      One could scarcely ask for a better encapsulation of the progressive mindset than "yeah, the risk of violence is higher than the fatality rate from a global pandemic, but that's OK because our intentions are good."https://twitter.com/wheresKR/status/1301866559644880896 …

          “The risk of violence”? 7% of the protests involved violence (which includes property damage.) That is vastly different than what you’re implying, that violence occurs to 7% of the people attending. Incredible warping of statistics by you, but it’s to be expected at this point.

          Dude, the Trump virus is killing over 1,000 Americans per day and causing trillions of dollars worth of economic damage. Small businesses are being massacred by the Trump virus. Protests are killing around 0 Americans per day and causing much less economic damage.

          Nonsense. The threat of covid affects far far more people than the threat of violent protests. Let’s imagine the covid fatality rate = protest violence rate? Which is more dangerous? That’s obvious.

          LOL even accepting your apples vs oranges are you really not able to understand how the acceptable risk profile of something that offers positive outcomes compares with the acceptable risk profile of something that has zero positive outcomes?
