Just from observing the local Richmond news the question I have is what night has there not been some protest. Seems to be something going on every night since this all started in the RVA.

Oh well now let’s just see the excuses made by the lame stream media for this “brutal” response to a “peaceful” demonstration.

The leftist media is executing an information warfare campaign against the people of the United States.

I recommend buying weapons and ammo.

It appears the Richmond PD got a chance to show what they think of the monument desecrators/occupiers. The bull dyke chief quit and no politically connected person has been appointed. The PD declared what appears to be an attempt to do a Chaz on Monument Ave an illegal assembly and moved in. Someone fired a paint ball gun at the PD striking an officer. That is all they needed and they moved with dispatch and rubber bullets and batons and ‘cleared the area’. We can only hope they make it clear that the rabble won't be allowed to resume their human starling act.

This will not stop until the leaders and people funding these riots are arrested, prosecuted and marched off to prison.

Why? It's not like anyone on the right will use it in an organized fashion.

...not sure about which “Richmond” you are referring
to...no bull dyke chief that anyone is aware of ...in Richmond, Virginia......
from today’s Richmond Times-Dispatch:

Interim Richmond Police Chief William “Jody” Blackwell stepped down Friday afternoon.

Hours later, at a news conference shortly before 9 p.m., Mayor Levar Stoney announced he had hand-picked a new police chief to take over the department under fire for its handling of Black Lives Matter protests that have gripped the city for the past four weeks.

Stoney said he had hired Gerald Smith, deputy police chief in Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, as the department’s new chief. Smith will be introduced at a news conference Saturday, Stoney said.

“He is a reform-minded change agent who I think is going to be able to bring the sort of re-imagining of policing and public safety that I think we need in the city of Richmond,” Stoney said hours after news of Blackwell’s resignation leaked.

The revelation left even members of the City Council questioning who was in charge of the department amid its most tumultuous period in decades. A spokesman for the Richmond Police Department said Friday that Blackwell was “no longer interim chief” in a statement.

Two hours later, Stoney said Blackwell would remain in command until Smith takes over July 1. He thanked Blackwell for his work, and said he would return to his previous role with the department.

Better be prepared to use it defensively, though.

Northam and Stoney are a disgrace.

My sister lives in Tacoma. She and her husband are thinking of buying handguns. Thinking of? Sheesh.

Richmond PD has been declaring unlawful assembly pretty much every night now.

IMO it’s way past time to adopt the “rioters will be shot” policy. Very few people will care about dead Marxists.

Why? As shown by this episode, the left and the Deep State will just systematically squash anyone they desire knowing very few will cause them trouble. And those few who do decide to fight back alone will be destroyed.

Tear gas should have been deployed the first night of rioting.

People should take some time to read Lee’s biography.
His record at West Point
His service in the Mexican American war
His character and experience which caused him to be offered the leadership of the Union and Confederate armies
The importance of states rights in 1860 thought
His instructions to his troops at Appomattox
His friendship with Grant
His service as President of Washington College
His efforts at reconciliation.
Then look in the mirror and see how you measure up!

Guerilla tactics work well. Don’t kid yourself.
