A thread on the situation now that I’ve caught up.
First, there is nobody, not a single influential voice that I can find across the political spectrum, that is condoning or defending what happened to #GeorgeFloyd. The officer is in custody. We all agree his murder is horrific.

What is happening across the country has nothing to do with him, though, it was just the current spark. Rioting, looting, burning down stores and churches is evil lawless behavior that must be dealt with swiftly if we are to remain a civilized society.
For the last 5+ years there have been a bunch of voices online warning about what the toxic stew of progressivism, socialism, grievance culture and identity poltics was going to bring forth. Well here it is. The rioters aren’t white supremacists, they’re far left Antifa.
Now, of course, the media will just fan the flames and somehow blame Trump supporters, because calling this what it is would turn the blame on themselves. And any rich celeb offering to pay bail is hoping they will be spared, but they won’t be.
Five years ago is was call everyone a Nazi, then it was punch a Nazi, now it’s burn stores and destroy neighborhoods. I hate to even say what comes after that.
Every American must put aside their petty political differences and stand for civilized society right now. Will you?

Bonus: Maybe this was the only way to break the masses out of the insane overreach of the Corona lockdowns. We can’t have young people wandering streets in masks in the midst of this. Time to end government issued protocols. Business and individuals can make their own decisions.
