The MSM's selective approval of violence: It's commendable for Antifa TO BE VIOLENT to stop citizens WITH A PERMIT protesting a statue being removed, but it is outrageous for citizens to investigate (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Commoner

child sex rings, because in their minds (so it must be true), the citizens ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE.

For example, NYT story on the Comet Ping Pong Shooter.

“What happened today demonstrates that promoting false and reckless conspiracy theories comes with consequences,” he said. “I hope that those involved in fanning these flames will take a moment to contemplate what happened here today and stop promoting these falsehoods right away.”

It is time, Connolly argues, to stop fighting white supremacy with liberalism—battling scissors with more paper. "We would do well," he concludes, "to wise up and start throwing rock—public denunciations of white supremacy, clear anti-racist institution building, and fighting for policies that undo the money made off racism, especially with an ancient hatred now standing unhooded."

The hypocrisy is palpable. Either you stand up for freedom of speech where it does not impinge on other's rights or you don't. Violence should be condemned and not encouraged no matter how much you hate the speech of others.

Peaceful Protests Say So Much More Than Violence. After the Mayhem the original cause is mostly forgotten and the news becomes more about the slaughter and violence. Nothing is accomplished except further division of the groups. That is their goal.

Peaceful Protest yes, but the problem is the Soros left will bring in their agitators disguised as peaceful protesters and, the leftest media will turn it into a violent protest on every channel.

Thank you for that link. I have been hoping someone would find a company or info about these bad actors. They even provide Flash Mobs? WTH is that? The end of the article says something like this: if your cause is worthy of protest then why do you need to pay $25 per hour? Exactly.

Flash Mobs are people who go into stores like malls, convenience stores etc, and fill their pockets, bags, etc with goods as fast as they can and, leave in a flash without paying for it....most are teenagers to young adults.

I agree with this as I've seen it with my own eyes, however, "Flash Mob" has another less nefarious meaning where people get together all at once and do a synchronized dance without telling other people in the mall/area.

But being connected to this shitty group, anything is in the air. They should be contacted to ask what flash mobs they have done, if any.
