Chaos has continued to unfold in cities across America where over 50 Secret Service agents were injured in clashes with protesters in Washington DC, cops charged into demonstrators in New York City, and lootings and store raids continued to unfold in California, Philadelphia and Boston. Tens of thousands of people gathered as the National Guard was deployed to over half the states in the country on Sunday for protests that have seen 4,100 people get arrested this weekend alone. But even the threat of heavy officer presence didn’t deter protesters in Philadelphia from hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, crowds to raid stores including Coach and Chanel in New York and San Francisco, and fires being ignited mere feet from the White House. Late Sunday in Washington D.C. a fire was set ablaze in the historic St. John's Episcopal Church and Lafayette Park in front of the White House.

Every image of a rioter or some apologist tweet from a Leftist is another vote for Trump.

[Morpheus2009]

Time to make rioters get really hurt. Enough is enough.

So much for staying home and not spreading the virus. Good thing it's after the big run of sick folks. Either it will flare up or it's gone.

Either way, Fauci wins since he's predicted both.

[jarwulf]

Even so I hope he’s planning on doing something directly to stop this very soon. The ANTIFA declaration is a good first step but otherwise just sitting around tweeting while this is going on is not good.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Need more rubber bullets. Live bullets kill, but rubber bullets can make your face ugly for a long time. Guess which ones these idiots worry about more.

[dp0622]

Whatever. Whatever that nonsense means. Meanwhile half the country is being burned down. But by all means let’s worry about our November election six months away. Between the virus nonsense and the riots what will we be voting for. What kind of country?

Molotov cocktails being thrown, everyone at risk even if they think they’re not, but yeah lets worry about a few extra votes in November

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I hope some of these idiots languish in the streets with severe Woo Woo. Enough is enough!

hmmm! but why Antifa and not Antifa?

1 Jun: NBC: Police describe anarchists’ extensive prep for violence, including ‘bicycle scouts’
Law enforcement has been focused in recent years on foreign-inspired terror in the U.S., not antifa and homegrown anarchists.
Tom Winter reported from New York and Andrew Blankstein reported from Los Angeles
On Sunday night, New York’s top terrorism cop, Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller, detailed his office’s analysis and investigation into why the New York City protests have become so violent and damaging at times.
“No. 1, before the protests began,” Miller said, “organizers of certain anarchist groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police.”
He added, “They prepared to commit property damage and directed people who were following them that this should be done selectively and only in wealthier areas or at high-end stores run by corporate entities.”

“And they developed a complex network of bicycle scouts to move ahead of demonstrators in different directions of where police were and where police were not for purposes of being able to direct groups from the larger group to places where they could commit acts of vandalism including the torching of police vehicles and Molotov cocktails where they thought officers would not be.”...

“We believe that a significant amount of people who came here from out of the area who have come here as well as the advance preparation, having advance scouts, the use of encrypted information, having resupply routes for things such as gasoline and accelerants as well as rocks and bottles, the raising of bail, the placing of medics,” Miller said. “Taken together, (this) is a strong indicator that they plan to act with disorder, property damage, violence, and violent encounters with police before the first demonstration and or before the first arrest.”...

This is not the first time that antifa or anarchist clashes with police have gotten attention...

A rioter in Louisville has been killed by the police. This will add fuel to the fire.

I don’t know if you’re joking or not but with the lightness that these riots are being taken on this board I’m astonished. Did we use rubber bullets when we were attacked in other wars? And this is a war. I need to stay off the board until this passes. I don’t want to get into trouble.

and there are too many ridiculous statements being made while people wage war against us

and maybe 1too many here live too far from The real world and they think the city is not the real world it’s a million miles away well I have news for you in most areas it’s a few miles away from a suburb.
talking tough is one thing but when thousands and thousands of people are descending on your property your gun isn’t going to hold them all off

50 of the men given the task of protecting our president have been injured. And stupid jokes are being made on this board

[deek69]

Couldn’t have said it any better. Let me add please pray for the brave men and women on the front line in this war.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I was thinking of the cops. If you, a civilian, wanted to ventilate them with a belt-fed machine gun, that would be fine with me.

[livius]

I wish Trump would at least come out and say something. I realize he’s not ignoring the situation and is working behind the scenes with the DOJ, but we need to hear from him. Not just tweets.

[virgil]

Sounds like a real terrorist organization to me. Where has the FBI been? Spending all their time chasing Trump?

[dennisw]

No way did 50 SS get injured. I think this number comes from various Federal police summoned to help out the Secret Service at/near the White House.

Even this 50 number is too high. I need more proof. BTW Washingtoon DC is positively crawling with various useless eater Federal Police agencies. 25-50 of them. At least they were useful here and yesterday and thanks!

[ronnie raygun]

More vindication for all of us and trump

[riri]

I read elsewhere it was actually 60 injured

Street level video stream of riots in DC last night:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=NlutS5xbqdw

Looting starts at about 1:39:00 mark

[dennisw]

Part of this widespread rioting is an irrational exuberance against being cooped up for months and NANNY state SCOLDS telling these young people to mask up and no parties.

A spring exuberance and rebellion against our national disease authorities. Antifa and the black rioters-looters are serving useful purposes. Jolting us out of our self-indulgent Cov19 settings. Summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the streets - Kicking Covid in it’s cooties and kicking autism spectrum Fauxi the broken record. Get lost Rain Man!
