Not a riot

[George K]

The Mayor of Minneapolis gets it. It's the fault of white supremacists (and maybe THE RUSSIANS!):

all of American culture's dumbest ideas are are around issues of race. That wasn't a reasoned mind forming those thoughts, it was sheer terror of saying the wrong thing.

Actually, my nephew the cop is friends with a cop in Minnesooota...He said his friend told him there were outside people helping to instigate the rioting and they were using cellphones to organise waves of mayhem.

Wonder who's paying them?...

As usual, follow the money.

Yes, the arrest reports indicate these are not local people rioting, not even Minnesoooootans.

We import our rioters here. We get the professionals. Only the best for us, thank you!

Nope.

From the same article:
"Speaking Saturday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, however, said that sometimes people arrested will provide false information. He says background checks are showing some people arrested have records from other areas."

Interesting that there are any people from other states coming here to be in riots. I don't usually think of that as being a good guest.

I'm more unsettled at this nation-wide rioting than I ever was by Corona virus. I suppose I'm in the minority about that.

These people engaging in nationwide riots are not social distancing.

Go watch some of the videos. More and more of the violence is by whites.

@LuFins-Dad Seattle was almost all white dudes

Wasn't Portland also?

However, in my neighborhood, that's not the case.

I blame all of progressivism's evils on high status white folk who've fetishized their own moral superiority and aren't self-aware about their own pretension of being at the top of the social hierarchy. I place relatively little blame on the human tools they use as fodder in their culture wars.
