They started with Ted Wheeler in Portland. Which came as a shocker to Ted. He gave them everything they wanted so he expected to be treated like one of the good guys. Doesn't work that way with mobs and anarchists.
Typical liberal response, no condemnation of lawlessness. People now understand the spineless DNC approach when it comes to dealing with it’s radical constituents, and understand who actually controls the party. They understand and are abandoning the left in droves, the beatdown the DNC will take in the elections will be historic.
Yeah... let's have mobs threaten politicians across the U.S. with violence until they enact the policies they demand. (I hope you understand sarcasm). Having mobs threaten politicians undermines the basic principles of democracy. If you don't like their policies then vote them out -- threatening them with violence is inappropriate.
Mob of 700 protesters in Oakland torched a courthouse, smashed shop windows and hurled bottles at police A mob of 700 'violent protesters' descended on Oakland, California, last night Police said they set numerous fires, broke windows and vandalized businesses Protesters threw objects at the police but none were injured in the incidents https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ashed-shop-windows-hurled-bottles-police.html
Many of the rioters seen in videos previous nights were picked up in unmarked police vans -- this also helped keep the violence to a minimum. Relieved after night of peaceful demonstrations, Kenosha police point to drop in out-of-town protesters “Hopefully we’re over that hump of what we have to face,” Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said Thursday. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2...ke-jesse-jackson-protests-looting-rittenhouse Police in Kenosha said protests Wednesday evening were peaceful, a welcome change they attributed to a decrease in out-of-town demonstrators. “I think that the people who were here last night were Kenosha’s people,” Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said at a news conference held Thursday at which they offered prepared remarks and took no questions. “We didn’t see streams of cars coming in from out of Kenosha County. A huge part of me thinks that a lot of our issues start when different people with different agendas come here to Kenosha,” he said, noting a marked decrease in number of protesters in the streets, drawn to the area by Sunday’s shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by Kenosha police. “Hopefully we’re over that hump of what we have to face” he said. “We know that there are still people out there, instigators, that are trying to cause trouble and fire things up.” (More at above url)
Having politicians give a pass to criminals because of their status (impeachment for crimes) while wafting at minorities getting gunned down by police, execution style, is making your bed and laying in it.
There are a lot of Americans who view mayors who allow rioters to loot and burn their cities as America's greatest problem. Would it be OK if pro-police supporters showed up as a mob and assaulted these politicians until they changed their anti-police policies? The issue regarding assaulting politicians cuts both ways. The bottom line is allowing mobs to attack politicians undermines democracy.
POTUS undermines democracy. Not impeaching him on clear cut crimes undermines democracy. Remaining silent or worse complicit in disenfranchisement undermines democracy.
