"The phony protesters near Lafayette were not peaceful and are not real. They are terrorists using idle hate filled students to burn and destroy. They were abusing and disrespecting the police when the police were preparing the area for the 1900 curfew."

Peaceful protestors including clergy who are treated the wounded: terrorists

Actual ***** Nazis: good people

This is not surprising. Similar language was often used to describe protestors back in the 60s. MLK, remember, was surveilled as a "communist" because the FBI could not see the connections King made between segregation and civil rights violations as legitimate and organic. That was just rabble rousing and disrespecting America. Had to be instigated by "outside agitators" with "an agenda."

A similar inability to recognize authentic protest was at work when rightists rumored that the Florida high school students protesting school shootings were really actors.

No legitimate protest anywhere, just a thinly veiled facade of "leftists" creating dissatisfaction and false crises where none would otherwise exist.

(PS if Hollo is following this, note the lawyers mention of unmotivated "hate" as a causal factor. lol)
