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.
