Neither the race nor the political leanings of the perpetrators have been identified, but I have to assume it is white supremacists who are causing all sorts of mayhem in downtown St. Louis. Biden, various cabinet members, AOC, the FBI, CNN/MSNBC talking heads, and others have told us repeatedly of the dangers these folks pose to the nation. We were warned, and failed to heed the warnings.

Now St. Louis is becoming lawless. It bothers me to think that there are blacks living in downtown STL, trying to listen to classical music, at a low volume, in their nice loft apartments, and they have to endure this nonsense in the neighborhood courtesy of white miscreants. Seriously, we gotta do something.

White supremacists have rights too. They should be allowed to loot and riot just like everyone else.
Fair is fair.

I just spent a week in StL and didn’t see anything that seemed over the top. I heard some loud cars… but that seems fairly common. Street racing is a cheap thrill everywhere until the police step in. I don’t know why you think politics or racial targeting is part of this.

One of the biggest crime cesspools in the country, and reaping what it sows.

When ever I read "White Supremacists" I usually check out because a hot load of dung is coming next.

You people ruined the word racism a long time ago.

Great for you, but unless you are claiming that the article is inaccurate or that the folks being interviewed are lying/exaggerating, then your single anecdote doesn't discount the article. Not to mention that you only address a single issue vs the multiple issues raised:

Quote:
Some residents we talked to said they’re concerned with short-term rentals (STR’s) being illegally rented out. Along with massive parties happening in downtown buildings that aren’t regulated.
Quote:
In a press conference Monday, he said 36 cars were broken into, just downtown, between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Quote:
“A stolen Range Rover gained access to the garage by following another car into the area. The car was later involved in a car accident and recovered the abandoned car on the street,”
No races are mentioned, so your query about how "politics or racial targeting" is a reasonable one. But this isn't just about a few folks "street racing" (and we won't even get into the deaths associated with "cheap thrill" street racing every year).

Americans umbilical to Government is Cable.

The best way to take back control of the crazies in
government is to no longer support those that create controversy.

Look at what's happening to Disney.......people stop watching.
Stocks drop.

Look at what happened to CNN+ shuttered after 1 month of no public interest.

Folks are dropping the cable boxes saying no to the media.

\What's next ....Basketball, Baseball,Football...............

When people get fed up ....they stop err...umm...feeding......

Give us less lies, less half truths..............and bring back truthful reporting.

Mayorkas couldn't name a single "white supremacist" terrorist when questioned by Congress earlier this week.
