So, it's justified in your opinion. So, are they free to do it again and again and again and again? I'm good with it now that you've shown me that you are aware that there is a limit to tolerance and transgression and seem to be able to accept violence as an alternative. See, we really aren't all that much different than each other when it gets down to it. BTW, when there is a trend of peaceful protests turning into riots with looting, killing, injuries and property being destroyed then shit may begin to happen that normally wouldn't with peaceful protestors. It's called nipping it at the bud which is probably what happened with them. I'm sorry but if the Leftist groups can't get their shit straight among themselves and establish strict guidelines among themselves and keep it peaceful there's pretty good chance that a bunch of them may end up dead and wounded down the road. Who is who ain't going to matter to pissed off citizens who can't rely on law enforcement? The bit that's left of the mushy old center ain't going to be able to do much when all the killing starts. I hope that wiser minds prevail but that requires wiser Democrats which I don't see at the moment or the near future.

In another unrelated event, two law enforcement members were summarily killed by a two man crew of Boogaloo Bois. Both are in custody.  Both are extreme right wingers, so hardly sympathetic to the protestors at the event they used as cover.  Most of the looting in NYC during protests is, likewise, typical Boogaloo Boy behavior.  So be careful throwing accusations around.,
