#4 See CNN, sometimes you get what you ask or (or at least condone).

#5 /\ CNN may have indeed "asked for it." Any publicity is 'good publicity.' CNN attacked by anarchists makes them 'CNN' look centrist and helps migrate the bullshi* to the South.

I would certainly NOT discount the possibility of well funded, leftest sleeper cells existing in major metro areas, awaiting opportunities and instructions. CV-19 crisis is passing. A new kak disturbance is urgently needed by the media, police haters, and Never Trump left.

Everyone knows the Old South is ultimately to blame [sarc].

#6 Trump Derangement Syndrome on absolute steroids. Anything it takes to defeat Trump. Anything. Sickening.

Don't worry, Besoeker, the South will rise again. 😁

#7 Maybe CNN would learn if you play with fire, you can be caught in the backdraft. Nah. Pass the marshmallows.

#8 I would certainly NOT discount the possibility of well funded, leftest sleeper cells existing in major metro areas, awaiting opportunities and instructions.

I was informed yesterday that the Midwest Antifa Facebook page had boasting and videos on it, but when I looked there was nothing of interest.

#9 That building is not a "symbol." It has value to the person who owns it.

Yes, it does. And if they insured it, the insurance company sees it as "risk" while it is insured and "loss" when they pay a claim against that insurance. Then they have this little thing they do called "subrogation," which could be interesting for the city and the rioters both.

tw, I'd defer to Besoeker regarding these folks' m.o. but it seems likely that a sleeper cell could hide easily inside one of the hugely popular vehicles devoted solely to politically correct mayhem.

Jack Dorsey has no problem with the left-wing Twitter channel (?) called "Unicorn Riot" which had 150,000 followers before the riots. Wouldn't be surprised if they have several times that number of followers soon.

#11 "That building is not a 'symbol.' It has value to the person who owns it."

Once upon a time, in America, young people aspiring to careers in practical affairs in fields such as law, government or business were taught the supreme importance to our western civilization of that bedrock idea, inherited from the Romans and enshrined at the center of English common law, of property. John Locke held that the right to property was on a par with those of "life" and "liberty."

As opposed to post-modern bullshit about property as nothing more than a "symbol."

#12 Portland mayor declares state of emergency in response to rioting, looting

#13 Snowflakes don't go to the "vibrant" parts of town and they are going to be quietly pissed that the "vibrant" part of town came and wrecked stuff in their neighborhoods. But they will vote for more of the same anyway.

#14 This IS the Snowflake Generation. They riot because thdy werr invited to and they know there will not only be no consequences - they will in fact be rewarded with massive social credit. They're freedom fighters now - and we are the actual targets.

#15 ^ freedom fighters + social media sensations

#16 That building has value to the folks that work there, who are now unemployed (assuming their job survived the Covid).

#17 ...and just like that a distraction from Blue governors COVID-19 failures and Trumps standing in the polls. Quick another pail of crap to throw against the wall to see if it sticks.

#18 ^Too early, will be forgotten by November.
