Tiananmen Protester: Donald Trump Sounds Like a Communist Leader

So my takeaway from this video is if you are planning on rioting you can expect armed vigilantes to execute a death sentence on you, so stay home. Is that about it?

I didn't see any mention of the armed citizens being store owners or otherwise protecting anything.
Also, how a lot of conservatives process the entire Black Lives Matter movement. Essentially, a riot is a protest with which you disagree or by people whose opinion you don't care about.

haven't we beaten this horse to death already?
I'm looking forward to spending the next 8 years asking them if they've repealed the Electoral College yet.
i don't remember them whining like this back in 2001 :idunno:

A riot is where you break windows and block roads. A protest is where you stand around with signs in an appropriate place and make speeches.
What if a little of both happens? How do you paint the overall movement?
As a crummy movement.
So, a movement that dumps perfectly good tea into a harbor?
That was a revolution.
Are you saying BLM is a revolution?
Cause they're not very good at that, if that's what they are trying to do.
They should try to pick what they are and then do it.
It was 1773, well before the actual revolution really got going. No, at the time, it was really just a protest against what the colonists saw as an unjust tax. It was destructive, illegal, and so small-scale that at the time no one could have imagined it would have lead to anything important, but it resonated enough with the other colonists that we still learn about it in school.
And really, does it matter if we view it as a protest in isolation, or part of a larger revolution? At heart, it's just a bunch of individuals trying to make a statement about what matters to them. Why do you suppose [white] people think so differently about the two situations?
Maybe. There are many common threads between them. They're certainly looking for a revolution in how police treat them.
Can you name a tidy, organized revolution?
