Are these Riots?

[Curious George]

I do not see reporting any story that deals with the destruction of private property while protesting as spin. Do you?.

Not only what one reports but also how one reports matters.

Do you not think that anytime any group from any political persuasion has elements of unlawful activity should be reported.

I think it should be reported.

To change the subject somewhat could you please answer a question for me?
I see film clips of protesters on college and university campuses protesting a person speaking and identify them as associated with fascist, Nazis, or another subject they do not agree with and do not want them speaking at their school. Is not the history of fascist, Nazis, and other totalitarian government not allowing freedom of speech. Seems to me that the protesters are exactly what they are accusing the others of being. Comment?

The irony of the protest is not lost on me. The idea that speech should be "shut down" because one disagrees is very anti-American.

Are you imagining a situation wherein this act is not visible to the public? Setting a cross on fire illegally in someone else's lawn would certainly alarm or threaten others who could view it, thereby satisfying the "public element." I suppose we could contrive such a situation wherein the act is completely private, but generally setting fire to a cross on someone's lawn is something that would reach the public.

Not really what I meant.
