Is the US on a path to civil unrest?

[SpecialFNK]

I'm concerned that I'm not seeing or being told the whole story. I know that I'm getting an incredibly partisan take on the incident. That's what the bias that you are so concerned with is about, it's not about the evidence, it's about what evidence is presented. Every actor in your post has demonstrable bias. I'm not seeing the defense of the robbery, or the robbery at all. I'm not seeing the events that led to the incident, am I?

he was violently attacked, that is the story.

maybe New York Post would be better.

it's on video and can't be denied.



this type of violence should be unacceptable to everyone.

Who denied it? This story is very different, which illustrates my point. Do you even see the difference? Its plain as day

he was violently attacked, that is the story.

Sure, is it the whole story?

a man was violently beaten, put in the hospital.

unless you want to talk about him or who did this, I'm finished.

Jesus dude! What the **** is wrong with you?

If you want to be taken seriously, start from an honest position.

do you want to talk about the man was that was violently beaten.

sorry for flooding, but this could/should have been the discussion after my 1st post about this.

Both things can be true — that such violence is unacceptable and that we don’t know the whole story.

Yep, I can find dragging a guy in on the street and beating him unacceptable and simultaneously question what provoked the attack. I'm not sure drew hernandez or the wire's clearly inflammatory reporting are the best sources to get the whole story.

[benny01]

And they certainly arent the best sources if the goal is to foster a real discussion on the subject, but i dont suspect that's what we are after here.

lets play a game... Would a right wing protestor like this be able to walk through a BLM/Antifa demonstration and walk out unharmed?

Sounds like a pretty lame game. Sometimes these situations work out peacefully and sometimes they don't. One single video sure doesn't prove a thing. There are calm and peaceful people on both sides, just as there are violent dummies on each side.

[nessythegreat]

Yes.

Excellent, now we can see that both sides can tolerate counter protestors, but I'm a little dumbfounded why some of the other posters continue to seemingly defend the man getting beaten on the street.
