Governors and mayors who have allowed their cities to be burned while ordering police to stand down should resign. They are gutless cowards who aren’t protesting their citizens.
Ignoring these looters does nothing. Allowing them to burn your city does nothing. Stop them. Send in guardsmen and push back. You’re cowards and in most cases democratic leaders. Are you doing this for votes? Criminals don’t vote.they did not fail, because they did what their country asked of them....

I think its just another way to further destroy the economy and to thwart that hope people had about reopening. They also will blame Trump for this even though the Democrats did everything but help the mobs organize. Soros should be executed for his role.

It still goes back to the Minneapolis Mayor enacting a curfew that he had absolutely zero intentions of enforcing. When that police precinct building was allowed to be destroyed that have these thugs the feeling that they could do whatever the hell they wanted. Antifa being designated a terror network is a good start but Trump waited too damn long to do it. Soros needs to be arrested as a domestic terrorist and never let out. When you have these anarchist chanting, "Hey George Soros wheres our money" says it all.

How well did it work in 1968? Those cities still haven't recovered.
You know good and well what will happen if they use that kind of force.
I don't believe it has anything to do with guts. That kind of guts is of no service to the situation and only results in needless death.
I would venture to say that since North side of St. Louis has never recovered, the entire city would be engulfed and the same blight would engulf the South Side as further racial divisions would precipitate even more white flight.
Detroit would be right around the corner.
St. Louis is slowly on the mend, has some things going for it. But it's a fragile balance.
All of these hard nose approaches simply don't work. The death penalty doesn't stop murders. Riot police cracking skulls doesn't stop rioting...or else it sends people back home with simmering tensions with deadly skirmishes that have no end in sight.
All of this has been tried...
What we need are leaders who would support those on the front lines of this issue at the local level. We need leaders that stay off their Tweetbox -- and stop using language that triggers such as THUGS.
Having guts to speak the truth.....having guts to listen to a truth that's inconvenient while remaining respectful. Having guts to meet people one on one and do the hard work of bridging age old divides.....now that takes guts.
When you ban books before you ban guns, you've admitted that you're more afraid of children learning than you are of children dying.

The problem is that looters, arsonists and anarchists dont like being called thugs. Damn, who knew all of this was about semantics?? Its funny how the mob was allowed to just fast forward right into phase 5 with Covid. Is calling them Covid deniers overly insensitive??

Supposedly a rift is brewing between BLM and Antifa. It is Antifa not BLM that is having bricks delivered to strategic locations to be thrown at officers and store windows. If those those two groups have it out, im simply going to lean back and watch the festivities and 100% hope that BLM kills off half of the anarchists and takes no casualties while doing it. Wow, what a nightmare that would be for the lefties if BLM and Antifa went at it.
