It's a wag the dog situation. The Beer-belly Brigades are causing random destruction, hoping the protestors will be blamed. Their goal is that Dear Leader will use the chaos they've created as an excuse to give them the race war they crave.

So, we are terrorists now, ya know. Jamastiene May 2020 #1
Trump can go take a flying leap. (nt) scarletwoman May 2020 #3
What do you do when you are not welcome in your own country any more, Jamastiene May 2020 #9
It's been fucked for over 400 years. scarletwoman May 2020 #13
Yes this. AllyCat May 2020 #43
We are terrorists just as warmfeet May 2020 #48
Strong evidence that orders came from the top Generic Other May 2020 #2
Sorry, but I think that's conspiracy theory nonsense. scarletwoman May 2020 #5
I guess I meant they were encouraged from the top Generic Other May 2020 #11
I heard it too KT2000 May 2020 #17
This was AFTER the destructive shit had already gone on for 2 nights. scarletwoman May 2020 #19
This is an interesting post on Twitter Generic Other May 2020 #51
Remember Michael Cohen, trump doesn't give orders, he speaks in code Walleye May 2020 #16

Exactly! You nailed it. wnylib May 2020 #30
So saying MAGANIGHT was just coincidence? Perhaps, but it was a LOUD signal. cayugafalls May 2020 #31
What Trump wants is a good excuse Kaiserguy May 2020 #49
I would expect to see many phone videos showing this. SharonClark May 2020 #4
I embedded one phone link in my OP, but didn't want to take the time to chase down more. scarletwoman May 2020 #12
I've seen four phone videos of white guys destroying while black people try to stop them. tblue37 May 2020 #18
Thank you! My ancient laptop won't play Twitter videos, so - although I can see they exist, scarletwoman May 2020 #20
Why Haven't These Videos been on National Media? MuchBetterThanThis May 2020 #26
I think it's a combo of complicit media outlets, intheflow May 2020 #53
Thanks for posting...info has been hazy. Karadeniz May 2020 #6
I've seen a few similar reports on my Nextdoor news feed. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #7
Thank you! I'm up in Sandstone, MN, so I'm definitely removed from the action. scarletwoman May 2020 #21
Aww, you're missing all the fun! The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #22
I know, I know. scarletwoman May 2020 #23

Lots of videos showing black clad white men smashing windows Generic Other May 2020 #14
There are videos but they're kind of scattered around in Twitter & Facebook. scarletwoman May 2020 #15
This isn't about Americans protesting anymore. It's about insurgents hijacking America's narrative ancianita May 2020 #24
Well said! scarletwoman May 2020 #25
Spot on! 4chan and Deep Web.... the Insurgents have to be cheering and coordinating... JustFiveMoreMinutes May 2020 #32
I know someone who can do all that. But he says they're a bunch of losers. ancianita May 2020 #38
That is exactly right. But Trump has also been hijacking America's narrative for 3.5 years. cayugafalls May 2020 #34
Not hijacking. TRYING to hijack. We can see how that's been working out. ancianita May 2020 #39
I'll try. I am just so worried. cayugafalls May 2020 #42
It's good to be afraid. It's smart to be vigilant. You save democracy that way. ancianita May 2020 #46
Why did cops let the looting and burning happen? SunSeeker May 2020 #28
For two whole nights they were virtually non-existent. cayugafalls May 2020 #33
Every mayor and police chief should be surveyed on these questions. We can get to the bottom of this ancianita May 2020 #40
I admire your optimism. cayugafalls May 2020 #45
It's doing that alleviates fear. Journalists, the FBI, and other orgs can data collect. It's doable. ancianita May 2020 #47
Thanks for posting this. Alex4Martinez May 2020 #41
Media not showing these white guys, you gotta go on Twitter to see the truth. Plenty there. BamaRefugee May 2020 #29
