Daily Caller ^ | May 28, 2020 | William Davis

NBC is prohibiting reporters from using the word “riot” in its coverage of violent outbursts in Minnesota that have occurred in response to the killing of George Floyd.

“While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as ‘protests’–not riots,” NBC host Craig Melvin wrote on Twitter Thursday.

Calling it “riots” shows disorder and paints Demorat politicians in a bad light. They can’t do that now in an election year when they want bad touch Biden and their real Presidential Candidate to win, not to mention supermajorities in the House and Senate.

“”””I remember when Minnesota used to be, Minnesota..like it was depicted on Little House On The Prairie, what happened..they let all the Somali’s in”””””

Minnesota is separate from Minneapolistan. I’m just a few miles away but never go into the schiffhole unless very necessary.

You may use any of the following words in lieu of, ‘Riot’

turbulence
turmoil
uproar
anarchism
burst
commotion
confusion
distemper
flap
fray
free-for-all
fuss
hassle
misrule
mix-up
quarrel
racket
row
ruckus
ruction
rumble
rumpus
run-in
scene
shivaree
shower
snarl
stir
to-do
tumult
brannigan
mob violence
street fighting
wingding

OK, I am laughing WAY too hard at the Enemy Media calling these RIOTS a ‘Wingding’ or a ‘Shivaree’!

And what about my all-time favorite: ‘Kerfuffle’?

What I’ve seen, locals were protesting intelligently, then bussed people arrived and the rioting commenced. Antifa? Soros?

Was the whole thing a false red flag (predicated on Floyd “attempting to pass a forged $20???)?

It’s more like a campfire marshmallow roast sort of protest. Next will be reports of scary story telling around the burning places of business
