Flash mobs are set up via social media and that must be just fine & dandy.

Need to find proof and sue them black & blue.

Burning, Looting, Mayhem. That way we don’t forget the white antifa involvement. Those idiots mostly live in the suburbs and their stupid parents might be persuaded to vote for law and order come November.

“Most in the BLM movement are pampered young white liberals, so it’s really hard to tell who’s doing what based on color.”

With a bunch of mud sharks bringing up the rear.

Videos showed that most of the looters were black.

I’m guessing that next weekend it will be the white Antifa that will be bused into Chicago to continue the fight against white Capitalist oppression.

“It’s time for locals to Koreatown them.”

The locals we are talking about here are not made of the same stuff. They are mostly urban hipsters and older well off idiots who moved into the city for it’s “diversity”, “vibrancy”, and nightlife. Filthy liberal democrats all who coudn’t fight their way out of a tissue paper bag. The rioters aren’t pulling this shit in China Town, Vietnamese or Mexican neighborhoods.

I have to laugh when liberals, as some of my in-laws are, carry on about diversity.

Enjoy your diversity when it comes back to bite you.

My son used to work at an Ivy League school and had an Indian guy tell him that sure, it’s racially diverse, but it’s basically an echo chamber. One opinion allowed.

The guy worked at other places that were not so racially diverse but had a great deal more diversity of THOUGHT.

A very interesting perspective.

“cause of the unrest is still unknown at this time, but it does appear to be a coordinated effort”

What an effin joke that this was posted by a “news” organization.

They’re buying time to try to figure out what white wing supremacist group to blame for it.

In the earlier summer riots, the peaceful protestors reportedly threw hammers through second story windows, not sure it they reached higher or not.
Not much of a stretch to imagine a few nimble ones scaling up with some climbing equipment, or busting in through fire escapes.

Propaganda Agency.

Yes, Loot.

Followed by arson and murder.

This time they are attacking banks. Stealing ATM machines to get money. THAT is a Federal offense.

Lets see how many will be indentified.

Fast? Nope.

It went on for 4-5 hours that I could see video for.

Yes, and Yes.
Unfortunately, this will also lead to civilian vigilantism.

Walmart sells grappling hooks for rock climbing, etc. Perfect for pulling down fire escape ladders to street level.

Some apartment buildings in NYC are empty while all residents have gone to the country or the Hamptons. A team of “protesters” could take its time without worrying about the police.
