Time to scramble the bodycams and litter the streets with the bodies of the protestors.

Is the flooding related to the weather alert?

This is no longer a "protest"....not that it ever was to begin with.

This is a rebellion.

The swing voters, especially suburban women, are watching these riots in horror. That’s good for President Trump.

The Weather Underground could be behind this.

Fireworks is a word that people associate with harmless fun. But fireworks are deadly dangerous weapons.

Example: African illegal immigrants in Europe soon after they arrived selected a female victim, then threw fireworks into the crowd of bystanders. People were deafened, burned badly, terrified and in disarray. At that moment as planned, the Africans grabbed the young woman, transported her away to an apartment and then brutally gang raped and beat her. No suspects. Done several times.

So terrorists were throwing bombs at the police.

And they were constrained and prevented from using bullets or tear gas.

And somehow this is ok?
