The murder of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis by a white police officer who kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, leading to his death, was a horrible and sickening event, outraging people all over the country. 

People of different races, ages, political parties and religions were united in their shock and calls for justice. 

The killing led to protests, calling for justice for Floyd. 

Even though the police offers involved aren’t representative of most white cops, nor white people in general, rioting and looting soon ensued. The governor and mayor tried to paint the rioters as being from out of state but an investigation into the arrests by a news organization showed that 86% of those arrested had a Minnesota address. No matter their address, they are using the killing of Floyd to take advantage of the situation for their own financial and political purposes. 

After being on lockdown since mid-March, 20-somethings have gone to the streets to riot all over the country, going after people and businesses that have nothing to do with what happened to Floyd. They’ve targeted the White House, set cop cars on fire, burned down businesses, desecrated churches, looted jewish stores, vandalized a synagogue, killed security officers and more. 

They riot in the big cities, counting on the mostly democrat controlled places NOT to arrest or confront them. The assume the police will have stand-down orders and they can do what they want. It’s a free pass to go after anyone they want anywhere they want and do anything they want. They pursue lawlessness to supposedly protest against police lawlessness.

These rioters are criminals no better than the ones responsible for Floyd’s death because deaths have resulted from these riots. They are part of the problem. 

They ignore calls for peace from black leaders, politicians and Floyd’s family. 

These rioters, just like the police officers who killed Floyd, are not representative of America and who we are but they get all of the press and they are destroying everything they can in the process. 

They don’t even care if they destroy minority owned businesses because, for a lot of them, this isn’t about Floyd. It’s about their own selfish motives, whatever those may be. 

As of Saturday, they looted and damaged 216 buildings just in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. It’s no small list. Gas stations, Walgreens, Popeyes, Food markets, pawn shops, bars, auto parts stores, a post office, barber shops, T-Mobile, Subway, Arby’s, a sewing store, a spice shop, McDonald’s, tobacco stores, tire stores, Dollar General, a dental office, an affordable Housing project, a police precinct and more. 

The media, over the weekend, tried to lie and tell people that this was happening because of white supremacists which is a joke, totally ignoring Antifa tagging on buildings and their scheduled “protests” online. 

Meanwhile, Antifa and Black Lives Matter have taken their violent movement of the week to London and I’m sure they’ll work on showing up in other countries besides Great Britain. 

Attorney General Bill Barr called out the far left violent radical extremists causing the problems as well as President Trump. 

Liberals, on the other hand, seem to be supporting the chaos that is going on by doing things like celebrity Chrissy Teigen who is spending $200,000 to bail out the rioters. 

That’s because liberals, as usual, are blaming Trump for what is going on instead of the actual people involved in shooting and arson. Lady Gaga doesn’t just call Trump a racist though – she calls “everyday people in America are racist, that’s a fact.” Because she’s met all of us and knows exactly who we are and what we have said and done in our lives. 

Liberals never unite people. They divide people, blame who they want for things and race bait. 

We should be talking about Floyd. We should be peacefully protesting. We should be figuring out how changes can be made and how something can be put in place so that bad police officers can be fired more easily. 

We should not have spent the weekend watching our country burn down because of a bunch of bored, unemployed, spoiled, selfish, violent children who attend these protests like rock concerts, holding out their cell phones to record everything and hoping to score a free TV or Nike shoes.
