So it's okie dokie because they threw the molotov cocktails a couple days ago???

Nope. But the rioting that the right has been feigning terror over has been a massive flop. Protests around the country today and there was very little reported "rioting".

You're talking about the deranged right winger who had a kill list of democrats and actually murdered one Minnesota rep while shooting another?

Also....not a "staffer" at all.

Okay, appointee. I didn't see the hit list - he's clearly going after 110% dems. My bad.

The masks aren't as terrifying as the Molotov cocktails and throwing objects at police cars as they drive by. Why is the left so tolerant of these riots?

Because Trump

There's not a whole lot of info on him right now. But he has some heavy Christian and anti-abortion affiliations. Sounds like the hit list, outside of politicians, had some abortion providers on there as well.....which is probably the primary motivation behind this. But it's mostly speculation at this point.

Good. It's unfortunate that local law enforcement has to prepare for a riot (which I suspect has a lot to do with the lack of rioting) everytime the left gathers to protest.

Regardless of his motives, political affiliations, etc, no punishment is too great for him.

Of course they prepare for a riot. When else are they going to get to use their tear gas on people standing around.....or shoot reporters with rubber bullets?

This has been a long time coming. Iran has conducted a proxy war against Israel for too long and now Israel is responding. This might be why Israel doesn't seem to motivated to end the conflict Gaza, since that would just allow Iranian backed terrorist a chance to rebuild, stage terrorist attacks, spy on Israel, etc. When I was in the Marines, I always felt the Israeli military was the only military on par with the US.
