How about protestors and rioters?

Do they follow guidelines?
no they haven’t but there are some major differences. I don’t condone the rioting and they should be dealt with criminally. There are many reasons why the virus will spread faster through college campuses than protests.

For the most part they have been wearing masks. College kids not so much. They aren’t wearing a mask at a party.

Protests have taken part outside for the most part. Many of the college parties are happening in crowded apartments, basements and houses.

Protesters are sharing drinks, playing drinking games with communal cups and other shared items.

Protesters are hooking up and coming in close contact with each other.

Protesters are not living together in high density housing with often time poor hygiene. They are not in constant close contact like cafeterias and classrooms.

In the end the major difference is The right to protest is a constitutionally protected event. A college party and college isn’t. Therefore you will see colleges shutting down often.

You know exactly it a was correct statement about those cities and what is happening there. But keep the facade up it only proves the point more . This attitude it‘s a lie or fake news is comical. Having personally witnessed Newark’s burning and collapse during the late 60’s only shows your lack of truth.

I live in one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states. And no burning.

It's always fun to watch people who don't live here (thankfully) run their mouths about it.

Relax it’s coming soon to you ...it starts first in cities then eventually gets to your neighborhood ...your town... I have lived in a blue state NJ hfor 70 years and witnessed Newark’s destruction on a personal level...they still haven’t recovered ... the reason the violence ended? People stopped being pushovers in the surrounding towns... I love N.J. still but people are moving out as in NYC and buying in what they hope will be a safer and better environment for their families.

Sure it is. Is the burning coming before or after that caravan?

You’ll see it soon enough...if you believe your personal philosophy insulates you from this ideology of “ destroy it “ ...you need to read a couple of historical periodicals on everyone is a target ...even possibly you.
 
Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Chicago, NYC... not only burnt out cities but plenty of burnt out street vagrants...

From someone who actually lives in the PNW Seattle (and Portland) are far from being burnt to the ground so let's stop with the exaggeration. And I'm not saying that I agree with the wacko Seattle City Council condoning and letting the protests get out of hand but city is not burning down. It's too bad there are no moderates anymore just the wackjob buffoons on the 2 extremes.

Bob, I can't speak for the other cities, but your source for info on Portland is clueless. I work in Portland. Every day. Drive right through it at 6:30 am and again on the way home at 4:00 pm. Nothing is "burning down". Nothing is even on fire. lol

Seriously, stop relying on Fox News. It's not news - just entertainment for the right whose sole mission is to get Trump re-elected at any cost. So they have to make their stories fit Trump's crazy narrative of "total chaos" and "riots everywhere". Here's a news flash - 90% of what Fox covers on "the riots" is not true. If you want the truth, go to multiple media outlets EVERY DAY and then realize reality lies in between - closer to NPR than Fox - but in between the 2. And make a point of going to the BBC's website. They actually do agood job covering US politics from a mostly unbiased point of view.

Well actually you did when you said the cities were burnt out....to me that implies burned to the ground. Of course the violence was real but it isn't coming to the Eastside of Lake Washington because have don't extremist politicians in bed with the violent protesters that will let it get out of hand. But just FYI the majority of the protesters here were not violent and did not cause major issues....it was a much smaller group who were ridiculously out of hand. But keep those blinders on and fail to see the nuances of the issue.

Is the Associated Press neutral enough?
Monday:

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police in Portland used tear gas early Monday to scatter demonstrators who hurled rocks, bottles and commercial-grade fireworks at officers and set fires in the streets as they marched on a precinct station in another night of violence.

Sunday:
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police forced protesters away from a law enforcement building in Oregon’s biggest city early Sunday, as efforts to stop the demonstrators from gathering at the building seemingly fell apart.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal authorities on Saturday forced demonstrators away from a plaza near a federal building as dueling demonstrations in Portland by right-wing and left-wing protesters turned violent.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Protesters in Oregon’s largest city have clashed again with federal agents outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building that has become a new focus of the demonstrations that have gripped Portland for months, officials said Friday.
People in a group of about 100 late Thursday and before dawn Friday sprayed the building with graffiti, hurled rocks and bottles at agents and shined laser lights at them, Portland police said in a statement.

Is Reuters neutral enough?
Police had also declared a riot just before midnight on Saturday after a group of about 250 people tried to march on a government building that has often been the scene of clashes between protesters and officers during nearly three months of nightly protests.

Just looks like another day in paradise in Portland.

No, he's saying that depending on your news source you are hearing one part of the story. Yes, the federal courthouse in Portland was being attacked by a group of about 200 protesters and was defended by fed agents and the city police. But of the many protests that took place and the number of protesters involved it was an incredibly small number that were attacking the police and being violent. And the police (rightfully so) were able to put them in their place...it's unfortunate some of the peaceful protesters were caught in the crossfire but that's what happens when you choose to protest IMO.

Stop trolling, Counselor. Not even close. Asbury Park is a racially diverse city that gets along for the most part. There were some small and spirited demonstrations after the death of George Floyd, but now people are back to living in harmony and enjoying life--some of the protesters should try that some time--living in harmony with people of diverse backgrounds. They might even learn something instead of how to cause damage, mayhem and discord.

A guy who actually lives there gives his experience from the ground, you bring up a single incident spoonfed to you by fox news 3000 miles away, and he's gaslighting?

lmfao...do you read the news, i guess not

Do you know more about a city than the guy living there?

You've never even been to Portland and would struggle to find it on a map. Its only value to you is in assisting whatever skewed narrative you're promoting today.
 
sure he lives there....what makes it even more appalling he is trying to actually tell us there is not violence there virtually every night...there are receipts
 
You are delusional but it’s where you live.... keep the druggies and homeless vagrants you deserve them ...

I'm delusional? I least I'm not an f'in moron like you. Do you even listen to the uninformed crap you you constantly spew out. I'm not saying the city of Seattle doesn't have problems especially with the damned socialist agenda city council. But it is far from the complete cess pool that you make it out to be unlike your brain.

And again....I did not say there was not violence. Only that the city wasn't burning to the ground was was implied and that it was violence spurred by a minority of people. Thankfully, the police were actually able to do their jobs and clean out the ridiculous CHAZ/CHOP but some you really just have a one track mind.

The original post was regarding cities such as Seattle, Portland , Chicago , Atlanta, Minneapolis and NYC ... That original poster was not me... but seeing first hand NYC and the others don’t call me the moron since it is obvious those cities have become occupied by the radical left... if you like that type of infiltration fine with us... to deny what your governor and mayor has allowed is criminal... when it comes to your neighborhood post again how wonderful it is ... I spent months back in the early 70’s in Washington and Oregon... beautiful states but you better understand what is going on ... didn’t look to be peaceful from what we saw on the news...
 
As long as you admit there was unprecedented violence which included fires , looting , and beatings and who did you say stopped the violence ? I believe it was a combination of FBI, Fed Marshals , ATF and police who were held back by the mayor and governor...,don’t embarrass yourself about how wonderful things are in Portland.
 
To show how much of your post is BS ... for anyone who wants the true facts check KOIN. com from 3 hours ago... 87 straight days of protests... 23 arrests Sunday ... and the exodus of businesses is the worst in 42 years... yes everything is beautiful in Portland RC1991... Daimler Chrysler and list of both large and small Businesses leaving for good... and you think I’m a moron ... get a life.

For the record I live in Washington and was referring to Seattle and not Portland since I specifically mentioned the the socialist agenda of some members of the Seattle city council. The mayor of Seattle for record also vetoed the ridiculous city council plan regarding cuts to the police force. That was a sound and moderate approach to take. It's too bad it wasn't enough to keep the police chief from feeling she had to step down. There are members of the city council (at least one) who would qualify as the radical left, the mayor and now former police chief not so much....the governor not so much either. Maybe you should read some other news sources to get a feel from what is actually happening. Since you are referring us to news sources you can check out Kiro7.com and Komonews.com and the Seattle Times to see there are no mentions of violent protests here at this time.

I have been in both and both were nice places... You have the balls to call me the moron about Portland and now you claim” I live in Seattle.. you need to get your claims straight ... Portland is in trouble... I lived in Seattle for 4 months... 68 inches of rain between January through April ... swore then I would never go back though Mt. Ranier remains a pleasant memory... but the governor and mayor there are both culpable for the things which occurred.
