This seems deliberately fueled to run past its course. And I think we know who to thank for that.
“If this keeps going for the next few nights I’m genuinely going to wonder how much longer this can last. Usually by now the rioting has burned itself out.”
Dunno. Occupy Wall St went on for 2 months and only stopped because it got so darned cold.
If they just hand over the cop to the animals — to do whatever — might that appease them? :-) Of course the same thing will happen once the guy is in prison in the prison yard — but that’s a long time away.
I wonder if it will last a week or as long as “occupy wall street” lasted. At some point, they stopped paying them and they went back home.
I have been watching at least 7 hours of news TV starting Sunday. I would say at least 95% of the protesters at legal hours are peaceful, and the DC police mostly restrained. It may have been smoke bombs before Trump’s walk, but the peaceful protesters were definitely running away from something. Apparently not DC police. Now there is a very large crowd in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the Mall. Below is what I posted elsewhere with links. My evaluations are influenced by the results I saw in person of the 1968 MLK riots and arson in DC.
“Regarding trouble makers—BLM/Antifa/”GimmeStuff/KKK, here is how it looked in DC over time. Trumps inaugural, I saw some window breaking/other vandalism, my guess Antifa types. This past Sunday night, intermittent window breaking, mostly minor arson before 11pm curfew, some Antifa/BLM/independent trouble makers. After 11pm mostly vandals and thieves(GimmeStuffs). Reportedly 88 arrested mostly for robbery and vandalism. Monday after the curfew, action moved from around 16th and H and I up to 14th and S and Swann, NW. Many refused to leave for curfew and accepted arrest for violating curfew, something like 300 people mostly non-violent, non-criminal.
I wonder how many had planned to do that before the President’s actions that evening at 7pm. About 30 minutes before 7pm, please fired on peaceful protestors with tear gas and smoke bombs, driving them away from the area. Then President Trump (who apparently had ordered this action), walked from the White House to the church whose office had been burned the night before. He stood on the church property and made his speech with Bible in hand. Later, that evening the Episcopal Bishop of DC denounced his behavior, causing her seminarians who were among the peaceful demonstrators to be gassed so he could stand on her churche’s grounds, without notice or permission to make his political statement. Later when the 11pm news shows had ended, the people around 15th and Swann were being gassed, and a neighbor allowed around 60 to seek shelter and spend the night in his home until the 6am lifting of the curfew. Now showing much larger group of demonstrators who marched from H St. to U St. and back. A friend tells me there is a demonstration planned for the Mall on Wednesday. I suspect these crowds are growing because of the Trump intervention.

Almost all articles posted were linking the gassing of peaceful protesters and Trump’s display on Church property without permission. Just now was informed church people were on the grounds serving water and other help and were driven away by the police actions and chemicals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oRQF68psdY This is a video that actually shows and broadcasts Trump in front of the church. To the left you can see where someone ran down stairs to throw something burning inside a church office. It was put out without spreading, but the rest of the church is also now boarded up. There are many comments below the video, all I saw were negative. The following video was Biden speaking. Equal time doctrine? Time will tell if this hurts or helps Trump’s election results.” I think today’s demos are larger in DC as a result.
Well, since Soros isn't likely to run out of money to pay them, we are going to have to place them in involuntary quarantine for 14 days....either that or start filling detention camps, the kind Joe Arpio had.
Soros, but I have this feeling, that maybe China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, to name a few, may be involved too. If indeed they are, I wonder what Trump will do?
