Are some riots good and others unacceptable? Surely not. Those who destroy property and commit assaults, whether against law enforcers or civilians, ought to be punished, no matter the cause they claim to support.
But today’s liberals reject this fair, universal standard. Some riots deserve legal protection, they insist, while others must be harshly repressed. It all depends on the politics of the rioters.
Some, such as the excitable Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), are cheering the prospect of another round of Black Lives Matter riots, er, “peaceful protests,” if the Derek Chauvin trial doesn’t go their way. They’re also up in arms about a new Florida law that strengthens punishment for those who take to the streets to commit violence.
You remember the line from City Slickers? The difference between a major and minor procedure is that any procedure on you is minor but on me it's major.
ReplyDeleteSame thing here - a bunch of Whites run an incredibly unsuccessful riot on one building and the entire country is in danger. Tens of thousands of Blacks and their "allies" run riots for months across the country and it's just a legitimate, non-violent protest.
