I think this is about more than just George Floyd.

I believe this is what happens when you oppress free people with the heavy hand of the police state with a complete lockdown for 60+ days. It just takes a spark.

Many came out to protest the abuse of government power in the form of the police officer killing George Floyd. That was the match that lit the protest. The rioters are opportunists trying to take advantage of the protester's grievances.

Just a thought.Not an endorsement of the rioters' actions. This is regarding how society will force freedom at some point.

It’s all about getting Trump.

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

Trump’s tweet does not address COVID at all.
This headline is very misleading.

[ClearCase_guy]

I guess I don’t see a virus connection.

I wouldn’t be shocked if George Soros is trying to fund urban riots and a race war to hurt President Trump’s re-election campaign.

Collusion didn’t work, Impeachment didn’t work. Virus didn’t work, Economic crisis didn’t work … we seem to have moved on to race war.

As much as I'd like to agree with that, the question arises: how do you explain previous riots?

The common denominator in all these riots is a predominant demonicRAT "representation" in the city and state in which the riot takes place.

[Political Junkie Too]

Are the rioters locals or Antifa-type "professional" rioters who came into Minneapolis to stoke the flames?

I heard on the Rebecca Mansour show on Sirius XM that the graffiti that the rioters are spraying are the same leftist anti-capitalist symbols that show up in other city riots.

I haven't checked into it myself, but is it possible that this riot is another outsider leftist attempt to swoop in and take advantage of unrest to spread chaos and destruction?

A bunch of people with some money and nothing but time on their hands. Idle hands, and all.

You’re talking apples & oranges here.

Your title creating skills are at -1. More like a comment.

[Quentin Quarantino]

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.

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.

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.

[Luke21]

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

[MayflowerMadam]

Neither. Trump 2020.
