The tragedy of the riots sparked by George Floyds death was brought home by a distraught elderly black woman interviewed by the local ABC affiliate in her ruined south Minneapolis neighborhood.
These people did this for no reason, wept Stephanie Wilford, who lives in an apartment next to where shops were looted and burned Friday night. They went straight to . . . every store over here that I go to. I have nowhere to go now and I have no way to get there because the buses arent running.
The violence is not going to bring George back. George is in a better place than we are. Im going to be honest, I wish I was where George was.
But liberal agitators dont care about Stephanie and the poor urban communities that have been destroyed in the four-day orgy of self-congratulatory violence they sanctioned.
They are too busy dreaming up fantasy scapegoats.
Videos abound on social media of shadowy figures, dressed in black, systematically smashing store windows, but not looting, cutting through fences outside police stations, but not pushing the fences over softening defenses for the rioters.
These are the domestic terrorists who have hijacked peaceful protests across the country. Attorney General Bill Barr described them in his Saturday press conference as outside radicals and agitators [who] are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda.
In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchistic and far-left extremists, using Antifa-like tactics.
This is why Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison pretends that the external agitators in Minneapolis riots were Trump-voting white supremacists, because the former DNC deputy chairman is one of those in his party who has normalized Antifa as a useful part of the political process.

Sad that ANYONE is agreeing that this protesting and the rioting that it provoked is okay. Yet Martin King III said it was just a continuance and Trump is to blame.
"Stop. You're making me blush."
Will Stephanie Wilford still vote for the liberal democrats that are responsible for this mess?
Yes?
That’s what I thought.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Were our media actually able to care about minorities as people and not as plantation residents, they’d start telling the minorities that Democrats are their enemies.
That Democrats founded and peopled the KKK.
That Democrats sided with the south in the civil war.
That Democrats destroy EVERYTHING they touch because they are silly vermin that actually think that they can think.
But, we know that’ll never happen.
Because media are Democrats. After all, when all you can get is a mere journalism or political ‘science’ degree, what else can you do?
These are not George Floyd riots! They are acts of terrorism and war being committed under the guise of demonstrations for George Floyd!
It’s a real shame (but not a coincidence) that the level of political discourse has fallen to such a low level.
They are trying to pin this on President Trump because OrangeManBad. They don’t really need a reason beyond that.
Some guy in Minneapolis seems to have misbehaved.
Some cop in Minneapolis seems to have killed him.
THEREFORE all US cities should burn.
THEREFORE it’s Trump’s fault.
THEREFORE White people are all bad.
In a rational society, such political “positioning” would have to be justified through some sort of cogent argument. But these days, no one even tries. And to expect rational discussion on the matter is just “racist”.
Obama is calling for more protests.
i do feel for the innocents who’re are being hurt by the destruction of their neighborhoods, but i guarantee you that 99% of those people voted a straight Democrat ticket ... i wonder if any of them will change their minds during the next election? I kind of doubt it ...
Quit voting Dem. I bet she has all her life.
Will Stephanie Wilford still vote for the liberal democrats that are responsible for this mess?
Yes?
Thats what I thought.

The video of that woman broke my heart. Imho you have an ugly heart to come up with that response without knowing anything about her
“are the price of liberalism”
Not the full price, just an installment payment.
What do they all have in common? Every single one of them has a Democrat mayor.
Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

The hypocrisy is amazing. Viva la revolucion, until it reaches my neighborhood.
“The hypocrisy is amazing. Viva la revolucion, until it reaches my neighborhood.”
Excellent point.
Several times over the last few days, I wished the rioters would turn toward Minneapolis communities such as Linden Hills, Kenwood, East Isles, etc.
Those neighborhoods are almost exclusively white, upper class and chock full of guilt-ridden NIMBY liberals.
I so badly wanted them to see the fruits of what they’ve voted for.
The headline is BS. “Liberals” are for the Rule of Law, individual liberty and responsibility, free markets and free trade, etc. The term “Liberal” has been FUBAR into its exact opposite meaning by Socialists abetted by people who think they are Conservatives but aren’t. The US government, the Democrats, the Republicans, and most Americans are ALL Socialists of one stripe or another. These riots are the work of Socialists who are at the stage of Fascism. The Liberal brand has been destroyed by its enemies, but we desperately need to revive the concept as embodied in our Constitution, and drive Socialism-Communism-Fascism back to hell whence it came.
I was thinking today about the Hollywood liberals...
The other day they promised to pay for bail for the rioters...encouraging the rioters to keep on smashing and grabbing and looting and burning...
the next night the rioters were in Hollywood...smashing and grabbing and looting and burning...
Karma !!!!
Terence Floyd the brother of George and a black pastor from NYC had a “prayer vigil” in downtown Minneapolis today and both of them were telling the black attendees and the TV audience how to vote in Nov...
BTW they were calling on and worshiping the name of George Floyd and not Jesus Christ...
Neither one told the rioters to stop rioting...
The pastor said the “protests” would continue until they got “justice” IOW until the cops were tried and convicted...
