Your humble West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent has come up for air from Trump trial coverage to remind you that four years ago this weekend, the most radical cities in this neck of the woods decided to commit civilizational suicide. Radicals decided to throw themselves a riot and eat their hosts.
Mission Accomplished
If destroying Portland’s downtown, losing a critical number of cops, and letting lawbreakers go was the mission, then Mission Accomplished.
This week, four years after riots for a larcenous, hapless, drug-addicted Minneapolis man who died in police custody caused Portland and other West Coast, Messed Coast™ cities to lose their minds, voters finally admitted they might have been wrong about some things.
George Floyd took a fatal dose of fentanyl and meth and died in police custody, which later would be called murder. Police involved in that outrageous trial should keep demanding a new trial. No matter your thoughts on this matter, the West Coast, Messed Coast™ response to it was to blame all ills on law enforcement. Cops were “defunded,” law enforcement programs to stop gangs, guns, and car thefts went void, and elected leaders refused to put criminals in places where criminals go: jail.
Riots were held for more than a year in Portland. Here’s only a partial timeline. Read the rest at pjmedia.com.
