On the night of Sunday, May 31st, I read about the burning of the church near the White House, and, as a VA headquarters employee[i], I received a work email stating that our two HQ buildings next to that church -- the main building and the overflow building -- had been vandalized. On Friday, June 5th, I came back to DC to see for myself what had happened to the VA and surrounding areas.
Keep in mind, the VA -- for all of its problems, centered around its enormous size and perennial inability to clean out its own rot -- is essentially the largest social services and welfare organization in the free world. Thats not a bad thing. About half of its headquarters staff are African American. The VA does not oppress anyone, and is no ones enemy. With the exception of some new executives and their special assistants, it is the same as Obamas VA. Anyone assaulting VA buildings -- even if its just a feral 18 year-old with nothing better to do during a national lockdown -- is a moron.
The Washington Post mentioned the damage to the VA and nearby city blocks but did not show much if any of it. Presumably, the Post did not want to give its readers the wrong idea about the nearly all-white, mostly quite privileged peaceful protestors in Lafayette Square park, who in some organized fashion tried to storm the White House for several nights in a row and then, failing at that, turned their frustrated aggression in the opposite, northward, direction, where stands the VA among other structures. Its not as if the Post, wholly owned by some West Coast web commerce guy, has a duty to its own city -- Resistance is a higher calling.

What is the “12” that these people all seem to want to have sex with?
F*** 12. Is urban slang for F*** the police narcotics unit
but Michael Williams from VOA/CBS told taxpayer-funded ABC Australia the DC Mayor was “skilful” in how she handled the “protests”, and President Trump was wrong to suggest she was “incompetent”:
at 2m51s: ABC: “Black Lives Matter” on the road to the White House. is the message getting to Trump? WILLIAMS: he’s attacking skilful DC Mayor, calling her incompetent, etc.
at 5m41s: ABC: is the country reaching a turning point? WILLIAMS: we have elections, changes won’t take place with the same people in office; there have to be changes in leadership.

I don’t understand how 12 relates to narcs ... or am I just out in an isolated patch of the country after 20 years. BTW, great tagline.
I think originally 12 generally referred to the police and derived from the old tv show Adam-12. It has since morphed into a more specific definition of police narcotics units or Drug Enforcement Agency agents.

Code for police anti-drug units.
The MMob of rioters and even the protesters did not have a DC permit
All of their protests were against the unenforced law
bkmk
Savages.

Not much of a code anymore.
I woke up this morning with a really crazy idea as to what is really behind the looting and the riots.
We know there are rich and powerful people behind them, funding them, supporting them, egging them on...but what is the real agenda of these elites?
One of the challenges they face is that every major American city is on the verge of bankruptcy due to unionized cops, firemen, teachers, other workers and their huge underfunded pensions.
How can you break these unions and disavow the pensions without declaring bankruptcy (which hurts your friends that own the municipal bonds).
You employ the rule of opposites. You pretend you are doing the exact opposite of what you are actually doing.
Declare the public employees racist.
Have the cities break up the racist unions and reneg on the racist pensions.
The unions will be so busy kneeling, they wont realize they were snookered until it was too late.
Just a thought for the day....
Have the cities break up the racist unions and reneg on the racist pensions.
Contract law will beat wokeness in Court.

I forgot to mention the crazy leftist judges.
You heard it here first!
The VA building is a fortress and was never in danger.
Looting that occurred last weekend was on private businesses (mainly liquor stores and pharmacies) not government buildings and not around the White House.
Looting and property destruction have pretty much ended the past week, now that there is an almost permanent presence of protesters on the street, troublemakers can’t work undetected.
