There’s useful vigor (see the majority of the peaceful protesters), and useless vigor - the rioters who just want to create more violence and damage.

Walk and chew gum and all that.

It’s time to move beyond emoting and emojis. November is coming. Focus.

At first, the destruction was aimed at government buildings. Then some chuckleheads went after the dinosaur museum across the street.

I was just commenting along to what I saw as soon as I tuned into the feeds.

It comes across as callous, which perhaps you did not intend.

Reminds me of footage of Palestinians throwing rocks.

No torque in the torso or leading leg, no wrist-snap, etc.

just when its been kind of dying down.

but it will draw attention to the issue again and get fired up again to vote against trump.


this stuff burning plays into trumps hands this week and you know they are going to use it but so what, fuck em.

in two weeks there will be another cop murder

two weeks from that another one caught on tape.
