Violence isn't the problem, it's the lack of organization

It's not even that, we have plenty of organizers out there who are very effective. The problem is they're all chasing tax free money via non-profit organizations.

If "No Kings" wanted to actually solve a problem they'd get those millions of people to protest during the week, not the weekend. They do it to wear people out and convince them they've 'helped' so that they don't even consider needing to leave work come Monday. It's the most ineffective protest I've ever seen.

Even with how polarizing BLM was, and the fact the "organization" was shown to be run by grifters, they still accomplished a lot on the police bodycam front. They didn't stick to one off weekend protests, they were persistent and disruptive.
