1. Reasonable people who think for themselves, protest when they believe something is unjust and they do so peacefully. They're smart enough to realize category 3 & 4 troublemakers undermine their credibility but are usually afraid to speak out publicly.
2. Mindless followers protest when they're told to, and many have a severe case of TDS. They're typically foaming at the mouth whenever a news camera approaches, but not necessarily violent and not bright enough to do much else.
3. Those throwing rocks, setting cars and dumpsters on fire and blocking highways like to cause chaos and act out against governmental authority. They're always looking for an excuse to justify their behavior.
4. Looters are just thieves taking advantage of an opportunity. They couldn't care less about the nature of the "cause", as long as it creates an enabling distraction.
The "why" isn't that complicated.
Right. All I was saying is, to the bolded part, what do they think is unjust?
I don't know. I haven't heard. I saw some BBC reporting that tried to interview some of the peaceful protestors and they weren't making a whole lot of sense. Perhaps they were in the second category.

Isn't deportation obviously the official theme? The protests/riots are occurring in "sanctuary" cities and states that are known for harboring illegal aliens and fugitives, in defiance of federal immigration law enforcement.

BOOM: Rioters who block drivers in Florida will FAFO!
Governor Ron DeSantis: "If you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's THEIR fault for impinging on YOU. You don't have to sit there and just be a SITTING DUCK and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets. You have a right to defend yourself in Florida!"
"We have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety."
NOT. IN. FLORIDA! H/t @RubinReport
If only we knew their motivation.
Anti-ICE protests: Man saves US flag from flames in Seattle | NewsNation
A tense moment unfolded in Seattle on Wednesday when a man pulled an American flag from a dumpster fire during a protest against federal immigration enforcement efforts.
“What are you here for, bro?” a woman can be heard yelling in video footage of the incident, as others tried to snatch the flag back. “F— this country!”
“We’re burning that s—, bro,” she continues. “Whose side are you on?”...
Well. well. well. The Newsome/Cali EV mandate is dead. This will save about $3,000 per car. according to the Auto industry execs. Amazing thing is it appears to completely offset the tariffs on autos. Well the ones the same Auto execs communicated not the ones the PHD's did. Good thing the PHD's do not make cars. Well, they actually do not make anything. (or ever have)
on standby for illogical responses by the lefties.

The action is fast paced here. While the competitors catch their breath we will cut to our theme song as the contestants warm up
Closing time, open all the exit borders and let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on over every illegal boy and every girl
Closing time, one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here
I know who I want to go home.

We are going to take you home...
Hey, 149, how's the action down on the street? ICE is marching past me now playing their version of a popular Eddie Money song. Let's get a mic out there and try to pick up the lyrics....
We see an alien, he's an illegal.
That keeps the Border Patrol awake at night.
Is he running? We shouldn't wonder.
Cuz it just whets our appetite.
With all the power Trump's releasing.
They can't walk the L.A. streets tonight.
Anticipation is running through us.
Let's find the keys and turn this caravan south.
We can see you run.
We can see you run faster (Faster).
Taking you home tonight.
We won't let you go until you're over the border.
Taking you home tonight.
Be my little deportee.

Democrat senator forcibly removed after crashing DHS Secretary Noem's press conference
California Gov. Newsom calls incident 'dictatorial' while blaming Trump administration for Padilla's detention
A California senator was quickly rushed away from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after he barged into her press conference addressing the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots.
After loudly speaking over Noem, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was pushed out of the room by authorities as they ordered him to put his hands up.
The incident happened shortly after Noem said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) "is staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city."

The Democratic governors opened themselves up to perjury charges today. Be interesting to see if charges are pressed. Maybe just bankrupt each of them like the Dem's did Michael Flynn. then drop the charges.
RANDOM REASONS WHY THE DEMOCRATS DON’T NEED TO WIN ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
- President Trump’s wall costs less than the Obamacare website.
- We are one election away from open borders, socialism and gun confiscation
- Democrats sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation.
- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union.
- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint.
- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border not starving and with a cellphone?
- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones to get her to go away. I don’t remember the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office.
- The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump’s approval ratings are low.
- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
President Trump said — "They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in their way."
Is China eyeing New Hampshire's water as part of a 'soft power invasion'? | NewsNation
When a billionaire Chinese businessman and his company quietly purchased a commercial building in Nashua, New Hampshire, to ostensibly set up a water plant, the deal went largely unnoticed. That changed when the purchase price was publicly revealed.
The company, Nongfu Spring, owned by Zhong Shanshan, is China’s largest beverage company. The site is next to the Pennichuck water system, allowing the company to use local water for a beverage plant. What’s raising eyebrows is the mystery of why the company paid $67 million in cash for a property valued at $15 million.
“Being tied into our Pennichuck water system and taking millions of gallons a day of drinking water from the citizens of Nashua is very concerning,” local resident Bob Lozeau told NewsNation. He said most people in Nashua didn’t know about the sale before it happened.
State senator concerned for town’s water supply
State Sen. Kevin Avard, a Republican whose district includes part of Nashua, shared his concerns.
“You have the airport here. You have our water supply they are looking to capture,” he told NewsNation.
The building spans 337,000 square feet and is situated on 23 acres. It’s close to the Nashua Airport, several defense centers and a Federal Aviation Administration control center...
...Lily Tang Williams fled communism in China and is now running for Congress in New Hampshire as a Republican.
“I did research in English and Mandarin, which is my first language, and I was just shocked,” Williams told NewsNation.
“I have been trying to warn people,” she said. “Xi Jinping has a China dream, and his China dream is to use a soft power invasion. Business. Education. Apps like TikTok and WeChat. Media. Entertainment. Everything they can, without firing one shot, to expand into western countries like the United States.”
She said China doesn’t want her to discuss what she calls the “soft power invasion” and the national security concerns associated with projects like the Nongfu Spring plant...
