I was just ticked off at the insinuation that the riots don't matter.

The narrative that the riots are mostly peaceful is part of a misinformation
campaign by the press. Placing quotes around the word riots shows you don't
question it. The left has turned into what they hate and don't even realize it.
I hope that changes.
While many of the people have been arrested, the cities released them without
bail the same evening so they returned to cause mayhem. And if you believe the
riots are a small group of people, consider the mass damage these people
managed to do. Take a look at all the looting that has been occuring in NYC. I
read 900 people were arrested and quickly released in NYC alone. This is not an
extreme minority. You'd like to think it's mostly peaceful but some of these
large cities are saying that their police force is overwhelmed and asking for
military assistance. Peaceful protests don't lose control.
My city, Sacramento, has had over fifty small businesses destroyed the last
week and it's considered relatively peaceful. in my town, most of the
protests, during the day, are peaceful. It's only after dark that the looting
occurs. But if you listen to the press, it's only a few. Ridiculous.

I pay little attention to press sources regardless of political slant. I prefer
to view raw feeds without a voiceover explaining what I'm supposed to see.
Can't help it with the Trump hate. That church was burned down by this very
small group of rioters. It was meant to be symbolic but who cares right? You
hate Trump and will criticize every little move.

I had to look up CINO. Christian In Name Only. Yeah, I'm not really sure what
that means. I'm not a Christian at all but I know many people who identify as
christian who don't attend church. Is this the community you speak of?
