Riots and looting having a VERY bad collateral effect
Personal Experience | 6 August 2020 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 08/06/2020 8:02:38 PM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

An elderly gentleman called today to get an appointment to see a professional. Then, he called back and cancelled, saying they were afraid of going to downtown because of the violence. That is a huge factor that the media nor anyone else I know of is covering. Suddenly, all kinds of professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants, opthamologists, you name it) are losing a large number of appointments due to the FEAR the Democrats, media and their foot soldiers Burn Loot Murder bunch are bringing to the cities. This has to be STOPPED in its tracks.

Grandma with walker wants rioters to leave her neighborhood in peace. They cover her in paint and taunt her. About 30 ‘press’ surround her, and one female voice screams at her to put on her mask (that was covered in paint) as a POC rioter taunts and humiliates her.

Another Grandma with walker tries to extinguish the fire the rioters have set and is physically blocked:

meanwhile, the “Wall of Dads” preen on the street for the cameras, less than 100 feet away

The democrats are protected by their media. No one will call them out on this, only perhaps Ted Cruz. Are the rest of the republicans holding the democrats accountable? I hear nothing but crickets.

You are right, but don't forget that if any politician is speaking up, the mainstream media won't be reporting it.

Really? Who is going to arrest them ?
The cops don’t care & the politicians don’t care. Trump won’t use federal troops so who exactly from any law enforcement agency will arrest them?
I want them arrested too but if LEOs’s don’t care then we must defend ourselves.
LEOs only protect other LEOs & protected classes.

This is a deliberate attempt to cause a significant economic depression just for political gain


So is keeping the schools closed so the parents cannot go back to work

Just told my wife that yesterday! The teacher unions are trying to help the Democrats! This has all become blackmail. EITHER vote Trump out of office, or we ARE going to burn it all down. I've never seen or read of anything like this in our nation's history.

“The US is no longer a nation. It is a state.”

To continue the wordplay, we are called the United States of America. Our constitution gives the rules for how the states are united.

Second term is going to be three times as nutty and out of control as the first. "The resistance," inside and outside of government, will go into overdrive.

It's a good sign. The decent people are waking up. Usually, this sort of effect would work. I think because the down-side was less tangible, more muted, speculative.

Want the COVID shutdown to stop? Vote DEM. Because if Trump is elected, the COVID shutdown will intensify, more arrests, wackier regulations, etc. Prosecutors and judges will be taking revenge - we'll all be Michael Flynn.

Cities will not recover, period.

Between internet shopping, telecommuting, and high city taxes, businesses which leave the cities won’t have a reason to return.

At this point, the only way for cities to be attractive to the middle class, would be if they got rid of the toxic underclass entirely, and no Democrat politician will allow that .

That is certainly the message being sent, isn't it? The people pushing this on us are literally raving lunatics.

The only reason I know Ted Cruz spoke out about the democrats not condemning rioters, is that it was covered on CSPAN because Cruz was on Hannity. It is almost like the other senators are afraid they will be outed, or harangued at their homes, etc. Any way, they are cowering, or they don’t want to offend their senator friends.

Vote DJT in and then Act 10 the Teachers Unions...’

ACT 10 was Wisconsin’s former governor Walker’s teacher union busting bill. It worked, make it nationwide.

These cities, if they aren't already so, are becoming "urban reservations".

"Escape From New York" wasn't a prophetic film as much as a pragmatic option that instead of locking up criminals to remove them from society, remove society away from the criminals.
