>>1583960>political protest is such an absurdly important thing in a free democracy, and it should absolutely be the last thing to be restricted, and the first thing to be exempted from restrictions.Protests, yes. Riots, no.
>You'd agree if it was over something you believe in, and it's just absurd you refuse to uphold the basic principle.No. I would not agree to anyone looting and rioting in the name of some political opinion I share with them.
>And further>rules for thee, but not for me>what does that apply to? The fact she doesn't want people protesting at her family home and scaring her family and potentially violently attacking her home?Yes. Everyone who were not Lightfoot, her family or her neighbours were subject to that fear. And not only did they not have police protection, they were arrested if they brandished guns to warn the mob that if it come to it, they would protect themselves.
>The protests in general targeted businesses, not private residences. It's completely different.I'm sure that helped the children sleep at night who had mobs roaming the street outside their house at 3 am, banging shit, shining high power LED lights or throwing rocks through bedroom windows while scream-chanting "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKER, WAKE UP!" in megaphones and the like. I'm sure the children thought "They're generally targeting businesses" and just rolled over right back to sleep.
