The riots began with Obama’s embrace of Occupy Wall Street

[Counselor706]

The chaos currently running amok on America’s streets began with President Barack Obama’s embrace of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the fall of 2011, shared by then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other Democrats.

Obama and the Democrats embraced the fringe Occupy movement and elevated it to the mainstream of American politics. So, too, did the media, which had focused on every perceived flaw — real and imagined— in the Tea Party but covered up hundreds of crimes, many of them serious, committed in the Occupy encampments around the world.

President Trump sided with the Floyd family and called on the FBI and the Department of Justice to investigate. Local prosecutors arrested the officer responsible and charged him with murder.

But the riots erupted anyway, because for nearly a decade, Democrats and the media elevated the radical left and their riots above the non-violent traditions of the civil rights movement. This is a culture war they started.

Um, Obama oversaw a national violent crackdown and media blackout on that movement and you literally cannot find better friends to Wall St. than Obama or Pelosi.

Or did riots begin because of Wall Street??

Just because rioters and looters are bad doesn't make a corrupt system of GROSS inequality good.

A developed brain can hold both things to be true at the same time.

The key point is that Counselor doesn't have a developed brain...

Maybe these current seemingly orchestrated uprisings are tied to Obamaism, but this rioting crap goes back much longer than that.

I'm still pissed that the authorities didn't do more to crush the scum during the 1992 LA riots. Even back then they used kid gloves against this behavior. Now they literally won't do anything to even try to stop it. I think that is more the Obama era legacy not the riots themselves.

Also, a reminder, there is zero evidence the Floyd incident had anything to actually do with race or involved any racial bias. The meedeeuh continues to imply its a given Floyd was targeted or mistreated because of race while there is no evidence of that. The officer is thought by many to simply have been abusive to everyone.

1992 riots, AKA the Rodney King riots.


Almost 30 years later, and not much has changed as far as police brutality towards minorities, or the attitudes of bigots and racists.

And some Americans still ask, “Why is this happening?”.

 

[Lazaran]

Quit pretending you don't know the real reason for riots.

It's GROSS systemic inequality.

How did that Pink Floyd song "Us and Them" go???

"With, without, and who'll deny its what the fightings all about"

Keep denying it as the world burns.

Joel B Pollak apparently crawled out of a bunker in 2011 and did not bother to look up any history prior to that.
