George Floyd riots rewritten as "2020 fires"
[Hot Air] Remember the George Floyd riots of 2020?I do. Vast swathes of my city were burned down including a police precinct—a first. The City of Minneapolis actually evacuated and abandoned a police precinct and let rioters burn it down. It was pretty traumatic for the city. It took days to get the city back under control. The National Guard had to be called out, and even then it took days to retake the city. I lent my neighbor a gun. As a Black man, he was surprised I would and very grateful. We were in it together, protecting each other against a mob. He bought a gun soon after. First time ever for him. Well my local NBC station has figured out how to describe the destruction during those times. And it isn’t riot. In fact, nobody did anything at all. What happened was an event that had nothing to do with human agency: it was "the fires." They just sort of happened. Posted by: Besoeker 2023-04-08 |
