A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
If they’re expressing their opinions, even loudly and angrily, they’re protestors, but if they’re destroying property or injuring people they’re rioters and if they’re stealing property, they’re looters.
It may be time to amend our use of deadly force laws to include defense of property.

If Twitter and other platforms become responsible for content, Trump might very well be censored so much he would effectively be banned.
I just happened to come across this in the comments section of Sally Jenkins article today in The Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/05/30/this-is-why-colin-kaepernick-took-knee
