Kenosha Police Arrest Out-of-State Group Preparing for Riots
Kenosha Police arrested a group of nine out-of-state alleged rioters who were reportedly filling up “multiple fuel cans” and driving vehicles containing illegal fireworks, helmets, gas masks, and suspected controlled substances.
According to the Kenosha Police’s media release, officers were tipped off to the presence of three out-of-state vehicles meeting in in a remote lot.
The police tailed the vehicles, and observed occupants filling “multiple fuel cans” at a gas station, after which officers attempted to make contact and investigate.
One of the vehicles, a minivan, attempted to flee, but police successfully stopped the vehicle and forced entry.
It has been obvious all along. These people are bankrolled, organized, bused in, and deployed to riot. For the umpteenth time, they are not protestors! These people are paid anarchists. What is important is who is paying them and what they are paying them for. What we see going on in the streets is just the inevitable results of the plan. Since George Floyd died of a self-administered super-dose of Fentanyl, hundreds of people have died, thousands have been injured, tens of thousands of permanent jobs have been lost, and black neighborhoods will remain devastated for 20 years.
Marxists are just a bunch of cheap thugs spewing an expensive ideology. Evil is just evil and it will go on until it is stopped cold. Time to nail these bastards and end this.

I would hope the Feds have quite a digital contact tracing database of the national rent-a-riot organization by now.
philo,
One would think so. Politics gets in the way. However, every cop in the country is being put through hell.
NYC Police Union Leader: ‘Democrats Have Walked Away from Us’
One would think that enough is enough, is boiling up from the bottom. If the Democrats and the media continue to live in their bubble they could get trampled on Nov 3. Poetic justice.

Jim, I see no evidence cited that these particular people are “paid anarchists.” It is possible that this is true, but I expect evidence from both sides.
Also, I think that you overstate the fentanyl possibility in George Floyd’s death. I think that we can’t rule out fentanyl overdose, and the evidence is quite strong, but I haven’t drawn a firm conclusion that fentanyl was the cause. At the moment, if asked to state conclusions based on various levels of proof, I would conclude the following:
(1) Since we cannot rule out fentanyl overdose, I think that we cannot conclude that the officers (or any of them) caused Floyd’s death, either using the “beyond a reasonable doubt” or the “preponderance” standard.
(2) I would not conclude that Floyd died of fentanyl overdose under the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard. (Note: this is not the question that will apply in the prosecution of the officers — it would apply in a hypothetical criminal case against someone who drugged Floyd without his knowledge.)
(3) I would conclude that Floyd died of fentanyl overdose under the “preponderance” standard, at the moment.
More information might shift my view. One important question is the significance of Floyd’s pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs). I’d like more expert information about whether this is consistent with the hypothesis that the officer(s) caused his death.
Jerry,
I think that is what will be driving things. The takedown of the rioters staging things in Kenosha is the first hard evidence. I think it will be followed by much much more. Meanwhile, I think Floyd’s death and the other “hands up don’t shoot” phony memes are going to come under quiet scrutiny. As ordinary people realize that they are being framed & conned, they will resent the media=democrats for it. Of course, it will appear too insensitive to just come out and say so but already there is evidence of a latent Trump vote. This will undermine the media narrative even more.

On FB I rarely but sometimes get a lengthy post from some former friend who still cries a torch for the Democratic Party.
A year ago, her replies would have been numbering in the dozens – with all but 5% indicating that Trump has been doing a good deal to help America, while the Democrats are doing nothing but tearing down statues and trying to take away our guns.
But today – fifty percent of the replies were about how demented the Democratic leadership is and that FB user “RH” should wake the hell up. If it can happen in Kenosha it can happen anywhere – and it is the Dem mayors and governors that refuse to crack down on riots.
Carol,
Yep, Kamala comes right out and says she knows the
demonstrationsriots will continue past the election. Then she adds “and they should”. Completely deranged. I don’t think it’s going to fly. Women especially, hate this kind of thing. The crazed mob doesn’t care who it attacks. Thuggery released on an unsuspecting public and not a word of condemnation from the top.Regards,

“We can’t walk down the streets in DC safely now.”
A United States Senator fears for his life when walking main streets of our nation’s capitol even with a police escort because of uncontrolled mobs. We are on the brink of revolution.
It is depressing how shockingly disarmed the non-left is at lawfare. If civil suits against rioters had been brought soon after the riots began, the defendants would have had to answer and we’d be in battles over discovery of entities behind funding and organizing.
Besides Soros here are the other suspects:

Mister Bitcoin,
I think the corroborating evidence is going to be coming forth in buckets.
Kenosha sees 175 arrested during civil unrest so far; 102 had addresses listed outside city, police say
Andy Ngo has been trying for the last 3 years to get everybody’s attention. Antifa is an organized group of Marxist/Anarchists who come planned & prepared to riot. They are very dangerous and need to be shut down.
