It’s a Straight Line from Biden to BLM. Black Lives Matter is not a reaction to Donald Trump.
National Review ^ | September 5, 2020 | Andrew C. McCarthy

‘The devil made me do it!” That was how funnyman Flip Wilson explained away his rogue moves in 1970s comedy bits. In 2020, it is Joe Biden’s rationalization of the Black Lives Matter revolution, with Baal taking on a decidedly orange cast.

An unmistakable correlation between the radical Left’s extortionate violence and the sudden tightening of polls has stirred the Democrats’ senescent standard-bearer to bolt the basement. He’d hoped to wait another week or so before emerging to read short speeches about President Trump’s erratic handling of COVID-19 (the government’s missteps during the Obama-era swine flu pandemic having apparently slipped Biden’s mind). But he’s got a tiger by the tail in the radical Left, which is turning electoral battlegrounds into smoldering battlefields. So now he’s hustling into the hustings with a narrative about what’s motivating his fellow travelers — who have just added murder to the mayhem they’ve wrought on America’s streets for the past three months.

Here’s the punchline: Trump made them do it!

That was the upshot of the former vice president’s speech in Pittsburgh on Monday. “Are you safe in Trump’s America?” His argument lays at the incumbent president’s feet the upheaval instigated by Democratic supporters in Democrat-run cities. In a weekend warm-up as the flames continued to rise in Portland, Minneapolis, and Kenosha, Biden claimed it is Trump who is “fanning the flames of hate.” By Monday, Biden was roaring about how, on Trump’s watch, the murder rate is up 26 percent in the nation’s cities this year (a shift from Democratic messaging of five minutes ago, which said surging crime was nothing to be concerned about because crime is still historically low — thanks to policing policies Democrats oppose, because, you know, racism).

We need to remind the mob that their safety in anonymity is false.

Their group identity inspired criminal assault is a deadly threat — that’s invariably the way of mobs, not peacefully and lawful assembly. The individual members must be reminded that there is no safe Harbor in the mob. Each individual is responsible and inherits the status of “deadly threat.”

If the left doesn’t like this, too bad. They’ve been pushing this group think for decades. It’s time to pay the piper.

All the thug groups involved in all the rioting are part of the democrat party since the KKK was founded. Names change but the tactics remain the same.
