Excusing destruction and expecting us to pay?

Our country is being rocked by racial riots that have hijacked peaceful protests and our cities are in flames. We see local politicians and even governors encouraging violence, excusing it, and refusing to allow local law enforcement to keep the peace - both to protect the rights of the peaceful protestors by day, and the rights of property owners and other citizens by night.

 

What could explain this seemingly crazy action? While it seems on the surface to some that the mayors and governors simply want to commiserate with the protestors, to others, seeing violent felons released from prison and law enforcement standing down while arson, looting and property damage occurs in front of them -and in front of our eyes, this cannot be the explanation. After all, ALL American citizens have the right to peaceably assemble, but if it becomes violent or theft and property damage occurs, it's no longer peaceful.

 

Americans watch while we are told that there is minimal destruction and the protests are "largely peaceful" and told to ignore the "handful" of ANTIFA terrorists and the rampant destruction they are causing, and, if we do not, we are bad people. Americans can easily see the many examples of that destruction on videos taken at the scenes and see that what we are being told is not true by the media. We can see with our own eyes and tell when we are being taken for a ride. What there is to see is appalling - and the American people are being gaslighted.

With so many businesses on the brink due to economic shut-down from Covid, and many more closed permanently, how can local officials sanction the destruction of their own cities? The short-term political boost may be appealing, but it is ill-considered and comes with long-term negative consequences for their cities and states. In areas that have experienced riots, the economy takes decades to recover, and some still have never regained the position they had before, such as Los Angeles in 1992 after the officers were acquitted of using excessive force against Rodney King. It took over ten years to return to marginal level of activity there.

 

Who do these mayors think will pay for all the rebuilding after ANTIFA is done destroying? Will they look to the federal government for bailouts?

 

What do they think will happen when those businesses that are now permanently closed and will no longer provide a tax base? Perhaps they will just raise taxes on their citizens more to cover the costs. How will residents feel about that considering many have been out of work for almost two months and now, with businesses destroyed and some never re-opneing, they will have to fork over even more of their paycheck to cover the destruction these mayors not only allowed but encouraged?

 

It is unclear whether these politicians have thought through these decisions carefully, but citizens are taking note and can see the writing on the wall. People who work hard, do the best they can for their families are already facing very hard times, and the prospect of higher taxes to pay for political follies is not appealing. The majority of Americans are good and decent people who value fairness and equality for all, whether they participate in protests or not, but forcing them to pay for bad decisions of politicians is too much. Forcing citizens to pay for the fury of the mob and cowardice of politicians is something that will be remembered at the ballot box by many this November.

Yes. And the rest of the public needs to read this to know that WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

That very well could be - the questions are rhetorical for us, this piece is meant to be shared out there for people to ask themselves to see that others are asking these questions, too.

There is a part 2 (due to character limit) - makes sense, I think.
