Meanwhile in NYC...

Tweet thread has some clips of looting and a bonfire in soho if you scroll down.

Scary scene indeed. Imagine the terror of being a protester and not being able to so much as shove a cop or throw a water bottle at them without them totally flipping out and overreacting.

So, who had "Riots in the Streets" on their 2020 Bingo Card?

@George-K LOL...add it to the yearly list! I wonder what July will bring. Maybe we'll see fireworks (literal and figurative).

One possibility is that the multiple horrors of these riots is that they won’t happen again closer to the election. If past is prologue this will be a distant memory. On the other hand this could be our “arab spring”.

[Larry]

It's past time to start killing these bastards.

[LuFins Dad]

Yes, let’s use disproportionate police violence to end these riots that were started because of disproportionate police violence.

[Larry]

It's past time to thin the herd. I don't care if the police do it, or if Henry Hardware Store does it.

No kidding. Obesity rates are at an all time high.

[Copper]

We don't have riots here.

Maybe it's because we don't have many people, or maybe because so many carry guns.

Well, that's what people wanted...

[Larry]

Shoot to kill.

[Rainman]

For some reason, when a video is part of a tweet, I get an error "the media could not be played." Ax, what did you do to me??

My question is, if there is this "white privilege" thing, then shouldn't the white looters go through the broken windows first, then Hispanics, then African Americans, then Black Americans? Why is this hierarchy overlooked when it is supposedly firmly entrenched?

[Jeffrey]

Wow. Very sad. To think of what might have been.

[89th]

They should bring back those really large nets you see in cartoons. Could catch 10 antifas at once!

[Jolly]

Didn't the NYC cops under Rudy arrest 700 protesters at one time?
