This is completely irrelevant. The riots could be 0.01% of the whole, as long as they cause tremendous damage and loss of life (be forewarned that I will not accept any attempt to minimize that, given the video evidence we have), and BLM's, the media's and the Democrst's unconditional support of them (Biden's milquetoast token "condemnation" of "bothsides" doesn't count), the rioters are the left and the left are the rioters.
Yes, it is. I still maintain that as a single person that can be in a single place at a single time, your eyewitness account is unreliable and not worth considering.
See above.
You are nobody. Nobody cares about you or your condemnation.
The media (CNN, ABC, MSNBC, others) has been covering for the violent rioters, first calling them a "white supremacist provocation" (for which, until this very day, there is no evidence), then switching the narrative to "the riots are justified". All throughout they have tried to downplay and minimize them, like you're doing right now.
I will repeat that it doesn't matter if the rioters are 5%, 1% or 0.01% of the protesters, what matters is the damage they cause, and the reaction the elicit from the larger organizations on the left. Trump has certainly got plenty of shit over the tiny sliver of genuine white supremacists that support him. The left should be judged by the same standards.
Only very recently have the media started making, small, reluctant concessions to the notion that the riots are indeed real, people indeed care about them, and they are indeed without justification. Not until polls have shown that the public is overwhelmingly opposed to them, and supporting them makes the Dems look bad.
The Democratic party has been donating to bail out rioters.
DAs in blue districts have refused to prosecute rioters, even when there's clear video evidence. No explanation is given to the public.
The rioters are extremely well organized. This is no "raw outburst of emotion". Brick pallets are distributed through their route hours beforehand, as recorded in pictures, video and witness accounts. They always come prepared with shields, gas masks and other protective equipment. Unedited video recordings of a Bernie Sanders primary campaign senior staff member has predicted these riots months before they actually occurred, implying coordination and premeditation.
I didn't hear of BLM condemning them. I did hear their overwhelming support for them.

Etc. etc. A couple of milquetoast condemnations months after this started will not suffice. The organization should be screaming the condemnations from every rooftop, on the front of their website, in every interview. And heads should roll over this. People have been shot dead in the street because of them FFS.
And we haven't even touched upon the open Marxism and black supremacism of this vile organization.
It's starting to look like Roci and Bacle were right about you being a gaslighter. I'm getting annoyed at your attempts at victimhood narrative, honestly. Poor, poor misunderstood ShadowArxxy. Listen, when we say "the left", we don't mean "100% of individuals that hold a singular left-wing belief in the observable universe". We mean left-wing dominated institutions and organizations. Which should be obvious to anyone who is debating in good faith.
And you, personally, don't need to answer for anything. Well, depends really, but it's not something I'm interested in exploring at present time.
Throughout this thread you have been trying to interject your own, very localized and limited personal experience and pass it off as some kind of authoritative argument about a
lasting nation-wide event. You've tried to dismiss these riots as a nothingburger, you've tried to claim the ideology that is plainly supporting it is not actually doing so.
I will not accept all that, period. Find legitimate arguments to make or GTFO.
