Riots tonight and going forward?
« on: April 20, 2021, 05:26:56 PM »
No reason to riot or loot.

It will be nationwide celebrating, the scapegoat has been sacrificed.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

That's all the reason the usual suspects will need.

I hope EVERY cop calls out with the "Blue Flu" while they seek work elsewhere.

As far as most of the looters and the worse of the rioters are concerned it never was about justice. I'll be shocked if it's peaceful tonight. I hope it is but I'm not holding my breath.

Don't forgot ANITFA, they couldn't care less who George Floyd was.

Quit/resign due to hostile work environment.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Riots will be calmer and less intense tonight as opposed to has the verdict gone the other way, but yes.

That said, the lesson they keep learning is that violence and rioting gets them what they want. And that prosecutors won’t pursue charges (against them, anyway).

So going forward I expect to see more and more rioting to accomplish their political goals.

And IMO fully justified in doing so.  They can do everything according to training and even try to be nice to suspects and yet still thrown to the wolves.

I've seen no reports of Burning Looting Murder last night.

Any riots I missed?

It wouldn't surprise me if there was and there is a media blackout.

The occasional sacrifice of a white devil will bring peace to the land.

Much quieter than I expected. Weather was crappy in many places so that may have had an effect.

Riots? What riots? I don't see no riots?

If it's not NYC, it's a hick town, not a major city.
