" More than 200 people on Monday night marched to the Pearl District condominium tower where Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler lives to demand his resignation,” reported the Oregonian in August. It was three months into protests over the death of George Floyd while being arrested by Minnesota police, and the national groundswell showed no sign of abating. “The demonstration quickly turned destructive as some in the crowd lit a fire in the street, then placed a picnic table from a nearby business on top of the fire to feed the blaze. People shattered windows and broke into a ground-floor dental office, taking items including a chair, also added to the fire, and office supplies. Shortly after 11 p.m., a bundle of newspapers was set ablaze and thrown into a ground-floor storefront in the residential building.” Wheeler then told his neighbors he would be moving out.
Crowds protested all night in front of Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto’s house earlier in August, a move Peduto said was “crossing the line.” Peduto, too, had been doing his best to encourage progressive activists he was on their side. CBS noted that he “can’t please anyone.” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan supported CHAZ, the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” where protesters set up barricades and declared themselves an independent country free of policing, but murders there built pressure to shut it down. Eventually, demonstrators marched to Durkan’s home, leading her to send an angry letter calling for an investigation, and possible expulsion, of the city council member who organized that event.
The list goes on.

The people of this nation are going to welcome the police state by the time these BLM/Antifa freaks are done. Which is the true goal of the evil b@sta@rds that control these rioting tools.
The best solution would be to just declare open season rioters, looters, Revolutionary communists et al.
As they tell/show us every day they are true enemies of America. Treat them as what they are.
“... open season rioters, looters, Revolutionary communists et al. …”
Our laws pretty much address crimes that these people are committing and have committed.
The problem is that none of the communities involved have the political will to APPLY the law and end what’s happening to them.
Right now, the criminals are well aware that they are existing and behaving in a vacuum... it’s THIER free throw and no one is stepping forward to challenge them, as they have a right to challenge them, IN THE LAW.
In the big scheme of things, there really aren’t that many rioters.
Some are paid to be there and others are criminals looking to mess with the police.
These riots are not part of a great socialist movement.
These riots are just criminals trying to keep from going to jail.
It’s the crooks against the law-abiding citizens.
There are nut job anarchists and socialists in this country, but they are few and they are run by the thieving Democrat politicians.
Why do you think the Left coast made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Purge:_Election_Year movie, and the channels keep playing it to spur on that population? These things don’t happen in a vacuum. The mob is just following the script.
Factor in the corrupt District Attorneys whose campaigns (and more?) are funded by George Soros, and you have a serious problem.
The Soros DAs refuse to bring charges against the most egregious offenders, often letting them go before the looters’ fires have even burnt out.
Something positive must be done.
Over 100 days in a row of “peaceful demonstrations that somehow were hijacked by outsiders who made it less than peaceful”. What’s not to like?/S
“Something positive must be done.”
Elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county for a start. That sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to take on mobs, gestapo cops and crooked politicians. That makes for a safe community for families.
