Dems have abandoned all principle by telegraphing approval of some rioting

Are some riots good and others unacceptable? Surely not. Those who destroy property and commit assaults, whether against law enforcers or civilians, ought to be punished, no matter the cause they claim to support.
But today’s liberals reject this fair, universal standard. Some riots deserve legal protection, they insist, while others must be harshly repressed. It all depends on the politics of the rioters.
Some, such as the excitable Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), are cheering the prospect of another round of Black Lives Matter riots, er, “peaceful protests,” if the Derek Chauvin trial doesn’t go their way. They’re also up in arms about a new Florida law that strengthens punishment for those who take to the streets to commit violence.

The “progressive” Democrats have returned to the Middle Ages, where those with royal blood receive special privileges.

I’m skeptical the jury will be allowed to do the right thing but man if there’s an aqcuittal - light em up!! It will be a lovely preview of CW2 in our Rat-controlled urban precincts.
Rioting is a principle tenet of the Rats, and 60 million idiots voted for it.

All we can hope is that the nasty bitch Waters is in the front line running her nasty mouth when the riot guns are deployed and utilized.
When the riots start and the ferrets begin to burn loot and murder the riot guns need to come out and speak loudly to restore law and order and the rule of law.
Riot guns are the cure for riots

Dems are perfectly comfortable with and committed to inciting violence. Witness Kamala Harris and Cynthia Johnson. Their rhetoric was condoned by the left and the MSM. President Trump got accused of insurrection for telling the public to make themselves heard. Twitter: @EricMMatheny [24 second video clip of Kamala Harris' comments about the rioters who are "not gonna stop, and they should not."

Full Transcript of the 24 Second Clip from Kamala Harris' August 2020 interview with Stephen Colbert:
But they’re not gonna stop.
They’re not gonna stop.
And that’s…they’re not…this is a movement, I’m telling you.
They’re not gonna stop.
And, and everyone beware.
Because they’re not gonna stop. It is gonna…they’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day.
And that should be….everyone should take note of that on both levels.
That this isn’t…they’re not gonna let up.
They’re not going to let up, and they should not.
And we should….(end of video clip)
In my opinion, Kamala Harris delivered her statements about the rioters in a cooperative manner, as if bragging about the the rioters' determination in order to help them develop a reputation for power in the eyes of the public.
At times, she seems to have a gleam in her eye.
In the two gifs below, even without the soundtrack present, I believe she's enjoying herself, representing the rioters against the best interests of the public being threatened, beaten, and having their businesses destroyed.
She's not expressing concern. She is, in effect, taking the place of their spokesman, assuring the public they are an inexorable force, which she elevates by describing them as a "movement."
The first gif below is the start of her comments in which she functions as if she's repesenting them directly while saying, "they're not gonna stop." Her intonation and facial expression is a better match for the phrase, "we're not gonna stop". She repeats it over and over, as if intent on convincing her adversaries (i.e., the general public) to give ground to their remorseless movement.
The part of the clip below shows Kamala saying "...before Election Day in November, and they're not gonna stop after Election Day." Again, said in a manner intended to give force to the rioters' demands.
Legislators tamped down the Cynthia Johnson "controversy" for optics, but no compelled Ms Johnson to call off "soldiers" whom she told to "Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay." I'm betting election tampering witnesses, even if they are democrats, are viewed as Trump supporters that Cynthia was targeting.

Transcript of this thug's threats:
So this is just a warning to you Trumpers.
Be careful.
Walk lightly.
We ain't playing with you.
Enough of the shennanigans. Enough, is enough.
And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay.

Nowadays, “due process” means that the jury had just better provide the verdict that the New York Times says is correct. To do otherwise would be to bring down severe misfortune on yourself, your family, and your city.

As the closing arguments of the Derek Chauvin trial wrap up today those who want to advance racial hatred attempt to intimidate a prior defense witness. Former police training officer Barry Brodd testified for the defense. His former home in Santa Rosa, California, was attacked Sunday with a pigs head left on the blood-splattered front porch. Fortunately Mr. Brodd had previously moved away from that location, but the current owner was obviously mortified.
The far-left is once again using every resource to trigger violence and hatred around this case. Without a doubt the activists inside Obama’s Chicago network are coordinating the effort. They have been exploiting the death of George Floyd for maximum political value and antagonism from the outset.
CALIFORNIA – A group of as of yet unidentified vandals reportedly threw a bloody severed pigs head on the porch of the former home of a retired California cop who served as a defense witness in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer currently standing trial for the murder of George Floyd.
According to NBC, the current resident of former training officer Barry Brodd’s former home in Santa Rosa found the animal’s head on their blood-splattered front porch around 3 a.m. Saturday morning in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity – or, just stupidity by vandals too dumb to realize that Brodd hadn’t lived at the house for years.
The local police department says it seems the home was targeted because of Brodd’s witness testimony in Chauvin’s trial, in which Brodd likened Floyd’s death to an “accidental death.”
“That isn’t an incident of deadly force,” Brodd said during the trial, according to the Associated Press. “That’s an incident of an accidental death.”
The unfortunate current resident of Brodd’s old house called the police after seeing multiple suspects, dressed in all black, fleeing the scene. The same group is thought to have soaked a local statue in blood and left a sign reading “Oink Oink” about 45 minutes later. (read more)
Rage, hatred and violence is the mantra of the far-left….
The people behind the coordination of this national division are the same communists who indoctrinated Barack Obama into the Alinsky methods. It is all one large soup mix of various racial antagonizers in the same pot. This is what they do…. this is how they drive division.

dems helped organize the riots and takeovers. They gave them moral and material support. dems are fully responsible for everything that happened during the riots. dems refused to prosecute rioters.
