New data from Princeton University shows that riots associated with the Black Lives Matter movement took place in 48 out of the 50 largest cities in the United States.
The study found:
In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations, meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests.Mainstream media seized on the data last week to argue that the Trump narrative of violent demonstrations was false. The study itself speculated that public perceptions of riots were skewed by political orientation and biased media framing and disproportionate coverage of violent demonstrations.

However, public perceptions may simply have reflected the wide geographic distribution of the violence.
The Princeton data set shows that nearly every major city in the United States experienced riots from late May to the end of August even under the narrow definition that the study used to classify riots (as separate from events described as police violence against protesters).
The only exceptions within the top 50 cities by population were Fresno, California, and Mesa, Arizona.
Thus in the public imagination, the proportion that matters most may not be the 7% of protests that were violent, but the 96% of major urban areas that experienced rioting.
Within the largest 100 cities by population, 74 experienced riots.

Waylon and Willie and the boys put a stop to it.
Maybe shithole cities like Rochester should stay burnt out and boarded up?
If BLM really mattered, they’d burn down the crack houses, not the businesses,eh?
Newark NJ was fairly quiet; blacks have controlled the city for decades and they know 1) their own leaders kept it sh!tty, and 2) if they harass the remaining businesses they’ll never come back. Gentrification is happening in a couple of areas in NJ, but Newark isn’t one of them.
Go straight to the rental vans and search them, then impound them for evidence. Simple!
Nothing to speak of in Raleigh NC.
Now I've got the song stuck in my head. Not a bad thing, though.
I’m ok with true protests/demonstrations. Heck, I’ve done some demonstrating in my time!
Anti-Defamation League is showing all the violence in 2019 & 2020 as right-wing extremism. Here is their H.E.A.T. map. I already have it sorted that way; scroll down about halfway. https://www.adl.org/education-and-resources/resource-knowledge-base/adl-heat-map?s=eyJpZGVvbG9naWVzIjpbIlJpZ2h0IFdpbmcgKFdoaXRlIFN1cHJlbWFjaXN0KSJdLCJpbmNpZGVudHMiOltdLCJ5ZWFyIjpbMjAxOSwyMDIwXX0%253D
Now compare that to what they say is ‘left-wing’ in the same time period: https://www.adl.org/education-and-resources/resource-knowledge-base/adl-heat-map?s=eyJpZGVvbG9naWVzIjpbIkxlZnQgV2luZyJdLCJpbmNpZGVudHMiOltdLCJ5ZWFyIjpbMjAxOSwyMDIwXX0%253D
TWO!! Two left-wing acts of violence in 2019 & 2020 COMBINED!!
I’ve been using the ACLED demonstration map this morning to determine where I’ll retire. Looking at small towns in Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, or South Dakota.
“...Those airline tickets and truck/van rentals are not cheap. Cut off source of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Prolly from DNC via Soros. Cut it off. NOW!....”
THIS right here is the answer. Our beloved politicians know it is the answer, but are scared spitless to do it because it involves a former “black” POTUS.
The funding comes from the Soros/Slim/obama shadow government. CUT off the head of that, and this snake dies a quick death.
Hmmmmm..... wonder how many of these are rat-controlled.
The Titanic had a mostly uneventful crossing of the Atlantic. People making a big deal about that iceberg encounter are just anti-cruise ships.
Are Mesa and Fresno republican? I believe Fresno is
Giles, mayor of Mesa is a Republican
(from Byron York tweet)

Looking at Wyoming or Montana..... just daydreaming from northern Delaware here.
