(07-29-2020, 07:43 AM)Lucky2Last Wrote: Stop using protesters interchangeably with rioters. MOST people here have no problem with protests. Here's a list of things that should probably be self-explanatory.

Don't vandalize public property.
Don't attack or intimidate citizens who disagree.
Don't try to remove citizens from their vehicles.
Don't loot businesses.
Don't burn buildings.
Don't assault agents doing their job.
Don't blind them.
Don't kill your fellow protesters.
Don't steal property from people trying to film.
Don't create your own autonomous zone

That's just a simple list I put together. If you can agree to that, I can agree to the following for the government:

Don't obstruct peaceful protests
Don't kill citizens
Don't use physical force on peaceful protesters
Don't arrest peaceful protesters
Don't use unmarked vehicles
Don't use plain clothes officers to spy on protesters
Don't enact curfews
Don't confiscate property
Don't send in federal agents

I agree with all those things, but I don't know who had bad behavior first.
And if it was a protester who first broke these rules, it seems pretty unfair to punish all the protesters for that one guy's bad behavior.
The whole Portland situation is obviously in some sort of spiral of escalating provocation.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
