white or black we need to prosecute if they committed violence

Does that include calmly shattering windows to businesses, then walking away?  If so, I agree.

I thought the 'pew-pew' thread was becoming useful.  Oh well.

We had one bad night here of looting, but very little since, and the arrests totals have gone to near zero.  The curfew was lifted.  The odd thing about the looting is there is not much to loot downtown.  Someone tried to get into a jewelry store but all the merch was locked away.  Someone broke windows at some restaurants, which of course doesn't offer much chance to loot anything useful.  I was concerned that Friday night a week back, our front desk guy said not to worry.  I offered to sit with him if he wanted.  

Our entrance has a lot of glass, but once in the lobby you need a key fob to use the elevators or the stairs, and our unit doors are substantial.

Maybe the looting types all came out and got nabbed and the only folks left are protesters.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. 
I guess I'm on the other side of the coin now, huh? 


I'm going to paraphrase your post:  Being direct and omitting the niceties or fluff may make your reader misunderstand your content.


WHAT THE WHAT?

See, what you call "niceties or fluff" is what some others would call "good manners."
An occasional admission that most of what you say is opinion rather than assertion of fact would probably soothe some ruffled feathers.
Good manners are to a great degree just an unspoken agreement that we all abide by some originally arbitrary behaviors.  We have fewer of those than a lot of cultures who speak different languages do.  Bilingual (English-Spanish) telephone salespeople take much longer handling conversations with Spanish-speakers because of all the conversational courtesies in Spanish/Hispanophone culture.  We have far fewer in American English.  But we've still got some.  And an occasional "IMO" or "JMODMIR" is a way of unintentionally offending people.  Now, if you like intentionally offending people, and you enjoy the ensuing arguments that ensue over how the readers have misconstrued what you are trying to say, then, by all means, continue to state your opinions as if they were assertions of fact.

Most crimes of violence and looting aren't federal offenses.  So I suspect most of the charging will be done at state/local level.  Interstate crime/conspiracies bring the feds in, though.

unless its a national group acting in a domestic terrorist fashion

crossing state lines to commit violence

Yeah, I think if they cross state lines, it becomes Federal. Like that asshat from Illinois who went to Minneapolis.
