When adding the context that over 200 locations with demonstrations included violence, it is remarkably awful. Not at all. For one, the number that I provided to you is not even known by the right wing hate mongers who think minority protesters are more violent than white terrorists. The numbers don't hold up. Second, put together 100 events where angry white people attend with alcohol and I'l assure you that you'll get more than seven incidents of violence. Ain't gonna sell with me.

What is your 7% source? The times (link) or the ACLED report (link), correct? In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations, meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests. In many urban areas like Portland, Oregon, for example, which has seen sustained unrest since Floyd’s killing, violent demonstrations are largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city (CNN, 1 September 2020). 1 out of 10 distinct locations with demonstrations included violence! There is no positive spin! I assure you that the science will support that violence often increases among men with alcohol... regardless of skin color.

The sources are included, but for methodology, I always go to the original source, as methodology is where any potential flaws can be found. All I know is that the 7% number dies not match with the fantasy that you tried to sell earlier in this thread. You tried to insinuate that their protests are violent. Statistics show otherwise.

This picture is likely from the Unite the Right terrorism. https://time.com/5886348/report-peaceful-protests/ Same logic when applied to the axis powers in WW2: Of 87 million Germans fewer than 7 million (8%) ever picked up much less fired/operated a weapon. For the Italians the percentage was even lower. So, actually, WW2 at 94%+ was EVEN MORE PEACEFUL than our peaceful summer of love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
