Did Obama speak out about the violence yet?
Funny some in the media want Trump to address the violence, but are not asking the same of Obama.

Give me a break. How did Trump cause it? You think these thugs are going to listen to Trump?

@GunSmoke9: lol thugs? I assume Trump is the epitome of decency. His campaign has been the most inclusive. Muslims, lgbt, Hispanics, blacks have everything to cheer!

@GunSmoke9: he caused it by living his life as 1 big financial scam and then running for president and I'm sure you wouldn't call them thugs if they shared your political opinion

@BigAsset: Yes thugs. Burning cars, destroying property, thugs. Do you have a better name for them?

@GunSmoke9: a vast majority of the protests have been peaceful. Mostly high school and college students. Only in one place there has been violence and that violence is NOT okay. But to focus on that is losing the point. The large people protesting are doing so because they are scared and are protesting against it.

@lorne13: Total bull. If they were causing damage I would feel the same. If they want to protest, protest the DNC. They cheated Sanders.

@GunSmoke9: I attended two of the earliest protests, which were somber but peaceful, [b]multiracial[/b], calm. We all walked down to City Hall, some carried signs, and some addressed the gathering, but afterwards we dispersed. Imagine my surprise to read on Breitbart about our "riot". Later, in different cities there was some unrest, mainly by the same outside agitators who join such efforts But the right-wing rags would have you thinking that everywhere people gathered there were race wars. And you folks are quite willing to believe [b]that.[/b]

@bijouxbroussard: So cops are arresting peaceful protesters? I have nothing against peaceful protests, but let's not deny that violence is taking place.

@GunSmoke9: Like I said, you will believe what you want, and then have the nerve to call the media "hate-mongers" when they post Trump actually speaking.

@bijouxbroussard: I believe facts, do you? When did I call the media hate mongers? By the way, I'm not a big fan of Trump. Unlike most of the left I'm keeping an open mind, did the same when Obama first got elected.
