This, as well as the recent PA and Portland violence, smack of white nationalists (esp proud boys) trying to start a civil war, or at least provide fodder for Trump to declare martial law. Of course trying to make it look like antifa.
Not having much success though. Their numbers aren’t large enough to overthrow the government, but hopefully they will be arrested and prosecuted by the new administration for demotic terrorism.
Laughable thing is it's McConnel's fault and Republican's fault- HE is the one that KILLED the $2000 while claiming "rich" people and people who dont need the money will get $2000 checks!
Meanwhile... members of Congress were paid $130k to spend 9 months arguing about whether you deserve $600.
So let's have overpaid govt shills on the payroll spend MONTHS of time and tax money carefully combing through each and every single citizens' "situation" and determine which ones "deserve" the lousy $600 or $2,000 and which ones DON'T!
We throw away over $700 BILLION a year on the military and war, $20 billion in farm subsidy welfare checks paying farmers to NOT grow crops, and another $50 billion on foreign aid, while McConnel said the $2,000 checks would cost $462 billion!
$462 billion to give EVERYONE in this country making under $75,000 a year- a $2000 check, and they are griping that some small percentage of that might go to people who they claim "dont need it" the cutoff is $75,000 annual income, that's hardly "rich"

Many conservatives opposed increasing just-approved $600 checks to $2,000, saying it would add an estimated $462 billion to the national debt
Whether someone "needs" the check or not doesnt matter, the program is to STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, people who get those checks will SPEND the money, that means they are paying past due bills, buying clothes and supplies etc (AND paying sales tax on that stuff which returns about 8% of the money) and their purchases keep stores and businesses in operation who in turn pay taxes on those sales- and that money goes back to the govt.

Evidence of this??? Or are you just proposing an explanation that fits your preferred narrative and worldview??? After 4 years of hate hoaxes from the left, I find your explanation hard to believe. Anyways, I would rather wait for the details to emerge before drawing any conclusions.
....Anyways, will CNN refer to this one as a "peaceful protest"?
Peaceful protests occur in the public sphere, not at people's personal homes. This is not too different from burning a cross on someone's front yard -- terrorism.

Proud boys have the motive. Antifa does not. Trump has been riling up every crazy group with his election denial stuff, floating Marshall law, these folks are simply following his deadly lead.
