It's odd there weren't reports of riots, looting, and violence Saturday night

It's almost as if someone issued a stand-down order to agitators and provocateurs.

even the Project Veritas video might have made a difference. one of the Molotov lawyers being bailed by an Obama connection, and then both being taken back in, that was a little close to OFA home!

every little bit of exposure helps.

“Had 2 calls from the Democrat pollsters in the past 2 days.”

Did they ID themselves as pollster for the Dems or was it just something about their questions that tipped you off that they were Dems?

Well, if they planned when to start it, they planned when to pause it or end it.

The old excuse that the right is too busy working to protest has been exposed as BS by the virus.

The right BSes itself. Isn't that wonderful?

That particular outcome gave me my first laugh of the weekend. Both lawyers thought they were done with jail.
Not so fast! Lock ‘em up again!

I can tell you that here in the Twin Cities it has been very quiet since last weekend.

There are still ongoing street protests. They seem to start up in a certain area of the city each day. There’s nothing spontaneous about ‘em. People know where to go. But there’s been no vandalism or fighting with the police. What I am seeing at these protests are A LOT of white people, mostly millenials. They almost seem to ountnumber the blacks.

The citywide curfew in Minneapolis was cancelled as of Friday night. All buses and light rail are back on normal schedule.

There are some Minnesota bloggers I follow. These guys are pretty plugged in and have lots of sources. Last Saturday and Sunday, one of their sources at the airport noted what he called a number of Antifa-looking millennials boarding planes and heading back to Chicago.

It’s not even 11;30pm over here in Nancy Pelosi’s virtual backyard near San Francisco. We will see if there are any
‘Shenanigans’ in the dark of night.

The Washington Compost headline was “thousands protest” or something like that. Couldn’t even justify tens of thousands in the headline.

I listened to a couple of scanner feeds, and for the most part it sounded like a normal Saturday with only occasional protest related things.

I think you have nailed it.

The Dems and their lackeys decided the violence is giving President Trump the election (except for the voter fraud that they have planned).

And they are right.

Good point. Locally when I read comments on protests they get more and more “enough, we understood what you were saying a week ago. We agree what happened in MPLS was horrible and needs to be addressed. Now shut up and go home, you aren’t helping your cause blocking traffic for the 2nd time this week.”

Similar in my area of CT and Western MA Oh, look, you had your protest started at the local park and marched to the PD for the 2nd time this week, had a few leaders yell in a megaphone then wander off and the crowd disappears.

Also, as you said mostly white millenials.

Al Sharpton is planning a rally for August 28th. Don't want to tear up the city before he gets his rally in.

This is odd too but it might, partially, explain it.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 18h

Riot gear or military control is not necessary because ANTIFA & other Wacko groups of Anarchists aren’t present to cause trouble. Incredible people. Thank you Maine!

BLACK LIVES MATTER @lily_marston · 23h

Can’t help but notice a lack of riot gear or military control to ensure the protection and safety of this very large crowd. twitter.com/DanScavino/sta…

Exactly-—kickstarted by Mpls. it took no time at all to spread to a network of roughly a dozen and then nearly two dozen cities—within probably no more than 48 hours, it seemed.Now , it’s virtually switched off from the same switching stations/network that started it> NOW they are working on presenting a unified face of “peaceful protesters”, which technically it never had past the first day or two, and then only for hours at a time, and in isolated locations. NOW we’ll see somewhat genuine “peaceful protestors” , just waiting for another fabricated incidnt to “befall” them and begin a new round of mayhem, looting and violence. This may come so suddenly and reach a new crescendo of violence so quickly that they will finally achieve their hotly desired goal of forcing Trump’s hand and bringing in large numbers of peacekeepers. HEY! I got an idea-—UN peacekeepers! that’ll work!!

What is OFA?

I googled it. It's either:
1.Organizing for Action (OFA) - a nonprofit 501(c)4 organization and community organizing project that advocates for the agenda of former U.S. President Barack.
or
2. Orthopedic Foundation for Animals
