From Narscio's link @ 7:11
Another demonstrator, Patricia Rogers, said police had started firing tear gas and smoke bombs after “young kids” broke windows at an Arby’s located near the police precinct and spray painted “fuck the police” inside.
“The tear gas is all over me, my face and eyes. It’s all in my hair,” she said. “I feel like I witnessed a kind of history. I just can’t believe it.”

Comment on AOS:
While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as 'protests'-not riots," NBC host Craig Melvin wrote on Twitter Thursday.
Technically, "protests + consumer product acquisition"

GUS,
I watch the Twitter feed for my local NBC affiliate, and they push the NBC commie line. It's almost like it's a requirement.
I am convinced that Trump saw some minor stuff when he was starring in "The Apprentice" and they are convinced he knows a lot more than he does, and are afraid he will reveal it.
NBC's behavior is like someone who is worried about arrest.

This is what happens when there is no brake by the authorities on violent conduct. Somewhere a cop is going to be shot in revenge for Floyd's death.
The Left's victimization of African Americans is a targeted campaign to rouse the rabble to their flag. What I am afraid of is the backlash.
If these riots and others continue, the rest of the country simply won't give a sh*t anymore about some Chicken Little's saying the sky is falling. Bad all the way around.
We know who the bad actors are: Soros, Sulzberger, Bezos, the media as a whole, and the disgusting offal called Democrats in Congress. It is all of a whole.
Scorched earth tactics eventually lead right back to the sources.

If China is moving artillery up things just got more serious. I wonder if the Indians will call their bluff? India and China are near peers and if the Chinese don't dial back the aggression I don't think India will back down. I do believe India has Gurkhas as well. Don't mess with Gurkhas.
China is about to get stuck in the corner, from what I am seeing.Rissia is now taking next steps in Libya trying to maintain an air presence, but perhaps the Turkish drones and other forces could make it less tenable than Syria. Much farther distance for resupply as well.
Our enemies are, I think, miscalculating. Trump is better than Ali at rope a dope. But with pussies like the former commander of the Roosevelt throughout the military, who knows? We need warfighters if conflict does appear on the horizon.
The Chinese are not emulating Sun Tzu. They are coming on like a kid who just finished wrestling season going up against seasoned pros. They have fought any kind of conflict since 1979 against Vietnam and they lost that one.
Now that Wang has got a taste of big city life, I don't think he's going to react well when his buddies start dying around him. The Little Red Book just doesn't hold the allure anymore and why would he want to fight against the formerly peaceful people's of 20 different countries.

There are two concurrent rivers flowing in the world right now.
Domestically the river is rising and threatening to flood the progs. Before the election the economy will have turned around and the bug will be forgotten. The coup clucks clan is heading for hard times and exposure. And they're running a rutabaga as their nominee. All that leads to desperate actions like these coordinated riots.
Worldwide things seem to be spiraling in crazy directions as Russia somewhat but especially China seem astoundingly reckless.

Twitter Hires French Immigrant Hilareaux L'Clintoneux To Fact-Check Trump's Tweets
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—
Twitter has appointed a new head of fact-checking that will verify all the information the president tweets. In order to make sure the fact-checker was fair and balanced, the social network hired a recent French immigrant with no political bias, Ms. Hilareaux L'Clintoneux.
"We need to, how you say, fact-check zee President, oui?" L'Clintoneux said at a press conference. "Zis president says zings zat are sometimes, how you say, in-acc-ur-ate?"
"Inaccurate," said an assistant.
"Ah, zat's what I thought."
L'Clintoneux immediately fact-checked a tweet Trump sent saying, "I AM THE PRESIDENT!" finding it to be false, as Hillary Clinton actually won the election in 2016 but was robbed.
