Peaceful Protests Turn Into Riots

States in which protests turned into riots:

• Oregon
• Washington
• California
• Virginia
• Illinois
• New York

Innocent bystanders hurt

Stores burned and looted

Protesters arrested 

Police killed and injured

Police vehicles burned

Public buildings vandalized

Residents terrified

Unsafe for children and families

Businesses closed and relocating

Families selling homes and relocating

Cities will loose tax revenues

Millions will be spent to rebuild

Protests and Riots become POLITICIZED:

Democrats say there are no riots caused by protesters but they are caused by police

Republicans say that peaceful protests have turned into riots and police are there to contain

East TN is peaceful and I don't much care what happens in the rest of the United States because I am 72 years old and will not live to see that much change taking place, but I fear that AMERICA is finally on the decline with its VERSION OF DEMOCRACY....

In its pure essence, DEMOCRACY is MOB RULE...  and, mob rule is difficult to contain once it starts unless there is some kind of unprecedented violence used in response.  And, whether it is or is not used, BOTH SIDES LOSE.

America LOSES

America is DIVIDED

African Americans or Blacks only represent 13% of our overall AMERICAN population and yet look at the DAMAGE they are causing once they have been PROVOKED by a white policeman killing a black person.

WHAT IF THEY EVENTUALLY DECIDE TO RIOT WITHOUT BEING PROVOKED?
