‘President Trump was right when he placed blame Saturday for the riots tearing apart cities around the country on Antifa and other radical left-wing groups.’

yep; all those Antifa guys who were breaking store windows and carrying out TV’s and stereos have some pretty good makeup artists; I could’ve sworn they were actual blacks...

I wonder if it will ever occur to our elected leaders to rid the country of Antifa. Why are active terrorist organizations allowed to operate freely in this country? Americans are being arrested for working, but terrorists are protected bomb throwers.

I just wonder if this is the beginning of the General Insurrection that many of us have worried about. If you haven’t read it you should read “When the Almost Tree Blossoms” by David Aikman. It describes an America that has been torn apart by leftists who rise up against the government and march on Washington. The military could easily put it down but the president loses his nerve and gives up. I don’t believe that this president will lose his nerve and will do what it takes to maintain order.

We need a thorough investigation of Antifa. Who is funding it? Those people need to arrested and their assets need to be forfeited to pay the damages they caused.

Rioter’s lament: “It was Antifa — no, it was the cops — who made me burn that store down. They were so racist that I couldn’t help meself.”

Don’t really understand your point. When I look I see lots of young white kids and from the first I thought that they were Antifa who had “seeded” the crowd. Throw in BLM and you have the ingredients of a first class riots. When you have riots you have lootings.

It is surely Antifa and Black Lives Matters, with funding from leftist money bags (George Soros?).

Seems to me black lives matter was doing some pretty nasty damage before these other idiots showed up. Let’s not forget that.

What I find most disturbing is how easily a lot of blacks and libtard whites can be motivated to riot, supposedly due to the mistreatment or death of one of them. Without burdening themselves with facts, they act with a herd mentality, relying on some clever professional agitators to supply them with easily repeatable slogans. They then justify their destructive and larcenous actions as tangentially connected to the original perceived offense. Professional commie far left agitators know this very well and regularly exploit it to bring about anarchy and to tie up police resources.

I believe that a lot of the rioters are also personal failures who are attracted to the power and notoriety of the masses of people doing outrageous anti-societal acts. They seek to attach themselves to such power and thereby feel as though they are important, when in reality all they have are empty libtard platitudes to parrot.

Finally, it is interesting to see how the rioters "justify" to themselves stealing things which don't belong to them, using the situation to embolden themselves to acts they lack the courage to carry out alone. How is carrying off a large screen TV from a looted store going to bring back George Floyd? They are probably unaware that he once worked as a security guard.

The whole situation points out poignantly to the deviousness of the libtards in charge of public education, using their positions to fill the heads of our children with lies about how society works and to what one is entitled. To make time and space for this mentally castrating indoctrination, they neglect thorough groundings in language, math, science, and history, subjects necessary to master to make a well rounded citizen, and drop the standards set so that anyone fogging up a mirror "graduates". Graduating with a bunch of lies, fantasies, and libtard ideas hardly equips these "graduates" with the tools necessary to function well in a democratic society--like earning a good living and being able to intelligently discern issues--but DOES set them up to be ready followers of professional progressive agitators. So, too, does the neglect of moral education by parents contribute to this sacrifice of generations to the sirens of anarchy, eagerly fueled by the likes of enemy nations and the likes of Satan's agents such as Soros.

YEP! This was orchestrated all the way from beginning to end! If the Democrats COVID-19 policies did not get the business owners, these riots did. My heart goes out to these people.

I don't think he read the article. It's about designating ANTIFA as a terrorist group. President Trump needs to do it NOW.
This is the money quote:

“Since all terrorist groups operate mostly in the shadows, we must empower our law enforcement and security agencies with all the tools possible to illuminate their malevolent and dangerous activities.
These vital tools will become available under the Patriot Act if Antifa is designated as a domestic terrorist group.As a terrorist group, Antifa could have its electronic communications monitored by law enforcement agencies that obtain search warrants. This would enable authorities to gain knowledge of what criminal activity Antifa was up to and more easily prevent violence and apprehend organizers.”

He should now go one step further and declare Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.

...

I was just thinking about that. Break them up and see if they have any ties with the Democrats.

And the leftist, democrat politicians in all of the cities with riots have stepped back and let the rioters have free reign.

What happened to the designer ‘corona’virus? Protesting gained a function to rioting.. and the progressives identify ‘white supremacy’ causing death and destruction. The devil’s handmaidens have gone pandemic.

‘Don’t really understand your point.’

my point should be obvious...as soon as the video of the knee on the neck came out, there was immediate taking to the streets followed by looting and rampaging and destruction of property; this occurred before any organized effort by white leftists took effect...in other words, the lootings preceded the organized rioting, contrary to your contention, and were carried out by local blacks...

I know; thanks, Cap’n Obvious...

I said it, in response to the nonsense being spewed attempting to mitigate the damage caused by the local black populace by blaming-you guessed it-white guys...
