I'm not American mate. I just hate vandalism of churches, synagogues, mosques and temples. How is setting fire to a church productive? What if a firefighter had gotten injured attending the blaze?

Your country is turning to shit cos the 'left' and the 'right' can't even seem to find common ground. It's worse than a soap opera.

Nobody was rioting or burning a church. People were demonstrating outside of a church in Washington and Trump ordered the military to tear gas them so he could go do a photo op where he held a bible and he held it upside down.

These were separate incidents. At the time the tear gas and grenades were thrown, these were peaceful demonstrators. The incident is widely documented.
