Multiple businesses in Richmond were set on fire, damaged and looted during overnight protests that turned violent.

The damage was still being assessed Sunday morning, but businesses that experienced broken windows and looting include the CVS on Broad and Arthur Ashe and the ABC store on Broad, where people were spotted stealing bottles of alcohol.

In that area Broad Street is the DMZ zone. South of it are amazing Late Victorian homes. North of it is the hood.

Maybe I’m overly optimistic but I think, as the American public watch the mindless destruction committed by these leftist vermin, that Trump’s re-election is a virtual certainty.

Floyd who? #free sh##.

Looting on Arthur Ashe is ironic

[Old Sarge]

You’re overly optimistic.

Because the herbivores formerly known as the Mercun Peepul will see the wall-2-wall coverage by the media and think, gee, all these noble savages can’t be wrong, Orange Mad really IS bad.

Nope.

I was just talking to my brain-washed (but lovely) daughter in Richmond. She was telling me how this was Trump’s fault. Well, she was accusing Trump—but could not articulate how it was “his” fault.

When I suggested she come home for a while, she declared she couldn’t do that. I mentioned that if I lived some place where I was scared, I would feel inclined to take some action to change that feeling.

Nope...but its Trump’s fault. [Sigh]

.....as a former resident of Richmond, I know that area
pretty well....sad to see what is happening to it now.
And let me just say at the outset, no one could be more
of a stronger supporter of President Trump than I am
....but things are stacking up against him....record high levels of unemployment; the lingering controversies regarding how to deal with this COVID pandemic; the constant yapping of
the junk-yard dogs at his heels that is today’s Democrat
party; and now this.....all I can say is my home and family
are well protected by Mr. Smith, Mr. Wesson, Mr. Ruger, Mr. Baretta, Mr. Taurus, and a few others........

All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. And that is exactly why this evil goes on in areas that Democrats rule. The police do nothing and the thieves flourish in immunity.

After curfew, shoot to kill dont arrest. No riot.

I was just talking to my brain-washed (but lovely) daughter in Richmond. She was telling me how this was Trump’s fault. Well, she was accusing Trump—but could not articulate how it was “his” fault.

She’s honest about one thing - all these protests are about Trump (in her mind). It has nothing to do with police brutality - the real issue (a few bad apples)

Same thing happened when Bush was President. Everyday, there were great ‘war protests’. When Obama was elected, the protests stopped, but the war did not - that revealed the true motive of the protests.

Democrats choose issues to protest when Republicans are in charge - but the real target is a Republican politician.

To repeat a Buck Sextion twitter post:

Minneapolis is finding out during these riots what New York has learned during the COVID lockdown -

During a crisis that requires leadership with resolve, courage and good judgement - having a weak, utterly ineffectual far Left-wing mayor is a huge liability that gets people hurt.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mayor Stoney) & Gov Blackface Baby Killer Coonman are in the same category as described above & the last word "hurt" should be "hurt/killed".

Well no matter how bad it gets, the fact that Bidens campaign is donating money to pay for the bail of arrested rioters tends to make me believe this is Pelosi”s fault.

We as a Nation are under attack, and I stand by the president 110%. When I took the oath is was against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. that sadly is the DNC Globalists these days.

This Plandemic and riot has their fingerprints all over it, so this is by no means Trumps fault, it is his problem, it is the DNC”s fault.

They are the ones race baiting and fomenting sedition. They are guilty of sedition for that. But with the link to Globalism and China they are also guilty of Treason. The only thing legally protecting them for years now was the lack of violence from their mechanization.

That legal hurdle is now past.

Let the hangings begin. I can hold the fort with Mossburg and friends.

Treason

[Chewbarkah]

These are Democrat Riots, and should be called that. The same element wanted to unleash them at the Democrat National Convention, but since that is being quashed to hide Biden, the criminals have let loose now.

I agree with your conclusion. Decent people are ready to respond to this Leftist tantrum with a massive turnout in November.

[NormsRevenge]

Thugs just spreading the pain around.

Stealing alcohol from the ABC (state) store? Virginia’s gonna get serious against THOSE looters. Regular businesses, eh.

.....LOL.... right on....great post - thanks....
I pray every day for this country.....I served
for 28 years in its Armed Forces and would do it all
over again....ummmm, if they would give me a new knee,
better eyesight, take away the tinnitus in my years,
cure me of that dreaded CRS syndrome (Can’t Remember S.....)
Yes, I almost took home one of Mr. Mossberg’s new MC2Cs
but instead took home one of Mr. Stoeger’s STR-9s.....
not a good choice....Mr. Stoeger and I need to sit down
and chat.......
