ABOUT RIOT HYPOCRISY

Videos of rioters pulling down statues and occupying American cities are bewildering. Why are these people allowed to do this? We already know the answer: politics. Urban America is largely run by liberals who have no idea how to stop the anarchists. A shocking amount of lawlessness is taking place where weak politicians are too spineless to stop it.

The justification for this anarchy is that protesters are simply demanding an end to police brutality and systemic racism, proper demands for any society. The mob initially said it would come for the Confederate monuments sprinkled across the country (I’m no fan of Confederate monuments myself ), but their targets have now become distinctly anti-American as they seek to topple statues that represent the best of America. …

This vandalism isn’t an attack on racism, but rather on America itself.

And it is being done by people who believe America and the ideals on which it is built are fundamentally evil and should be destroyed.

Put the shoe on the other foot: Imagine a group of red MAGA hat wearers vandalizing public property. Imagine they took over six blocks of an American city (as has happened in Seattle), including a police precinct, refusing to allow cops to investigate a killing inside their “autonomous zone?”

Every liberal talking head would be apoplectic, demanding a complete and total shutdown of all Trump supporters until we can figure out what the hell is going on here, to borrow a phrase.

Instead, today’s rioters, vandals and criminal(s) continue night after night, probing the boundaries of American culture and Western civilization, wondering what else their mob can destroy with impunity, as the American left looks the other way.
