Although I must say I was impressed that the mayor called them “rioters’ instead of “protestors”.

Papenfuse can sound like a pro-business centrist, almost reasonable at times, but you need to look at what he does, not what he says. He's a frickin' socialist. He comes from the old school of libtards, he hides his true intentions behind reasonable speech.

Everyone does it, but the enemedia, blacks, and the pols won’t admit it

People move for a reason, and it has less to do with skin color, than crime, schools, and culture

That’s on “them”

Anybody in Harrisburg PA is most likely from out-of-town. The city works from 9-5PM Monday to Thursday and everybody blows out of there early on a Friday. That’s what you get when your city’s only business is state government.

Yep. Something along those lines for sure.

Can you imagine if these folks got true power.

There would be major purges.

*** This is when Papenfuse said a white woman used a pole to smash the police vehicle’s window, then punched an officer in the face. ***

See... what this oh-so liberal mayor of Harrisburg is trying to avoid saying is... white people within Harrisburg city limits on a weekend when there isn’t a Senator’s baseball game automatically means “someone not from here”.

Lots of the out of towners are cousins that live in small towns that come up to blaze the City with their boys.

Twitter and Facebook do their part.

Now, Seattle and Portland - totally different.

All the Mayors and Governors love a scapegoat to blame for what their own citizens are also doing and celebrating along with those doing the destruction. If you’re there among the rioters you’re just as guilty.

That is pretty much the case. Harrisburg City proper is small, population around 49,000. I'm sure there were protesters from the Hill (Alison Hill), a black neighborhood. I am positive there were protesters from outside the city. I can write that because I was sitting out on my deck last night, with friends from the city ironically, and my neighborhood was completely quiet. It was a beautiful evening only to be interrupted by an argument up the street. Some loud mouth black Karen was arguing with her husband about going into the city. She went. Her cuckold husband stayed behind. Normally my neighborhood is dead quiet. Turkeys of the bird variety make the most noise even though there are several negro families here.

The rioting and looting will continue until the Democrat politicians think that it’s costing them.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight

Because black people have never burnt their own hoods down

.

This has become the new LIE of the left. Sure ANTIFA is there but so are black hood rats. We HAVE EYES and can see who it is.

Pretty sure we KNOW ANTIFA is there, who is TRUMP by the way is that President Trump?
ah uh
Anyway, we saw who has been arrested so far for throwing Molotov cocktails and they were not out of state nor were they White Supremacists. Pretty sure a couple were black attorneys and two were white Antifa chicks.

Perhaps you could arrest some of them, put them on trial, do an investigation, and let the whole country learn about them, where they came from, who is paying them, and where they learned their trade.

Agreed. Lets see more mug shots and names.

“One municipality I was reading about had 86% of the 36 people they arrested, locals.”

Oddly quite believable. 14% organized violent radicals is all you need to set off the fireworks. Break a few windows and doors and start stealing. Then much of the rest will follow so they can get their fee S—t also. Classic radical mob organizational rules.
