CNN: Violent Atlanta Riots Aren’t Violent
CNN guest suggested that Antifa’s Atlanta riots in which protestors set car fires, smashed windows and fired fireworks at buildings were everything but “violent.”
David Peisner stated to CNN’s Pamela Brown, that the only violence he witnessed was when police officers apprehended rioters who set fire to the city.
“You keep using these words ‘violent, violent, violent, violent’… The only acts of violence against people that I saw were police tackling protesters,” Peisner spoke.
Liberal guests continued to say that destruction of property is not the equivalent of violence against people, and therefore it was acceptable.
“I think that there’s a real blurring of the lines in the use of the word violence. Is property destruction violence? To some people it certainly is. But, you know, this idea that breaking windows or other acts of property destruction are the same as actual violence against humans, it’s kind of a dangerous and slippery concept,” Peisner continued.
Libs of TikTok pointed out the interview, with one user comparing it to CNN’s coverage of the 2020 “Black Lives Matter” Protests after a reporter stated on-air that the demonstrations were “mostly peaceful” He was wearing safety glasses on his head, and cars were blazing behind him.
CNN’s guest suggests we shouldn’t use the word “violent” To describe the Antifa riots that took place in Atlanta tonight.

Gov. Gov.
“While the state continues to respect peaceful protest, acts of violence against person or property will not be tolerated. Those committing such unlawful acts will be arrested and prosecuted fully,” Kemp said.
These are not acts or protest. These are crimes that Georgia will not tolerate and will be prosecuted.
Many thanks for all your hard work. @ga_dps, @GBI_GA, @Atlanta_PoliceYou and other people who are actively keeping our streets safe tonight.

Twitter users voiced concern at the liberal media outlet’s description of the riots.
Looks like Soros and Antifa are doing what they’re paid to do.
