Where are the gutless Republicans?
By Patricia McCarthy
The death of George Floyd on May 25th was horrific, an obvious abuse of power by the Minneapolis police officer and 3 colleagues who made no attempt to come to Floyd’s aid. The next day the rioting began in Minneapolis. It was violent, destructive and murderous. Tragically, the death of this one man at the hands of one particular bad cop became an opportunity for the demolition of the city. Hundreds of small businesses, many of them minority-owned, were destroyed.
Like previous riots, the rioters have set their own communities back decades. The riots spread to New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and elsewhere. There have been protests in nearly every other city in America. Hundreds of millions of dollars in losses due to looting and damage to buildings have been incurred.
The crisis has devolved into more destruction of historical statues; Columbus has been executed over and over again. In nearly all cases, the police have been ordered to let the rioters have their way; they were not allowed to do their job.
Nearly all the rioting took place in cities chronically and badly run by Democrats, public officials who have for years implemented every misguided progressive policy known to man. They are all destined to fail. As Dov Fischer wrote, “Systemic Racism and Bigotry are the Lifeblood of the left.†These riots tell the story.
