Our Current Chaos is not All About the Death of George Floyd
American Thinker.com ^ | June 1, 2020 | William Sullivan

Do not, for one moment, make the mistake of believing that the violence and vandalism we are seeing in recent riots area are about the horrific death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. This is not to say that there are not protestors among the groups that are genuinely outraged, and who seek to peaceably assemble to petition the government for a meaningful change to police policy and demand justice, all of which is explicitly protected by the First Amendment to our Constitution. But it is to say that any lawful means of protest ends when it violates an innocent person’s private property rights.

First, the obvious. The vandals who pillaged a Louis Vuitton store weren’t driven to do so because of their sense of moral indignation about Floyd’s death. They were driven to do so because they liked the idea of smashing a window to steal designer items more than the idea of working and saving to earn those expensive items.

But let’s imagine for a moment that it actually was Floyd’s death that drove them to the act. The owners of the business had precisely nothing to do with Floyd’s death, so even then, in what meaningful sense would this be considered “justice”?

Imagine this moral question differently. Imagine that my friend has his car stolen, and the thief is arrested, awaiting trial. A lot of people like my friend have their cars stolen these days, I conclude, so I’m understandably angry about it. Rather than await justice from the courts, I instead find some other innocent person who has some expensive wheels, and assault him and steal his car.

Benghazi wasn’t about a video.
It’s what the left does.

Am I the first to note, that in a normal day who gives a damn about Minneapolis? It’s not exactly a major city. They don’t even seem to have enough blacks to riot.

Nice.

Private armed citizens do not acknowledge defeatest rules of engagement that the dumb Democrat mayor bosses have given most police to abide by... just the 2A itself, Castle Doctrine in some states, and an overwhelming use of whatever violent force necessary to preserve ones life and life of family.

During the Obama presidential campaign, the Democrats hired rooms full of social scientists to advise them.

What was the advice from the social scientists to the Democrats?

“Use fear. Frighten the voters. Scared people will vote Democrat.”

Nice guys, eh?

The riot is because the Democrats know Biden is a loser.

You are right. It’s Crisis #2 of 2020 for Donald Trump. Just as the CV19 epidemic was expanded and promoted so as to get Trump removed from office, this too is being expanded, promoted, fueled and financed so as to become a major crisis for Trump. I predicted it withing seconds of seeing the event.

It’s not over yet. The election campaign is in full swing, although there are no debates, and no TV ads. But it is being conducted regardless through the crises they have cooked up for Trump. This is going to get worse. They have already killed innocent Whites, and will kill cops. You can bet on it. Then, no matter what Trump does, they will blame him for it and call him racist.

It’s not a random series of unconnected events.

All we need now for Crisis #3 is for a hurricane to hit Puerto Rico. They will blame it on Trump. The plan is going according to schedule.

Media: Stay home, self quarantine, protect your fellow man from the virus! DO NOT GO OUt! Unless you want to riot and pretend it’s about a bad cop, then go for it.

You are right that it is not about a white man killing a black man.
This is pure evil we are fighting.
So we need to look to our Mighty Heavenly Father for what to do:
WE NEED TO TURN BACK TO GOD!

I am thinking of this scripture regarding The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

If this were about justice, the protestors would have protested when OJ Simpson in cold blooded murder, killed two white people, but instead was acquitted by a jury which had ten women and two men, of whom nine were black, two white and one Hispanic.
