A Democratic congressional candidate downplayed looting and arson during a digital campaign event on Tuesday.
Responding to a questioner who said she was concerned about the left-wing push to abolish the police, Democratic Texas candidate Kim Olson argued that police departments are overfunded, before pivoting to downplaying looting and arson. Calls for abolishing or defunding the police have come in the wake of protests over George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes, video showed.
Olson took issue with what she said were snipers on city buildings during a protest in Dallas, which in 2016 was the site of a mass shooting targeting police officers during a protest.
“What the hell you got snipers on the roof for in a peaceful march? Even if people loot, so what?” Olson said in a video that was first reported by The Washington Examiner. “Burn it to the ground, you know, if that’s what it’s going to take to fix our nation. I know people don’t want me to say that, but I’m just saying.”

I hope some street thug takes all of this person’s belongings. It’s rightfully his!
Is that her attitude regarding my right to protect my home and family?
If it is ok to burn cities down then it is ok to run politicians out of town tared and feathered on a rail, Olson
Refreshing candor. This is the sentiment expressed by Robespierre, and one that has animated all leftist revolutionaries since.
What the hell is happening to Texas. I just moved out of Houston 9 months ago to Pearland and there is even virtue signaling here. Every major metro area in Texas seems to be gone moonbat. Any sane areas in the energy industry? Move to Midland?
Those caught in the act of deliberate theft, assault, and destruction of other peoples’ livelihoods should be shot dead on sight. That’s why we need snipers in the police force.
The leftist meme that theft and violent crime is ok when done for the “correct” reasons boils down to the communist revolutionary principle “the ends justifies the means”. Scum like this woman assume the felons’ intentions are political. Violence for political ends = terrorism.
Headline should be: “Democrat Congressional Candidate Openly Advocates Terrorism”.
Californication.
Did you not get the memo? “white silence=violence”
Conroe isn’t bad, yet.
Lots of New York and Illinois plates down here though.
start with all their stuff and their house
then see if they still stick with ‘burn itmto the ground’
I doubt that *they* remember that Robespierre was executed by his own movement...
The rats have their eye on this seat, it was carried by Beta O’Cuck over Cruz and the now retiring incumbent nearly lost it. There were more rat primary votes cast this year but of course the rats did have a then competitive Presidential primary on the ballot and we did not.
I really hope they nominate this bitch.
Gee, he sure seemed to change his tune when they got close to his ‘hood.
It’s the shooting, burning and looting that our side will do if pushed far enough that she won’t like.
That’s what no to like.
