Even worse, the MSM keeps reporting it's everyone's fault BUT the rioters. How can our leaders win the culture war when they can't even decide if our side is in the right? Shoot, they haven't even figured out there IS a war, yet.
You know, all sorts of people have trouble finding jobs and earning a living, but most of them don't riot. Ultimately, the poor people who are playing by the rules seem to bear the biggest burden. It's the poor who can least afford to have their shops, homes, or cars burnt by the thugs, yet the government seems unable to differentiate between people who are throwing Molotov cocktails and those who are innocent victims. What good is government if it can't protect the innocent and punish the guilty?
First it has to pass the world standard
He wants to give the U.N. "riot inspectors" more time to do their jobs. And maybe implement a "Food for Riots" program.
Well, at least they don't in this country. But when a socialist government indoctrinates people to believe that their welfare is the responsibility of the government and "society", they tend to look outward rather than inward when things go badly.
Then, he will write a letter telling them just how angry he is.
