Both the Seattle and Portland (Oregon) mayors have suspended the Rule of Law in their cities. Portland has had more than 55 days of violent and crime-ridden rioting. Seattle is allowing Antifa to own the streets and an “Antifa” candidate is running for mayor there to prove how much worse it can get.

Minneapolis is already rubble with similar troubles in NYC where Communist Mayor Bill de Blasio (mayor or just a tall blithering buffoon?) is trying to recreate Nero’s reign.
And then there is Chicago. I’ve already put up videos of the “peaceful” Black Live Matter protesters who injured scores of cops that were trying to protect public property like the statue of Christoper Columbus. So, how did that go? Well, it was standing when the BLM and Antifa seditionists ran up against a reinforcing phalanx of SWAT members. The Statue stood.
But now?
SHOT: About a Thousand BLM Activists March on Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s House
One of the things that has distinguished the present radical leftists from a lot of the leftists is that they no longer have any limits. Once upon a time it was understood even among folks on the left that it was wrong to go to protest at someone’s home. Not anymore. These radical leftists have made it a part of their cannon to force local politicians to do what they want. We’ve seen that in places like Seattle where they’ve marched on the homes of the mayor and members of the city council…But it’s an intimidation tactic and they tried it last night on Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago.
CHASER: Mayor Lori Lightfoot planning to remove Christopher Columbus statue from Chicago’s Grant Park.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot is planning to remove the controversial statue of Christopher Columbus from Chicago’s Grant Park as soon as Thursday night, in part to avoid another high-profile confrontation between police and protesters like the one that happened last week, sources told the Tribune.
As I asked on Sunday, “I wonder how long it will be before Mayor Lightfoot orders the statue crated and then removed under the onus of ‘public safety concerns,’ the language used by Philadelphia’s mayor to remove his town’s Columbus statue in June.” The answer is: not very long at all.
And she has now done exactly that under the cover of “public safety concerns”.
Yep, the Heckler’s Vote was rammed into her home and came up with sevens. The Mob won (and I’m not talking La Cosa Nostra) and another historical figure has been Cancelled by those seeking to whitewash it.
It has also has angered Americans of Italian heritage (notice I did NOT use the hyphenation) and those of us who just know that this is going to lead to more evil.
Yeah, that BLM – Black Lives Matter is such a “PEACEFUL!” movement!
Sorry, it has turned out to be one of violence, destruction, and intimidation. I wrote about the family here in my hamlet that simply wrote that they didn’t want to see politics shoved in their faces every time they went for a walk – BLM signs plastered all over. I agree with them – we do politics all day long but there are times for it to disappear.
They’ve been hounded out of town because of BLM.
Reader Joan sent this in a similar vein:
I use email only and no social media at all (how happy am I???) which is why I’m writing to you to try to change the narrative on BLM in NH by pointing out that NH ranks #6 in the country for racial equality in schools according to survey by Wallet Hub. Yes, the same Wallet Hub that Nashua mayor Donchess uses (last month) to share that Nashua is one of the best cities in the country. He won’t send this out as it doesn’t fit the narrative. I think it’s cause for celebration!!
Hope you can post it with your delightful, intelligent sarcasm!!! Love it!
Well, I’m trying! And she sent along a couple of links:
2020’s Best States for Racial Equality in Education
…In order to determine which states have the most racial equality in education at a time when protests against racism and inequality are happening all across the U.S., WalletHub compared the 50 states across six key metrics. Our data compares the difference between white and black Americans in areas such as high school and college degrees, test scores and graduation rates. Read on for the results and a full description of our methodology.
New Hampshire is number six so what’s all the hoo-ha all about?
Minnesota (49), New York, (46), Massachusetts (45), Illinois (43), New Jersey (41) – all bastions of Democrat, Progressive Socialist rule (for decades). Full of governors and mayors doing the chest-beating about their virtue-signaling like Biblical Pharisees (would that be “cultural appropriation”??).
Sorry, being number 6 ain’t bad at all – especially in a State that is 97% White. It means that we don’t care WHAT race you are.
So why is BLM causing such divisiveness? At least here, it can be said that BLM protests have been peaceful – thank God for that. But I also appreciate the Culture of NH which is also part of why we aren’t seeing this nonsense of trying to continue to divide one from another.
