Looks like things are about to get much more polite around there.

the vast majority of progressives have never had to make a single sacrifice to believe what they believe and say what they say. It has always in fact been the path of least social resistance and therefore the greatest self-interest. Events like this will shake the tree and some folk will fall out of it.
The only hope the left has is to continue to peddle the idea that all the racism and thus all the rioting is the right's fault. Their true believing base believes that, but I daresay most people don't buy that.

Back in 1968, Chicago had some pretty severe riots. Little Italy is on the near West side of the city right next surrounded on two sides by very distinctively different communities. Many stores and businesses were burned and vandalized. Little Italy's shops and businesses did not suffer the same fate as other businesses. The demarcation line was quite distinct. It was understood that crossing the line would not be acceptable In the early 1970s I lived in a building with the Sicilian organization on the first floor. Never had to worry about anything.

You saw the pictures I posted from D4? The ones with the local gangs setting up barriers to keep people out?
