Remember the controversy about the expression "Black lives matter"? Anyone who insisted that all lives matter was shouted down and vilified by leftist thugs. The same thing is occurring with respect to violence. President Trump insists that all violence is to be condemned and punished. Leftist thugs shout him down, claiming that only white violence is to be condemned and punished. Trump should ignore the thugs. All lives matter and all violence is to be condemned and punished. It follows that black lives matter and that white violence is to be condemned and punished.
