Title: Riots tonight and going forward?
Post by: Ron on April 20, 2021, 05:26:56 PM
No reason to riot or loot.

It will be nationwide celebrating, the scapegoat has been sacrificed.

That's all the reason the usual suspects will need.

I hope EVERY cop calls out with the "Blue Flu" while they seek work elsewhere.

As far as most of the looters and the worse of the rioters are concerned it never was about justice. I'll be shocked if it's peaceful tonight. I hope it is but I'm not holding my breath.

Don't forgot ANITFA, they couldn't care less who George Floyd was.

Quit/resign due to hostile work environment.

Riots will be calmer and less intense tonight as opposed to has the verdict gone the other way, but yes.

That said, the lesson they keep learning is that violence and rioting gets them what they want. And that prosecutors won’t pursue charges (against them, anyway).

So going forward I expect to see more and more rioting to accomplish their political goals.

And IMO fully justified in doing so.  They can do everything according to training and even try to be nice to suspects and yet still thrown to the wolves.

I've seen no reports of Burning Looting Murder last night.

Any riots I missed?

It wouldn't surprise me if there was and there is a media blackout.

The occasional sacrifice of a white devil will bring peace to the land.

Much quieter than I expected. Weather was crappy in many places so that may have had an effect.

In reality, given that GOP supporters believe that rampaging mobs burned and looted major cities — somehow without the people actually living in those cities noticing — getting them to see facts about something as abstract as the deficit is a hopeless cause 3/

If it's not NYC, it's a hick town, not a major city.
