(Worthy News) - America's political divisions turned violent on Washington's streets during U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday, as black clad anti-establishment activists set fires and clashed with police while Trump supporters cheered the new chief executive.

Hundreds of protesters with varying agendas marched through downtown streets, and some groups clashed with police, throwing rocks and bottles which police responded to with tear gas and concussion grenades. A helicopter hovered low overhead.

At one flash point, a protester hurled an object through the passenger window of a police van, which quickly sped away in reverse as demonstrators cheered. Earlier, activists wearing masks used chunks of pavement and baseball bats to shatter the windows of a Bank of America branch and a McDonald's outlet, all symbols of American capitalism. [ Source ]

90 arrested in clashes near Trump parade route

Several spirited demonstrations unfolded peacefully at various security checkpoints near the Capitol as police helped ticket-holders get through to the inaugural ceremony. Signs read, “Resist Trump Climate Justice Now,” ”Let Freedom Ring,” ”Free Palestine.”

But about a mile from the National Mall, police gave chase to a group of about 100 protesters who smashed the windows of downtown businesses including a Starbucks, a Bank of America and a McDonald’s as they denounced capitalism and Trump. Police in riot gear used pepper spray from large canisters and eventually cordoned off protesters at 12th and L streets in northwest Washington. [ Source ]

Yep, that was expected. I heard that at least 95 were arrested.

Violent people will avail themselves of opportunity to express themselves and assail the peace and loot for their personal gain.

The acquittal of violent police who assailed Mr.Rodney King and the airing of that wrong verdict  is the first example that comes to mind. Violent people launched their hatred under that excuse. Claiming they were outraged at the violence the police were allowed to get away with by a jury. And then those same people commenced to commit violence against their own communities, those communities citizens, and any innocent people within the vicinity.

It's an excuse. Not reason.

That element that seeks to stir conflict lives off the fumes of success. Psychic vampires are what they're called by some. Be they physically assaultive or verbally baiting hatred through the media. We do indeed know them by their fruits. Because they put it out there for all to see.
