You're free to express your presumptuous 'feelings' about how I REALLY think and feel. But, I obviously know better and have already expressed my thoughts and feelings clearly.
Instead, your case/point counters the reports and statements from officials at the scene. They said the rally and protests were largely peaceful, with some tense and violent incidents which resulted in no deaths or serious injuries.
If you think you know how to assess and characterize what went down better than the reporters and officials or that they're lying for some reason............it makes more sense to take it up with them or someone here who's interested in discussing the merits, or lack thereof, pertaining to the case you've put forth.
Okay. Were any cars smashed or attacked?
Were any reporters attacked?
Were any people threatened?
Were any people attacked?
Was any property damaged?
If I could find instances where ALL of these things happened but no one was charged or prosecuted, would it still remain a peaceful affair because the lack of people charged with crimes was low?
If that is the bar that we judge these things can I tell you about the about the number of "protesters" arrested for rioting smashing windows, assaulting people burning shit and generally being thugs in Berkerley AND ALL wearing the Antifa get up. You can then let me know just how close the correlation between peaceful and how many arrests and how Antifa are generally well-behaved and how they are more comparative to protesters than Extremist thugs.
Out of interest do you think the reporter and camera man that were assaulted which WAS captured on film was shown on the network of the reporter was covering the rally for? What kid of narrative did they go with about the rally? Why do you imagine that is?
No maybe it is simply me getting my facts wrong and providing no counterpoint?
