A few weeks ago, the Left demanded Pres. Trump remove Federal officers from the area as they claimed the officers were escalating the conflict. Pres. Trump complied. The Left now fully owns this mess.

Did the Spanish Flu involve rioters and bullies attacking working people, police, etc?

Small fires only cause the sprinkler system put them out.

The old saying is a conservative was once a liberal who was mugged. Libs are pretty obtuse, but I think the first time a mayor or city councilman gets pulled from a car and beaten silly, attitudes will change — at least a little. All these libs agree with the rioting and looting, until it comes to their neighborhood.

In the ‘old days’, the way you stopped a riot and looting was simple, three little words:

SHOOT TO KILL............

End of ‘riot’.....................

There is less than one degree of separation between the “peaceful” protestors and those that commit the violence and vandalism.

The author of the article supports the violent actions of the criminals, as proven by her minimizing the severity of the violent actions. Her words:

“a handful of people” “ peaceful protest” “A few masked people “
“The fires lit inside the building remained relatively small,” “The flames did not burn for long”

The WaPo still pretending this is about George Floyd and the “protests” are “peaceful”, because some moron behind a desk 3000 miles away knows more than your own lying eyes.

“I think the first time a mayor or city councilman gets pulled from a car and beaten silly, attitudes will change”

Yes. In Wisconsin, the mayor of Madison wasn't doing anything to stop the escalating violence. But then a gay democrat state senator was beat by a couple of antifa women and put in the hospital. At that point Wisconsin's governor did come down on the BS. And all it took was for a democrat politician to get beat up.

"Protesting what?"

They are protesting "It". The Evil which cannot be Named. The Satanic Documents promoting and listing all hatred and racism in the world. The barrier to a People's Utopia. The Democrats would be screaming their names, but they have to convince all the Proletariat first that only the True Believers know the Name of what is best for all Mankind.

(The Bible and the Constitution, but you can understand that until Democrats finish brainwashing all the children, they can't announce it.)

Or a citizen militia to 'peaceful protest' the presence of ANTIFA terrorists. Off duty officers are encouraged to wear a mask.

Measure and countermeasure. Throw rocks to break a window, then throw a burning missile into the window.

Castle defenders would pour boiling oil down on would be invaders. Think of how much panic a defender could cause with a well placed Molotov cocktail, delivered from above.
