From Breitbart:
Protesters harassed people in the streets of
Washington, DC, following the last night of the Republican National
Convention at the White House. Many of the individuals harassed were Republican politicians and RNC
guests who were leaving the convention’s closing ceremonies and were met
by protesters shoving, cursing, and shouting Black Lives Matter slogans
at them. (Read more.)
Also from Breitbart:
Well, the leader of one of America’s two major political parties said
nothing as violence broke out in Los Angeles; Minneapolis;
Fayetteville; Atlanta; New York; Nashville; Seattle; Portland;
Philadelphia; Chicago; Milwaukee; Salt Lake; Washington, DC; Detroit;
Indianapolis; San Francisco; Kansas City; Houston; Charlotte; Cleveland;
Pittsburgh; Denver; Dallas; Phoenix; Tampa; Baltimore; Oakland; and
Louisville broke out into violence… And now, in a little place called
Kenosha.
That’s not exactly fair.
Biden did say stuff. All kinds of stuff that justified and encouraged the violence. He applauded terrorists as “protesters” and assured them their future president stood with them and against law and order.
Even as people of every color and background guilty of nothing more
than opening a small business lost everything, Joe Biden sided with,
championed, and encouraged those who took that everything.
The man who wants to be our president could not even bring himself to say David Dorn’s life mattered.
I can hardly believe it’s true. We now live in a country where the
leader of one of our two major political parties does not have the moral
courage to condemn the burning of police stations and courthouses.
I can hardly believe it’s true. We now live in a country where the
leader of one of our two major political parties says nothing while
terrorists seize a chunk of an American city, including hundreds of
homes and a police station — where people die.
We now live in a country where a man who wants to be our president condemns law enforcement and sides with the mob during widespread looting
and assaults, sides with the mobs swarming people guilty of nothing
more than making a wrong turn, sides with those terrorizing
neighborhoods and dragging around guillotines…
I’ve never lived in a country like that.
I never believed it was possible to live in a country like that.
Even more disturbing is the fact that it was not Joe Biden’s humanity
or sense of decency or moral outrage that finally forced him to
grudgingly condemn the looting and burning of his country… it was the
polls.
Were it not for the polls… Good God, I don’t even know what to think about it.
We have crossed the Rubicon. Welcome to a world where six companies
own 90 percent of the media, and the media champion and encourage
violence and terrorism against us.
Welcome to a world where one of our two major political parties champions and encourages violence and terrorism against us. (Read more.)
Some defend the looting. Those who claim that insurance will cover the damage have never had to deal with an insurance company. From The Post-Millenial:
For Osterweil, whose book is graced with a glossy crowbar, smashing
windows, ripping down plywood, breaking into shops and taking that which
does not belong to you, is perfectly fine. In fact, she believes that
the term "looting" is racially based because the word comes from a Hindi
root.
To those who are in the streets committing mass theft,
Osterweil attributes the lofty goals of socialist property
redistribution towards a more equitable society. And she has no concern,
even remotely, for the people who were hurt during the riots and
looting.
David Dorn died at the hands of looters and his death was
live streamed to Facebook. For Osterweil, Dorn’s death was merely
collateral damage in service to a greater cause. His family
are suffering a deep loss because criminal thieves believed that their
right to property was more important than Dorn's right to life. (Read more.)
From The Daily Wire:
Left-wing rioters set fire to the Portland Police Association (PPA)
building on Friday night as the city continues to be rattled by violence
from antifa extremists.
“The PPA office has been the site of
numerous violent protests over the past few months, and protesters have
lit the building on fire several times,” the Portland Police Department said
in a statement. “It is located in a residential neighborhood and there
is concern that any building fire could spread to occupied homes,
especially during the current stretch of dry weather.” (Read more.)
From Mrs. Paul at The Washington Examiner:
Thursday night felt like being in a terrifying dystopian novel. The mob swarmed me and my husband,
Sen. Rand Paul, in a tight circle, screaming expletives, threats, and
shouting, "Say her name." We rushed up to two police officers, and I believe that is the only thing that kept us from being knocked to the ground. Even pressed against the officers, we were greatly outnumbered.
As the mob grew and became more threatening, we literally
could not move, and neither could the two officers for several minutes.
The rioters were inches from us, screaming in our faces.
That was the worst part. At first, I attempted to meet the eyes of one of the protesters and tried to explain that Rand authored the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act,
but it seemed to just infuriate them more, as they called me a "bitch"
and "racist wh---" alongside an endless torrent of "f--- yous."
Mobs are terrifying. They looked at us with no humanity —
just a vicious and righteous zeal. After that, I just kept my eyes down
and prayed. All I could think of was the driver who was pulled from his
car, viciously kicked in the head and left lying in his own blood in
Portland, Oregon, last week. (Read more.)
Meanwhile, there came what some call the most Catholic moment in American history. From LifeSite:
Opera singer Christopher Macchio
offered a beautiful rendition of the song, cherished by Catholics, from
the Blue Room balcony of the White House after President Donald Trump’s
speech officially accepting his party’s nomination to run for
reelection.
After the sung prayer to Our Lady, Macchio invited the Trump family
and guests gathered on the south lawn of the White House to join in
singing “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful.”
“God will honor those who honor Him (and those who honor the Mother
of God the Son),” proclaimed Dr. Taylor Marshall, Catholic author and a
member of Catholics for Trump advisory board. “Ave Maria!!!!” (Read more.)
