Protest /= War
After 1765, growing political differences concerning mounting taxes without colonial representation in Parliament strained the relationship between Great Britain and its American colonies and fueled the resentment that led to the American Revolution. Patriot protests against taxation without representation followed the Stamp Act and escalated into boycotts, which culminated in 1773 with the Sons of Liberty
That's the equivalent of taking a few sentences out of book and staking a claim. Just stop. We're reaching peak ridiculousness in this thread today.

Crowes and Smitty, hopefully you 2 can look at that and comprehend how logical that graph is.
It is logical that it lists 4 issues someone can agree with.

It is illogical to believe all 4 are equal to one another.

I'll even flip it more.. I dont feel bad for a business that got looted that probably has #AllLivesMatter on their FB.

If businesses that directly supported the movement got hit then I'd be mad.. But I wanna bet that wasnt really the case
Can't be serious...

What does being equal have to do with anything? They're not even opposite points of view... that's kind of the point.

ok, that's not something anyone said or insinuated, so I'm still not sure what your issue is.

I don't think there is any issue to be honest.

You felt like trolling and passing some time and I felt like coming along for the ride.

The sentence before you admitted there was never an issue, but YOU took exception to my posts that, again, you admitted you agreed with and had no issues with.

That's a you problem, not me.

:lol: You started all this with the assumption that I and the video I posted were justifying looting/rioting.

Then thru the flow of the BS you decided to try and save face when it was obvious you were defending ground no one was attacking. But to each their own I guess. :lol:

Plus, I was out having fun all weekend. Sister-in-law brought me a lemon bar she made that put me on my ass for the last 3 fights of UFC250. Sunday was out at the lake all day and then had dinner to celebrate a friends kids birthday.

Is that the same guy that shot a protestor when he was still in the vehicle? I saw a little bit on the news this morning but wasn't paying attention

Pretty sure that's a different one.

The one you're referring to, I don't believe was a white dude, so doubt he was KKK.

The other one was in Seattle and he looks white in the videos.
