We must not let the right-wing radical kooks redirect the narrative from the FACTS: the FACTS that most of the violence and rioting is being incited by white supremacists, NOT #BlackLivesMatter protesters.
Going back even before the whole George Floyd thing, FBI Director Christopher Wray, a TRUMP APPOINTEE, warned last year that white supremacists are fueling most domestic terrorism.
In the current unrest, there are many videos of white supremacists throwing bricks and inciting violence while blaming peaceful protesters for their outside agitation, and a WHITE SUPREMACIST group, Identity Evropa, POSING AS ANTIFA calling for violence. This is pure gaslighting — or tear gaslighting — violent outside agitators trying to make people think the good guys are the bad guys.
Mike Pence portrays himself as this calm, measured straight arrow, but he is also one of the worst gaslighters. He had a lot of NERVE to try to blame the shooting death of a Black police officer on #BlackLivesMatter in his RNC speech. The actual murderer, who has been identified and arrested, is from the WHITE SUPREMACIST BOOGALOO BOIS. He was NOT a #BlackLivesMatter protester; he was a Trumper.
Storefronts = the money needed to keep a neighborhood going = if they get destroyed, the neighborhood is going to be that much poorer
The argument is that insurance should cover everything, but there’s no guarantee that a person’s provider will cover matters given that the damage will be written off as the result of a riot, which isn’t always protected in a normal policy.
Store Fronts matter in towns hundreds of miles from where I live ! It has nothing to due with Black lives or what President Trump tells me, says the shooter. The base will believe anything.
Trump is deliberatly stoking anger in order to run a law and order campaign. Such a campaign distracts people from his failings and vices. The protesters have stupidly taken the bait.We’ve seen this movie before: Nixon in ’68, Hitler in 1933.

Send in the armed seventeen years olds to defend the merchants who didn’t ask for their help.

That guy in panel two is far too old. He should be drawn as a 17 year old. The Military Assault weapon is correct, though.

Property trumps lives. In the U.S., it’s worshipped with the fervor of a death cult.

What really “matters” is to address the problem, then the protests end. Instead we’ve seen antipathy and excuses.
