My son and I watched all of this unfold last night. It was surreal.

The female, openly gay Mayor of Madistan made a very brief statement, then turned it over to every black person on her staff, so we had to listen to much ‘Speechifying’ about ‘Whitey’s Fault!’

99% of the kids protesting - where WHITE - so they got it right for once, LOL!

No comments from our dope of a Governor, Tony ‘One and Done’ Evers. *Rolleyes*

People in Madison with some miles under their belts have seen this before, particularly in the 1960s. Anything happening in Milwaukee?

I hope Comrade Evers is caught in it. Serve the little idiot right.

I don’t know anyone in my surrounds that identifies as WHITE. All my friends and colleagues come from 19th and 20th century immigrants. We joke about our Irish, German, And other European parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

We never grew up with ‘Whites Only’ signs in establishments - that’s ancient history.

The so called issues with ‘Whites’ are really masking behavioral cultural issues in others. I could go on but I’ll leave it at that.

Milwaukee had a bit of foolishness happen last night, but the police and National Guard were on it and kept it from going crazy.

The video shows a former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck. Floyd can be heard saying “I can’t breathe.”

Now we learn George Floyd was saying "I can't breathe." while standing up. The police could not find a pulse, early on, which is why they called for an ambulance.

The autopsy shows the police officer did not asphyxiate Floyd, or strangle him.

We have not received the toxicology report yet, but the intial 911 caller though Floyd was intoxicated in some way. The officers on the scene make several references to drugs.

Will a charge of negligence come of this? Maybe.

It even turns out Minneapolis P.D. has a policy on neck restraints. The officer can reasonably argue he was following that policy, for the most part.

So madison is darned white. But they have the very liberal government employees union. They fund and support Antifa. The town has few students in it now. Its government workers and college staff who are doing this. Its almost all white. I assume they will import some black people to show up in front of the cameras. This riot was simply caused because these rich white liberals felt left out.

Kristalnacht comes to State Street in Madison - and for what? This is the home-grown Sturmabteilungen, who style themselves to be “Antifa” (and what an absurdity THAT is!), the defenders of the “shadow government”.

They do not believe that the duly elected Team Trump is a legitimate administration, and they are trying to bait the country into a full confrontation. These people are not in the least concerned about any possible effects of the COVID-19 Wuhan virus, that was just an excuse to set up the tinderbox. The spark was struck with what appeared a cold-hearted murder of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis, and a righteous rage was tapped into, to loose this storm in every other blue enclave in the entire US. Only a very small part of the mob now running amok across the US actually had any concern about the life or times of George Floyd, the much greater part that is doing the arson and looting is there to foment change and if possible, make the entire country ungovernable.

This is a well-financed, highly mobile and dedicated flash mob intentionally turned upon those places where they are completely certain the local mayors and governors will surrender to their demands, and tell the police forces, sheriffs, and state militia to stand down.

The looters and arsonists bypassed destruction of Waffle House in Atlanta the other night. Apparently it was a decision by mob rule.

In case anyone was wondering, it seems that the story circulating among liberals is that the people committing these acts of violence and looting are all white-supremacist Trump supporters.

I really wish I was joking.

You missed a chance for a nice new big screen TV...leftist cities foster violent thugs and the thugs opportunistically destroy the cities...poetic.
