Is it not correct that the violent straw that broke the camel's back in Kenosha was the shooting

deaths of two PROTESTORS?

This is not a situation in which Trump is "rescuing" people who have been set upon by murderous BLM mobs. This is a situation in which Trump allies like the white supremacist cretins at InfoWars have successfully incited violence and contributed to the deaths of two protesters.

the same brutality that Trump has goaded on and escalated with his fascistic tactics and un-IDed thugs.

The unrest is not just about Mr. Blake or police brutality. It is about Trump's incompetence in dealing with CV19 that has led to worry and dissatisfaction among people on both ends of the political spectrum.

The left protests the police. The right protests the masks and the black community in their usual racist fashion. Criminals take advantage of the cover provided by the protests. The right screams about Dem cities, concern trolling on dog whistle themes, black on black crime and the like.

The end result was a 17 year old vigilante killing people.

Which the right will applaud with glee.

All can be laid at the feet of the amoral, fascist pig in the WH.

wouldn't surprise me to see a cop murder a black person in every state from now till the election. While the country is burning to the ground, the usual suspects will blame BLM.

powder keg with a darn short fuse for sixty years. After the 1994 Federal Budget passage giving the Police all kinds of Military Hardware and allowing what is called Warrior Training,the fuse on the powder keg was shortened.

This is just one City,scary part,Milwaukee is on the brink.
