Yeah, I don’t believe it. Rioting is natural human behavior. In Bangladesh we have violent riots after every election. The police aren’t instigating them, they are nowhere to be found. Why would I believe that Americans are any different?

We don't have violent riots after every election, for one thing.

America certainly had violent riots during elections. Also after sports games. It happens.

I’m sure you know who Shibir and Chhatra League are? Who are their American counterparts?

It's different now. Early in the presidential campaign, anti-Trump demonstrators were blocking the road to the Reagan library to deny access to people heading to a Trump/GOP fund raiser

I remember thinking, America is in for it now, the Rubicon has been crossed. Since then politically motivated violence has been embraced and celebrated by many luminaries. Welcome to the normal.

Not in recent memory, and certainly not as a regular occurrence.

>Also after sports games.

Ok, you got me there.

There are instigators involved in the hartals, no doubt. But working with the police?

What do you make of Trump's many pleas to handle the opposition and journalists with violence while campaigning?
