One of the most abused terms in the modern era is, in my opinion, "peaceful protest."
You see the term get dragged out by the media and keyboard warriors exclusively for leftist protests, and the funny thing is, there doesn't have to be anything peaceful about it. It could be a group of people burning down entire city blocks, taking them over through force by driving out law enforcement, or actively interfering with law enforcement, and they will still label it as "peaceful."
A group of conservatives gets together, however, and apparently, it's five minutes to doomsday.
This has created one of the most annoying and infuriating creatures in the Western world: the modern leftist protester. They've got it in their heads that they can do whatever they please. Burn a building, break a window, steal merchandise, assault people, and actively try to stop police from doing their job, and nothing will happen. They're "peaceful," and if you try to stop a "peaceful" protester from protesting, you're a fascist!
What is a fascist? Don't ask them. They don't actually know.
What they do know is exactly what blue state leadership has taught them through their consistent soft-handed approach to them, and that's the fact that they are, in fact, the ones who are actually in control.
When they chant the phrase "Whose streets? Our streets," they're not just puffing out their chests. They believe they, the mob, are the actual rulers.
You'll notice, however, that these mobs are only so brave in various places, namely in deep blue cities. They know that there, being arrested is actually clout. They'll be led away in handcuffs as they scream and play to the cameras that they're peaceful and are being unfairly arrested by fascists. Then they go through processing and are released the next day, no worse for the wear, and possibly even sooner than that.
They aren't really sacrificing anything for their beliefs; it's all for the show. The issue is that the show actually does spur outrage that will, sometimes, end in a riot. It certainly ends with misinformed votes. At its extreme end, it ends with innocent people dead. I can still see retired police Captain David Dorn bleeding out as someone panics while recording his last moments.
This obviously has to stop, and I think that after the riots, the destruction, and the deaths, many are in agreement. These "protesters" take it too far, so it's time to start really coming down on those who think they can chant angrily with a grin, then directly stop law and order from being established in our country. I'm tired of my blood pressure rising as I watch police officers stand by impotently while protesters plant their figurative flag on top of the rubble they create while burning the American flag.
This is why moments like this actually make me feel good.

I voted for this. I voted for law and order, and I think that the more of these we see, the more we step toward that.
These protesters aren't being arrested for show by local law enforcement, who actually encourage this kind of behavior through light sentencing. These are federal agents, operating under federal authority, and thus, when they arrest you, you're now under federal law.
They're not going to get a soft slap on the wrist and a smile. Real consequences are about to befall these people, and the moment they realize that the show isn't worth the punishment, the show will not go on, at least for many people looking to impress their peers.
I'm tired of watching innocent people get hurt because a handful of idiots who are cosplaying as moral freedom fighters foment rage and promote destruction. I'm tired of watching the radical Left feel comfortable causing chaos that we end up having to pay for. I'm tired of politicians being afraid to come down on them for fear that they'll be labeled something they aren't by people who don't even know what the label means.
I'm thrilled to see these arrests happening. I can't stop watching them. It gives me a sense of peace.
To be clear, I'm a very freedom-based individual who thinks the government should have very little power at the end of the day, but I've been around enough to know the difference between good law and order and bad law and order, and it's about time we get to see the good kind finally being established.
