Did you see what they did to the pool, Mr. B? They flipped the bitch!

So you're saying someone should do it?

Well that can't be right because I read on here that liberals are the worst.

Is there some reason this looks like a photocopy of a faxed photocopy? And no alt text or link to source: is OP just trying to break accessibility out of perverse joy? I wonder what they did to OP to deserve that.

I can name several historic US riots which were not justified.

The Tulsa Massacre of 1921.

The series of riots occurring after the removal of confederate statues in the last decade.

When men marched with torches and firearms after the inauguration of Barack Obama.

During the BLM movement a white couple was charged with Arson of a restaurant as they were trying to delegitimize peaceful protests.

Meanwhile the most successful social movements were not accomplished with violence at all. Women suffrage, equal rights for protected classes, gay marriage, etc. Some movements had a mixture of peace and violence, such as rights to unionize, but far more effective than riots were the affected workers like miners and industrial manufacturers striking.

The suffragettes were badass, they did firebombings and all that.
