He’s up against democrat mayors and governors who are allowing this destruction in their cities. He’s signed an executive order to protect federal monuments, so we’ll see. Other than having them arrested I don’t know what else he can do.
It is hard for me to accept the Federal Government is incapable of dealing with insurrection in the Republic. For that is surely what is going on and it is organized by someone or groups.
I am not trying to be critical of the President but I know for a fact there are a great many of us who support him scratching our heads as to how this is happening with impunity.
Yuuuup. My hometown of Louisville KY is one of those cities. Got a Dem state gov and a Dem city mayor, both are massive idiots. We've had protests for weeks in Louisville, things got ugly that first weekend with a lot of destruction/looting, but ever since it's just been a lot of marching in the streets and/or car caravans roaming around the city late into the night honking horns, screaming, and shooting off fireworks. The protesters have been occupying a square not far from my husband's work for the last week or so.
Now LMPD plan barricades, increased presence downtown amid reports of counter-protests this weekend - WDRB.com Should also note our idiot Mayor had a curfew that lasted a whole weekend, National Guard brought in, but protesters still marched down streets late into the night, screaming and shooting off fireworks. Curfew went away after an incident in west Louisville (stories vary, some say cops/NG shot first, cops/NG say restaurant patrons shot first) either way a much loved black businessman was caught in crossfire and killed. Between that and the Breonna Taylor case (just google search her, that case has gone worldwide) things are stupid tense here.
