Re: Were the Summer Riots political?

We know for a fact that the Capital Insurrection was political and we know that it was conducted by supporters of Donald Trump who was feeding a lie to the American people that the election was stolen.

As far as the capital riot, how was it political? They occurred because a white police officer kneeled on the next of a subdued black man, and he died as a result of this trauma. Sounds like this is a racial issue instead of political as it seems that a connection cannot be made to goals of the riot with that of agenda of any political party. Also, the rioters are seen sporting any political gear or flags like we saw at the insurrection. I'm not aware of the summer rioters attending an political pep rallies right before they started destroying stuff. Can somebody help out Keowi and NCTiger as they have failed so far in making this connection.

In your second paragraph I think you mean summer riots and not Capital riot.

But, I agree there is a more clear connection in the Capital incident with politics. The connection between summer riots and politics is also clear when we take a look at the facts.

The essence of the Floyd accident itself was a policing issue. There was never any evidence or proof put forward by the prosecution showing the cop was racially motivated to choke the black drug addict and kill him. The MN AG said "We don't have any evidence that Derek Chauvin factored in George Floyd's race as he did what he did."

The cop was out of bounds and has paid the price.

This is where it turns into a political issue - when you and the rest of the left say "Sounds like this is a racial issue."

If you have not noticed, if anyone does not agree with the left and the democrats they are racist. Racism is the cry of the democrats. Surely I don't have to post 1000 links to "prove" racism is the attack du jour used by the left. Trump was never racist until he was a republican. Biden has a racist resume 100x stronger than Trump's, but democrats can't be racist. You get that, right?

So the mob on the left began the war on police following the Floyd accident, literally and figuratively. Marching Antifa and BLM members called for death to cops, and they got what they called for. Google how many cops were killed by ambush over the past two years and look at who committed the crime. Google how many times democrat leaders have said the nation has an epidemic of white cops killing black people.

Republicans have always been pro-police and pro law-and-order. Democrats, especially now, are soft on crime and can be argued to be pro-crime in some areas. Yep, I said it "pro crime." I honestly believe that is a legit characterization when you have DAs announcing all the crimes for which they will stop prosecuting people.

The summer riots were all about BLM (a pure democratic political organization) and Antifa (a should-be terrorist organization) inciting mobs to destroy public and private property in the name of various ideas a main one of which was to defund police. Democrats condoned the riots if not celebrated it.

So it should be clear the left used the Floyd accident to stoke division along classic lines and set up an us vs. them theme which has been successful, at least with respect to division.

Law and order (right) vs. hate cops, defund them, kill them (left)
Protect property (right) vs. allow property to be destroyed (left)
Get facts then render judgment (right) vs. make up facts before they are known even if video shows otherwise (left)
Fact (right) vs. emotion (left)
We are for equality (right) vs. You are racists (left)
