At a certain point, it's pretty clear what this poster's intentions are. Not one post focused on the issue being protested that I can see. Just post after post blaming the media, focusing on any act of violence from protestors, and excusing clear abuses by police as "what else could they do?"

The media doesn't care about peaceful protests. Which makes one wonder how effective they actually are at getting anything done.

Also, as you may remember, but of course won't acknowledge because its fun to pick and choose what to 'pin' on someone, my entire point was that there is a certain 'group' of protesters out there that simply want to wreck stuff and are hijacking the protests to do that. Antifa, Poor Boys, or whatever other 'group' you want to pin it on.
And they did, the media ran with it. Headlines talked about the violent parts of the protests, and like witty said, the other 95% of the protests that were peaceful were simply ignored. At least by the mainstream media.
Is that hard to acknowledge? That the media is going for destruction and terror because they know it sells clicks?
It really isn't.
But nice post.
