You might think you are being facetious, but if The criminal justice system continues to fail law-abiding citizens, Such as is happening with the riots and looting, What you suggest may very well be the outcome. And it won't end well for your anarchist friends, since law abiding, civilized citizens still outnumber them by a wide margin.

A5 it sounds like you are close to supporting vigilantism and lynching? You do know the history of lynching in the USA?

So you support citizen acting against rioting and looting but not against police shooting black people in the back? Why not? Both are a form of lawlessness.

Right wingers and Conservatives always go back to the electoral meat and potatoes of "crime is out of control", even though the data show it is not in most cases.

But in your case crimes committed by police, right wingers and Republicans don't seem to be the problem! Why is that? LOL

I am opposed to crime and violence left or right or by common crimminals. What about you?

When I was young a crime was a crime, a criminal a criminal. Now the media breaks it down to political affiliation or race. The political leanings of the reporter have skewed the way they report the news!!!

[chuckChuck]

That may be extreme but we are heading the other way to absolute lawlessness and anarchy where no one is held accountable for their actions. Out of the 2 choices I choose the one that holds bad guys accountable, don't you? Please answer honestly.

Again today in the news, a call for a 40% cut to police budgets, cant remember what us city they were talking about, but same crap coming here.

You think the legal system works well? Takes years for a trial, only to get off on a technicality. Bad guys out in days reoffending. Yet still have innocent people punished because of a jaded jury or judge with a chip on their shoulder. What we have is no better than what you suggest, the difference is the "lynching" is done by the media and special interest groups.

And every individual deciding what is right and wrong and taking the law into their own hands without some sort of dues process is better? LMAO If you believe that then you are the anarchist!

The Canadian legal system is not perfect but the alternatives are far worse. The list of people not convicted and those wrongly convicted is quite long!

I am not in favour of defunding the police, but I am in favour of allocating extra funds to handle many of the mental health calls and providing programs to get those suffering from addictions and mental health issues some healthcare. This would be a good step in the right direction.

From all perspectives right. Not just the "leftwing media"! LOL

No one on here supports the fanatical far right, that is something you have made up in your head. There is not a racist sentiment either. I want all the non peaceful protests to stop, and both sides held accountable. It is you who is clueless and one sided.

It is not/should not be a crime for law enforcement to stop a criminal by any means possible. Your last statement is wrong, if you were opposed to crime and violence, you would accept that punishment/ control is needed.

Easy question Chuck.

How should the protestors be dealt with? How can a bunch of armed violent anarchist thugs, many of whom identify as some type of suppressed minority, most have a criminal past, be convinced to stop their actions, in a way that won't offend your sensibilities?

Do you see a peaceful way to end these protests, that won't be portrayed as racist, won't result in a disproportionate number of arrests, injuries or even deaths of minorities, which will only incite more violence in protest of it?

It is all well and good to take the moral high ground and call anyone who opposes the looting and burning a racist, but it takes a lot more foresight to offer up a practical solution, and I haven't heard one.

If two terms of a black president only made matters worse, what would it take?

[chuckChuck]

Stop the unnecessary racist police killings of black people. Bring the perpetrators to justice, condemn police violence and brutality and the protests will go away.

But if this continues people have the constitutional right to protest in a peacefull way. And it is not just left wing protesters who are the problem! LOL

Bring those who commit violence and crimes whether left or right to justice in a fair way. That is the solution. And that is what is happening in many cases.

But we have a President who is taking sides, encouraging division, and ignoring and condoning crimes by supporters.

So you don't have a solution. Just a problem. Thanks for clarifying.
Your very first line indicates that it will be impossible to break up the protests, because police will be involved, and black people, and it won't be non violent.

But at least you added LOL to a topic which no one finds amusing.

See there you go again Chuck2 I didn’t even mention left or right all I said was political affiliation, you just proved my point thank you.

Protestors that step over a line, just like the crazy SOB's blocking our railroads in winter....WATER CANNON! they will soon get the message, stay the fu ck off the streets and rails. There, NO police touches a minority with a grudge. No one dies, just gets real WET and in winter COLD and wet.
