CNN Claims Atlanta R**ts Weren't 'Violent' As City Burns
Jan 24, 2023 08:45:32 #
A CNN guest suggested that the Atlanta r**ts, pursued by A****a, in which protestors set cars on fire, smashed windows, and shot fireworks at buildings, were everything but “violent.”
David Peisner told CNN's Pamela Brown that the only acts of violence he saw were when police officers were apprehending r****rs as they set the city on fire.
“You keep using these words ‘violent, violent, violent, violent'… The only acts of violence against people that I saw were police tackling protesters,” Peisner said.
The liberal guest went on to add that destruction of physical property is not the same as violence against humans, so therefore it is acceptable.
“I think that there’s a real blurring of the lines in the use of the word violence. Is property destruction violence? To some people it certainly is. But, you know, this idea that breaking windows or other acts of property destruction are the same as actual violence against humans, it’s kind of a dangerous and slippery concept,” Peisner continued.
Libs of TikTok pointed out the interview, with one user comparing it to CNN’s coverage of the 2020 “Black L***s M****r” protests when a reporter said on-air that the r**ts were “mostly peaceful” as he had safety goggles strapped to his head and cars were on fire behind him.

I saw that and I think the guy is either ignorant or just promoting support for violence. I wonder if P***d B**s were out there breaking windows, setting cop cars and other property on fire, would he call it violence then? I'd put money on it!!

Oh, heck YEAH they would! They claim Trump supporters calling out liberals is 'violence', but never the same for someone on the left. Saying "fight like hell" in a speech is 'instigating violence' but asking liberals to accost Trump supporters in restaurants is not, per them.
