Despite recalcitrant Democrats, rioters may finally be punished
American Thinker ^ | 09/03/2020 | Andrea Widburg

One of the reasons the protests raging across America have been so successful is that Democrats have ensured that the rioters do not suffer any consequences for the property damage they inflict or for their assaults against people. Instead, Hollywood leftists and Biden staffers contribute to funds that instantly bail them out. Alternatively, left-leaning judicial systems release them without any charges. It appears, though, that the federal government is partnering with less lenient local law officials to try a new approach.

Within days of the Black Lives Matter protests starting in Minneapolis, big money got involved:

Last week, a series of prominent American movie stars declared they would be donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a non-profit organizing cash bail payments for Minneapolis protestors arrested amid the carnage of the restless riots.

Hollywood wasn’t the only source of funds. Biden staffers contributed too:

Campaign staffers for presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden have donated to a group in Minnesota that is paying the bail for people arrested during the protests over the death of George Floyd by a white police officer, according to a report.

At least 13 members of the former vice president’s campaign made donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which opposes cash bail to avoid being jailed before trial, Reuters reported on Saturday.

The fund uses donations to pay bail fees in Minneapolis.

Because they’re not getting any consequences, there is nothing to make the rioters stop. Moreover, when Gov. Kate Brown sought help from law enforcement officers near Portland, she got a resounding no from departments unwilling to subject their officers to the consequence-free violence in Portland.

The Oregon State Police and the federal government, however, have come up with a workaround: the feds are deputizing state troopers. What this means is that those arrested will be arrested under federal law, which is not inclined now to be lenient.

Moreover, if the rioters assault the officers, which is what they’ve been doing for three months now, the U.S. Attorney’s Office can nail them for attacking federal agents. It’s to be hoped that the feds work with law enforcement in Contra Costa too, because Diana Becton, a Soros-funded DA, is refusing to charge violent rioters who assault law enforcement officers.

Perhaps with real consequences, the rioters will end. After all, when Wisconsin police arrested Matthew Banta, 23, a brave Antifa warrior with a flamethrower, smoke grenades, and fireworks, he “dropped into the fetal position and began crying.”

Some of the people on the ground are insane, and some are psychopaths, so they are genuinely dangerous. Many, though, are soy boys and girls who are having fun, right until the fun stops and reality kicks in. Once a few of these “fighters” realize they’re facing ten years in prison, they’ll go back to their mommies’ downstairs rooms.

And I heard that he was AGAIN released.

The ones that aren't are caught up in a moment of mass hysteria, so really they are all insane.

The key is to give some of the “soy boys” ten years of hard time.

Some lessons need to be learned the hard way.

But the main reason why is not because it is the right thing to do - but to help Biden’s poll numbers.

I always thought that just a few rounds of bird shot would be discouraging.

The murder of Jay Bishop, and the 4 chan crowd put the photo’s together almost certainly proving who killed him, changed the balance.

And President Trumps visit to Kenosha Wisconsin really made his emotions clear. He was NOT happy. It showed.

The murder suspect has been identified as snowboard instructor Michael Reinoehl, from Oregon. Reports say he’s been found. He’s 100% antifa.

The democrats who paid the rioters need to go to jail. biden’s staff, and kamala, in other words, have committed the crime of giving material support to terrorists and need to go to jail.

We need to reward the rioters and their financial backers with the honor of becoming the first Mars settlers.

I am sure they will make a new planet a wonderful place for all.

P.S. As part of the rejection of systemic racism, no white male engineers or scientists will be permitted to design, build or operate anything related to the missions.

Maybe we should pay looters to burn out and loot the houses of the Hollywood kooks who provided the bail out money? Whatcha bet they change their tune in a nanosecond?

I wonder, if it can be proved that the guy that killed the Trump supporter received material support from anyone else for the purpose of unrest, can they be charged as an accessory?

Great find.

I hope this has been sent to DHS, POTUS, DOJ, etc.

Who the h3ll is paying for this??? The nice tents, the latrines, the private fence surround?

Like the guy filming says....these (dispicable) people get to come home to their protected houses, at night, after completely destroying private/govt property.

The vid also shows needles, everywhere, within this compound.

SICKENING!!!

Many of the rioters may also be the truckloads of felons released from prisons in blue states “because of COVID.”
