End the riots, restore our rights.

“The biggest victims of the rioting are peace-loving citizens in our poorest communities, and as their president, I will fight to keep them safe…I am your president of law and order.”   (ABC - reddit)

Its been clear for years Mr Trump's posts and speech are very much streams-of-consciousness.  Thus it is possible to bend anything he says into something he never meant.  So often the American media lies about Mr Trump words.

I am weary of political terrorism dressed up as protest.  The murder of George Floyd has been hijacked for rioting and looting.  This is a political extremist's tactic. 

The FBI would be right to see where Antifa gets is funding (the result of labeling Antifa terrorist). Do you want to bet many fashionably Leftist Democrats will lose their masks?  By the way,  Bernie Kerik called for this, not Mr Trump.

To have freedom, to make the people willing to endure it, people must trust others to behave responsibly.

In the pandemic environment, people are distrustful of others -- those others might have been too casual about their health; they might have something!  How many people think contact, even just a quick visit, might be fatal?

So will the current crisis could result in people desiring an end to human freedom in order to stay alive?  What sort of life is that?

Rioting is not protected "speech"

Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is likely to incite or produce such action.
