world news, so checked out a few of their channels as well.

from Lester-

" meanwhile Anitfa is literally trying to take over the country or att least "




Where the hell are you getting ANTIFA from? Where? Show me ONE piece of proof of ANTIFA's involvement that isn't coming out of Rush Limburger's or Trump's mouth???


This is ANTIFA-

So, unless you are a racist- you have nothing to fear from ANTIFA.

[lester1/2jr]

you would have to look at what antifa actually do as opposed to what they say they do.

[RCMerchant]

^ Kinda like most political groups? 

[lester1/2jr]

if Al capone had called his gang the real Nice Guys that wouldn't mean they were. or maybe they were I didn't know them

[Leah]

If you think Antifa is bad, wait until you hear about Fascist

[lester1/2jr]

the point is because they call themeelves something doesn't mean thats how they are defined. If I start a racist para military group and call it the kindness brigade tht doesn't mean it is one

Kinda like The Alt-Right.
They picked a good name when it comes to fooling people, but when y' start doing some research, it turns out they're anything "BUT" a right wing group!

[Alex]

What is it about them you don't think is right-wing out of interest?

What do you think "Alternative" means?
These guys are LBJ Dixiecrat liberals.

[Alex]

I have never heard of white supremacists or neo-Nazis referred to as being liberals before. Interesting. In this particular case, "alternative" was used as a euphemism for far-right groups. Normally I would say that alternative refers to a different option, however as is mentioned above, just because you call something by a name, doesn't make it so. All of the policies espoused by the alt-right that I can see are very traditional far-right views though, which is why I am curious as to which of their beliefs you don't think are right-wing? I am afraid I am not familiar with LBJ Dixiecrat Liberals.

[lester1/2jr]

The thing about the alt-right is they are populists and that changes the whole structure of their version of the right. They are generally not free market capitalist for example.

i just saw this title i didn't read the article cause it sickened me but here it is  https://www.yahoo.com/gma/acting-dhs-secretary-claims-no-systemic-racism-problem-130200643--abc-news-topstories.html



says a white rich guy who has never had the kind of issues  blacks face every day

[Alex]

What gets me though, is it seems that more often than not when these riots occur (and I am not just talking about the US here), the death that inspires the protests quite often appears to be a criminal, and not just someone doing some minor offence either. There were some race riots in the UK about 10 years ago or so after some gang member was killed. I'd have to admit that I don't quite understand why the death of such a person would have such a reaction, compared to the death of a more innocent person. In this latest case, I've been told (haven't fact-checked it myself so I couldn't say for sure), that we have a career criminal whose exploits include breaking into a house and threatening a pregnant woman with a gun.

If that is true it is hardly the kind of person I would say is worthy of this degree of martyrdom, say compared to the guy who was shot just for walking along a street.

By all means, protest about your treatment if you feel society is being brutally unfair, but pick your heroes a bit more carefully and don't make icon's out of bad guys.
