Dope: We, unlike they, believe in punishing rioters.

No. When the Boogaloo Boys killed the two police to accelerate a race war - definitely punish them. And if you can ID the person tossing molotovs = punish them. And setting fire to business? ID and punish away. Just general pictures of them in the streets? Not sure what we do there. We definitely want to punish the guys driving cars into the mob, but I don't see any prosecution there, just Charlottesville. Just don 't selectively punish blacks and let white boys go free as seems to happen.

How do we know they don't believe in that? Because if they did the guy you replied to and the people he follows intellectually would have been upset over 2 years, billions of dollars and dozens dead during all the BLM and Antifa riots.

The vast bulk of BLM protests were peaceful. Guardian published stats on it. Lotsa white boys driving cars int em it seems though. I think the only place I read where Antifa might have used property damage as a tactic was Portland - punish away.

<i<>But instead...they all chant that Antifa doesn't exist. So in terms of listening to these people on the subject of law and order...yeah...no</i<>

Straw man, Antifa became Trumps whipping boy, it exists, but the one in your mind is imaginarily out taking over sections of cities and burning cities to the ground.
