Rioting Democrat Cities: Chaos, or Coordinated Mayhem?
Barry Shaw
June 5, 2020

What we just witnessed in the pandemic of riots, mainly based in Democrat states and cities, is the future of the Democrat Party. ...

It was hardly an accident that in every city the pattern was the same. Growing crowds looking for action, government stand down, total destruction unchallenged.

When this repeated itself city after city, day after day, you didn’t have to be a detective to see organized intent.

This was a symbiotic course of action loosely choreographed between local government, radical organizations, and the media, each with their intertwining ultimate goal. A hybrid desire for continued mayhem and economic distress to sway an angry public ahead of a vital upcoming election. The timing couldn’t have been better coming as it did at the tail end of a harmful virus lockdown. ...

Is it any wonder that mayors and governors ordered their police forces to stand down and let the rioters rampage through their commercial districts? It was an unwritten, unspoken, cooperative venture with the hard left activist wings of the Democrat Party.

The Democrats have replaced law and order with no law and disorder. And it seems to be working for them. ...

The revolution is here. Make no mistake. Corporations are funding much of the violence by making million dollar contributions to BLM. Police departments and city administrations across the country are joining antifa’s insurrection.

Suit up. We’re in for a long hard slog.

This will hasten the flight of businesses away from the cities.

This will hasten the flight of businesses away from the cities.

Business represents what's left of capitalism and a free market. As the author says:

Intelligent people would call it robbery, arson and vandalism, but the looters see if differently. They hate capitalism. They hate people who use their imagination, their money, and the ability to use their talents and hard work to try and build up small businesses, eventually in some cases becoming big businesses, that employ people.  ...

What we saw on the streets of Democrat cities was a microcosm of Democrat big government. Take it from those that do and give it for free to those that don’t.  ...

Not only the flight of businesses, but the flight of citizens and workers.  New York is already under a lockdown; let's throw in the social distancing scam and you won't have anyone willing to work in NYC.  Juist think.... stay 6feet from the nearest human being on a bus or subway and you will be cutting riders of public transportation.  And deBlasio has what he wants.  And deserves.

It's a little of each. Definitely organized, but once providing the spark the feral population piles on.

You are correct - as I have been telling people for days now, this is an insurrection.

For its part, BLM is also in fact being funded by several corporations, as well as by the Alliance for Global Justice and the Open Society Foundations (both creatures of George Soros). But other notable funders of BLM include the Ben & Jerry Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Tides Foundation.

Now, that is bad enough - organizations claiming to be charities funding looting, rioting and vandalism.  But I believe the truth to be far, far worse than even that, because BLM and Antifa are receiving support directly from a source that most people cannot even fathom. Hint: it's not from outside the United States.

Thanks for fleshing that out. It. Is. Shocking.

Just a thought. Obama is getting his fundamental change after all—minus the hope for a peaceful, prosperous future.

The RL doesn't give a tinker's damn about a peaceful, prosperous America.  Quite the contrary, in fact.

Excellent, eye opening essay.

I'll take "coordinated mayhem" for 200lbs of bricks, Alex...

We're in the middle of a revolution.  People need to wake up before it's too late.
