If you didnt care you wouldn't a) take it so incredibly personally and b) spend so much of your private time engaged in this discussion.

Weird, you suggested to not fight in a fight you cant win - are you blaming the rioters for starting a fight they couldn't win? It seems counter to what you were saying before. Americans often want to go out and provide aid and assistance to others during demonstrations - you advocating against any form of participation or assistance with demonstrations highlights how little you likely value freedom.

I don't take it personal. I actually just feel sad for him. Because he wanted to do good and his natural recklessness got him into the place he is now.

Why shouldn't i engage when i have the time at hand anyway ? Nothing else to do on my jobs right now. :)

And liberty and freedom are different at least for me. Of course there is a freedom to be reckless but anyway it makes me just sad that your MSM are labeling and instrumentalizing him now for any possible scapegoat role they see fit.

And if you wanna see how to peacefully and effectively protest, i suggest you take a look at Hongkong protesters.

E.g. in this one: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10933-what_the_world_can_learn_from_hongkong

(Just skip the first half hour if you aren't interested in the history of Hongkong)

Just because some US idiots try to turn a legitimate protest into a riot doesn't imply there aren't smarter strategies.
