Race in America - Riots Explode in Chicago

[jhu72]

… what is striking in so many of these "COPs behaving badly" videos is the absolute clarity, the unmistakable reality, that the individual who is killed, is experiencing some physical, or mental health problem pretty much from the get-go, and the COPs go into their "resisting arrest" mode. In this case the COPs were clearly trying to help, but their training was clearly insufficient.

Yep. I have been saying it for years, we need better training and a different approach. Too many people end up dead, unnecessarily.

It took 72 nights of mayhem but Portland’s mayor apparently has had it with Democratic anarchists.

Last night Antifa attacked two old women.

Great show, Dems. You’ll be well rewarded in November.

Two? Just two? Is that it, Pete?

More people die from the flu than two. Who cares?

… wasn't ANTIFA - was YLF. Yes the police should have cracked down on these guys. It was not BLM and was after the real protestors had all gone home. Been building to this the past couple nights. YLF trying to make themselves relevant.

at least the Elk was spared.

I asked my cousin how was life in Portland...here was her response:

“limited local coverage since it has died down w/feds leaving. (Son) went down early on to take pics. There’s the evening protesters vs night time protesters.... night crew are more vocal and charged up - my observation.”

Pretty much what anyone with common sense could see but I wanted to hear it from a person on the street instead of Bandito.

Your cousin must live in Portland, Maine.
Her Mayor's now calling it arson & attemped murder.
https://www.kptv.com/news/mayor-wheeler ... 21476.html
There were 99 shootings in Portland in July, compared to 35 during the same month last year.
During all of 2019 there were 388 shootings in Portland. This year there have already been 366.

[jhu72]

both things can be (and are) true. The mayor also claims the protests have been largely peaceful and only problematic late after the main body goes home.

She lives in a nice section of town..... how is this inconsistent with what she said?

Old Salt misses his race war.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah!

Well, since you brought it up, enjoy this little sweetie's angelic sound.

Well, the Left has now taken their riots into Portland's suburbs (mind you, Portland is about the easiest place in America to earn a living).

Yesterday they bashed two elderly women in the face.

Last night they brawled in residential neighborhoods and lit fires and smashed car/house windows:

First I was told the protesters were "peaceful", then I was told "the Feds incited the violence"...what's the new excuse, Fanlax Dems?

Anarchy, rioting, looting, and chaos seems like a losing strategy to win the hearts of legal voters...what do I know though.

Also, let's not forget how atrocious New York City is becoming under a Democratic watch:

Boy. You're right. This Trump guy sure has made a mess of things, Pete.

I'm taking your advice. I've had enough of Trump's tenure. I'm voting for someone else in November. Things can't get much worse than how they were in 2020. New leadership is needed.

jhu72 listens to music!? Who'd a thunk it...

She's OK but I prefer artists who write their own stuff:

You don't watch these kind of shows, 72.
My introduction to Janet, quite a few years ago at this point, brought the house down.
Enjoy.

… I am aware of her history. Never watched any of those shows. Found her while doing "stream of consciousness" web surfing and ran across her a few years ago. She seems to now be coming into her own with her own material.

PS: Tara MacLean is pretty good, she could grow on me, but I am currently in my "Irish period"; Celtic Woman and Devlin.

neither cute nor a pixie, but wow, what a voice; and one of my top 10 favorite songs.
