AP: Leftist Rioters Are Not Just Antifa Wackos, They’re Normal Suburban Kids
If the AP characterization is accurate, tolerance for violence in the service of political ends is not just concentrated in fringe outliers like Antifa cells.

“[M]ost arrested in protests aren’t leftist radicals,†headlined an Associated Press analysis published Oct. 20. Of those arrested this summer during the nation’s largest outbreak of riots in 30 years, “Very few of those charged appear to be affiliated with highly organized extremist groups, and many are young suburban adults from the very neighborhoods Trump vows to protect from the violence in his reelection push to win support from the suburbs,†the article’s second paragraph says.

@AP
They've been portrayed by the president as violent left-wing radicals and used to scare suburban voters. But an @AP review found most of those arrested in U.S. protests look like regular citizens caught up in the moment — many are young suburban adults.

Ah! It's a usage of the word "Normal" with which I wasn't previously familiar.

They HAVE their "reason to exist".
It's called... marxism/communism.
And even though the old Soviet Union is gone and the Iron Curtain is no more, marxism remains a very powerful force in the world.
One of the countries in which its power is growing is none other than right here in the United States...

This may be the most ignorant statement that I read in a LONG TIME! What did they expect, aliens? You know, Area 51, aliens. Not what a mod thinks on here. snark. Of course it is 'regular' people who are NUTS & COMMUNISTS. They have portrayed THEMSELVES TO BE TERRORIST...nothing POTUS said. YES, THEY ARE WACKOS. ANTI-AMERICANS.

It could be any popular cause. If Mussolini were alive in the U.S. rousing the masses, many of these morons would be following him and clamoring for fascism... basically communism/Marxism is just a variation of fascism. In fact Il Duce started out his political career as a socialist. Fascism was more too his liking.

That only works is by "kids" you mean minors. The "normal" suburban kids are probably 20- and 30- somethings living in their parents basements with at most part-time jobs and thus, too much time on their hands, and, alas, probably are normal for the products of American higher education, having absorbed the version of American history first peddled by willing accomplices of the Soviet Union, which persists like one of those sci-fi autonomous weapons systems that go on fighting a war after its builders and the cause they fought for are long gond.

No. I don't think in any cussing words or dirty words. I was raised in a Catholic school. One could not even have impure thoughts. I never knew, what 'impure' was either. I was just a kid. We had to confess every week to a priest and they gave us a list, to help us confess. Give me one word? B?

I wanted to be a nun. My parents were aghast! lol Then you know, I am telling the truth. And I was raised very strict.
Not allowed to join any groups. NO BROWNIES, Girl Scouts. Oh. 4-H..to teach girls all the domestic chores.

I learned how to do electrician stuff around the house, and small engine repair from 4-H. Should have taken the plumbing....

Knowing the leftists, they'll probably try to infiltrate 4-H and have them teach rioting.

Good luck getting the rural Normals to riot. wink777

Yup, I considered my friends and I normal, relatively speaking, growing up and while we spent some nights out doing stupid stuff in retrospect and even in forethought, we never went wilding, rioting, looting and injuring people. That definition of normal was never taught to us, but then I'm an old fart.

"normal' is what most people do. RIOTING IS, NOT NORMAL. Most people don't do that.
