BLM rioters move into rich, liberal suburb as resident complains that they are supporters

Affluent liberals deceive themselves that they will get a "pass" from violent radical revolutionaries if they sympathize enough with their causes. The latest group to begin to learn the hard way lives in swing state Wisconsin.

The latest Black Lives Matter mostly peaceful™ protest is in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, an affluent (average household income above $100,000) Milwaukee suburb that gave Hillary Clinton 62% more votes than Donald Trump in 2016. The casus belli is explained by the New York Times:

The Milwaukee [County] district attorney said Wednesday that he would not prosecute a Wisconsin police officer who fatally shot an armed Black teenager in a mall parking lot in February, setting off renewed protests over the killing.

Joseph Mensah, a Black police officer in the Wauwatosa Police Department, shot the teenager, Alvin Cole, 17, on Feb. 2 after he refused to put down a firearm and ran away from the police following a confrontation at the Mayfair Mall, John Chisholm, the Milwaukee district attorney, said on Wednesday. He said officers reported that Mr. Cole had pointed the gun at them at one point, and that he had fired the gun while running away.

Rioters obviously believe that firing a gun at cops does not justify cops firing back, and in support of this proposition, they trashed store windows in Wauwatosa;

“Science is real” is the line that gets me (we have one if those across the street). If science is real, then how does one decide their gender? DNA sales male but I get to say, “I’m a female. Call me SHE”.

Frankly, this proves their hypocrisy...facts are subjective and only what fits into their narrative is “real”.

[FLT-bird]

Yep. Science is real? OK. Tell me about chromosomes.

[Tax-chick]

And embryology.

HaHaHa! This is what supporters of BLM get.

We should be thankful to everyone who puts up the BLM signs on their yard.

It is always helpful to know who you cannot trust when times get tough.

Knowledge is power.

Hahaha. LIB/leftist enablers get their “just” desserts. More popcorn!!!

DNA “says”..not sales. Sorry. Broke my own rule against posting before fully coffeed-up. ;)

Correct.

One neighbor who has that sign up (who has a really nice house) is a retired school administrator.

Someone told me her state retirement is in excess of a quarter million per year (I am guessing over $300K).

Now all you slobs and small business owners, get back to work.

#21 - nice!

I live in a neighborhood very much described in the article and like the one you live in; with signs here and there like the one you posted. Its so bad that if one puts a Trump sign in your yard, your house or cars will be vandalized.

Yup. One neighbor (retired cop) put a Trump/Pence bumper sticker on his Ford 250.

It got keyed on both sides of the entire truck when he went to Lowes.

“Love is love” makes me retch. It means, “Whatever you want to do to someone else to gratify your genital urge, we’ll call that ‘love’.”

Correct - it's a slogan written by demons.

Reparations is misspelled, but yes, I saved that off when I first saw it. The sign you posted annoys me as well with its smugness.

[SisterK]

100% agree with your post

[SkyPilot]

Correct. $100,000 per year isn't rich by any standard today. "Affluent"? I wouldn't say that either.

Interestingly though, it puts you at about the 85th percentile.

Lol - you're right. I never noticed the misspelling.

And yes, smug is the correct description.

Level of affluence at $100k is entirely dependent on locale.

Bay Area? DC? NYC?

You aren’t affluent.

Small city in flyover country? You’re pretty well off.

So much for love, eh?
