Sacramento officials slam antifa for waging 'attacks across this country': 'Call it for what it is. It is not a protest' (another Biden rally)

Sacramento authorities laid blame on antifa for the violence seen during protests last week and vowed to arrest anyone who continues spreading the destruction.

“The Sacramento District Attorney’s Office was targeted last night by a domestic terrorist and anarchist organization - Sacramento Antifa. This attack was planned,” Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert wrote in a statement on Friday.

“These anarchists have waged attacks across this country, in major urban cities, including Portland, Seattle and Denver. Their tactics are rooted in organized violence and terror,” Schubert added.

Rioters vandalized the city on Thursday night in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin, with the district attorney’s office among the buildings that were vandalized. The night of protests first began with advocacy group JUICE taking to the streets, but soon turned violent when a second group of protesters dressed in riot gear appeared.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department issued harsh words for the rioters, saying antifa is to blame.

“Last night we saw another night where hundreds participated in, encouraged or celebrated mayhem in our city. Including breaking windows out of storefronts, and in government buildings, trying to set buildings on fire, extensive vandalism, and graffiti, often while yelling profane and racist rants,” Sheriff Scott Jones said Friday.

Two factoids to back up “With the most trees per square mile of any city in America.”

1) EVERY year one of the major issues is the plethora of leaves in storm drains. Before the winter storms one can witness large trucks vacuuming each storm drain to get rid of the zillions of leaves.

2) if one goes up to the top floor of a downtown Sacramento skyscraper, one cannot see many homes, they are covered and hidden by all the trees.

At its bedrock core, Sacramento is still a redneck cow town

That would be outer Sacramento. I lived a block from the capitol, and if there was a redneck or a cow to be seen I must have missed 'em. I did see plenty of homeless, grifters, and leftists. At least, back then, 2014, the cops enforced the no-sleeping in public rule, even to the point of removing anyone who's leaning over on a bench, although there was a permanent population of homeless along 12th street, especially in the underpass.

I understand that since the police have stopped enforcing vagrancy rules.

I enjoyed living there, but I don't miss it.

As for the trees, yep, heading towards midtown and along the river, lots of 'em. I can't see there being far more in Sac than in DC, though.

Those Sacramento folks are really fast on their feet.

You’ve got to be impressed with their ability to figure things out.

So, let me see if I understand this correctly. The LEO’s are only pissed because they were targeted by Antifa. But it’s OK if Antifa creates mayhem in their back yard as long as they are only targeting us “normal” folks and businesses.

OK, I got it!!!

He must be imagining this, since the AP (associated propaganda) asserted, Associated Press issues erroneous 'fact check' saying there is 'no evidence' of Antifa, BLM violence

Apparently antifa does not even exist, according to the AP: site:www.ap.org antifa - did not match any documents.

Sacramento used to be conservative and in fact most of northern CA apart from the coast still is.

Close, but it does have a party affiliation. The Communist DemonicRat party. The DemonicRats own this 100%.

BINGO!

Soon white liberal 'elites' will grow tired of black thugs and they'll drop BLM just like they dropped 'the homeless' years ago... like they dropped the 'milk carton' kids years before that... the white brats (antifa) of white 'elites' will go home to mommy and daddy in their elite mansions - get good paying jobs and the black community will carry the shame of burning cities for decades and when the rest of us look down on them for these riots, the white elites will NOT be there to help them.. they will have moved on to the next pity party group.
