Maybe due to the fact that the mayor(I think mayor) is claiming the majority of the rioting is from white supremacists?
Or she’s racist. I don’t know. I have no idea who she is.
FWIW Obama also called looters/rioters thugs during Ferguson.
I think you can make a good case that Antifa, White Supremacists and Black looters who use a peaceful protest against the killing of black men as cover are all "thugs." And from what I've seen so far, it may be all three that are involved in the violence the last few days.
Spontaneous rage, even if one disapproves, at least is understandable (we're not going to take it . . .).
Calculated rioting and looting are simply criminal, with no justification.
No absolutely, anyone out there trying to take advantage of the situation, especially by force, is a thug. Race doesn’t matter.I think you can make a good case that Antifa, White Supremacists and Black looters who use a peaceful protest against the killing of black men as cover are all "thugs."

The issue with these demonstrations - let’s call them. Is they have conveniently had focus turn on the chaos - as opposed to the message and desire for change.
It’s true that, that is largely caused by the idiots stealing Nike shoes, but don’t for a second think those at the top aren’t thrilled that the message for “change” is being lost. The status quo drums on.

This sort of chaos rewards conservatives.
But the people in these demonstrations have to take responsibility for "outing" the Antifa and avoiding marches in retail districts that are conducive to looting - unfortunately, strategy is as important as emotion if you want to make change, not merely vent off steam.
It's not enough for good hearted people to stand together, they have to also protect their message from those who would use them for nefarious purposes.
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

Dont worry, it's all in the name of protesting

What a POS
So I am viewing on CNN and MSNBC. Any other one I should be viewing(if I can get it up here)?
There's also the fact that it wasn't real.
Obama is one thing. Then you've got everyone since the 1960s who has used "thug" as a surrogate for the n-word.
