Riot in Portland on anniversary of George Floyd's murder. But you guessed that
2021-05-27
[NYPOST] Militant protesters marked the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder with yet another riot in Portland, Oregon — smashing up local businesses and trying to burn down the city’s Justice Center, according to police.

More than 200 rioters — most fully clad in black and many wearing gas masks — trashed the troubled City of Roses soon after a peaceful march ended late Tuesday, according to the Portland Police Bureau (PPB).

Some of the mob tried to torch the Multnomah County Justice Center by pushing flaming dumpsters against the building as at least two people tried to pry open the doors and get inside, the force said.

"People chanted to burn the building down," the force said, noting how many used umbrellas to hide their illegal activities.

#12  This is why we are moving toward disunion, dissolution, civil war even.

To one party in this conflict, George Floyd is the salt of the earth. A martyr to Racism. A indisputable victim of Police Brutality.

To the other side, Floyd is a predatory criminal, a monster, a poster child for the dysfunction and squalor of the urban black underclass.

These two constructions of reality are incompatible.

These propositions cancel each other. One and only one of them can be true. They are mutually exclusive.

There is no gray area. There is no "Missouri Compromise" of 2020 2921.

America needs to choose. Which is it, fellow Americans?

Is George Floyd "St. George," a martyr and a holy saint in the divine struggle against diabolical Racism?

Or is/was George Floyd a despicable excuse for humanity and a symbol of all that's wrong with the urban black underclass?

Choose, America.

Click's ticking. Civil war's looming.

#11  Well, Skunky nails it: this has been a colossal mind-Fawkes.

The scumbag violent felon, we're told, was a saint.

The cretin with a heart ailment who courted death with a febranyl-meth cocktail, we're told, was an innocent victim.

The berserker who actively resisted arrested -- even though he had a severe heart condition and 64% blocked arteries -- we are told, was a victim of "police brutality."

The suicidal maniac who otherwise would have strode into traffic on the busiest street in the precinct, we are told, was cruelly deprived of his rights.

The useless piece of shit who ruined his own family and nearly destroyed a pregnant mother's family, including her unborn child -- we're told -- was Humanity's Hope, a beacon of light for the world.

F--k these assholes.

To hell with you and your lies.

To hell with your satanic monster. The world is a better place for his having expelled himself from it.

F-CK OFF

I can see this becoming an annual celebration, like Cinco de Mayo, or whatever day it was that guy tried to blow up Parliment. Dear Friends, join us today as we get really, really high and set the ceremonial Dumpster of our Lives on fire.

#6  If you're building a god a la Gorky,
Its face must, today, be burnt-corky;
Its credo, sans facts,
Consist solely of tracts
Of charred shrines for the Arma Georgii.

#5  Yo! Up in the sky! It's an orgy
Of riots to fete that poor Porgy
Who fights to save US
From the righteous, the just,
And high trust white supremacy: Georgie!

Dunno. "Press, you is my woman now?" My mojo's makin' like FloJo... root won't shoot... verses need hearses...

#4  I come here to preach, not to praise
The cat that created this craze:
When preyin' by rote
Starts to stick in your throat,
Get religion... or pray to St. Blaise.

#1  No finer way to honor St George, is there?

Shove some fentanyl up your bum, take some meth, and go on a crime spree.

Think of it as like those Spanish Holy Week processions in which Los Penitentes flagellate themselves -- except the violence is directed outward.

Now do you understand the Church of the Holy Grift that is BLM?
