This is an outstanding think piece.
Free Republic should have a like button.
He misses the question, “Where does this lead?”
One direction from history, the Brown Shirts clashed in the streets with other groups. Will other groups arise here? Probably not because other groups here would be half FBI infiltrators. Which sort of begs the question how does BLM get a pass on FBI infiltration? Just kidding, I am not stupid but it bears mentioning.
The real issue is not mentioned. 70% are outside agitators (at least). Paid political muscle. Who is behind it ain’t a mystery. Paying people to commit crime IS a crime. Failing to prosecute people who pay others to commit crime is a crime. Lorreta Lynch? You listening? To end this, violent riots by paid thugs organized by political agitators (community activists) the organizers and folks paying (Soros) need to be prosecuted and if folks like Lynch and Comey continue to turn a blind eye they can and should be prosecuted as well. 50 years ago the FBI knew how to do this. If the reason they have forgotten is coming from above there is a prosecutable chain of crime going right up to the White House.
This is just a couple directions things can go. I am sure there are others. To me these are just, on the one hand, let it escalate or on the other, end it.
