Trump Condemns Local Democrats for Failing to Stop Looting in Philadelphia
Breitbart ^ | 10/28/2020 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/28/2020 2:31:01 PM PDT by BenghaziMemoriam

President Donald Trump on Wednesday condemned
local Democrat officials for failing to stop
rioting and looting in Philadelphia the previous
evening in reaction to a police shooting of a
black man.

“It’s a terrible thing. What I’m witnessing is
terrible and frankly, that the mayor or whoever
it is that’s allowing people to riot and loot
and not stop them is just a horrible thing,”
Trump said.

...

“We’re watching it very closely and we’re waiting
for a call. If they want help, we’re there; we’ll
be in there within one hour,” he said.

Trump said that local officials had to request
federal help for him to assist the city.

“You can’t let that happen. I went to school in
that city,” Trump said. “I love the city of
Philadelphia.”

The behavior of the Dems in Philadelphia should give Trump the state November 3rd.

2nd term of Trump, the gloves will come off.

Does that mean there will be blood? No...

The country needed to see the evil of liberals. It will manifest in our elections.

After that, the hammer will come down and rioting/looting in the country will end in minutes. The world will know.

It’s just reparations for people who don’t deserve a damn thing from anybody. People who constantly steal anything that’s not nailed down anyway, riot or not. That may sound quite bigoted but I’m sick of this and I’m calling a spade a spade. Realism is not racist.

If Democrats won’t stop them when they are a thousand in number, why would they stop them when they act alone?

If they do, that’s discrimination.

Good, glad he said this. Even the crazy guy’s family came out and appealed for them to stop rioting.

I don’t understand how any elected official can just stand there and let their city get taken over by thugs. I mean, one of your first sacred oaths is keeping the streets safe. These Mayor or city councils have got to be paid off by the ChiComs or one of Soros’ outfits.

The important thing is, whether you agree with the police or the protesters, all of this is happening in cities run by democrats. Why would anyone vote for more of this?

At last count, 11 looters were shot by other looters and at least one carjacking of a looter’s car full of loot. It’s easier that way - only half the heavy lifting and you get a free car too.

Most people don’t go on crime sprees as a form of protest. Just a few thousand bad apples who are egged on by their political leadership at least by their inaction and unwillingness to enforce the laws. For some reason I cannot comprehend, the political leaders in these places think it’s either legitimate form of protest, or politically expedient for them to sit on their hands.

I wouldn’t say there is no time ever that the people can’t rise up against their leaders but I will say that I’d expect those who do rise up know that the consequences can be deadly. That’s how serious it needs to be to matter to both sides. To allow this kind of rampant indiscriminate destruction is to condone anarchy, in which case there is no reason to have government at all.

...Because NO ONE will tell them that they can VOTE TO NOT HAVE THEIR S!IT BURNT DOWN AND TO NOT HAVE THEIR CHILDREN RANDOMLY MASSACRED! For having so many supposedly politically connected/tech savvy/people who want to win here...it’s downright PITIFUL that this point has not made its way into the narrative. Hell, I even tried to bribe a moderator with another FR contribution to ping the self-described “political operator/activist types” (is there a list?) to a post on the idea about a week ago. Doesn’t anybody here WANT TO WIN? Maybe someone on this thread knows the magic words.... Hope you all have a good evening, and may your chains weigh lightly upon you....
