Earlier today there was a peaceful protest in my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan as a result of George Floyd’s death. Apparently everything was going well until it got close to the evening. Random unknown people not associated with the protest started fires, destroying public property and vandalizing buildings.

I’m so sick of this..why do people feel like they have the need to ruin something for everyone?! I hate it..I truly do, it just breaks my heart that average citizens in my city now have to pay extra money to fix their buildings when they are financially strapped from the Coronavirus. When will this madness and chaos stop? Violence just causes more violence...shit like this makes me want to drown my misery in liquor. I love my city, and it’s so fucking depressing seeing how far it’s grown in the past ten years getting ransacked and destroyed in one night. How can we fix this? How can we get people to stop being such petty thugs?

The worst thing is I have friends, family and relatives who live in the city and their safety could have been at risk, which makes me scared and worried for them. It would just further demoralize me if anything bad happened to them as a result of tonight’s riot

For one thing, the "peaceful protest" is simply the cover for the looting and rioting. And thats a fact. Agitators need cover. They need meat shields. The 'peaceful protestors' are those meat shields. As Yuri Bezmenov would say 'useful idiots'.

So these protests didnt turn bad in the night. They were planned that way. There was never going to be a peaceful protest.

Second, you can drink yourself stupid to punish yourself for nothing... or you can see what there is to be happy and proud about -- namely that our fellow patriots are NOT taking Soros' bait, we are NOT out adding fuel to the fire by being stupid. Also, Daddy is taking care of it. So it won't go too far. And as far as stuff being destroyed... once you are done grieving it, because it does suck, remember to pick yourself up because you are a part of history right now. History is happening right now, that you will tell your children and grandchildren. We are fighting the commies right before your very eyes. Its sort of mystical. And quite frankly, I am totally underimpressed with their numbers and tactics. Cheer up we aint bein shelled or anything. ww2 was worse.

This was inspiring and you are right about our President. I thought it was genius of him yesterday to take the opportunity to call out Antifa and the mobs in front of so many people watching the launch of Space X. I get down too but all I have to do is remember that our President has our back. He is fighting so many battles at once, all because he loves our nation. I pray for him constantly.

It's going to lead to an extreme right-wing candidate winning the white house that will make Trump look like a pussy
