THE RIOTS AND RAGE EXPLAINED......make absolute sense to me.
More likely a Clowns In America staged false flag event. Ideal filming of the murder, understandable protests that magically evolve into looting, riots and violence. Almost like Soros bused in ANTIFA and how convenient now everyone wears masks. We all know a couple layers of cloth will stop anything like when someone breaks wind no one will smell it. Several mayors and governors stating many arrested not local.
George Floyd is dead. The unheard are demanding to be heard. I finish this as the curfew is ready to begin, and I’ll leave you with this extended excerpt from King’s speech:
“I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? … It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation’s summers of riots are caused by our nation’s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.”
That was more than 50 years ago. And here we are today.

FIFTY YEARS AGO AND WE HAVE LEARNED NOTHING....BOLDED PIECE IS ALL THERE IS TO SAY
We are supposed to believe to be heard and empathized with, first destroy a car, business or home of the person and they will listen and help you. That is normally thought to be pillaging and dealt with by violence in return. Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
OH MY....your history lessons in jr. hi school have eluded U....WHAT occurred at the original Boston Tea Party? WHAT was the end result of those actions? WHY do we now have a different way of life?

Notice the Open Society label. This is Soros and he should be arrested and hanged for inciting rebellion.
You seriously think that flyer is real? What have you been smoking? Who in their right mind would put up a flyer like that? It's amazing how Soros has become the right wing's bogeyman.
Unheard? That is incorrect. These burning communities have been single party Democrat strongholds for decades. Baltimore, Minneapolis, and other urban areas have been able to keep electing Democrats. Those politicians have heard them for decades, but failed to deliver again and again. Flint's water is still poisoned. Detroit still has high illiteracy.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
