Democrat governors won't risk being blamed by the MSM for a "police riot" or a "blood bath." They prefer to let individual business owners suffer in isolation.
They know perfectly that votes from the property owners are far outnumbered by the votes of the looters and rioters.
What happened to Democrats like Mayor Daley who wasn’t afraid of cracking some hippy skulls?
“They prefer to let individual business owners suffer in isolation.”
They didn’t build those businesses, you know? May as well let them be destroyed.
That is the media theory. Nixon was burned before for sending in the Guard, so now he is hanging back.
I don't buy that. All of this was orchestrated, from the planned window smashing, then arson to the deliberate failure of Governor Nixon to help until 1:30 a.m. I sense that the whole thing was planned to cause a sensational event for national political purposes.
