If I or anyone else decided one day to take a sledge hammer go down to my local store and start smashing his windows and store front I would be arrested and charged why are we not doing this to these Cretans? At the least destroying private property is a crime and should be punished, period!

An excellent point. As long as you are part of a left-wing mob, rioting in a left-wing city, the rule of law seems to be suspended. Oh, they might arrest a few of the rioters, but usually the charges are dropped after the public's attention has shifted.
But let you or I start breaking windows, the arrest would be immediate, and the charges would NOT be dropped.
The concept of "equal protection under the law" is inapplicable in liberal cities.
One more example: Public nudity is illegal in Seattle, but is tolerated at various left-wing parades and festivals. But if I walked down the street nude, I would be arrested. (Not that I WANT to walk down the street nude.)

They are protect by someone in a high political position. They are exempt from having to obey the law[s]. If you want see the police go into action, give one of the anarchists, a dirty look, you don’t have to touch or threaten them, only look hard at them. Do that to them when the police are around them [and they are always where the anarchists are to protect them] and see how quick your butt is in jail.

I guess that’s an option in places where they will actually arrest them.

Break a window at a “Church of Scientology” and see what happens.

Prosecute the rioters or they will win. Police and local governments must enforce lawful/proper laws.
Rioters are just like Islam, with face masks and fire setting and destroying things. Fortunately, they haven’t starting using IEDs, yet. But, they Islamic comrades will be helping do that soon, I suspect.

RICO. You have to charge them with felonies to get them to roll over on their organizers. Then follow the money trail upward.

You are so right. Guess what? Well, either Trump and Co do something about it, or you and I will.
Because we aren’t left with any other choice, the end game is here and I’m ready to roll.

IT is called Anarcho-Tyranny.
The law is only enforced against the law-abiding.

Didn’t mayor of Bezerkley order the cops not to arrest the rioters?

Prosecute the Rioters If the Beserkley po-lice decided not to intervene in the riot, then store owners should've started shooting the arsonists and rioters. That's a quick way to get the police involved and to make the rioters head in another direction.

If they don’t start arresting them, then people will take matters into their own hands and shots will be fired. I guarantee that.

Agree on all points.
For starters...those arrested for rioting/violent protest should be mandated to remain in county jail pending trial.
Rioters should face FELONY charges...so it leaves a mark they won't soon forget.
Sentences should include community service, significant fines paid to those who incurred loss, plus incarceration.
As it stands now...rioting is essentially a "party" with likeminded leftwingers.
Contemporary youth are being conditioned that one can do *anything* as long as they explain it was a protest. This coddling must halt.

Give it time. Pappy Sessions is close to confirmation. After that, the right heads are gonna roll...just as God designed it:
“For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval. For he is Gods servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is Gods servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer. “—Romans 13
Obviously God sometimes upends nations and this falls apart, but nonetheless He wants this as the norm in the present age. Sessions strikes me as a man He can use for this purpose.

a great many of the rioters appear to be paid for by Soroz.
cut off the $$$$ and a LOT of the rioting, disruption, and intimidation of innocent American citizens... will stop
