It is almost funny. The violence from the left on this board more or less gets a pass. In another thread (the Bundy one IIRC), there was all sorts of crying and gnashing of teeth about how violent the right is in this country*. I put together a list starting from 1970 of riots where people burned shit and broke things. The vast, vast majority of the riots were for left leaning causes. Second place belonged to sports related riots.
Then a thread or two popped up about how the right would riot and kill everyone if Trump lost.
Trump won and what happens? The oh so enlightened and nonviolent liberals start breaking shit and burning things yet again.
I know that most liberals, like most conservatives, do not condone the violence. However watching many on the left ties themselves in knots justifying or dismissing the violence in their own ranks is entertaining.
The downside is, of course, that the burning shit and breaking things hurts actual people. It’d be funny if real people weren’t getting hurt.

*Both sides have violent loons. It just seems the the left tends to be a bit more collectivist about their violence.
I posted this in the Pit:
President Obama served two terms in a country full of deplorable gun nuts, redneck hicks, right wing bigots, some who thought he was a Kenyan Muslim, and had no credible assassination attempts on him.
I bet dollars to donuts that some left wing nut job takes a shot at Trump. He hasn’t even been sworn in yet and “Kill Trump” graffiti is popping up at the anti-Trump protests.
Yeah, just like the deplorable gun nuts, redneck hicks, right wing bigots, some who thought he was a Kenyan Muslim did in '08 and '12 when Obama was elected?
