Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, has recently addressed the unrest in Los Angeles, condemning the violence and chaos. He emphasized his stance against destructive actions in a post on Wednesday.
Fetterman's post included a list of actions that people should and should not engage in. The "DO NOT" section specifically mentioned looting, arson, and assaulting law enforcement. Conversely, the "DO" section encouraged peaceful protest, organizing to win elections, and calling out destructive behavior.
This strong condemnation of violence has resonated with some, including a Republican who publicly agreed with Fetterman's assessment. Fetterman's stance has positioned him as a voice of reason amidst the turmoil.
Earlier in the week, Fetterman had already voiced his disapproval of the events in Los Angeles. He stated his support for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration, but clarified that the current situation was not representative of those values. He argued that his party loses its moral standing when it fails to condemn violence.

Why is he only condemning violence when it’s convenient? Where was this voice when protests were happening peacefully?
