For the record, I have @elderado blocked, so they can't see this unless they logs off. I wonder if tagging them will give them an alert.?
‘I can’t believe I fought to defend you’ Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden says of rioters https://www.rawstory.com/2020/06/sh...virus-infections-in-the-united-states-report/ Robert O’Neill, the U.S. Navy SEAL credited with killing Osama Bin Laden, has come out in opposition to riots following the death of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis police custody on May 25. Demonstrations have spread in the days following Floyd’s death, including increasingly destructive and violent demonstrations. As the demonstrations worsened, O’Neill criticized the movement in a series of tweets. O’Neill said in a May 30 tweet, “Un. Believable. I cannot believe I fought to defend you.” By the time O’Neill posted the tweet, riots had set fire to a Minneapolis Police precinct, looted a nearby target and set fire to an AutoZone auto parts store. “These ‘peaceful’ protesters certainly are violent.” O’Neill said in another tweet.

Distraught Chicago officials heard on tape fuming over looting, riots: 'My ward is a s--t show' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chicago-officials-looting-riots Distraught Chicago officials complained to Mayor Lori Lightfoot -- as looting and rioting in response to George Floyd’s death swept through the Windy City -- pleading for help and warning that the vulnerable had lost access to food and medicine. According to a tape obtained by WTTW News of an online conference call among the city’s 50 aldermen and the mayor, one alderman could be heard weeping while others angrily decried what was going on in the city. “My ward is a s--t show,” one alderman says. “They are shooting at the police.” After the death of Floyd in police custody last month, riots and protests broke out in cities across the country, with many being overwhelmed by the scale of the looting and violence -- even though largely peaceful protests have returned to the streets after that initial surge of unrest. The call in Chicago was held Sunday, May 31. That day alone, there were 699 arrests -- primarily looters -- 132 officers injured, 48 shootings and 17 homicides, according to CBS Chicago, as well as widespread damage to businesses and other property. One alderman asked how seniors and vulnerable populations were supposed to get medicine and food if “every CVS, every Walgreens is shutting down.” “How do businesses recover and why would they want to recover in our community?” another is heard asking. Lightfoot herself recognized what she described as a “massive, massive problem.” Earlier she described rioters as just f-----g lawless right now.” “I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen s--t like this before, not in Chicago,” Lightfoot said. It's a sign of just how shocked and overwhelmed city officials across the country were by the rioting. Many cities imposed curfews in response, which eventually helped reduce the outbreaks of crime. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, on Lightfoot's request, called in the National Guard to help deal with the crisis. On the call, others took aim at Lightfoot herself for her response to the crisis. One man, identified by WTTW News as Ald. Raymond Lopez, demanded that Lightfoot develop a plan to stabilize Chicago’s neighborhoods for five days, calling his Southwest Side ward “a virtual war zone” where armed gang members were threatening to shoot black people. When he demanded she respond to the remarks, Lightfoot told him he was “100 percent full of s--t.” “Well, f--k you then,” Lopez responded. (My note - maybe these politicians need to look at themselves to explain why Chicago is such a shiat-show.)

Bah, so what. Tony tells us we don't need to be concerned about these black lives - those people will be arrested. Lets focus on police brutality, where it will clearly make an impact!
Be careful Lefterrhoids. You are not all that smart. We know that you are still self-stimulating over all the deaths and riots, but those living on the Dem Plantation do not have a fine-tuning knob to dial it back before it gets out of hand and backfires on you. As if you are not there already. Let us know how defunding the police in Chicago works out. oops.did not see gwb's post on this so just let my comments be a little frosting on the cake.

What's the problem? Just give these people some room, little space to act out a bit. Lightfoot is so completely over her head, totally overwhelmed by the enormity of the task at hand that she can do nothing but lash out at everyone. Just another delusional leftist who thinks it's all just going to be okay if we just give the mob a little more loving consideration. In the mean time lets put all focus and resources into the "movement".
