At what point does a protest become a riot, after the first building is burned or the first store looted or the second ones?
A simple question about protesting..
- Thread starter Bernard_Fokke
- Start date
Is this a serious question?
Evidently, after first cop car is stomped on and torched.............
Why they don't shoot a dozen before that to end it amazes me
I wholeheartedly support peacefully protesting, I also wholeheartedly condemn the violent destructive actions of the rioters and feel that they should have been handled quickly and harshly rather than being gently treated and in some cases pandered to and encouraged.
I know a lot of folks around here would readily defend them and theirs quite vigorously with any means at hand and damn the consequences were it necessary.
Dead serious, protest all you want, riot get into serious deep trouble, feel the stick and do jail time.
Enough of this illegal bullcrap. You have no rights when you violently riot.
Agree.

It’s because they are afraid of the protesters.
The first time an attempt is made to do damage or injure someone....The demonstrators need to police their own ranks, much as we did in anti-war demonstrations in 1970....Those who set fires or break windows discredit the message.

Were you involved with any particular groups organizing against the war? Where were you active?
"we" you demonstrated aboard ship?
If what you've posted of serving, war was over when you were discharged!

If what he's posted is true, he was aboard a ship in the Navy.......

Yes. It was over when I was discharged. No, the demonstrations I participated in were in 1970 and 1971....
I got to see the coast of VIetnam while we were evacuating....in April/May 1975...
My friends were in Vietnam Vets against the war. i was aboard ship in 1974/1975...
