George Floyd riots rewritten as "2020 fires"
Hot Air ^ | 4/7/23 | David Strom

Remember the George Floyd riots of 2020?

I do. Vast swathes of my city were burned down including a police precinct–a first. The City of Minneapolis actually evacuated and abandoned a police precinct and let rioters burn it down.

It was pretty traumatic for the city. It took days to get the city back under control. The National Guard had to be called out, and even then it took days to retake the city. I lent my neighbor a gun. As a Black man, he was surprised I would and very grateful. We were in it together, protecting each other against a mob. He bought a gun soon after. First time ever for him.

Well my local NBC station has figured out how to describe the destruction during those times. And it isn’t riot.

In fact, nobody did anything at all. What happened was an event that had nothing to do with human agency: it was “the fires.” They just sort of happened.

How can Kyle Rittenhouse be racist if he was just fighting fires?

No, I don't remember them.

Wait a minute, are you talking about the nationwide violent Black Lives Matter wild riots that continuously terrorized the entire country throughout the 2020 Election Year? You know, the nationwide violent Black Lives Matter wild riots that were highly coordinated and organized by the Democrat Party Cabal, so much so that the Democrat VP candidate Kamala Harris actually went on the Colbert late-night talk show and very sternly and publicly informed Stephen Colbert on-air that the violent Black Lives Matter rioters are "not gonna stop, they're not gonna stop! ... I'm telling you, they're not gonna stop! And everyone beware because they're not gonna stop, they're not gonna stop before Election Day in November! ... Everyone should take note of that ... They're not gonna let up and they should not!"

But how did Democrat VP candidate Kamala know, so far in advance, exactly what the violent Black Lives Matter wild rioters were going to do months later, right up until Election Day? Hmmm ... could it be because the nationwide violent Black Lives Matter wild riots were all highly planned and coordinated by the Democrat Party Cabal? (That's a rhetorical question whose obvious answer is "Duh.")
