Bill Maher: 'Reckless' lockdowns helped fuel riots, could lead to 'blood in the streets' after election
Fox News ^ | June 05 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

"Real Time" host Bill Maher offered a dire warning that violence will ensue regardless of who wins the November election.

During a panel discussion that aired Friday night, Maher suggested that the "reckless" lockdowns mandated in response to the coronavirus outbreak helped fuel the riots following the death of George Floyd.

"This lockdown that we've been living with -- do you agree with me? -- that this has a lot to do with the unrest in the streets? That when you coop people up and when they have no hope and no job, that they -- why not go out in the streets?" Maher asked. "I wonder what America will look like, what police departments look like if they have to fight this all the time."

Well no kidding!

It was so obvious. People are social creatures. Living alone is not normal for us. How else to explain the rise in suicides, murders, domestic and child abuse?

I myself thought of killing myself but I didn’t. One can only take the isolation for so long.

Maher needs to lose his job. The only thing a white is allowed to utter is, “Black Lives Matter”. Period. Full stop.

People are social creatures. When they are stuck inside, employed or not, you want to socialize and not via computer. They want to go to the beach, take a walk with friends, etc.

Suddenly, you can join a protest with your friends and no one cares about 6ft, masks, etc. you may very well take it just to get outside. Depending on what city you live in, you can get soem really good deals at local stores, 100% off retail price.

Yeah, and in Japan and Switzerland, too!

Oh - Wait a minute! It's peaceful there - although they likewise have imposed stringent quarantine measures. How is that possible?

"Maher suggested that the "reckless" lockdowns mandated in response to the coronavirus outbreak helped fuel the riots following the death of George Floyd."

I doubt the lockdowns have much to do with these nation-wide riots. Think of past riots that had nothing to do with a disease. I believe that the perpetual victim class and the anarchists are always waiting for an excuse for looting, arson, killing, attacking LE, and basic anarchy. They even say as much. What does CORVID have to do with so many street thugs and politicians promoting defunding or eliminating Police? Nothing. It's there time to destroy the country.

That said, I suggest a massive Blue Flu in major cities. Let's see how these radical students and other commie anarchists deal with that. When no one responds to 911 calls, they will be facing the reality of their stupid ideology. Once they've burned down their cities and head to suburban America, they will be facing more than a food/diaper shortage which is being reported.

It would be a clandestine civil war that they will lose and then head to Skid Row or the parents basements and wait for Gov handouts that will be a long time coming. They will die in the streets with their Marxist teachings because they destroyed their supply chain.

The suburbanites will have some difficulties, however due their connections and support for free enterprise manufacturers, truckers and distributors, they will survive as long as they protect their supply with arms. Talk about a have and have not society - there they go. Utopia!!! Oops, with a new caste system they built. They can all die tomorrow for I care, and with their anarchy beliefs./actions many many will. I would call it "culling" of the mindless unproductive.

I don't want to kill anyone from my windows or streets, but survival of the fittest may be the order of the day if they come knocking in suburbia and rural areas. I'm an old fart and would volunteer point for those who still have the skills and youth to put them down. This is getting serious since the Mayors and Governors are allowing them to run rampant. It's coming. Let's see what happens with the Million protesters/rioters in DC over this weekend. Sure there will be other riots in various cities. This could be the Lexington of our era.

All the really good protests and riots happen in the spring after folks have been cooped inside for the winter.

This time it was times 10. An election year brings it up a notch more.
