You're citing evidence that supports my view, that a certain segment of society has become accustomed to destroying property and assaulting people with virtual impunity. The rest of society is rising up to say, "Enough". The rioters and looters took a protest that had nearly universal approval and diminished that approval. They are making their case harder to accept by doing so.The totality of American citizens. Society has always set rules by which people are expected to live, and American society has set up rules wherein protests can occur without destruction of property or danger to life and limb. When you exceed those parameters, society will eventually stop it. The Civil Rights struggle in the 60's was successful in large part because the protesters were not violent, gained a lot of support from white Americans, and stayed the course in the face of persecution. What's going on now will not be as successful because the protesters who are trying to get a legitimate message across are being shouted out by the rioting, looting and mayhem. American society can handle protest, but riots looting and mayhem not so much.Who do you think "society " is?They do. They have the right to peaceful protest, just like right wingers do. They have the right to counter protest, just like right wingers do. They also have the right to be arrested for destroying or stealing property and for assaulting people, just like right wingers do. I think what you want is for the left to have the right to riot and destroy with no repercussions, as they've become accustomed to doing. Society is finally rising up to say, "Enough".It's called normal people sick of your radical leftist SJW BLM bull shit, and this is what push back looks like.
I think you better get used to it, because there's probably more of it coming.
You don't like it, then quit your sickening fucking protesting.
So you don't want Democrats to have the same rights that right wingers have??
Among other incidents, these volunteers have confronted a man throwing apples and threatening punches, a car driving toward a large crowd of pedestrians and a vehicle circling the block repeatedly and taking photos. Volunteers say they have engaged with armed visitors from outside the city who came to the zone convinced that Seattle needed saving from left-wing agitators.

I guess King and Kennedy didn't get assassinated for nothing then, right?
