Just your typical peaceful blackshirts:
For some, this is not activism. It’s not protesting. It’s just about causing mayhem. They hate cops because they have a problem with authority in general.
You can lock them up, fine them, do whatever, it’ll never have any effect. They will just get out of jail and set fire to another police car given the chance.
I’m not saying the protesters are right, but I will always defend peaceful discourse and all opinions, even the most vile, unfounded bile can have their stage. But they must then also be open to reason and proper discussion. There is no situation where setting fire to police vehicles (paid for with my taxes, by the way) is part of a civilised debate.
This is indeed not activism or protesting; it is the right.
Exactly.
