CNN, Pumps out more garbage

CNN guest David Peisner caught flak Saturday for claiming that the only violence taking place in the fiery uproar underway in Atlanta is being instigated by police. "I think that there’s a real blurring of the lines in the use of the word violence. Is property destruction violence? To some people it certainly is. But, you know, this idea that breaking windows or other acts of property destruction are the same as actual violence against humans, it’s kind of a dangerous and slippery concept,’" he told CNN's Pamela Brown Saturday on "CNN Newsroom."

"You keep using these words ‘violent, violent, violent, violent'… The only acts of violence against people that I saw were actually police tackling protesters," he added. Peisner further suggested the group of rioters was "small" and that people involved in the incident were acting apart from the "Defend the Forest" movement memorializing 26-year-old activist Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, who was killed in a gunfire exchange Wednesday after allegedly firing at Georgia state troopers.

I don’t believe that. There was a customer where I worked who came back to pay off his car after he moved to Atlanta. This was about 10 years ago. He had lived there before. He was telling me how mobs would rush into shopping malls and loot even without any kind of politics going on. He was very disgruntled about that and used some strong language telling me. Criminals start the crap and don’t believe that the police have any right to try to stop what’s going on.
