Obama’s contribution is always to make meaningless noise.

Because he’ll have nothing to exploit after they put an end to the mess.

The National Guard was good enough to restore order in the 1960s but not now. Wonder why? It wouldn’t be because of politics would it?

Maybe he’s worried that the NG will somehow disrupt his thugs.

Exactly! He needs this unrest to keep the black community voting Democrat this November and beyond, even though the Democrats have let these people down severely. It’s politics. It’s always politics.
Hell last week a young black man was shot and killed in a Dayton OH area WalMart. Why isn’t that incident being exploited like this one? The kid in that case was waving around an air rifle and didn’t put it down when ordered to.

I don’t buy it. The whole cluster hump has all the hallmarks of a typical Obama Chaos plan.
