    These are all bad. Full stop. But I think reasonable people are actually saying this: If you and “your side” are tweeting/writing/worrying *more* about these than the problem of police brutality or racism, if they occupy *more* of your (finite) time and energy, that’s bad.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1268365525563985921 …

    Look, folks, mob violence is bad. Arson is bad. Assault is bad. Looting is bad, Destroying poor neighborhoods is bad. If you're not against those things, you've picked the wrong side.

        The real Q IMO is one of priorities. Not “is rioting good or bad?”—to which all but a few will answer bad. It’s abt how we direct our political, emotional, & spiritual resources right now. How are we triaging our concerns? Is it rioting at the top? Or is what’s being protested?

        Turning complicated situations into simple binaries is a very effective rhetorical tactic, but I believe it is counterproductive. For all issues (eg prolife/prochoice, perhaps the most destructive false binary in recent political history).

        At any rate—Twitter feeds the bumper-stickerization, and Trump feeds off it, and it makes me sad and hopeless about the possibility of nuanced dialogue. /x

        Why? Riots are happening now and need to be crushed before they destroy our cities. Rioters have killed 8 people. Their lives mattered.

        The country is almost unanimous in our contempt for what happened to Mr Floyd and the perpetrators have been arrested. I'll be glad to talk about broader issues once the rioting stops and those perpetrators are also punished. Until then it's just blackmail.

        My niece posted on Facebook how riots are necessary to effect change and my sister te shared. I can't count how many times MLK's riots are the language quite has crossed my feed. So, yeah, there are people who defend these.

        Then your niece is wrong. And invoking MLK as license to riot and loot is appalling.
