Blue state governors and mayors love this stuff. This is what they believe helps them win elections. They're utterly useless, and only do more harm than good. Nevertheless, this type of chaos is what they feel keeps them relevant whenever they start blaming racist republican voters, and promise more free stuff to people.

Many cities have mayors that are cop hating dems. Some of those mayors are afraid of using the police to help protect the cities.

The savages were peaceful today, thank God. Now I have helicopters circling overhead for the past half hour looking for curfew violators. About twenty of them ran right through our apartment courtyard, police in hot pursuit! Others were running down the street. They were mostly young and seemed harmless, but one overweight guy with gray hair ran past me and I asked "Aren't you a little old to be doing this?"

I just didn't want my car vandalized. I figure this will end once Floyd is buried. Young people have short attention spans.

Oops! Just heard police bullhorn, "You've made your point. Don't make this difficult. Come down single file."

The cities especially like Chicago, NYC, LA, etc etc, have some strict guns laws. Regular folks cannot protect themselves or their properties.

Coddling the savage thugs. Great move mayor.


And we wonder why Americas have become soft and weak. Snowflake 20-somethings are driving and fueling the protests, and lil' savage thugs are looting, injuring, murdering and destroying property.


The youth of America have lost their collective minds and fortitude. They're immaturity level is that of a toddler, and we endorse that by providing them adult timeout rooms so they can hit stuff to work through their snowflake frustration. Sensitive little addle minds in search of a utopia that doesn't exist.


Make America Great Again!

The residents of these cities need to be aware...if the US military is called in, thats the end of their city for a very long time! Residents DO NOT want the military coming in! NYC would look like dowtown Somalia within a few weeks.

I think that's a bit much. Anyone that has watched the national news knows it already looks like a war zone. We would benefit having military go in and restore peace.

They destroy the businesses that had barely managed to survive the government-mandated shutdowns. They take that hope away from so many.
The Democrats always have a plan B.

Then seal it off. Protect the rest of the country from the people who allow and even support this.

We can even televise it; sort of a Purge/Hunger Games thing.
