      Seriously, How on earth could someone think we’ll get less of this if we re-elect him?

        We won't for a while. The threat of more rioting is not a reason to vote Democrat. Trump is not the cause of the cause of the riots. It is just the continuing efforts of the left to ratchet everything up to 11. Been doing it for four years now.

          Obviously there will be less rioting if Biden is elected. At least of this type.

          One would imagine we’d see more activity on the right, but that would take time to develop.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            I’m pretty convinced that the real “generation gap” for me is that there isn’t even a pretense for interest in or need for real news anymore. People think that rhetoric and satire is the height of intelligence, and these are the only skill sets needed to run things. I find it tedious and boring when not destructive.

                  When LD mentions that the shootings usually happen in cities controlled politically by the left, you test the rigor of his thinking by asking him to specify a null hypothesis. Then you blame Trump for the rioting 5 minutes later.

                      I agree. For better or worse, this chaos will be drastically reduced if Biden wins.

                        The media alone has the power to drastically reduce it. They only need the motivation to do so. An "I told you Biden would be awesome!" would provide that motivation.

                        However, lots of folk would have an issue with casting their vote based on a threat of violence. I would hope that we could all understand that.

                            If blm leadership would only ask can't we all just get along.

                            That would fix it right up.

                              One thing I know for sure. When you reward temper tantrums by giving in, you will ultimately get even more of the same.

                              These riots are specifically about police killing unarmed black men. These deaths are occurring because of massive failures at City Hall.

                                        Ok so kind of as we expected. He was being arrested for a violation/domestic crime, resisted arrest including a taser, and had a knife or was reaching for one while the cops yelled for him to stop.

                                        It’s mind boggling this is even controversial.

                                          I wonder if this is a version of suicide by cop.
                                          Like, "I'm a loser, I'm high, and I don't care what happens next."

                                          You would have to be high on something, maybe + drunk, to walk away from cops with their guns pulled, knowing that if they start shooting, there are kids in the car that could be killed.

                                          No. Even if I were high as a kite, I would never put my kids or anyone's kids in jeopardy. That's like basic instinct or something.
