Cant watch this much longer without waitng for anyone, someone, mentioning what is happening in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, NY, LA, SF, Washington, etc.
80 something straight nights of violence and mostly violent protests in Portland. Molitail cocktails, bricks, frozen water bottles, bats, rocks, fireworks, lazers in eyes, etc... with no end in site. Setting precincts on fire with police inside. Holly shit the beating that one guy got tonight. Has to have brain damage. Google it. Sickening. Still waiting for the Mayor and Governor to put a stop to this. Let alone even denounce it. Anyone denounce this violence during convention tonight? Can't believe Bernie used the term mostly peaceful protests tonight in his speech. Holly crap! Please go to the front line in person and join the peacful protests. Money has it he would get his head bashed in. Much easier to be oblivious 1000s of miles away and continue to feed the MSM with...mostly peaceful. If i had a $1 for every time someone said mostly peaceful, I'd have a alot of. Money to hand to the families of the innocent people killed during these "mostly peaceful " protests. David Dorn, Italia Kelly, ..to name a few.
Perfect platform to spread a message of peace. Swing and miss.
Seattle handed their streets over to the antifa terrororists a long time ago. Maybe they saved their city from burning by simply giving in to these terrorists. If you don't agree with or hold the same views you will be open to violence or harm. The rioting is intensifying in Seattle as the hour ticks, so maybe Seattle has a tuff road ahead and they may not be spared.
Minneapolis has close to 700 buildings and businesse damaged, burned or destroyed. I assume More mostly peaceful protests again, that did the damage. Jeez.
What a shame, as many or most of those businesses will head out of that city and not return. That area will be like that for a long time. Many if these businesses destroyed were minority or immigrant owned. A Pakastanian immigrant had his business and building destroyed and was standing in front of a sunk in hole of piled bricks and debris. Said the city put up a fence around the property and sent him a bill for the fence. A black couple just opened their dream business, sports bar,...destroyed.
Sad. Those burned out businesses are being asked to pay forward the rest of their rents/ taxes for 2020 before rebuilding. Bye, bye.
Anyone tonight at the convention apallaed or disgusted?
Chicago has seen murder almost double from 2019 and we are only in August. Lori Lightfoot is clearly the worst mayor in the United States. Tho Bill Deblasio is giving her the ride for her money. Both of whom are stealing paychecks. What a perfect audience for Lightfoot to ask for peace. How many black lives will be taken, black kids killed, innocent bystanders killed before anyone in that city makes a stand. Turns it around. They don't seem to care about these people. People talk about not being able to walk in their neighborhoods, being home before nightfall, staying off stoops and away from windows. Assasinations. Sickening.
People are leaving NYC. The blundering duo of Deblasio and Cuomo have taken the greatest city to its knees. Deblasio is just oblivious, was so, long before the clock struck 2020. His not putting a stop to the water buckets humiliation in 2018-19, emboldened the crimunal element. Saw a video of a 6-7 year old handed a bucket of water to throw on a cup. No bail that took effect before the virus took hold, then realeasing criminals from jails when covid hit was a double whammy for this city.
Cuomos not using the 1000 bed Navy hospital ship was mind boggling, as i think less than 200 were treated there. The Javits center had 2500 beds set up by the US army. Less than 1000 patients were treated with more empty beds than occupied.
5 of 50 states sent their elderly with the virus back to nursing homes. I believe NY, NJ, PA, MI and Cal. Cuomo sent them back and over 6000 died.
I loved Mario Cuomo, thought he could have been the first Italian president!
His son could be criminally negligent.
Apartment vacancies and commercial vacancies are sky rocketing. People are leaving the city. Last week
Cuomo was begging people to come back. Come back to continue paying high taxes to bail out his mess. Bye, bye.
People are leaving LA and SF as well. Heard California was looking to add a tax to those who move out of state.....a 10 year tax! I would imagine Kamala, Garcetti, Newsome, Pelosi, Waters will all talk during the convention. Anyone of them going to discuss the mess they made of their state?
Bet not.
I hope tomorrow night we will here some words, messages, platform that address what is happening in these cities. How to fix them. How to stop the violence and murder. How to squash the terrorists and make them accountable and or put behind bars.
End appaul and disgust.
Peace.
