Don Lemon thinks the riots have to stop

because it shows in the polls

A pretty awful take by Don "obviously there's the smell of marijuana in the air" Lemon. These riots are not hurting Biden in the polls.

Seems David Packman seems to be a bit critical about some of the peaceful protestors.

It's a problem because it is a gift to Trump says Packman.

Obviously rioting needs to stop and it will not help the left.

Might be hard to integrate that for many after convincing themselves so hard and make a 180. Even Cuomo didn't seem to be able to follow Don Lemon on that one.

@Epikur I don't know any serious person who is pro-riots.

Protests need to be peaceful to be effective.

These riots are not hurting the left either. If anything they are making Republican leadership look incompetent.

Maybe not pro-riots but abling and excusing riots. The rest is taken care of by the "not so serious rioters" on the street.

Riots suck and destroy communities, but there’s a kernel of truth to them just like in the American revolution, you can’t be blind to that either

What do you think of non-violent civil disobedience and disruptions?

The issue there is that there is no clear line between protests and riots. One can easily transform into the other. So it's easy to paint anyone supporting the peaceful protestors as enabling riots.

I consider those peaceful forms of protest, but again, they can easily devolve into bullying and other forms of mob mentality which is problematic.

The whole point of a large mob of disgruntled people is that it becomes impossible to control or predict.

What a brave woman! WOW!

I will be like: -''OK OK I will lift my fist, please don't kill me.'' OMG wow!

There are countless videos like this on youtube, just type in BLM harrasment. The problem is more serious than what I thought. These videos just create more Trump supporters they are shooting themselves on the foot.

From now on I am gonna carry a knife wherever I go. Things can get super ugly, I just wanna be prepared to defend myself.

Don't bring a knife to the gun fight.

Better than nothing. And I am not going to any gun fight. I am talking about going to the supermarket, which is the only place I go nowadays. I respect the pandemic rules.

If someone tries to rob you and you both pull out knives and get into a fight best case scenario is you win but leave with permanent scars, worst case you die. 

If you aren't trained in knife combat i wouldn't do it. Best thing you could carry is pepper spray. You can disable them from a safe distance and run away.

Or just give them what you have it's just stuff.
