The present rioting, which is occurring in cities that have leftist Mayors and administrations, is part of a plan. We have seen this slowly coming together. The “Black Lives Matter” theme goes back for years. It is increasingly radicalized. The election of Donald Trump made everything about politics.
An article in Bazaar from a few days ago: If you are married to a Trump Supporter, Divorce Them:
Supporting Trump at this point does not indicate a difference of opinions. It indicates a difference of values…You do not need to try to make it work with someone who thinks of people as “illegals.” Just divorce them
This would be amusing if it were not behind the latest attack on civilization. Are we becoming the Weimar Republic ?
In 2002, a pro-Israel event at San Francisco State University was interrupted by ‘protestors’, screaming things like “go back to Russia!” and “get out or we will kill you!’ and shoving Hillel students against a wall. Laurie Zoloth, a campus Jewis leader “turned to the police and to every administrator I could find and asked them to remove the counter demonstrators from the Plaza, to maintain the separation of 100 feet that we had been promised. The police told me that they had been told not to arrest anyone, and that if they did, ‘it would start a riot.’ I told them that it already was a riot.”
That, of course, was San Francisco, ground zero in the war on civilization, which is being directed from walled compounds in rich areas.
The insurrection, which is going on now, is an attempt to create another Kent State event, which would radicalize more young people as that event did. The Governor of Minnesota, who daughter seems to be a participant in the riot direction is desperate to find a “white supremacist” to blame.
So far, he has been blaming “outsiders,” a claim that has been proven false. Few of those arrested gave other than Minnesota addresses.
KARE11 reviewed 36 arrests on the Hennepin County Jail roster and found that 86% of the arrests they reviewed had a Minnesota address.
Following the revelation, Mayor Carter and Mayor Frey said that the information about rioters being from out of the area was inaccurate, according to KARE11.
Mayor Carter blamed the police for providing bad information.
Minneapolis Police spokesman John Elder said that he believes many of those arrested gave false addresses.
Oh, OK.
The first thing to understand about the destructive mob riots sweeping the country is that they are not race riots. The death of George Lloyd in Minneapolis last week while being arrested by the police is merely the pretext for the violence. The cause is hatred. Hatred of America, first of all, but ultimately hatred of civilized order itself.
Many of the thugs looting and destroying property are white. So what we are witnessing is not a battle between black and white. It is a battle between the forces of civilization, on the one hand, and the forces of anarchy, on the other.
But no—that is not quite right. To speak of a battle between two things implies that there are two active sides. That is not, not yet, the case with the tsunami of destruction and murder we are watching on nightly television. Rather, what we are witnessing is an assault by the forces of barbarism on a supine establishment that has been pretending to represent the authority of civilization.
This is insurrection. Plan and simple.
The mayor of Minneapolis blamed “white supremacists” and “outsiders” for the violence.
Unfortunately for that assertion, there are no white supremacists to be found, only members of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and kindred groups. An analysis of the zip codes of those arrested shows that they are overwhelmingly from the Minneapolis area.
There are no “White Supremacists,” just white anarchists and their black allies and stooges.
Even the story is now complciated by the coroner’s report.
The official complaint submitted to a Minnesota district court answers some questions, but raises others.
Things are often more complicated than they appear at first blush. That is certainly the case with the murder of George Floyd, with which former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was charged in a complaint filed on Friday.
For one thing, contrary to most people’s assumption, Mr. Floyd appears not to have died from asphyxia or strangulation as Chauvin pinned him to the ground, knee to the neck. Rather, as alleged in the complaint, Floyd suffered from coronary-artery disease and hypertensive-heart disease. The complaint further intimates, but does not come out and allege, that Floyd may have had “intoxicants” in his system. The effects of these underlying health conditions and “any potential intoxicants” are said to have “combined” with the physical restraint by three police officers, most prominently Chauvin, to cause Floyd’s death.
As I’ve noted in a column on the homepage, Hennepin County prosecutors have charged Chauvin with third-degree depraved-indifference homicide. Now that the complaint has been released publicly, we see that a lesser offense was also charged: second-degree manslaughter. This homicide charge involves “culpable negligence creating an unreasonable risk” of serious bodily harm, and carries a maximum sentence of ten years’ imprisonment.
This is not murder, based on the facts. The appearances were bad but maybe not so bad after all videos are seen.
Will the anarchist left be satisfied with less than a lynching of the cop ? I doubt it. They want an insurrection and are hoping to provoke Trump into another Kent State. I think he is more savvy than Nixon was under similar pressure.
The riots in Chicago were facilitated by assistance from City Hall. On Second City Cop the cops and commenters were complaining all night about the drawbridges staying down which allowed busloads of brigands to pour into downtown. Police were under-equipped, split up, and spread out where they were sitting ducks for the mob. Swat teams were ordered to stay away until after stores were cleaned out and set ablaze.
Those kindred groups of the forces hell-bent on destroying civilization include elected officials.
“Mr. Floyd appears not to have died from asphyxia or strangulation”
Something contradictory in the news reports: George Floyd was reported to have resisted being put in a squad car because he was “claustrophobic”. And yet when the police found him he was in a car (his car, I think) with a couple other people. Was this a claustrophobia which occurs only when a person is arrested?
“A Riot Primer”
The social phenomenon is well documented, but the books lie on library shelves, dusted off only once a generation or so by mayoral or presidential commissions. We need only look at Atlanta in 1905; East St. Louis in 1917; Charleston, Chicago, Washington, Boston, and Knoxville in 1919; Harlem in 1935; Detroit in 1943; and Harlem to Watts to Washington and nearly everywhere else in 1964-68.
Moral Holiday
In a nutshell: Riots begin when some set of social forces temporarily overwhelms or paralyzes the police, who stand by, their highly visible inaction signaling to the small percentage of teenaged embryonic psychopaths and hardened young adults that a moral holiday is under way.
I think this is part of what we are seeing. The rest is what Andy Ngo sees.
He was beaten by ANTIFA terrorists in Portland last year. He knows too much.
Roger Kimball does too.
In a magnificent monologue on his television show, Tucker Carlson peeled back the headlines to expose the festering reality that has brought us to this pass.
“The ideologues will tell you,” he noted, “that the problem is race relations, or capitalism, or police brutality, or global warming. But only on the surface. The real cause is deeper than that and it’s far darker. What you’re watching is the ancient battle between those who have a stake in society, and would like to preserve it, and those who don’t, and seek to destroy it.” That’s exactly right.
Writing in the dark days of 1939, Evelyn Waugh noted that “barbarism is never finally defeated; given propitious circumstances, men and women who seem quite orderly will commit every conceivable atrocity.”
Three women were involved in the Molotov cocktail incidents in New York.
“The cause is hatred. Hatred of America, first of all, but ultimately hatred of civilized order itself.” That assumes that America is civilized and is really the crux of t6he matter. It is not really.
These people have no health care, no prospects and are oppressed by the police on a regular basis. They are the people the cops are protecting you from, and there are more of them than you now. The making of America into what it is now, was done to enrich the rich. This oppresses the poor. They are rioting now and will probably do it for a while as conditions are approaching intolerable. The rest of us at least give them health care, you are too cheap for that even. ;)
PenGun, as usual has no idea about what he is spouting. Go away, troll.
>These people have no health care, no prospects and are oppressed by the police on a regular basis.<
Hi "Tiny Duck"
Two possible futures.
Anarchy or the positive future.
“These people have no health care, no prospects and are oppressed by the police on a regular basis.”
Not sure how this explains two lawyers being arrested with regards to the molotov cocktail incident on an NYPD cruiser:

Consider PenGun to be the front page of the NY Times and therefore to be ignored.
Maybe, I don’t know, but maybe the situation in the twin cities WRT the police force is terrible and maybe there is some justification for juvenile barbarism. The violence in other cities is far removed from any justification in Minnesota. If I were a citizen in any of those other cities I’d be disappointed in the cops for not standing their ground when (for example, a squad car is overturned and burning) and there is not several people under arrest or at least one body on the ground. I’m liberal but I don’t want to live in Zimbabwe. Take “your” protest to the ballot box.
A pretty good theory about what is going on.
At its core, BLM is a revolutionary Marxist ideology. Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, BLM’s founders, are self-identified Marxists who make no secret of their worship of communist terrorists and fugitives, like Assata Shakur. They want the abolishment of law enforcement and capitalism. They want regime change and the end of the rule of law. Antifa have partnered with them, for now, to help accelerate the break down of society.
“They [B>M] want the abolishment of law enforcement and capitalism.”
If they gained power they *would* have law enforcement, but theirs would be the Cheka, the Gestapo and the SS Einsatzgruppen.
indeed, that would be the case, come nineveh, come tyre, the dark path, that allen drury sketched from the 60s, seems lifted from a future time,
Dr. Kennedy, what do you make of the coroner’s report? Does it sound plausible? It seems to me that even with preexisting conditions, having a knee on your neck for several minutes can’t be good.
Which autopsy report ? They will get what they pay for.
The guy was 6-6 and probably on drugs, we will wait for that one.
Ben Crump is a professional race lawyer. He was the Trayvon Martin lawyer. I can’t remember if he was in the Tawana Brawley case.
He is already warning the family to talk about peace and love so the city doesn’t think about deducting the damage from his lawsuit. n Rodney King got $5 million and wasn’t even injured.
I would not trust a second autopsy.
that was alton and maddox, but he’s the 2.0 model, the treehouse had the grisley details back then,
I’ll put it another way. These are not bad people, its your country that’s crap. ;)
Like those canadian piece keepers in somalia
Justin Trudeau is the personification of PenGun.
Weak and hates anyone stronger,
“This is not murder, based on the facts. The appearances were bad but maybe not so bad after all videos are seen”.
What the officer is being charged with is called “depraved mind” or “depraved heart” murder. In any states, it is considered 2nd Degree, but MN has split it out as 3rd degree:
609.195 MURDER IN THE THIRD DEGREE.
(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.
I think the this a fairly accurate charge, from what we have seen so far. Chauvin Probably had no intent to kill Floyd, but engaged in behavior that was eminently dangerous to Floyd’s life.
A good defense lawyer, and I have known a few, will use that coroner report x 2 to get an acquittal unless the state stacks the jury for a lynching. That is a definite possibility. Watch where the trial is held.
Andrew branca, the leading self defense expert, dissected the autopsy, al shahaab ellison, just made the conviction harder.
46 year old (“middle age”) with comorbidities was going to end up dead in the gutter eventually. That is the way in urban America when you are playing the “Game” and living the “Life”. Having the final “swan song” on video is a new wrinkle. Sort of like the “Hero Posters” hung by the Palestinian Warlords to inspire the troops.
But George got old enough to die from a heart attack but not in prison; no small accomplishment in the “City”.
