News consumers can be forgiven for assuming that the unrest in America’s cities that erupted after George Floyd’s death had largely abated. Media’s coverage of that lawlessness has certainly ebbed, but, as events in Chicago on Sunday night demonstrated, the organized assaults on American cities did not.
The story in Chicago is now a familiar one. Police officers responded to a Sunday afternoon call about an armed man in the city’s Englewood neighborhood. A scuffle broke out. Police were shot at, and they returned fire. The suspect, who was wounded, was taken into custody.
This story was soon mangled beyond recognition by the game of telephone that is social media: The suspect, who was actually in his 20s, was a child, according to the salacious rumors circulating online. The police did not exercise discretion when discharging their weapons. The crowd that gathered to protest this event was beaten by police without provocation. And, predictably, rioting and looting—the ultimate expression of powerless angst, according to its apologists—followed. The damage this solipsistic narrative has done to the fabric of society can now be measured in blood and shattered glass.

The “peaceful protests” aka riots have had nothing to do George Floyd’s death since about the first week after his death. The actions of one bad cop have been usurped by people that want to overthrow this Republic and replace it with a benign and generous Democratic Socialist Government that has never existed and will never exist.
The riots in Portland predate George Floyd by several years.

Start terminating the rioters
These riots were planned well in advance and they were just waiting for an excuse. Soros is behind a lot of this, and the looting is happening because they can get away with it. They don’t need an excuse; just an opportunity.

But Trump assured me that he was going to declare antifa a terrorist organization.
