To quote Joe Biden, "c'mon man!"

First, the majority of the looting in Chgo this last time took place in the high end retail areas & the "good" neighborhoods. It was wide spread, from the south side to the north side, but the video you see is downtown Chgo where the major destruction was. There were threats today that would spread to the south suburbs - but God and a killer storm put the kibatz on that.

The catalyst was an incident that happened in Englewood.

With that being said, the majority of the people in Englewood are good people who WANT police presence. They don't want the police defunded - they want MORE police presence.

The rioters & looters are a small but vocal (and criminal) member of the Chgo community.

And this was after Lightfoot said all she has to say to Trump begins with “F” and ends with “U?” Remember that?

You have your vote, so you can use it for Mr. "not my problem".

The problem with a lot of people is they look for a top down solution, rather than looking inside themselves first. Instead of making different decisions in their own life, they keep making the same poor decisions that landed them in the situation they are now stuck in and then want to blame someone else.

Cool beans. Tell them to look inside themselves, and wait for the problem to sort itself out

What's your solution? Other than blame Trump and criticize anyone else who proposes a solution.

This is very sound advice. The wisdom of the ages agrees. Change comes from within.

We can't fix people who don't want to be fixed.

Can you do that?

You seem keen on talking about me, so here is your chance. The floor is yours.

Get honest, and stay that way. That is my advice to you.
You've called rioters protesters, you've insisted that it was calm in Portland until the feds arrived, every time someone talks about destruction in one of the cities you try and dismiss it - no reasonable Democrat I know does these things. They're upset by what's going on. Only far left liberals do what you do. If you're not a far left liberal, stop acting like one.
