Breaking news: One of the mothers might have been at Fort Bragg a day before the crash.

LOOK. https://www.counterpunch.org/2014/12/01/darren-wilson-in-portland/

The PPD riot squad followed the fireworks with a direct and full charge against the protest, which was, as usual, accompanied by a guttural, storm-trooper cry that resonates in one’s bowels and makes one feel like vomiting. Many fleeing from the grenade’s impact and fulguration panicked at the charge, tumbled over one another and created a scene not unlike a stampede. Some may not have anticipated such bellicosity from the Portland Police, who only earlier that morning became the subject of a nationally-disseminated social media meme of an officer hugging a 12-year-old African American child who appeared old beyond his years—particularly not at a voyage christened by Reverend Jessie Jackson’s peaceable rhetoric. But the same officer pictured hugging a child was seen later that evening ramming protesters with a police motorcycle, and Reverend Jackson’s words seemed put to the test in the haze of flares and grenades as the police charged the crowd. @GreenDell144

People that go looking for trouble usually find it. Is there an example of protest or riot effecting social change? Perhaps Rosa Parks, or the Tennemen square guy, but mostly it just seems like violence for violence’s sake and fodder for fake news propaganda.

More good could be done with letters to the editor, social charity contributions, literature, heck... even graffiti. I pray I never see someone I care about running around in the streets waving a protest sign trying to get clubbed or gassed by the police.

What infuriates me is that BLM and some other groups are riling these people up into a frenzy and it only ends up with some of them getting killed, clubbed over the head, tased, or locked up. Makes me wonder what their real purpose really is. The truth is that there is such a vicious circle with this stuff nothing ever gets to the point of achievement. All the money Soros and others have spent on it they could have set up small businesses for these people for jobs. Yes, you are right there are many other ways to be helpful. They do not want to give the help that these people really need.

There are sadly many people out there with empty heads, responding emotionally to everything. When we feed ourselves on accurate knowledge, emotions don’t get sparked by those empty reactions.

Right now, people collectively are like an ocean storm, raging and clashing chaotically like waves. Everyone seems to be open to be “triggered” by a comment or idea, and simultaneously seeking the opportunity to “trigger” their “opponents”. There is no shelter from it in the world these days, and so many are mindlessly jumping of the cliff together to go protest in the streets.

It happened during the 60's and now they are stirring it all up again. People don't realize now, just like then. They are stirring us up again, if we let them.
