Nobody who's defending riots would ever want to live in the middle of one.

Or they deflect and say something like “But a man was murdered and you’re worried about corporations?” Yes, somebody was murdered and it is awful. And that doesn’t give you the right to threaten and destroy the property of people who weren’t even involved.

You’re giving up the game here, though. You think this is about a man being murdered. A gross, discrete incident caught on video. That’s not really what it’s about though. We’ve been in this exact spot before. Black people being told “you don’t matter” time and time again.

To be clear, you're saying Trump voters are morally responsible for their actions, and that action has to be justified on its own terms, not in terms of how unfair the left is?
