I'm observing how this is breaking down into questioning where I live (in another post), or whether what I say happened actually happened. Should I not believe that people's post's here defending cities are from legitimate experience (at least as stated, in their bubbles)? What happened to the "believe" people ethic? I don't live in Oakland. What do you want me to read carefully, super-sleuth? To what purpose? In spite of your masterful rhetorical question, you're wrong about the event in question and location. Consider that a lot of the country was terrorized in a manner that you and much of the nation is blind to. These are people who will be forming opinions and voting for a long time to come. Given that the Press's obvious mandate was to whitewash the violence so that it continued. You can't be good with nine months of nationwide riots and then ever think that you understand the impact or can get a handle on everything that occurred via zero-start google searches.

Those other commenters are talking about named cities which the rest of us are able to verify what they say based on simple internet searches. You are describing an unnamed war-torn hellscape that matches no city in America. It’s like something out of a fictional writing class. Which of those two types of comments are something you would believe? >Consider that a lot of the country was terrorized in a manner that you and much of the nation is blind to. These are people who will be forming opinions and voting for a long time to come. We are _trying_ to consider them. But we are unable to make the leap from reality to the fantasy world you’ve been describing, so it’s really hard. >Given that the Press's obvious mandate was to whitewash the violence so that it continued. I guess it is a pretty good thing we live in a modern world with an internet that lets anybody that wants to share actual evidence. Unfortunately it also allows people to post they made up accounts they use in a conservative fireside story telling event, but those are identifiable by including outlandish details that would be easily verifiable, but also refusing to provide evidence, like names of cities.
