A white militia can have legit grievances too. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of them that are just flat out lunatics, but blanket statements should be avoided. Government, in general, is constantly trying to attack our rights, with more rules, regulations, fees, and taxes. As an IL resident, I see it quite often.
The whole Covid situation is also proof of this. People were denied their right to peacefully assemble, for months, for religious services. They were attacked for protesting the lockdowns that were keeping them from providing for their families. These riots and protests happen, over George Floyd's death, and all the sudden it's a different ball game, and just fine with Democrat leaders. For the record, I hope the cop that killed him gets the death penalty. It was cold blooded murder, of a man drunk on power, imo.
I support everybody's right to peacefully protest, or attend religious services. Just because you don't agree with someone politically, doesn't give you the right to deny people rights guaranteed in the constitution. I agree we have an issue with police, but it's not racial. They have been killing everyone, and their dogs too, without any real punishment, for far too long. Long published stats prove it's not racial.
I do have an issue with the destruction of monuments, especially those of people that actually fought to free slaves. Recently saw how "protesters" went after a statue of Fredrick Douglas, a black abolitionist. It shows an utter ignorance of history, and an absolute failure of our public education system, with regards to teaching history. Saw a video of an older black gentleman trying to protect, and explain to a woman of another statue/monument, she wanted to destroy, of it's actual history. She couldn't shut up long enough to listen.
