    Wow. Defund the police. What could go wrong?

    I'm powerless like everyone else watching this happen. Its gut retching to see people losing what they built and not a cop in sight.

    There is sort of a consolation in that the destruction is being done by leftists in leftist cities with the approval of leftist leaders.

    There is no visible sign of any of this in places I live. No "protests", no rioting and no looting. They are red areas in blue states. If this is the pattern across the country it means that generally blue areas are destroying themselves while red areas are reopening, rehiring and getting a jump on recovery.

    Maybe the federal government should hang back for a little bit and not intervene. The people in those blue areas are getting the government they voted for. Why should the federal government interfere with that? Lets respect the "will of the people" and let those cities and their politics run its natural course.

  3. I wonder if those people are proud of themselves.....I think Liberal Hollywood that speaks with a big mouth and never does anything and often shops there should step up and bail all those businesses out who got looted haha.

  4. Heh, in that second video they go by a Nordstrom's and the video guy says "there's two or three sets of protesters." Nothing like a Nordstrom's to make the heart swell with memories of George Floyd. Protesters, my arse.

  5. Oh, Hollywood has already stepped up bigtime to bail people out.

    But it is not the business owners.

    Andrew Cuomo Complains That Looters Are Getting Out Of Jail — His Bail Reform Opened The Door
    https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/05/andrew-cuomo-complains-looters-out-jail-bail-reform/

    Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is pushing for looters to be charged with bail-eligible crimes — after his sweeping bail reforms made that all but impossible.

    New York’s bail reforms, which took effect January 1 of this year, removed the option of cash bail for a number of misdemeanors and non-violent felonies — which included stealing from stores or looting, which is classified as “burglary in the third degree.”
