BLM/Antifa groups rioted for months last year and they’re still rioting in some areas like Portland and Seattle where their local authorities have pretty much given them free rein.
But Democrats pretty much ignored the riots, pretended they were all peaceful protests or even in essence encouraging them by contributing to a bail fund to get out people arrested during the riots.
This despite the fact that the riots were a continuing assault on the state and the federal government, particularly in places like Portland where they tried to burn down the federal courthouse for months and injured dozens of cops.
Thaddeus Williams
Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists,
Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to “truly execute justice” as Scripture commands.

The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice.

Williams believes that social justice is both biblically required and socially necessary. But he also believes it’s threatened by an unhealthy imitation that’s biblically false and socially destructive. The former he calls “Social Justice A” (as in “awesome”) and the latter “Social Justice B” (as in “bad”).
