I have no idea why Target and Cub are being especially hit.  Cub has a liquor store, and a name thatkinda sounds like that of the store where Floyd allegedly passed a counterfeit $10 or $20 -- I've heard both denominations -- that got this whole thing started.


Reading a list of destroyed businesses earlier today, I also notice a rather high percentage of auto parts stores. Don't know what's up with that.

The only thing I can think of is they are somewhat common in lower middle class areas.  Big glass windows too maybe?

Duh, they needed fuzzy dice and chrome door locks for their donk.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

The rioters are pawns of the agent provocateur US media.

Who tells the media what to push?
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

From one of those twitter links. Allegedly some cop that got separated was protected by some of the protesters.

That is pretty transparent right there. 


Well undercover police from neighboring departments smashing AutoZone windows just were not getting the public's attention shifted so they had to turn up the noise a bit.  Enter Antifa, a progressive sponsored domestic terror organization.

Matt Bracken wrote a similar situation for the riot in the Domestic Enemies (2nd book in the series). Covert members of a paramilitary unit leading crowds and using dumped off loads of bricks and rebar as weapons for the “demonstrating workers”

A former firefighter according to a GoFundMe set up to support him, Balla had spent his entire life savings — decades of work — to launch his sports bar. After he had to deal with the crippling economic downturn, the riots were a gut punch for his business.

...

While the camera crew was still filming Balla’s ransacked bar, looters returned to try to haul his safe away. According to the GoFundMe, Balla’s business has now been completely burned down.

Bastards.

Can't help but think that some metadata analysis would showcase the key individuals who could targeted (by law enforcement for arrest) to put a stop to this BS.

"They"  have burned Uncle Hugo's.

I've officially reached kill them all and let god sort it out territory.  Sorry you're mad,  and it's definitely a legit beef,  but this is beyond the *expletive deleted*ing pale.

*expletive deleted*ing looters.  Most probably illiterate.  Assembling for redress of grievances doesn't cover burning down the entire town.

Looks like things are getting sporty in OKC.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Some local yutes tried to rob a FedEx truck in St Louis. One of them got dragged to death in the wheel well when the driver wisely decided he did not wish to end up like Reginald Denny. Pretty gnarly video.

The same government officials who threw a woman in jail for opening a hair salon, arrested a pastor for leading worship, and accosted a mom pushing her kids on the swings are doing absolutely nothing to stop violent domestic terrorists from torching their cities to the ground.

From one of the tweets:


Yeah, I mentioned in the COVID thread that I guess we're all virus free now. Otherwise, shouldn't all these looters be arrested for breaking the six foot rule? I mean, we got Capone on tax evasion.

Not that this is new, but it is always startling to me how quickly our media and gov officials can change focus and narratives. As you said, only a week ago people were being arrested for cutting hair, and now everyone who burns down a building or beats people half to death seems to have a get out of jail free card because "freedom to protest" or "people need to blow off steam".

A brave security officer that was working for Q13 Fox News protecting their crew during the Justice for George Floyd protest in Seattle was recorded expertly disarming a Antifa rioter who stole an AR-15 from a patrol car.

Bold part interesting on several fronts. From the comments, at least two ARs were acquired by antifa in this way.
