How come every time Europe hosts a summit there's all these liberals dressed in black smashing stuff up?

all these liberals dressed in black

Isn't language fun?

You say "liberal", I say "militant".

My dictionary says:

Liberal: open to new behavior or opinions

Militant: combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause

One persons freedom fighter is another persons anarchist.

And if they were pro Trump you would denounce their behavior, but you wouldn't pull out your handy dictionary.

They're over 90% conservatives not liberals.

I might pull out my dictionary if you described them as "liberals" or "conservatives" or "pastry chefs". But that would be for your benefit, not mine. If they were engaging in violent behavior for a political cause, I'd still call them militants.

"Peaceful protests mark end of G-20 summit hours after riots"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/anti-g20-activists-riot-for-second-night-in-hamburg/2017/07/08/666f2cb4-63d4-11e7-80a2-8c226031ac3f_story.html

HAMBURG, Germany — Tens of thousands of peaceful protesters took to the streets to demonstrate against the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg on Saturday, hours after masked rioters clashed with police, burned cars and looted businesses.

Marching on a route close to where some of the worst violence unfolded overnight, protesters chanted, sang, danced and played music as world leaders wrapped up their two-day summit in the German port city.

> An eclectic crowd of families pushing baby carriages, Kurdish groups, Scottish socialists and anarchists waving flags and shouting anti-capitalist slogans progressed through the city accompanied by thousands of police officers.

> Despite the mayhem late Friday and early Saturday, many officers patrolling the march removed their helmets and appeared relaxed, providing escort as the huge crowds passed by.

Peaceful? In Germany? What videos were you watching? The violence was off THE charts.
