There is an extremely blurry line between peaceful and violent protests. Unfortunately all of the chaos of recent days that the WaPo and others (Obama, etc.) seem all too eager to sweep under the rug has ruined things for everyone.
No cities in America are ‘going up in flames’ or ‘on fire’.
A few fires started as a result of the protests.
Making it sound like some post-apocalyptic or wartime scene is just disinformation.
On the other hand we are wistnessing the largest set of mostly peaceful political demonstrations since the 60’s.
