I’ve seen some bad takes but arguing that people are rooting in the streets is not just rancid, it’s incredibly dangerous given all that’s been going on. Federal law enforcement isn’t on the ground in LA because of riots, they’re rioting.

Suggests a deep seated belief that some of us- those not on the right- should accept infringement of rights.

I remember Tom calling me childish for calling him out for saying that society was going to fall apart because he had to suffer the indignity of smelling weed in a major city. He is smart about a lot of things and I admire him for that. But damn he really is conservative coded to the core haha

He's a grown man that beats up on teenagers. Fuck that piece of garbage!

I guess there weren't any teenaged girls around for Tom to beat up on. Tom is a cunt, and always has been.

It’s fertile ground for bad actors to ramp things up. That doesn’t get the attention it should. People should stand up - but both are true at the same time.

Reminds me of the “white moderate” that MLK described as more committed to order than to justice.

Think things have pushed past what Mr Nichols can recognize anymore - hes stuck in the the media frame of the 90s-00s, where its all cops speak passive voice descriptions of police disfunction.

Tom spent decades supporting and enabling the party that created the conditions that brought us here. His judgement on this is shit.

Absolutely this. Every single pundit that opines on what is happening in LA without paying attention to the citizen journalists about how this is residents of the areas they are raiding. What would Tom do if ICE helicopters and armed people raided his kid’s elementary promotion? Applaud politely?

I can’t believe people haven’t blocked him, he’s a complete moron that’s confidently wrong and extremely smug about it

Tom Nichols is the most insufferable man that's ever been on the Internet, my proudest block.
