I trust that you could find them if you were so inclined. I'm not here to persuade you or provide you with a research article. I could care less about whether you believe me or not.
Well stated Scott, Anyone standing at the ready with links to prove that the rioters were all nice people and the bad people were all conservative whites...give me a break. I have eyes, I saw it live. You won the "link battle" cypher. The rest of us don't need links, we saw it, in person.
How quickly this turns into insults - you're telling me, on a public forum, to STFU? Would you say that to my face? Doubt it. Let's discuss this reasonably. You asked for links, took me 30 second to look up two of my favorites.
Shockingly, in the NY Times (yes, I'm a subscriber) - to say that rioters are all right wing white is just not true.
I think it's fair to say that mobs tend to fly off the handle quickly, irrespective of their Anitfa, BLM or far right origins. There is no generalizing about white supremacists, BLM, Anitfa etc. Exactly what point is being made by destroying small local biz as well as virtue signaling Nike or Starbucks? Exactly what point are you making (incorrectly) by saying this is all right wing (BTW, if you read any of my comments, I'm not "right wing").
Appreciate you chatting with me without attacking. It's the easiest way to have a productive conversations. It sounds like your position has softened. Previously, you said
"Nonsense. You have absolutely no idea what BLM (and even more so Aunteefaaah stand for) violent extremism in any realistic sense in this country has ALWAYS been perpetrated by white males.
There are more videos / links including one with a LEO who has been involved in the demonstrations that are quite insightful. Rather than fight about this, I know both sides can appreciate that there is extremism and opportunism on liberal and nationalist/far right sides. To paint with a broad brush covers up a vast amount of crimes, some that are opportunistic (oh, free Nikes, let's but up this joint) to ideology (this race/class of people are evil). You don't know me. If you did, you'd know I came from a country ruled by a real Fascist. He killed anyone that got in the way. He didn't tweet them with interesting sobriquets. Journalists, farmers, free speech advocates, capitalists, social democrats, communists, it didn't matter. If you got in his way, you were dead.

Suspiciously mixed race as well.
