The riot's don't look spontaneous at all...Instead, they came from Bridgeport, Burleson, Denton, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville, Terrell, The Colony and Wichita Falls – even one from Knoxville, Tenn.

Re: Protests - the next level?
Reports coming in now about pallets or piles of bricks (improvised weapons/projectiles) being staged prior to riots to encourage violence.

Yes they are. They appear to be part of a larger destabilization campaign. Reminds me of Operation AjaxGrayling813 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 7:50 amAntifa and BLM anarchists are organized.Paladin wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 7:29 am Many arrested on riot charges don't live in Dallas

Re: Protests - the next level?
I'm not sure how the rioters coming from different parts of the greater DFW metroplex raises eyebrows. I'm certain most of the peaceful protesters showing up are also coming from far and wide. I just don't see the relevance.Paladin wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 7:29 am Many arrested on riot charges don't live in Dallas

But I agree, the riots are definitely not spontaneous. To make it worse, it is being encouraged by many left wing activists through vocal approvals and bail charity. It is also being glorified by the MSM who, in my opinion, were the ones who fueled the fire to begin with.

Re: Protests - the next level?
I wonder if the peaceful protesters are starting to understand the image problem that many law enforcement officers face. The vast majority of LEOs are good people. But every organization has their bad apples. There is just that super small bunch that tarnish and ruin the reputation of said LEOs. Unfortunately, that's what the nation is focused on right now, while the deeds of the good LEOs are going unnoticed. The protesters are in the exact same boat. The vast majority of them are good people as well. But their voices are being covered up by the bad apple looters and rioters that tarnish the protester's images. The same thing applies. The nation is focused on those bad apples and not the folks who are trying to promote justice for their social group.
I believe I can say the same applies to us gun owners as well.

I believe it happened in Minneapolis. It looks like cell phone video taken by someone who was on the porch.

Re: Protests - the next level?
Another aspect of this doesn't make sense to me. I would imagine that liberal "agitators", who are members of ANTIFA or some other group, tend to live in major cities. And since pretty much every major city is experiencing riots, it wouldn't make sense for them to go to a different city, as opposed to rioting closer to home. Then again, I am constantly amazed at the lack of sense on the part of pretty much everyone, especially liberals.strogg wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 8:48 amI'm not sure how the rioters coming from different parts of the greater DFW metroplex raises eyebrows.

They really believe white supremacists are behind the rioting.

Re: Protests - the next level?
The white supremacist narrative fails on multiple levels. First, those groups love publicity, and I just don't see them getting a huge percentage of their members to participate without anyone displaying a swastika, or something similar. That includes covering up all related tattoos, etc. Second, this would be real next level tactics, since on the surface, these groups would not be opposed to a black man being murdered by anyone.philip964 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 9:16 am https://news.yahoo.com/white-supremacis ... 03406.html

I then consider the possibility that the MSM is looking for a scapegoat to blame that most Americans already oppose. But that would require the MSM to intentionally mislead the American public..... Yeah, my money is on the MSM making this up.
Re: Protests - the next level?
If someone traveled all the way from Knoxville Tennessee to Denton to throw a riot in your neighborhood, would that not be a clue that something is amiss?strogg wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 8:48 amI'm not sure how the rioters coming from different parts of the greater DFW metroplex raises eyebrows.

Hacked Documents: Soros Funded Black Lives Matter
I have personally witnessed an organized busload of BLM protesters, many in their teens with matching t-shirts... spend the night at a Hilton hotel. They didn't strike me as rich people who had the time and money to do all of that on their own dime, but they did look WELL FUNDED.
We have to ask key questions like who funds this, who organizes this, and who benefits?

I work armed security in downtown Ft Worth, it's been all quiet, wonder if Ft Worth P.D. reputation for shooting people has put damper on the rioting in Ft Worth!
