    Progressive politics as usual. Appeasement and hope they go away.

    Yup, I saw that. Be safe out there. Seems that for protesting, it's better for them to let the "fire" consume itself and burn out before they step in.

    Question is how many buildings and vehicles torched or vandalized IS Acceptable? Like the 16th st mall attacks these are probably isolated incidents.

    The article says two men were arrested in retaliation of the vandalism; seems biased to me. I'm not sure where I stand on this issue though. Only feelings were injured over this issue. Is it worth a potential greater conflict that could grow out of control given the nature of the protest? The protestor's actions make me sick, but if the police having stood down prevented a much larger conflict, I think it was the right move. Taking the high road is almost never easier or more comfortable.

    When the hell are people going to wake up and admit that so many of these protests are rooted in lies and deception and aimed at tearing down Western society?

    "Avoiding direct confrontation"
    What non confrontational pussy came up with that plan besides the Governor of Missouri during the MB riots?

    Nothing sends a clearer message that you are free to rape, pillage and plunder than a statement like that.
