Wow! I had completely forgotten that this list had turned towards the right in the last 6 months. Next thing you guys whill be screaming is for the young punks to get off your lawns.
The reality is that "these folks" are the same as you and me. I've talked to many of the people who have an inclination towards using violence and property destruction at protests. Almost all of them are normal people who simply see these tactics as acceptable.
According to Woj, the millions of people around the world who engage in these tactics during protests are "thugs" and "violent criminals." This kind of hypocirsy on tactics just confirms that American leftists prefer to see militant protests outside of the U.S.
Yeah, it's easy to wear that Che t-shirt to some Manhattan soiree while you bitch about some kids breaking windows at a Georgetown protest.
