hardly.

Google the Newark riots in the 1960s.

The National Guard alone fired over 100,000 rounds. And killed 11 rioter thugs.

The city looked like Dresden afterwards.

I agree. The writer is incorrect, or simply looking for clicks. The early 70’s make today seem tame. Today everything is simply on tv that presents stuff out of proportions. Basically, we have a Chicago Bulls championship victory celebrations across the US.

Was on a customer delivery and got stuck in that Newark mess in my car...driving all over trying to find my way out.

I remember watching the ‘60’s riots on TV.
It was one of the key items which convinced me to be a Conservative once school indoctrination wore off.

You’ve got to be near 60 years old to have any memory of the ‘60s riots. Few voters have that frame of reference. Especially so in the social media age where every act of agitprop violence is magnified immediately.
