Oh boy, that article has another HUGE error. The NBA didn't boycott playoff games in protest of the Jacob Blake shooting. Their boycott was the day after Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people in self-defense.
The NBA players were totally fine playing the day after Jacob Blake got shot.
The NBA was not stopping games in protest of Jacob Blake, but rather in protest of Kyle Rittenhouse. That's why I stopped watching the NBA.
They don't have the numbers. If 20-50 people start getting killed at each riot, they run out of thugs FAST.
Right now, rioters and looters have no skin in the game. They don't fear getting shot by police or individuals defending themselves. They don't fear getting arrested, because the charges are usually dropped by Soros DAs.
The police still outnumber the rioters. They're also better equipped and organized. The tactics of the rioters and looters only work because the police were ordered to stand down, and any individual who defends themselves is prosecuted.
Can you even believe "they voted for this"? It could just be fraud and the people really didn't vote for it. On the other hand, never underestimate people's stupidity.
I'm still shocked Republicans aren't winning these Democrat dumps by running on a law and order platform.
Once they let the national guard and police start using lethal force, it will end fast.
That's the only way I see this ending, changing the use of force guidelines so that police can use live ammunition during rioting and looting.
This is why some people say dictators make better rulers than democracies.
Putin knows he's going to be in charge for as long as he wants, and there's a near certainty his successor will be his family or someone he picked. This means Putin can make plans for the next 20-50 years. Also, it's near-impossible to bribe Putin, since the value of "all of Russia" is worth more than any possible bribe.
In a democracy, politicians have no incentive to plan ahead past the next election. They also can be bribed for a couple million dollars to give out favors worth billions, or even be bribed to ruin their own country.
She's in a safe Democrat district and has enough name recognition that clueless people will vote for her. No point running a Republican in her district. The best hope to get rid of her is to find someone reasonable to run as a Democrat against her in the primary, but even that probably is a wasted effort.
I wouldn't go all-in on riots. Now that the election year is over, the riots don't serve much of a purpose anymore. Look for rioting to heat up again in 2024.
