    It's expected to have more than 500,000 show up to protest. If that happens, there won't be any right-wing anything.

    You lost me at the “mostly peaceful BLM” riots. Ask your boy Tim Walz how peaceful they were in his home state.

    Actually we saw a lot of looting and rioting in Chicago during the BLM “summer of love” and I am pretty sure there were very few “far right” idiots involved. And while I am pretty sure the DNC will not turn into the same, based on history, we all know the allure of free Nikes is pretty strong.

    Again, read my post #27. There were thousands of BLM protests . . . . most were peaceful. But there were hundreds that weren't peaceful.

    Among those, there were several cases where right wing extremists incited violence by starting fires, breaking windows or firing upon policemen or police stations. I've referenced several examples.

    The Minneapolis riots were a prime example cited. A member of the Boogaloo Bois was tried and convicted of firing an AK-47 into a police precinct.

    The one i walked in in my dinky town was very peaceful, was organized by HS students who distributed water and cleaned up after. The sheriff was the keynote speaker. The only threat of violence came from the angry, red-faced and armed citizenry lining the parade route who had been told bus loads of black BLM troublemakers from Atlanta were coming to take over this teeny town.

    I guess that the conservatives picked up
    their trash in Charlottesville.

    any reputable news sources with info? Would be helpful to get the complete picture instead of from far right wing sources. Thanks!
