Unless you're talking about police officers doing the beating, which doesn't seem the case given your "left" remark, can you substantiate this claim? If so, how? I believe your comment is out of sync with reality, but sincerely welcome quantitative data to adjust my views.

You really should make an attempt to reply to comments as they are, rather than insisting on quoting sentences removed. Here is some video evidence to assist in adjusting your views as requested. Personally, I advise you (and other readers) not to watch them; this sort of thing isn't psychologically healthy. But it exists and its as appalling as the police brutality - but you don't seem to see so much of this in the mainstream media for some reason. https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1275104256643792901 https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1275104256643792901 https://twitter.com/SamParkerSenate/status/1273444656047513601 https://twitter.com/SamParkerSenate/status/12734446560475136...

  > You really should make an attempt to reply to comments as they are, rather than insisting on quoting sentences removed. I did. At the time I began my reply, it was in there. One of the reasons I replied was that sentence – it modifies the context of the rest of your words. I think that sentence was pretty messed up. Perhaps that's why you removed it. I skimmed each video in the threads you posted. Of them, two of the first (adults) and none of the second (with kids) appear to potentially take place in the recent riots. I'm not saying that violence doesn't occur there – it certainly does, but your original quote was: > There have been plenty of videos circling showing mobs during the recent riots beating people half and fully to death. (emphasis mine). The videos you posted of racial violence are tragic, and I don't question their authenticity. But they don't substantiate your earlier claim about the frequency of violence from rioters. This is the last I'm going to say about it – I regret replying in the first place. This wasn't productive. My bad.
