Just to make my earlier point hit home here's an article from the New York Times about just that.  The Dems are pandering to the rioters, the BLM and Antifa.  Why?  Because they are part of their base (nice base, LOL).  Backfiring spectacularly.

 

How Chaos in Kenosha Is Already Swaying Some Voters in Wisconsin

 

Mr. Geraghty said he disliked how Mr. Trump talked but said the Democratic Party’s vision for governing seemed limited to attacking him and calling him a racist, a charge being leveled so constantly that it was having the effect of alienating, instead of persuading, people, and the idea that Democrats alone were morally pure on race annoyed him.

“The Democratic agenda to me right now is America is systematically racist and evil and the only people who can fix it are Democrats,” he said. “That’s the vibe I get.”

wonder why biden and the dems have condemned the violence.

If the authorities were serious about stopping this nonsense, the police would have been shooting/arresting white folk running around the streets with rifles.

Or the blacks that are committing  all the crime

ENOUGH already! If you want to live in Libya, Somalia, or Syria then go live there, stop destroying your home, your voices have been heard. Enough is Enough already, you are not doing anything positive or constructive!

You think black guys carrying rifles wouldn't have been shot?

Tired of racists making excuses for white thugs with guns.

Tired of criminals calling everyone racists , well actually I not care if you call me that , but tired of criminals

Any country that allows a 17 year old to walk the streets openly with an assault rifle and the mistaken belief that he is part of a militia, is seriously sick!

Any person that allows a gathering of unmasked, untested people to congregate illegally on the White house lawn is seriously demented.

Any person who supports this moron in power who is causing all this strife, needs to seriously examine their thought processes (if they have any)!

America is in terminal decline and must act now to have any chance of recovering its' former status.

Some people are just so simple

The NewsMax article was purely the opinion of political analysts.  No sentiments from actual Wisconsin residents.  The New York Times article spoke with actual Wisconsinites.  Take your pick.

They came waaaaayyyyyy late for this party.  You did forget to mention that?  Only now as they realize that supporting the violence promoted by their BLM and Antifa base while ignoring to comment on the violence is now imploding on them.  Better late than never but it does indicate that they'll blow whichever way the political wind takes them.

Great to see the law and order president bringing the country under control. Only in the last few days during the NRC did he point out the mess the country is in and he will bring in law and order. He seems to have forgotten that he has been in charge for the last four years. His divisive talk has resulted in bring the country to where it is today. Four more years of lying and vitriol will not reverse the hatred and anger that he has instilled in an active minority that fuels the hatred and anger that we see on the streets of a once great country.

I think it's safe to say that you're not an American.

 

It's their only defense against a tyrannical government.

The dishonesty of using the term racism protests and then showing the picture that follows is astounding. These are not protests.

Let's not fool each other.  We don't live in an ideal world inhabited by perfect human beings.  We live in a world of ideas which we project outward.  It's really ideas against ideas.  Unfortunately people conflate themselves with the ideas they entertain and think they are one and the same.  Not true.  But don't tell anyone.

Seems Kenosha is quiet again. Calling in the National Guard actually works.

I reckon the patience of the silent majority will explode in the US before long if things don't start to calm down, and it's got nothing to do with The Donald.  

 

I hope I'm wrong but could escalate to civil war and there's plenty of weapons and ammo to hand.

Violent riots like this must scare any that hate Trump, as more than anything else, IMO, this sort of insanity is only going to work for Trump's election chances. Seeing riots on tv every night does not help the Dems given their obvious support for BLM.

Portland mayor, today, after over 90 days of continued rioting and violence that’s cost the lives of several people, hundreds of assaults, and massive property damage - also note the galactic ratio on the tweet indicating nobody is buying this <deleted> anymore.

I'd feel pretty angry, but I wouldn't go and burn businesses that had nothing to do with the cops. I wouldn't go out and riot either, and I wouldn't blame every cop for what one did.

Did the cop discharge 7 rounds in the back of am unarmed man at almost point blank range?....if so there is the answer.

He was armed with a knife, had warrants for domestic abuse and sexual assault against the mother of his kids, refused to comply with his arrest, fought the cops on the ground, got tased, escaped and went like he was on a mission to the drivers side floorboard of a car.

Agreed. One of these times they will burn down the business of somebody like John Rambo. They are one step away from picking on the wrong guy who answers with a disproportionate response. This is why they choose where to riot so carefully.

 

For the most part they only prey upon the weak and helpless.
