    riots are not a valid form of protest unless all peaceful means have failed, and then they are far less effective than other non-peaceful methods. riots are what you do when you are too stupid to find a solution.

      Right, and protests will make trump think twice? You realise that trump is not the mastermind right

        riots dont do anything. calling a riot a protest is just a way to rationalize mindless looting and destruction of innocent people’s property. if you think we are in a situation where peaceful means no longer work then organize a real attack that directly hits the people you’re mad at. if the situation isn’t bad enough for coordinated violence with a real goal then it’s not bad enough for violence at all. I don’t care about trump specifically and I never mentioned him, what I care about is people ruining good causes to justify mindless destruction and theft. protest if peaceful means are still there, fight if they aren’t. riots are neither of these things, they’re just idiots breaking things for fun.
