I offer the following article as background for what is going on around the country. What the author details here has been reported in many cities around the country. The article breaks down the chaos into an understandable whole.
What is Warren ‘Bill’ DeBlasio doing? Is he Nero who watched as Rome burned? As mayor of the financial hub of the world, DeBlasio seems totally unable to exert any semblance of control over what is going on in NYC.
The protests that started over the horrific death of George Floyd actually brought most of the country together for a moment. However, the protests are no longer about George Floyd. And they are no longer protests. They are riots. It would be appropriate for even CNN and MSNBC to use that word.
Two weeks ago when people were protesting lockdowns in their respective state capitals, Hillary Clinton came out and labelled these people as “domestic terrorists.” These were regular citizens who were peacefully demanding their constitutional rights. They did not burn, loot, riot or commit mayhem. These were people who left the areas where they protested in better condition than before they arrived as they cleaned up after themselves.
Where is Hillary Clinton now? As of this writing, she has not labelled the rioters, looters and murderers who are rampaging through our cities as any kind of terrorist, domestic or otherwise. The same can be said for other Democratic elites. Apparently these rioters, looters, arsonists, etc. are just exercising their constitutional rights. Such people could not possibly be terrorists.
The following is a statement from a Republican lawmaker in South Carolina.
Every American has a right to demand answers. To demand a renewed dialogue. To demand change where appropriate. And FOR SURE to demand justice in the horrific death of George Floyd.
But those demands will quickly be lost in the chaos if they’re made by assaulting our law enforcement officers and destroying property. These disgusting images are just a few from South Carolina over the weekend. Throughout the nation, hundreds of officers have been injured during the last few days, which is completely intolerable. ...
On Saturday the violent far left group, Antifa, foot soldiers for the Democratic Party, were identified by AG Bill Barr as the primary organizing group behind the riots, looting, murder and mayhem spreading across the country. Barr is not one to make statements like this unless he has definitive knowledge.
After the successful launch of the SpaceX rocket, PDJT gave a speech that addressed the riots going on around the country. This was no Obama speech where he apologizes to the looters and thugs who are vandalizing our cities and violently attacking anyone who disagrees with them.
This is an interesting interview with Matt Whitaker, who was the acting Attorney General between Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr (11/7/2018-2/14/2019). The interview highlights how the Special Counsel Witch Hunt continued to severely weaken the rule of law in this country. The interview also displays the difficulty that AG Bill Barr has in trying to restore the faith of true Americans in our justice system.
