Hundreds of BLM Rioters Charges Dropped after 2020 ‘Summer of Love’
Around this time last summer, hundreds took the to streets in protest of the killing of George Floyd, a time period which some members of the movement ironically dubbed the “Summer of Love.”
While they seemed honorable at first, these protests quickly devolved into riots which resulted in massive damage to many cities across the country.
To add insult to injury to the many store-owners whose businesses were destroyed during this time, a large percentage of those arrested in New York City have had their charges dropped as well as diminished to lesser sentences, according to an NBC report.
“I was in total shock that everything is being brushed off to the side,” stated Jessica Betancourt, whose eyeglass business was looted last summer.
“According to the data, 118 arrests were made in the Bronx during the worst of the looting in early June,” reported NBC.
“Since then, the NYPD says the Bronx district attorney and the courts have dismissed most of those cases — 73 in all. Eighteen cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts like trespassing, counts which carry no jail time.”
Senate Republicans condemn Tucker Carlson portrayal of Jan. 6. attack
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and other Republicans pushed back on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s characterization of the deadly Capitol riot as “mostly peaceful chaos.”
Driving the news: In an internal letter Monday night, Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger blasted Carlson for spreading “offensive and misleading conclusions” about the Capitol riot, per NBC News, which obtained the memo.
SO WHY DIDN’T THESE FUCKING REPUBLICAN CONDEMN THE “summer of love “ ???
Democratic leaders applied a double standard to Black Lives Matter protesters and supporters of President Donald Trump who breached the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday, according to a Facebook post.
The Jan. 6 post features a meme with images of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris superimposed over images of buildings on fire. Text overlays of quotes purportedly from last summer’s BLM protests are attributed to each.
“Direct quotes when BLM was BURNING down cities and killing people in the streets! ‘Peaceful protests’ the media called it,” user Kyle Rubenstein wrote. His post has over 600 shares.
