A: "Rioting is wrong."
B: "But they didz it too!"
I remarked elsewhere, 'This is not how you First Amendment'. But watching the narrative spin on its tail from 'protests are good' to 'protests are bad' is pretty damn amazing.
Quick! Who said this?
"The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort w/the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows. To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that's the point."
That would be noted Trump fan Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
How about this one?
"I don't like violent protests, but I understand them. And those wagging their fingers against violent protests need to read up on their American history."
Why, that would be well-known alt-rightist Sally Kohn.
Quick, who had this headline?
"Riots are destructive, dangerous, and scary -- but can lead to serious social reforms."
Well, well, it's the clearly Koch-brothers funded Vox-dot-com!
You say you don't like it, fine. Fair enough. But you don't get to cry about how terrible 'the right' is for simply picking up the same weapons the left has been wielding nonstop for the last year.
