Rioting is beginning to turn people off to BLM and protests while Biden has no solution

Violence erupted last week in Kenosha, Wisconsin after Jacob Blake was shot in the back by police. The mayhem followed a familiar pattern, with daytime protests devolving into night-time looting and arson. But rage-fueled anarchy is no substitute for reform-based policy, and as violence in the streets continues, as it has in Portland, it is becoming a problem for election-year Democrats.

Press outlets have generally tried to downplay the violent aspects of the protests, sometimes going to absurd lengths. CNN’s Omar Jimenez reported live from Kenosha in front of burning businesses while a chyron described the scene as “fiery but mostly peaceful protests.” The narrative “buildings burn at peaceful protest” is Orwellian doublethink in action. This would be like reporting that most protesters were unharmed in Kenosha even though three were shot, two of them fatally, allegedly by a white 17-year-old who thought of himself as a militia member. Pro tip: arson and shootings are news, the rest is context.

Actually, I'm surprised USA Today published this.

    "BLM is not synonymous with rioting" Really?? Name one place in YEARS where a "peaceful" BLM protest hasn't devolved into violence in one form or another as soon as the sun goes down and sometimes well before then.

    There isn't going to be any respect for this organization until blacks stop killing their own people, including their CHILDREN. Name one other ethnic group that does that!!! Even Muslims don't kill their own, as ignorant as they are.

      Not killing other people - which they also do, and in huge numbers - would also probably help.

      "Even Muslims don't kill their own, as ignorant as they are."
      Other than honor killings, or mass bombings/shootings which, while not usually specifically aimed at children, aren't usually overly concerned with avoiding them, either.

    "Rioting is beginning to turn people off to BLM and protests while Biden has no solution".

    That's a lie, he HAS a solution: vote for HIM.

    There is not a day that goes by that we are not hearing about an other BLM riot across the country.

    The Democrats solution is... Mail in Ballots, which will miraculously be mostly democrat votes.
    Somehow, it seemed like Republicans put their ballots in the dumpster, instead of the mailbox.
