Marchers protesting for racial justice confronted police and toppled newspaper boxes and set some of them on fire Saturday night in the Adams Morgan section of Northwest Washington, before converging near the White House and prompting a tense standoff with police.
The protesters, shouting familiar chants of “No Justice! No Peace!” asked diners to raise their fists in the air before police on bicycles arrived. The protesters shouted at the officers before toppling the boxes and lighting two of them on fire at about 9 p.m.
The group of about 175 people continued marching through northwest D.C., going into several neighborhoods, including the U Street area and Dupont Circle, chanting, toppling garbage cans, setting off small fireworks and setting additional small fires.
At 11:40 p.m., that group of protesters, along with other, smaller groups that had been marching through the city, converged on Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House.
There, dozens of police officers in riot gear cleared the plaza firing off flash-bangs and chemical spray. A chaotic scene unfolded as demonstrators fled. Scores regrouped at 16th and K streets, where they defiantly continued to set off fireworks and confront police. Police again used chemical spray to disperse the crowd.

Voting for Biden would be like putting the Portland mayor in the Whitehouse. Trump should say that at every rally here on out.
How many of these rioters have spent years playing video games in their spare time and in the last six months at home playing video games all day long? They act like they think that they are in a video game. I wonder if, after they do their so-called demonstrations for racial justice, they go home and spend the next few hours on the Internet looking for themselves on a YouTube video?
Bureau of Land Management Plaza?
A warm up for the Sept. 17 “Occupy the White House” riot.
on a brighter note, the white blm riot van from Portland was confiscated in DC tonite for, once again, putting itself between rioters and police. (they’re very slow learners) Unlike Portland, where they just got slashed tires, the vehicle was impounded and the drivers were arrested. Kenosha got three of their vehicles and DC got the fourth. Not a very profitable trip for them. Let’s watch and see who funds the replacements. In the meantime, Well done, Leos!

I’ll use one word to stop all this - snow
Police should be spraying this on the protesters

If they don’t have a permit, arrest them. Oh, right—Lori.
Very likely the turmoil will continue, if Team Trump cannot pull out an overwhelming majority, enough so to counter any vote fraud schemes that the hopelessly depraved Democrats may improvise. Even if Team Trump does succeed, the rear-guard snipping and marauders will continue, until they are captured and brought to justice.
Poor guys.
Just think of how unfortunate they are to be WHITE THUGS with restraining orders, criminal records with offenses such as sexual abuse of minors, domestic assault, and weapons charges trying to assault young Kyle Rittenhouse.
If they were BLACK THUGS with restraining orders, criminal records with offenses such as sexual abuse of minors, domestic assault, and weapons charges, they would be immortalized in the media, everyone would know their names, the dead ones would get multiple funerals with gold coffins, and the surviving one missing a piece of his arm would be in great demand for interviews.
Too bad for them. Nobody will know their names now.
But they and their families shouldn’t feel too bad, though. I they were black of any age and sex and killed by black thugs, the response would be much the same.
Perhaps the motto SHOULD be changed to SOME Black Lives Matter.
Thanks, TM!
The contrast between party conventions could not have been greater.
<><> Democrats painted a picture of a country you’d want to flee –
<><> Democrats want to impose a racist hellhole built on oppression,
<><> Democrats resurrect a frightening Adolf Hitler Jr. regime
<><> Democrats are just waiting for the chance to seize absolute power.
And in the bgrnd are sperminator Hunter and the rest of the money-hungry Biden clan,
all lined up to loot and pillage the govt till, and kick taxpayers into perpetual poverty.
========================================
And it's all done with (A) a toothy smile from the Who-Me-Worry? candidate,
(B) regular "sincere" reassurances from Nanzi and the Dem crowd.....
(C) plus the purity and dependability of "mail-in" voting.
I dunno. Their actions seem largely political so once the election dust settles I suspect they will too. Not that I have any problem with rounding them up or a Trump landslide.
Because you can’t get a point across without burning things...
Ah, they were small fires. So this would count as ‘mostly peaceful’.

Had to read hour post twice nit ti confuse gour hat tip to Derek Hunter with your denunciation of Hunter [Biden].
