Based on polling data, dems will now condemn the violence. And the media will say they have all along. That’s conviction in the dems world.

“Dozens of state and local police reforms have been enacted since the protests started.”

Yeah, lots of “reforms” like $0 bail, turning arrested people loose immediately, police not arresting anybody in the first place, police standing down in the face of blatant arson and looting, governors not calling our their NGs, violent attacks on police, DAs not charging people, police budgets cut, thousands of demoralized police retiring early, PDs find it impossible to recruit new cadets, etc.

Great “reforms.”

It’s becoming apparent to even the low-infos that “Black Lives Matter” is pretty much a bunch of skinny white kids acting out.

F - - k BLM, liberals, socialist, Marxists, communist and anyone in the LGBTQRSTUV alphabet.

If a COVID like disease wiped them all out I’d celebrate.

That’s what it is here. I am against any injustice, but it’s not clear to me anything helpful is being done.

Just like in Ferguson and with Thugvon Martin the truth eventually comes out and it never fits the media and politicians narrative

Comcast reported giving $150 million to BLM. Curious how that transaction occurred.

NBC, MSNBC are Comcast

Comcast is the nation’s #3 telecom provider. Basically, its subscribers donated to BLM

There must be some scary numbers coming in to the Ds and it’s too late for Demented Joe to come out of his basement and start to campaign. All in all, it’s been a beautiful week for the good guys.

We need to pin a list here if the corporate culprits.

I’ll start with Bed Bath & Beyond.

We dropped all connections with those bastards and let our friends and friends of friends etc. know

BLM (burn, loot, murder) is a rabid marxist group hellbent on overthrowing the government. It wa put together by the Soros/obama shadow government. It uses black folk and racism as protection and cover to carry out their agenda.
Follow where the donations to BLM go. Follow it all the way thru and one will themselves at the DNC.

And the author hadn’t even got through the Unicorn farts to cover all of the urban renewal that was in progress.

What a pantload!

“Well, as media attention turns away from the protests, it may simply be easier for white people to forget about the issue, while the stakes were always greater for Black Americans.”

Maybe it’s that. Or maybe it’s that as the fact of rioting breaks through the old media blackout (it’s getting harder and harder for CNN to say “peaceful protests” without looking like Baghdad Bob), it turns out that months of BLM riots is not as popular as D’s thought it would be.

Is it possible that those silly, racist white folks are thinking burning down our cities is not such a great idea? That maybe having a thin blue line between them and rioters bent on destroying them and their property and forcing them to bend the knee might be a good idea?

"Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos responded to a customer’s racist soliloquy on Instagram Monday saying he’s “happy to lose” customers over his support for the Black Lives Matter movement."
