You're right buckeye - that's the reason democrat mayors told police departments to stand down... intimidation works. Works because frightened people without the means to leave' will move toward the strongest thug... and that's the democrat machine.
Machievelli said citizens can love their leaders or fear them - and that 'fear' is easier. These riots, looting, burning, and bullying were a tactic. Like the old democrat KKK tactics... (democrats stay true to form)
At any point democrat mayors could have asked the police to put a stop to the lawlessness and rioting - and the Police would have done it. It's what they're trained to do.
Tucker knows the totalitarian heart and he's sounding the alarm.
I am afraid that the leftist protestors will show up at Tucker's front door again. This time full of Antifa and BLM with flammable liquids in bottles. All he has to do is ask for armed volunteers and they would all be put down blocks away.
