This isn't so much a "surge" as it is the reaping the harvest of seeds sown over the decades.

Seeds of anger, bitterness, resentment, hopelessness, lack of self-worth, victimhood, self-pity and other such thoughts of downtroddeness.

They explained it all. Then said it isn’t easy to pinpoint.

As far as retreating on laws and enforcement, just compare them to Giuliani in the ‘90s and what happened there. Completely undone by DeBlase.

Sorry I should have explained. The first half of what i posted is an AP article. The second half is a blog writer criticising that article.

There is an easy explanation, and it doesn’t defy anything. The democrat party has recently given blm and other street mobs permission to steal, burn, attack people, rape, destroy and kill. It has demonized police and forbidden them to deal with non-White criminals, and so non-White criminals feel that nothing is going to stop them from their criminal acts, especially if they’re against Whites.

Flammatory, but true.

Gee, what could it be?

The changing of felonies to misdemeanors?
The emptying of jails and prisons?
The elimination of bail?

Gee, what could it possibly be?

That’s because the college educated but not intelligent idiots have to overthink the question while ignoring the obvious, because as we all know, it’s never the obvious even though it usually is.

Coincidence is another name for a bad theory.

Stupid people can’t figure out anything at all.

Maybe the demoKKKrat marxist leadership at the city, state and national levels have issued their marching rioting orders to their marxist rabble and minions. Maybe?

Everyone knows it's hot weather.

Hot weather doesn't seem to cause violence in white communities so hot weather is racially biased.

Or maybe hot weather is a discredited social construct we need to abolish.

The seeds of no future because of broken political promises, selling out our middle class and dogmatic belief in the democratic party.

This is really surprising. With the pullback of the police and their oppression, I had been expecting that our inner cities would explode with new Ivy League degrees, patent filings and new foundations to promote the arts.
