VIOLENT BLM Anti-Police Rallies Planned for 37 US Cities

Almost exactly 50 years removed from the “summer of love” (1967), which featured major riots in Newark and Detroit, among others. I’ll have to see if I have a pair of bell-bottoms tucked away somewhere (getting them around my waist may be a bit tricky however).

“RIOTS, URBAN, OF 1967. Beginning in April and continuing through the rest of the year, 159 race riots erupted across the United States. The first occurred in Cleveland, but by far the most devastating were those that took place in Newark, New Jersey, and Detroit, Michigan. The former took twenty-six lives and injured fifteen hundred; the latter resulted in forty deaths and two thousand injuries. Large swaths of ghetto in both places went up in flames. Television showed burning buildings and looted stores, with both National Guardsmen and paratroopers on the scenes.”

The more things change, the more they stay insane (or something like that - I’ll have to check the original French).

2016 is about to become 1968-redux.
