A news editor for a small, independent newspaper was in support of the protests-turned-riots, until they broke into the paper's office and she had to take cover from looters and vandals in the basement.
Leigh Tauss, an editor for the progressive news outlet Indy Week in North Carolina, was stunned to find that the protesters-turned-rioters did not look favorably upon her business when they swept the area.
She tweeted out on Saturday, saying "the crowd is extremely peaceful and groups and many are wearing masks and trying to keep distance."
The crowd is extremely peaceful and groups and many are wearing masks and trying to keep distance.
And then on Sunday morning, Tauss posted what had become of her office at the hands of the rioters, tweeting "Im devastated. We are a progressive newspaper. Last night I was inside when the first brick was thrown."
A similar scenario happened with ESPN sportswriter Chris Martin Palmer, who encouraged rioters to burn down a low-income housing area in Minneapolis. But when they showed up to his place, he did not hold back in referring to the rioters as "animals."
Tauss marked the escalations on Twitter.
Several business with windows smashed in Wilmington street. All the wreckage from last night was cleaned up this morning
For a mob of animals, everything looks like raw meat.
Some lessons have to be learned the hard way.
No. They have no common sense which is what is necessary to come to a logical conclusion. They can only act and react to “today”. Which is why they have knee-jerk reactions to everything.

Rush is where I got that saying from.
You never heard him say that before?
Lovely.
I bet she has a whole lot less to say about people sheltering in basements when no police are around to stop the ferals
“Then is it safe to assume that she believes that no one needs a gun and that everyone can merely call 911 and have their safety assured”
As long as only the police have guns, everything will be OK.
I learned I was a conservative at age 19 in 1969. I was in an Econ 101 class at IA State Univ. One day everyone in class was wearing a black arm band except me. They were showing support for Jane Fonda when she went to North Vietnam. The entire class spent the hour denigrating me but I didn’t cave. I laughed at them and told them they were traitors. Somehow I lived through it.
Good on ya!!
