    It begins the end of our country..protests, riots, burning, killing, looting

    This is the beginning of the end of our country..protests, riots, burning, killing, looting, and total lack of law and order..
    Here is the latest.

    From Portland in the west to Miami in the east, via Michigan, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis and Chicago, Americans took to the streets on Saturday to demand change.

    Protests spark battles across the US: Antifa and Proud Boys brawl in Michigan, cops clash with BLM marchers in Chicago and pro-police demonstrators fire gunshots in Portland as rallies turn violent

    Saturday marked 80th day of unrest across the US since George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25

    In Kalamazoo, Michigan, far-right Proud Boys fought anti-racism protesters at a rally organized by a church

    In Portland, Oregon, two gunshots were fired after pro- and anti-police rallies clashed in the troubled city

    Chicago on Saturday night was tense as BLM protesters squared off with police and skirmished broke out

    Earlier on Saturday supporters of the Confederate flag confronted BLM activists at Stone Mountain, Georgia

    A bit melodramatic don't you think? Every Saturday night in Chicago is tense.

    Just curious.... before Y2K were you among those forecasting calamity? Have you ever belonged to a religious group that claimed Jesus' return was imminent?

        What's interesting to me is your litteny of woes skips over the economic situation entirely. Natural, I suppose, for retirees, but what you miss is that everything comes back to Covid right now one way or another. Do you remember accusing me of saying that the sky was falling back in March as this thing was just getting started?

          It wasn't falling then & it's not falling now, though the media has done its best to MAKE it (and their mortal enemy Trump) fall by ceaseless fear-mongering.

              You haven't seen a Trump political ad have you?

              BLM has got you running under the bed in Trump's America.

                I haven't--which worries me. Ought to be running scenes of the destruction & mayhem non-stop.

                  If you live in a swing state, they are incessant. The fear angle is amusing, if not a bit melodramatic.

                    Well Ray if it makes you feel better, in the past when there was such broad scale protests, history judged that there was something to it. So take satisfaction that it will all add up to something worthwhile in the eyes of tomorrow.

                      Fear? Who's afraid of those miserable sub-human vermin? How I WISH they'd show up in my yard! But unhindered destruction of public monuments--that's something else. Tragically, I can't get away with gut-shooting them in the street as I'd like, so must endure their depredations.

                        You have shown your hand long ago.

                              Not this time. This is just mindless vandalism mostly. I am surprised at myself for saying this, but if anything comes of it,we may get new statues. Styles change.
