No and yes, respectively. OP is just being coy; they fully know this and tipped their hand by referring to the demonstrations as riots.
> If it's the second, well...
- honkdaddy 4y agoWould you not classify them as riots? What word would you use? I'm Canadian but was living in Seattle at the time. Businesses were burned, cars were flipped, statues torn down. I'm not trying to downplay the importance of what was being protested, but to pretend it was a peaceful demonstration is laughable. Riot is a perfectly reasonable word to describe it.
- WalterGR 4y agoAt issue is your word choice and how that goes to the answers of ant_li0n’s questions for you.
- Giorgi 4y agoIt was full scale riots to the point that rioters actually looted. Don't push your propaganda on Hacker News, please.
