Do people who who riot and injure others also divide?

How about people who torch and pillage?

Do they divide?

Those who are rioting and looting are on the wrong side of the line - they do not represent peaceful protestors. They are dividing, and masking the true message, and I can only suspect having a divisive leader will add fuel to the fire.

It is as though Trump drew the line, then stepped over to the other side.

If someone was tearing up, setting fire, or otherwise destroying your things, I would actually come and dominate that someone for free.

Would you wear leather and call them a bad boy?

Also, what if those people are Trump supporters, trying to make it look like Blacks are evil?
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

I suppose you could say they're drawing a line in the sand...
I haven't seen Roundy supporting hte actions of looters though, so this seems like a strawman in development.
I have not offered a strawman.

We were talking about divisive actions.

I fail to see why anyone would find it remarkable that Trump is divisive when everyone on the planet has dividing lines, even you.

Again, if you have no problem with divisiveness why did you bring it up in the first place?   ???

Please...Trump supporters do not make it look like Black people are evil.

Evil people are evil.

For the record, I would not wear leather and I would not call them a bad boy.

It would simply be a fight, period.

I would not sit back and take any kind of that shit.

I would make them pay for their insolence.

These people have been doing the will of their leader...which, I do not think is Trump...yeah, I am pretty sure these shitbags don't give a good goddamn about what Trump thinks or what he says.

I haven't seen any rioters shot and killed, unlike Kent State in the 70's.

Yes, I can both clarify and specify you have zero freaking clue about what you read if you are going to make a claim like this.

Well, evidently I can read at least ;)

Edit:

I want to clarify my previous statement:

I do not think that ALL Trump supports are evil. Some of my family members support Trump - for reasons I think are foolish - but they support him nonetheless, and they are not evil people.

Those who would exploit a tragedy such as this, I would consider evil.

Roundy, you brought up the issue.

We discussed it in the forum.

As usual, you presented the subject in your typical, "I have a problem recognizing Trump as a human with faults, please try to understand!" fashion, then when presented with follow up points, then comes the, "Wait, you brought it up!" schtick...

You can wonder all you wish about my direction...but until you actually find one, I doubt the direction of others should be foremost on your mind...advice free of charge.

I did get the gist.  Words can be incredibly crucial in conveying different thoughts.  That's why I asked you to clarify, because I thought it could have been a typo or miscommunication.  In your traditional fashion you took it as an attack and got very defensive and then tried to make it my failing.  This isn't surprising.

If you got the gist then you could have simply wrote, "Hey, you forgot to include the word 'not' in your post."

Do not try to act as if you would or could possibly conceive of doing anything helpful on this board.

That would be putting words in your mouth.  I don't know you well enough to know if you had made a typo.  I had no responsibility to do anything, but I drew the quote to your attention, mentioned how it read and asked if that was what you meant.
