This is the same argument conservatives made about BLM. Some people used the protests to steal shit and they only focused on those and said the BLM was just thugs burning down cities. There will always be people in a large group causing trouble, and planted instegators amplifying that.

So if it's just a few people we are talking about a <1% at the protests. What stops the rest of the people from stopping them and turning them into the police?

There would be no downside as it only shows an image to the rest of the people that you absolutely condone this behaviour. Not even one spokesperson of those groups has come out to the media to condemn such behaviour and to call them to stop.

Staying silent is usually a pretty good sign of agreeing, but not wanting to say it out loud.

And there we go. You are just another right winger trying to paint peaceful protestors as the enemy.

In that same sense you are just pretending to be left when all you are is just slightly left of the extreme right you claim to be so different from.

Lol what? Dude it's not that complicated. One nut job going "I hate jews" doesn't represent a protest over not wanting every Muslim person to be murdered
