The owners of the 500 or so burned and looted former storefronts in downtown Minneaapolis might disagree with you, M E M.

I'll acknowledge that a lot of the protestors are peaceful. But it's also a fact that a lot of them are not. And they only magically became peaceful when Trump (**NOT** the local Democrat leaders) sent in the National Guard to restore order.
They are "peaceful" when the looting option has been closed.
