Because every time we send armed soldiers to a protest, BAD things happen.
Thousands of demonstrators are expected to turn out in Washington next week for protests aiming to "shut down" the inauguration of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, organizers said on Thursday.
Protesters will attempt to close down 12 security checkpoints at the U.S. Capitol, where Trump will take the oath of office on Jan. 20, and along the 2.5-mile (4-km) parade route down Pennsylvania Avenue, according to leaders of a group called DisruptJ20.
"We want to shut down the inauguration," organizer David Thurston told a news conference. "We want to see a seething rebellion develop in this city and across the country."

good troll, keep it coming
Not a troll. A request.
Can you provide a quote where they said rioting was their intention?
not sensitive, just feel bad for you that's all
You feel bad that I support one's right to free speech and will not dismiss that right due to political partisanship?
because you don't know how to look at the bigger picture....
And what is that bigger picture?

I am sure those that are there to cause chaos will never make it close to the inauguration site.

So, you shouldn't shoot people burning cars / buildings, beating on cops / citizens, breaking windows and looting?
We just have to forgive them, they are just upset and misunderstood.
never did I say one was quoted about starting a riot
looking at the bigger picture is seeing how paid agent provocateurs will be there leading the sheep through false propaganda to block a peaceful transition through blocking traffic, disrupting the parade however they can?
Now, if you use a little patience and wisdom, and take a look at what all this will cause, you are out of your f******** mind to think this will be a civil peaceful protest.
You aren't supporting the right of free speech here, you are supporting disruption.
What are you planning?
We’re planning a series of massive direct actions that will shut down the Inauguration ceremonies and any related celebrations–the Inaugural parade, the Inaugural balls, you name it. We’re also planning to paralyze the city itself, using blockades and marches to stop traffic and even public transit. And hey, because we like fun, we’re even going to throw some parties.

You are welcome to do whatever you want and feel whatever you want to feel, after all you do have freedom of speech and so do I.

I do, but do yous?? show me where in that 2 minute or so video that has been posted they are calling for violence.
because I posted a video on this thread with many more minutes where a conservative was trying to bribe people into being violent during trump's big day and everyone claimed that it was nothing!!
and it's much more obvious what they were saying!
what's good for the goose is good for the gander...
point me to the whole video of these idiots, or at least give me the spot on the video (time) where you hear them calling for violence.
disruption doesn't always mean violence. heck if half of the service workers in dc decided to call in sick that day, half the bus drivers and taxi drivers, ect.... it would be disurptive enough to practically shut it down!

If they do anything illegal, they should be dealt with accordingly. My point is that we should not automatically expect there to be "riots" when a protest is planned. It's a lazy tactic used by the Right to delegitimize the grievances of the vocal Left.
The only time you people ever protest is to protest Democrats political opposition.
It's all fake just like the media that incites them.
