Only at the end of this NYT story do they suggest these events were coordinated by social media, more media, however, are looking that way. “Youths” or “juveniles” are the perpetrators in general,and in many cases either calls to police of “shots fired” or fireworks were set to give that impression. Overall it appears to be classic efforts to provoke the police. Many people were injured across the country, and it’s miraculous no one was killed.
Why would this be arranged? Perhaps the organizers of this were hoping the police would end up shooting someone, allowing for so-called demonstrations (aka riots) with the profile of Black Lives Matter and other Democrat affiliated groups rising in the midst of chaos just prior to Trump’s inauguration.
While there were injuries amongst the perps, the police in every case seem to have handled the provocations very well. Now we need to determine who arranged this. If it can be proven that there was a central organizing dynamic impacting business across state lines I’m not sure how this wouldn’t be considered a RICO action.
One thing I do know: with an Attorney General like Jeff Sessions, we can at least begin to trust that the rule of law will be applied in all cases, including something like this. I have a feeling Loretta Lynch isn’t interested in dealing with this, so I’m hoping Senator Sessions’ people can somehow be on top of it during the transition.
This is what today’s Democrats do, and they will keep doing it for the nesxt 8 years if we allow them to get away with it. And now with their Community Organizer in Chief backon the street on January 21, 2017, we’ll see how far the left is willing to go to continue damaging this country.
