And not the horses they rode in on?
The march down State Street that always precedes the nightly mayhem. Monday, 08-24-2020. The narrator at Allies for Black Lives Matter cannot believe her eyes:
“People are out here eating lunch and enjoying themselves. Fuck your ignorance! Fuck your food.”
They’re boarding up their stores to protect their things. Instead of out here, walking with us, they’re protecting their windows, they’re protecting their merchandise. People are putting up their boards again. Which only gives away they want to protect their shit because they know it was wrong to kill a black man.”

They just need to add a word to their chant. “This is not a riot…..yet.”
Notice how each newspaper story begins, “A group of peaceful protesters gathered at the Capitol square…..” But gosh darn it, by the time a few hours have passed, it turns into a full blown riot! They just can’t figure out how that keeps happening. .

They aren’t “peaceful protests”, they are just riots that haven’t started yet.

‘Rhodes-Conway said… she wants protesters to take a more grassroots approach. She suggested reaching out to state representatives, county supervisors or city alders about legislative changes. Rhodes-Conway also suggested volunteering and taking mentorship opportunities within the community.”
Ha! If she thinks that is going to make them pass up a new pair of Jordans, or some nice gold jewelry just waiting to be looted on State Street, she might be cognitively impaired.

The mayor actually gives good advice. We should be contacting our alders to voice opposition to the Mayor’s “reimagined” law enforcement regardless of whether you think your alder will be receptive to you or not. The mayor and her Council allies such as President Sheri Carter and VP Syed Abbas need to be marginalized and opposed by constituent residents and other alders. Madison residents find out who your alder is and drop him/her regular feedback requests.

In the past couple of years, I’ve heard several parents of young black men, mention the “talk” they all seem to have with their sons. It’s always about being careful with their attitudes, actions and language when in the presence of police, especially white police.
“Don’t resist! Don’t swear! Don’t make any sudden movements! Do exactly what they say, and DO NOT ARGUE YOUR INNOCENCE, RIGHT NOW!! There will be time for that later.”
So how come I never see that? How come the guy in Kenosha walks away (at gunpoint) and then reaches under his car seat? Seems like the perfect way to get shot, to me.

What a discouragement it must be for the new and returning students to see their beloved State Street become a boarded up mess.

“It’s pretty simple that the city of Madison has stolen a lot more than we could ever loot and that’s all that it comes down to,” Andre Russell said. Protesters encouraged others to come out at night because they feel stronger in a large group at that time of day.
Several VIDS posted by Channel 3000 this PM, of folks gathering at the Capitol that were being encouraged/prepped by the BLM speaker for tonight’s “action”. He asked how many are UW students, and saw the hands raised -just about ALL of ’em. He replied, RE: reparations -“WE SHOULDN”T HAVE TO ASK YOU TO GIVE US THINGS”
Nice, real nice. They want “things” but other folk’s property and livelihoods have no value…

Dad29 – Although Blake had minor charges (what is 3rd degree sexual assault?) recently filed against him, he has no prior criminal convictions that I know of. Do you know of any that would lead to your comment? The video of his shooting speaks for itself, but below are the injuries suffered by this man after being shot 7 times in the back by cops who were still not wearing body cams 3 years after they were unanimously recommended by the city commission and endorsed by the police chief and mayor.
“During a press conference on Tuesday, attorney Ben Crump confirmed Blake’s medical status.
‘Medical diagnosis right now is that he is paralyzed and because those bullets severed his spinal cord and shattered some of his vertebrae… it is going to take a miracle for Jacob Blake Jr to ever walk again. He is currently in surgery as we speak still struggling to sustain his life and to hopefully become some resemblance of the man he once was.’
Attorney Patrick Salvi went on to list the injuries that Blake sustained. Salvi said: ‘He had a bullet go through some or all of his spinal cord – at least one bullet. He has holes in his stomach. He had to have nearly his entire colon and small intestines removed. He suffered damage to his kidney and liver, and was also shot in the arm.
And so Jacob has a long road ahead of him, a lot of rehabilitation, you heard he’s in surgery right now and it’s not going to be his last surgery.’ https://www.the-sun.com/news/1368081/jacob-blake-sorry-mom-hospital-kenosha-police/

Third degree sexual assault is Sexual intercourse with a person without consent of that person, or Sexual contact with intentional penile ejaculation with a person without consent of that person. Not exactly minor, in my opinion.

It’s too much to expect Dane County to go for Trump but I am willing to bet after the past few months of criminal violence he will get more votes than he did in 2016 and it looks like despite the pandemics effect on the economy he will win reelection in November.
The violent BLM and Antifa riots — and the Democrats support for them — will be one of the reasons why.
