I’m not advocating for anything. Just making an observation. If you engage in non peaceful behavior as a form of protest you better be ready to be violent because when it’s time to be violent it’s time to be violent. Also the second you start to show violence towards people, and their property, that were neutral in the conflict you increase the likelihood of not liking how they choose to enter the conflict. Take the BLM stuff. Are there problems with policing in America that need to be fixed? Absolutely. Does that take burning down a police station or three maybe with the cops inside? Maybe. You burn down private property you just lost me and millions of other people. Why? I got property and it’s real easy to picture that happening here. I also start to think about whether or not I’d engage in certain behavior against those people if I caught them in the act. From 5-600 yards away. It didn’t by the way, the BLM protest by me consisted of people walking down the sidewalk carrying signs with local businesses staging bottled water for them and a couple of restaurants setting up grills in their parking lots and cooking for them. On an unrelated note, it’s legal to drive around with a loaded handgun in your glove box or center console here. No permit needed and most of the population does.

Me? That sounds like projection and I still don't see how it all connects as a train of thought
