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.

It’s ironic that the word democratic is the last thing the Democrats want. They want top down rule, they want radical changes that go against the good of the people, they want to take out Trump who was elected and put there by the people. There is nothing democratic about the democrats. They are pro authoritarian rule.
It’s an upside down world. Things are the oppose of what they seem in many cases. In many cases this is projection. In many cases it is plainly stunning to see. For example, Antifa, like Hitler’s Brown Shirts, is not anti fascist but pro fascist. Words are spun 360 degrees to take on the opposite meaning, as in the novel 1984. The group BLM don’t act as if BLM in Chicago or other Democrat run cities. The media lies outright — narrative is what counts — and fiction is in vogue when even fact-checking groups ignore and spin the truth. It’s an upside down world.
It’s a statement of support for international criminal drug dealers... (’the mob rule movement’ is supported by people of drug cartels...)
We have systems for change.
If leftists groups want to abolish the police - put the issue on the ballot and let us vote on it. That's OUR way.
Their way is mob intimidation... looting and burning.
The rule of opposites:
“Peaceful” protests are full of looters hiding in the shadows.
“Justice” is Just Us as criminals are set free to prey on the public without consequence, be they coup plotters, robbers, or rapists.
“Institutional racism against blacks” is actually institutional racism against straight whites.
“Freedom of speech” is actually censorship.
In a typical mass media article you can find _dozens_ of these once you _get_ the magic trick.
4 more years needed to save us from SWAMP.
What, they couldnt walk over to the Soros-approved pallet of bricks and grab one? What a dummy.
Exactly! The examples write themselves.
The best federal response to this is to close the damaged federal buildings in DC and move the operations to states far outside of DC.
Trump was already moving some, and this justifies moving even more. Help the mayor turn DC into an economic wasteland. How does she even work for a city named after a slave owner?
Wow! If they are that determined, they should consider getting a job.
I’m sorry, that’s not allowed to be true.
“..did not show much if any of it. ”
Many, many of the videos posted on Twitter by appalled witnesses to the carnage were BLOCKED by Twitter. A grey screen appeared, saying, “That video is unavailable.”
Over & over this happened.
Similar to calling cops 5-O.
Awesome. Without Farragut, MLK would still be a slave.
