The riots of 2020 are the battlefront of a movement hatched from an alternative history built upon an abstruse foundation of systemic racism and white privilege. In early summer, they created an apocalyptic spectacle of 23 American cities in flames, burned-out cars, shattered storefronts, unchecked looting, and occupied neighborhoods. Then events then took a curious turn.
According to the Bridging the Divide Initiative, a Princeton think tank that conducts U.S. protest modeling with a wink and nod to the left, there was a free fall in the number of BLM-associated demonstrations and uprisings from a late-May peak to an October low. Who or what was responsible for this plunge?
In a recent televised and racially-divisive speech, First Lady emerita Michelle Obama echoed the familiar line that 93 percent of BLM demonstrations were peaceful. That’s true. Almost eight thousand demonstrations nationwide between late May and early October have supported the BLM meme. According to the Armed Conflict Location and Data Event Project (ACLED), a minority were major city demonstrations that culminated in street brawls. By contrast, the overwhelming majority were hometown gatherings and parades down main streets by teenage bubblegummers yelling buzzwords and waving homemade placards alongside their empathetic soccer moms.
The former first lady artfully omitted that the remaining 7 percent represented almost 600 violent BLM protests between late May and mid-September. The better part of those were inner-city, post-George Floyd donnybrooks bunched together from late May to mid-June. Antifa infested these demonstrations, their familiar black bloc regalia a telltale sign to police that a particular march would devolve into nighttime street brawling.

Simple....
For whatever reason, Soros stopped offering money for it.
Soooooo many (as comedian George Wallace often says) “need their a**es kicked”.
Of course everyone knows the Dems control this stuff, and when their media allies pointed out it’s not helping the Dems in the polls, the violence decreased, and the coverage went away.
They are resting up and re arming for election night.
The riots didn’t start with one thing and they don’t end with one thing.
Part of the answer to this question is Trump. Ok, maybe it is the only answer.
Probably Election Day Eve and early morning. Have to suppress the in-person vote.
Been raining in Washington state and Oregon...antifa punks are scared of a little water...also, stuff don’t burn in the rain.
“the Wisconsin plot to kidnap the governor”
An upside W is an M; Like in Michigan.
The article fails to mention the #1 reason: George Soros, through his fellow Communist radical cutouts, told the AntifaBLM thugs to throttle back, because it was hurting their chances to install their own sock puppet in the White House, Joementia.
93 percent of the time Ted Bundy was peaceful. Jeffrey Dohamer was also mostly peaceful. But, both were bad people despite being mostly peaceful.
Ok, now I read the article.
As history as shown us, they don’t go away, they morph. We must continue to be vigilant.
ABCNNBCBS has stopped covering them. They go on, but if they don’t get any airtime, it’s as if they never happened.................
Like everything else the Democrats do it is all based on polling. And they were getting their heads handed to them on this.
The riots were boosting Trump in the polls.
No....a stand down order was given. The riots were hurting the dims.
They found out riots were hurting D’s at the polls so they stopped them.
What happened to the riots? Well, a good guy did get shot to death in the streets at a ‘mostly peaceful protest’ just the other day...
They were given the order to “stand down”. It’s that simple.
yeah.. i can see that too
