One of the things that has distinguished the present radical leftists from a lot of the leftists is that they no longer have any limits. Once upon a time it was understood even among folks on the left that it was wrong to go to protest at someones home.
Not anymore. These radical leftists have made it a part of their cannon to force local politicians to do what they want.
Weve seen that in places like Seattle where theyve marched on the homes of the mayor and members of the city council. Marching on the mayors home had the opposite effect, making her finally say enough is enough and end the autonomous zone that they had set up in a part of the city.
But its an intimidation tactic and they tried it last night on Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago.
They had received the news, as we reported yesterday, that Lightfoot was agreeing to allow federal agents to come in and help out with the violence and shootings in Chicago. Now, bottom line is, the feds dont need her permission to come in, they can send supplemental agents to help out with their enforcement of federal law anywhere in the country they choose. But as a courtesy, the president spoke with Lightfoot and further shot down the ridiculous things she and other Democrats were saying about troops or roaming the city.

Living in Maryland I followed the Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore, but it was nothing like this riots spread to cities across the country.
The Video in Floyd is damning, but that still cant explain it all.
I think it's COVID fueling it : Jobs shut down, federal government replacing them with welfare, OOOPS I mean stimulus checks,...too much free time.
And the orders on large gatherings cancelled at the first BLM matches
Well, when calling a fact a fact is termed “hate speech”, it can result in people replacing a political “canon” with a physical “cannon”!
No.
Between the decline of education, that is the first hiring of hippie Marxists by college English departments, to their mis-educated students pumping out blogs, to the cost-cutting elimination of editors at news organizations and other publications, it’s unfortunately commonplace.
Torch this Bit*h’s house to the ground, and drag her a$$ out and show her some BLM love!
I lost my last nerve as soon as I read it. As sad as it seems I fear that very few know the difference between one n and two. English is no longer taught and is spoken less every day. We need a new name for the current pidgin language as it is certainly not English.
Canon, not cannon.
So, camera parts?? :-)
Dont forget to interrogate them while in custody to find out where their financial support came from...
I said at the beginning of April when the lockdowns started that if they continue into may we will see riots. And here we are.
The cause of these riots are the lockdown. The Floyd video was just the spark it needed. If it hadn’t been that it would have been something else. Count on it.
And I don’t think the video is damning at all. When you look at the full story, I suspect those officers are all going to walk, just like the guys that beat Rodney King did (at first), and George Zimmerman did.
Id suggest that autocorrect will be the death of homonyms, but Id probably be accused of hate-speech.
A Quinn Martin Production.
I found an upside to this whole BLM thing....
We are no longer obligated to use the nonsensical term “African-American”.
BLM thugs works!
Was Lightfoot one of the marchers?
To her own governors mansion?
I read today that she had a statue of Columbus removed in the middle of the night so it sounds like the anarchists got something for the march.
I know nothing of autocorrect but from what I have seen it should be called auto INcorrect. The only way a computer program can correct spelling is to guess at what the word is supposed to be based on context and that often comes out wrong. Some of the most garbled posts I have seen are blamed on so called autocorrect. English is said to be one of the very most difficult languages to learn but the only people who seem to understand the rules of the language now are a few who speak it as a second language. Native speakers often use words that mean the exact opposite of what they intend to say.

Is it real? The TV ratings were up ?
I had an easier time dealing with typos than with some of the gibberish that autocorrect produces. The only benefit that I see is that its sometimes humorous. Or is it humerus?
Has she called the police yet?
Good things are coming out of their mini rebellion and the continual bad CV 19 decisions by blue mayors and governors.
I would have to be labeled: English/Scottish/German/African and Native American as per my DNA.
American works for me and my family.
