   I was just ticked off at the insinuation that the riots don't matter.

    DC> The vast, vast majority are peacefully protesting.   
      
   The narrative that the riots are mostly peaceful is part of a misinformation   
   campaign by the press. Placing quotes around the word riots shows you don't   
   question it. The left has turned into what they hate and don't even realize it.   
      
   I hope that changes.   
      
   While many of the people have been arrested, the cities released them without   
   bail the same evening so they returned to cause mayhem. And if you believe the   
   riots are a small group of people, consider the mass damage these people   
   managed to do. Take a look at all the looting that has been occuring in NYC. I   
   read 900 people were arrested and quickly released in NYC alone. This is not an   
   extreme minority. You'd like to think it's mostly peaceful but some of these   
   large cities are saying that their police force is overwhelmed and asking for   
   military assistance. Peaceful protests don't lose control.   
      
   My city, Sacramento, has had over fifty small businesses destroyed the last   
   week and it's considered relatively peaceful. in my town, most of the   
   protests, during the day, are peaceful. It's only after dark that the looting   
   occurs. But if you listen to the press, it's only a few. Ridiculous.

   I pay little attention to press sources regardless of political slant. I prefer   
   to view raw feeds without a voiceover explaining what I'm supposed to see.   
      
   Can't help it with the Trump hate. That church was burned down by this very   
   small group of rioters. It was meant to be symbolic but who cares right? You   
   hate Trump and will criticize every little move.

   I had to look up CINO. Christian In Name Only. Yeah, I'm not really sure what   
   that means. I'm not a Christian at all but I know many people who identify as   
   christian who don't attend church. Is this the community you speak of?    
      
    DC> That's too bad.  I don't understand why these people hate
