Patricia McCarthy at American Thinker has a column titled “Who
is recruiting, moving and paying the professional anarcho-rioters?” Good question. Here are some of her thoughts:
The death by cop of George Floyd in
Minneapolis was grotesque, a clearer example of police brutality that has otherwise
rarely been filmed for all to see. Even if, as has been reported,
Floyd did not die of asphyxiation or strangulation as it appeared, his death
was without a doubt caused by that officer’s cruel and unnecessary action and
the inaction of his fellow officers who stood by and watched.
Yet that does not begin to explain the rioting. McCarthy continues:
Is it really the citizens of
Minneapolis [and other cities, including Cleveland] who have set the city on
fire, burning down small businesses as well as the police precinct building,
libraries, etc.? Who are those masked men in black with
secret-service quality ear-pieces, military grade gas masks and backpacks full
of Molotov cocktails? They are very likely professional rioters,
recruited, transported and paid by the likes of some George Soros front group
or other anonymous Cloward-Piven devotees who share Soros’ hatred of America
and want to see this nation bought to its knees. Panic over the virus was
waning. These orchestrated riots across the country are the next
ploy. Someone is organizing this madness. Someone is
supplying the most lethal rioters with all the accoutrements of conflagration
and moving them into place to all the affected cities. That all
costs a great deal of money. Antifa owes its funding to Soros as do
the more violent branches of Black Lives Matter. These players seem
strangely secure that they will not be arrested or that if they are, they will
be quickly released.
. . .
What is happening all over America
these past several nights is not about George Floyd. The rioters are
using his death to embark on rampages, to loot small and large businesses
alike. These are not protests. What we are seeing
is mass thievery under color of protest. Chances are if the looters
in Los Angeles were asked “who was George Floyd,” they would not have a clue
nor would they care.
. . .
No matter how much the media loves
to fan the flames, indicting America as a racist nation and blaming Trump for
every single thing they can, these riots have nothing to do with race beyond it
being a convenient excuse for criminal behavior. Those rioting, setting
things on fire, smashing store windows and looting businesses are black, white,
and Hispanic; they are a conglomeration of races, but are all thugs
without a shred of decency.
