Are the riots about Georgie Floyd or Covid overreach?

This is all scripted. Obama’s army stands ready day and night to seize every opportunity that comes along to stoke the fires of Hate and Rage.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Implied in context.

Really? Guess I just don't see it. Looks like a pretty straightforward message that the NG is here to stop the nonsense.

[ResponseAbility]

Your obtuseness is duly noted by myself and others. If it was just about the NG coming in, why mention the lockdowns?

My apologies, I was taking the OP’s first post as a continuation of PDT’s tweet.

If it wasn’t sparked by the death of GF, it would have been sparked by something else. There are a lot of sources for sparks and a lot of fuel to be thrown on the fire. Anarchists, fascists, and racists will use whatever is at hand to bring down a free society.

[Fiji Hill]

They’re about free stuff liberated from stores, just like all the other riots.

Reminds me of the riots inspired by the assault on Rodney King. A man videotaped looting a store justified what he was doing by saying to the reporter, "Rodney King."

Son/daughter, this is about dnc exploitation of the dumbed down black population because an election is being held in a few months. The motive is diabolical and completely undetected by the targeted race. The demon rat party will burn America down to get back into complete control. All these diversions are just more professional distraction from the Truth. Yes, locking people down in isolation for three months builds up steam, but these riots have little or nothing to do with George Floyd’s horrific, unjust death. They are about DNC herding their black voters and dead soul
white liberal fools.

George Floyd's death was the trigger, but the tensions over the Covid-19 lockdowns might also be factoring into it.

But even more, I place a lot of the responsibility on the rhetoric of the left, which for years has been telling black people that the country is irredeemably racist from top to bottom, that all whites are born racist and stay racist all their lives, that police nation-wide are waging a war on black people, and that the odds are so stacked against black people having a decent life that there is no cause for hope, only despair.

Those ideas are like a barrel full of gasoline, and the death of George Floyd is the lighted match thrown into it.

I don’t know if you recall this but there was a rumor before that no matter what the outcome of the trial there would be a riot. Celebrating or protesting, made no difference.

[Rurudyne]

Convenient “excuse”, “trigger” ... po-ta-to, po-tah-to

Are the riots about Georgie Floyd or Covid overreach?

Neither. It is about still trying to remove a lawfully elected and highly popular US President. Trump in 2020.

Dang you're late to the party PJ. I know I've seen Antifa on video as far back as Wednesday, so they've certainly been there from the start, pouring into town.

It’s all about getting Trump.

Yup! The left has activated their terrorist fringe for a summer of riots. They think it will make President Trump look bad but watch the moderates shift to the right.

[vg0va3]

That is why I put under General discussion. You missed the point. He was pointing out that riots not in George Floyds name.

[vg0va3]

The connection is that people are tired of being oppressed by these tyrants.

The protest is about abuse of power by government. George Floyd killing just was a uniting moment.

[vg0va3]

You think these people aren’t agitated by being locked down for 60+ days by the same police? That is you apple to apple comparison.

[vg0va3]

All match my title skills to your comprehension skills any day. It is listed under the general chat category. As in this is a discussion thread. Not a news post.

[Luke21]

Also about getting Biden’s “You ain’t black” remark out of the news.

[House Atreides]

“They’re about free stuff liberated from stores, just like all the other riots.“
******************************************************
That’s 95% of it with the remaining 5% Antifa types “organizing” and serving as spark plugs.

[MHGinTN]

The centralized drum beating loudly over the ‘crowd’ might have been evidence of organized rioting troops ... from Antifa/Soros funding transportation and paymastering.
