Calling for the quelling of an insurrection is not "glorifying violence," it is exactly what a government is supposed to do.

By calling for the military to shoot protesting citizens? Come on.

How is looting stores and destroying public property a proper way to protest?

Ever heard of the Boston Tea Party?

The Boston Tea Party was a deliberate provocation. If the protesters here are trying to incite a violent revolution, I suppose that's their right in some sense, but all of us who don't want a revolution have a right to be put out by it.

Replying to krapp: violent armed protest protected by the constitution is explicitly targeted at the government in response to loss of freedom. That may be justification for attacking a police station, but not local businesses.
