Some Highlights from the Riots [semi-satire]

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) issued a joint statement condemning President Trump's determination to restore law and order, saying "we all know that 'law and order' is a code phrase justifying oppression of African-Americans, and that, as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) has pointed out, 'rioting' is a pejorative term used to malign property redistribution when done by people of color. We call upon the President and law-enforcement officers to stand down and let the rough justice undertaken in the streets take its course and peter out. The President's insistence on imposing 'white justice' on non-white Americans is a manifestation of the worst of our country's systemic racism." Schumer and Pelosi's position, however, is contradicted by the latest Rasmussen poll showing black approval of Trump has soared to 40%.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) criticized "the unwelcoming presence of fencing around the White House," saying that "this is the people's house. They ought to have the right to enter it whenever they please." She went on to contrast "President Trump's fear with the gracious hospitality offered by President Andrew Jackson. When he was president anyone and everyone was invited to treat the place as their own."

Black Lives Matter and the American Civil Liberties Union have filed a suit against President Trump, alleging that BLM's First Amendment rights were violated when peaceful protesters were forced out of Lafayette Square. ACLU spokesman Bertram Petty characterized the offense "as the most egregious example yet of the sort of dictatorship that Trump is trying to impose on this country." However, under media questioning, Petty admitted "that some bricks and bottles may have been thrown at those guarding the White House" and said he was "not authorized to admit or deny that some BLM members on the scene may or may not have set fire to the St. John's church," but insisted that "nowhere in the First Amendment does it explicitly say such actions are prohibited."

Outside the Indian Embassy in Washington DC, Mahatma Gandhi's statue was desecrated by unruly elements of Black Lives Matter. Ironically, though Ghandi was a person-of-color, this most famous advocate and practitioner of non-violet protest, was derided by a BLM spokesman as "just some bald dude in a diaper."

Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey is preparing a request for a $55 million bailout of his city. Acknowledging that "mistakes may have been made that led to the unnecessary death of George Floyd and the swath of destruction that followed," but insisted that "now is not the time for recriminations. President Trump could have sent in troops to help limit the rioting that caused the damage, but he foolishly refused to ignore my objections. So now it is time for all Americans to pay their fair share of the cost to rebuild Minneapolis."

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is begging major retailers whose places of business were vandalized, looted, and burned to "not abandon the City just because some of our residents jumped the gun on the redistribution of wealth. Residents need the services you provide. Don't worry, we're going to get things under control so that all future expropriations are done in an organized and legal way."

George Soros explains why he is funding the riots. "People think that my Open Society Foundation shouldn't be helping oppressed people loot and burn," he said. "They think that an open society means life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is the white privilege way of thinking where people are required to earn their own happiness. These freedoms are of little value to poor minorities. In my view, an open society is one where all doors are open and people can come in and take whatever they need. When doors are locked, breaking them in or smashing windows to get inside are the only alternative. My role is to ensure that the oppressed have the transportation, tools, and other resources necessary to seize what they need from those who refuse to give it to them."

New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones asserted that "breaking into businesses and stealing merchandise is not violent. The act of looting is more a symbolic act of restitution from a society that oppresses black Americans than an actual theft of someone else's property. There are no innocent shopkeepers. Each is an agent of the exploitative capitalist system, even the ones who are minorities. They have betrayed their race and class by stepping out of the proletariat and into the bourgeoisie. For acting white they are justifiably dispossessed."

While elbow-to-elbow mobs of rioters looted and burned numerous businesses, New York City police took the time to arrest two black women—Bevelyn Beatty and Edmee Chavannes—who were peacefully counseling women outside a Manhattan Planned Parenthood abortion facility. Their offense was not meeting the City's social distancing guidelines. One of the arresting officers laconically observed "offing babies is legal. Not wearing a mask is illegal." His partner also acknowledged that "many of the rioters are also not wearing masks, but trying to bust any of them would be too risky. These two women were an easier collar."

Police arrived at a confrontation outside a liquor store and promptly cuffed and arrested the store's civilian defenders while the people who intended to rob the store were allowed to escape. LAPD Commanding Officer Andy Neiman explained that "officers don't know what's going on, and until they sort everything out, they don't know who they're dealing with. In this case, we chose to arrest the guys with guns rather than the guys with baseball bats." Monet, an African-American woman, one of the individuals guarding the store, recounted her experience, "I was handcuffed, thrown up against a wall with my husband and brother-in-law. The store owner and the news people were telling telling the police they were arresting the wrong people, but the cops wouldn't listen."

Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) urged citizens "not to believe what you think you are seeing on TV. It's not African-Americans who are looting our stores. It's white supremacists disguised to look black. Our City is not the only place where this is happening. Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety John Harrington has also blamed the riots in Minneapolis on white supremacists. And St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter says over 80% of arrested rioters were out-of-state white nationalists." However, jail records for the two cities contradict these assertions. The majority of rioters arrested were locals and none were white supremacists. Even the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center says there is no evidence white supremacists are participating in the rioting and looting.

Co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association Maura Healey described the arson taking place in cities across the country as "clearing a path to future growth opportunities. The razing phase for a revitalized America has been largely accomplished in so many places. Ground that was occupied by capitalist exploiters of the people has been cleared for us to build new socially-owned and communal facilities that will usher in the fundamental transformation our Party has been striving for since President Obama awakened us to this possibility."

The democrat controlled media dilberately miss portrayed Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black. He was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill .When actually he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured by not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control Check out

The results of politically induced miss reporting used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial. Led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
