JIM GERAGHTY: Stop Downplaying the Violence in Our Cities. “If the people perpetuating mayhem on the streets of Kenosha and just about every major American city for the past few months are indeed morally and politically separate from those who came out to protest . . . why has anybody been reluctant to denounce them?”

To be fair, it’s only people with political leanings to the left with any reluctance. Although usually what we hear is straight-up refusal to denounce the rioters.

Refusal is far worse than reluctance, and to use the wrong word is to cheapen when the left has been getting away with.
