The Rayshard Brooks Memorial Bonfire:
An Atlanta Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks, 27, was fatally shot by police Friday night was set on fire. The restaurant caught fire Saturday after protesters broke windows at the restaurant and threw fireworks inside.Cortez Stafford, a spokesman for Atlanta fire, said the blaze grew because it wasn’t safe to get to the area near the restaurant when the fire began. He estimated there were 1,000 protesters near the Wendy’s. . . .
In addition to the Wendy’s fire, protesters walked on to the highway [Interstate 75/85, known locally as the Downtown Connector] earlier in the evening, stopping traffic. Troopers warned them that they were violating the law. The demonstrators locked arms.“You have three minutes to disperse,” a trooper said. Organizers encouraged people to leave, but not many did. Some demonstrators were arrested on the interstate before one lane on the highway reopened shortly after 10 p.m.Protesters continued on to the Atlanta Police Department’s Zone 3 precinct on Cherokee Avenue where they chanted.
“Cherokee Avenue”? Isn’t that cultural appropriation? Has Elizabeth Warren denounced this yet? But never mind that now . . .
When I wrote about the death of Rayshard Brooks yesterday, I was angry that this had happened in my hometown. Why was it, I asked, that the Atlanta Police Department could not have at least one black officer on the scene of this arrest in an overwhelmingly black neighborhood? And by “overwhelmingly black,” I mean like Mogadishu, it’s so black. You can ask anybody from the Atlanta area about that neighborhood. As I said, I don’t believe in hiring quotas, but it seems like to me that Atlanta, a city with a 51% black population, should have enough black officers on patrol ...

DEMOCRATS ARE ARSONISTS!!! ARSONISTS!!! ARSON!!! THAT IS A FELONY, PEOPLE!
Lesson: Avoid investing in businesses that chose to locate in loser liberal cities. You are throwing your money into the street.
Why indeed did they burn down the Wendy’s?
Didn’t they hear that Wendy’s had donated a half $1 million to the BLM cause?
If Wendy’s were smart they would put a stop payment on that check to cover the cost of their loss. But instead they will probably suffer that loss and give another half $1 million to the looters and rioters.
Why did these ferals burn down the Wendys? Do they despise the people who work(ed) there? These criminals should be arrested and thrown in prison...and have to pay those injured by their lawless behavior .
Toilet. Into the toilet....
Soon, there will be riots if a black person shoots first at police and gets killed.
“Why did these ferals burn down the Wendys? Do they despise the people who work(ed) there?”
Yes, they do. Calling the police can get you killed or burned out now.
If you ever need an example of why we need the electoral college, look at the protests/riots in major cities, all under Democratic control, and imagine these people electing a president. Give control to major city dissidents and I’d bet the United States would set a new record for destruction of a civilization.
I know times have changed, but I can’t understand authorities standing down and allowing the destruction of properties and livelihoods during the commission of criminal acts. Why is it honest people no longer have rights? I can see no benefit in allowing unchecked temper tantrums and setting a precedent for dealing with future riots.
FBLM
At this point, I’d agree.
If you wish to make money these days - stay away from liberal/ghetto areas and invest in conservative areas where property and individual rights are respected.
Bankrupt the libs!
Is the bacon OK?
Because that’s what dems
do.
Bankrupt maybe, but as long as the Feds send them money they’ll survive.
Evidently that Wendy’s was a black owNed business..
That happened in this case. If you listen to the full body cam video it’s quite clear that Brooks discharged the taser before the cop shot him.
The cops were nothing but straight up and polite with Brooks and, frankly, Brooks was fine with them right up until the handcuffs came out and then, without a word, he flipped out and started fighting.
It doesn’t matter that it’s Wendy’s on fire. The left just needs to “cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war” in order to tilt the tables toward lefties in 2020 elections; they are saying THIS will continue until we elect someone of whom they approve.
DemocRATs are also RAY CISTS and BABY KILLERS!!
No they don’t. Not directly. I get the point that you’re making though.
