Are we enroute to a civil war?

The events of the past all too many months seem to point in a direction I thought America would never go.  From a country that was mostly peaceful to one where riots and anarchy are widespread. From cities where people wanted to be to where people never want to go. From vibrant shopping areas in major cities to looted, burned and boarded up stores. From pride in America to disgust over the handling of these riots by leftist politicians, who pander to anything that gets them another vote. 

Look at the list of cities that are not only having riots, but who also appear to support the rioters. They are almost all Democrat controlled. No, I will not call them protesters, or demonstrators or even activists. This has turned into full scale riots by thugs, anarchists and miscreants who wish to destroy our country and our government. And, sadly, the law enforcement agencies in these cities are hamstrung and not allowed to quell the riots. IF they had been allowed to do their jobs, the end to these alleged "peaceful" protests would have occurred quickly. 

People need to understand the difference between First Amendment rights to peaceful protest, and when it turns ugly to the point when property damage and injury to people takes over. I see one major issue is how the politicians keep saying people have the right to protest, but seem to have lost any ability to see when it turns into something else.  When protest turns to defiance and insurrection, the "peaceful" protest is over. The crowd says it's "civil disobedience" to try and wrap their destruction into a two word phrase they may or may not be able to comprehend. Civil disobedience is NOT rioting, NOT looting, NOT mayhem and violence and certainly NOT murder. But try and tell that to people throwing firebombs or large explosives at the police. 

I believe civil war is coming, if not imminent. This won't be black against white as so many hoped. There are great people of all races disgusted with this denigration of our society and the good will band together to quell the uprising by the anarchists and far left wing groups. People will be fighting to restore the country we knew and loved long before the anarchists and leftists decided to try and destroy it. Socialists and Marxists, funded by ego maniacal billionaires will not succeed. There are way too many patriots in this country to allow that. 

There is a fine line between where someone's first amendment rights end and someone else's second amendment rights begin. Those who choose to ignore logic and common sense in a quest to destroy America may well find they are horribly wrong when the sleeping giant arises. This is not the first time patriots have been called upon to crush an enemy, and they will rise to the occasion. And for so many patriots, this isn't their first rodeo!
