Re: Annicita / STA
I totally agree about no violence because all it does is give the opposition the opportunity to discredit the protesters and why they are protesting. You know Goldenmean you can have thousands of protesters, a few act out and that often becomes the face of the protest. You mostly likely won't get credit for the thousands that were peaceful.
Then you have Standing Rock in South Dakota were the Water protecters are peacefully protesting and get shot with rubber bullets, hosed in sub freezing weather but no one is held accountable for that burtality.

Annicita / STA
I saw a quick news item that many or most of the leftist protesters / rioters DID NOTE VOTE, when asked that question by reporters. If that is true, I don't think they have a moral right to be protesting (of course they have a legal right). And if that is true, then Trump's rhetorical question was appropriate.
We will probably never get a proper 'study' on how many of the protesters / rioters actually voted. But it sounds accurate that many or most did not vote. All the liberal media polls were predicting a landslide for Hillary, that Trump 'had no path' to 270 electoral votes. So they probably stayed home to watch the glorious victory on TV...... ooooppps.....
And I hope you will agree that NO ONE has either a moral or a legal right to incite or commit rioting..... violent protest, breaking laws, and / or destruction of property. Every single one of them should be arrested and jailed.

Great! Trump's response was to say "Why didn't they vote?" I think that is the exact words he used...
