The violence is inconsistent with the media’s repeated false claims that the Black Lives Matter riots have been “peaceful”, “mostly peaceful”, “largely peaceful” or any other weasel words and modifiers.
By Daniel Greenfield, FPM
49 Chicago police officers were injured by rocks, pipes, and fireworks while trying to defend the statue of Christopher Columbus in Grant Park. Despite their valiant defense of the man who discovered America, Mayor Lori Lightfoot sided with the BLM mob and had the statue removed anyway.
3 law enforcement personnel with the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service may face permanent eye injuries after having lasers shined in their eyes by Black Lives Matter rioters.
12 police officers were injured in Seattle by attackers throwing rocks, bottles, and fireworks.
These are some of the injuries suffered by large forces in a matter of days. By early June, I had tracked the cases of over 400 injured law enforcement officers in under two weeks of BLM riots. A month later, there are too many cases and too little reporting to even begin assembling any kind of complete picture.
A week after I complied my list, over 350 NYPD officers had been listed as injured in the BLM riots. By the middle of June, 75 law enforcement officers had been injured in the Denver Black Lives Matter riots.
Rifles, explosives, lasers, power tools, and firebombs are routinely used at the mostly peaceful protests.
Law enforcement officers have come away from what the media continues to falsely describe as “mostly peaceful protests” with fractured skulls, eye and ear injuries, and broken bones. Officers have been hit with bricks, baseball bats, and broken bottles. They’ve been shot, stabbed, and run over by vehicles.
The full total is not in the hundreds: it’s in the thousands. That’s a war zone.
And that’s just the law enforcement officers. No count has been kept of the civilians assaulted by the rioters. No one has assembled a list of store owners beaten and robbed by Black Lives Matter rioters.
Rough estimates place the scale of damage in the billions of dollars. Walgreens alone suffered $75 million in looting damage. Minnesota estimated damage to 1,500 businesses totaling $500 million.
This is wildly inconsistent with the media’s repeated false claims that the Black Lives Matter riots have been “peaceful”, “mostly peaceful”, “largely peaceful” or any other weasel words and modifiers.
Protests that injure thousands of police officers and cause billions in damage are not mostly peaceful.
They are mostly violent.
Carnage on this scale is not an accident or the work of a handful of unrelated people, as the media continues to falsely insist. When riots wound thousands and cost billions, the violence is not the aberration, it defines what the protests are and what they are intended to accomplish.
When marchers at a peaceful protest bring along crowbars, fireworks, and baseball bats, it’s not a peaceful protest. A genuinely peaceful protest would not allow marchers to bring weapons.
“The violence and pain and hurt that’s experienced on a daily basis by black folks at the hands of a repressive system should also be visited upon, to a degree, to those who think that they can just retreat to white affluence,” is not what a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest organizer sounds like.
The calls for violence and the acts of violence that define Black Lives Matter are not peaceful.
If Black Lives Matter were a peaceful organization, it would not draw its inspiration from Assata Shakur, who is wanted for murder by the FBI, and was the first woman on the Most Wanted Terrorist List.
Nationwide riots by a group that draws its inspiration from a domestic terrorist are not peaceful.
The media has covered this up by making a mockery of cause and effect and offering ridiculous euphemisms for violence that explain how mostly peaceful protests have ravaged entire cities.
“Protesters in California set fire to a courthouse, damaged a police station and assaulted officers after a peaceful demonstration intensified,” ABC News offered. According to the media, when a peaceful demonstration “intensifies”, buildings start burning and police officers are assaulted.
But if violence is the result of a peaceful protest “intensifying” then it’s not a peaceful protest. Intensifying a thing brings out its true nature, rather than transforming it into something it’s not.
“Boston’s Peaceful Protests Turn Violent at Night,” a Voice of America headline claims.
Are Black Lives Matter protests werewolves who turn violent when they see the full moon? Does the night have some magical power that turns formerly peaceful protests into violent assaults?
“What changes a protest from peaceful to violent? Aggressive law enforcement,” CNN falsely claims.
If a protest is inherently peaceful, aggressive law enforcement won’t change that. Reopen protests by conservatives faced aggressive enforcement without resulting in rioting and looting.
Some of the worst Black Lives Matter riots have taken place in progressive cities like Portland, Minneapolis, and Seattle, under the watch of lefty politicians and black police bosses. If aggressive policing led to violent riots, the worst rioting should be in the least progressive cities, while progressive cities should be experiencing the least violent protests. Instead it’s the other way around.
The violence of the riots correlates with the left-wing politics of the elected officials in charge.
Cities with the most left-of-center politicians are likely to experience the worst riots. It’s not aggressive law enforcement that causes violent riots, but the lack of decisive intervention against the rioters.
The media has tried to blame the police and the time of day for the riots, instead of the rioters.
A peaceful protest is not defined by the absence of violence, but by the presence of peaceful intent. The repeated false claims that the protests are peaceful completely distort the basic meaning of the word.
The media continually claims that every riot is really a peaceful protest that unexpectedly turned violent. But a peaceful protest wouldn’t turn violent. Only violent protests turn violent. A peaceful protest aims at peaceful change. A violent protest begins with hateful rhetoric and ends with violence.
A Neo-Nazi rally doesn’t turn violent. A Communist march doesn’t turn violent. Black Lives Matter was founded by self-described Marxists. The movement is interlaced with ties to the Nation of Islam. The rhetoric of its marches is violent, punctuated with obscenities, false claims of genocide, and racist taunts aimed at white people. These are not the components of a peaceful, but of a violent racist movement.
Black Lives Matter marches are mostly peaceful in the way that KKK marches were mostly peaceful.
Violent movements are not violent all the time. Not even the most violent fanatic is always violent.
The false claim of “mostly peaceful protests” rests on that strawman. But Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer were mostly not killing people. That didn’t make them mostly peaceful. A murderer can spend 99.0% of his time not killing people, only to be deemed evil for the 0.1% of the time during which he happens to be killing people. Mostly not killing people isn’t peaceful.
Rioting, burning, looting and throwing explosives only at night or on the weekend is not peaceful.
Racial nationalist groups, whether it’s the KKK or BLM, have a First Amendment right to protest. They have a right to threaten violence in the abstract, to brandish weapons, and to otherwise engage in posturing. But once that posturing turns into real violence, they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
And they certainly don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt when their hate rallies repeatedly degenerate into violence in cities across the country leading to thousands of injuries and billions of dollars in losses.
The only people who think otherwise are their political allies among Democrats and the media.
Their mostly peaceful protests have devastated cities and they mostly won’t stop lying about them.

@ Sebastien Zorn:
I read a direct comment by Napoleon, and as far as I can recall it, it went something like this..” The priests use religion to control the masses; if they realised the falsity, they would rise and tear the priests and the wealthy to pieces.
He was no servint of de lawd… When he went to Egypt he became a Mohammedan, and there are lithographs or a variety of prints, of him dressed in Arabic clothing, with a big turban, and smoking a hookah -whilst sitting cross-legged on cushions around a fire with other Arab leaders. You may have seen them yourself. In fact I think I have a couple of reproductions in a few Napoleonic books.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
There are loads of pictures of him,, all when he was in his 30’s. But you know that singers generally opera specialists, tended to become hefty, especially in the upper body.. Something to do with lung expansion, maybe; and adding timbre. Putting on weight as one aged was considered normal then.
When I saw him he must have been well into his 50s. Clothed in what I’ve seen described as “short puffy breeks” and long hose,( to show more leg).
Maybe he wasn’t fat but just looked it. It’s a relative term. I was in about the 5th row from the stage. He certainly struggled and was unable to get up from his kneeling position, and, as I said 2 men from the chorus came forward to help him up.
I couldn’t find any pictures even on Youtube later than the mid 1930s and even though his face is normal his body seemed “blocky:.
Yes a very fine voice, and unknown in these days.
Edgar G. Said:
Googled him. Great singer but he doesn’t look fat in the picture.
Michael S Said:
My father may have changed his views at the end of his life. I don’t know, I wasn’t close to him but I do remember him saying, yes, this is what I believed at that time, when I mentioned to him what I remembered of his religious views when I was little. He wasn’t exactly an atheist or an agnostic though he thought religion and mysticism were crutches by which tyrants manipulate the masses who couldn’t face the reality that there is no afterlife and nobody up there to appeal to (for all the world he sounded like a Marxist though he was an anti-Communist refugee, a Jewish Holocaust survivor and resistance fighter whose maternal grandfather and Hebrew school teacher had been famous rabbis in pre-war Hungary, as well as an ardent supporter of Israel and America. In fact, I once saw a black and white photo on his desk of him in a room with a lot of other men in suits with name tags sitting in rows listening to Golda Meir who was standing at the lectern, which must have been from the 60s or 70s, which I am sorry I never asked him about).
He was a Deist. I said this once to a Christian fellow violist who said, no that wasn’t Deism, until I just looked it up and Christian Deism is something else. The definition below fits the views he expressed to me, on the rare occasions he expressed any, to a tee, though he hated to be ideologically or politically pigeon-holed and just thought of himself as an independent.
“deism[ dee-iz-uhm ]
noun
belief in the existence of a God on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelation (distinguished from theism).
belief in a God who created the world but has since remained indifferent to it.”

Whenever I have asked Christians — none of whom believe this or behave this way in practice, less than anybody else, actually — about this passage from the Sermon on the Mount, they have always insisted that all it says is don’t take revenge, which is not what it says, at all, obviously.
I might add that while this sounds ridiculous in our society, it is the way Buddhist Mendicant Monks in ancient India, or in Theravada Buddhist countries today live. They are not allowed to own anything but their begging bowl , gown, and tooth brush and live on alms.

@ Edgar G.:
Sebastian and Edgar,
I’m so terribly sorry. I hadn’t read your comments in enough depth (and they indeed did come from very far below). In one comment, I was indeed being compared with Yeshua HaMashiach, the Chosen One; and in this I confess to being duly flattered. In other several comments, however, you two have both been mocking Zechariah, a prophet in Tanakh. Again, I am flattered; but do you two think it’s a good thing for Jews to be mocking Torah?
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Sebastien, I notice that all the things I’m being accused of saying, are actually Jesus’ words. Your mistaking me for him is highly complimentary — even the compliment comes from fools.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Oh yes, Monty had is all parcelled up and taped. And I don’t think that old Zech (maybe Zach) said “Jerusalem of course will not take the invasion lying down.”…….that term “lying down” only came into practice 50 years later…and WHO knows when THAT was….? Only de servint of de lawd……
@ Sebastien Zorn:
That’s like Jackie Mason who said..”do you know what they say when I take off my coat (implying belligerency) ..”PUT ON YOUR COAT”. . So put on your hat.. A tsilahachas could be also called a milder term, a “negge(a)”.
AND….lest we forget to wipe our “spectacles”, (reminds me of the joke about the rabbi and the priest) … Look up HEDDLE Nash. He was a great tenor. Just didn’t watch his diet too well.
Michael S Said:
I think Monty Python nailed it

Michael S Said:
“Actually, when I read this I remember thinking that it must be true that Jesus spent the missing years of his life as a wandering mendicant Buddhist monk in India because otherwise no sane person would ever say such a thing (and all the Christians I know are the most responsible and planning oriented people I have ever met). But, having read and been persuaded by Ted’s article on the HIstorical Jesus that the actual Jesus must have been like his brother James, and therefore nothing like this, I wonder who this was based on. I am always baffled by how religious people come up with the explanations of what texts mean which invariably have nothing to do with what the thing actually says. I just got thrown out of Jewish Facebook group called, “Jewish Lives Matter” because in commenting on an article about how the Mossad heroically assassinated some Nazi, I wondered why Israel never applies the death penalty to Palestinian murderers and got called an extremist and had to read a lecture about Jewish values supposedly based on the Torah which mandates the death penatly for murder.
@ Edgar G.:
Wow, Edgar. You can pick ’em. My hats off to you. I googled, tsilahachas and nothing came up. I googled Heddy Nash and I got the videos of a young female real estate agent. Ha Ha. You could compile a book and call it, “What Google missed.”
@ Sebastien Zorn:
One would suspect so, but perhaps an aberration. De servant of de lawd with a little weasel-work. In Yiddish we called such..a “tsilahachas”..
But, just in case, carry a knotted rope with a grapnel at one end, in case you fall in..
Talking about Music, I recall going to an Opera after the War, in Dublin’s Olympic Theatre, I think it was Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci. In one scene, the principal tenor, of great pre-war fame, Heddle Nash, got down on one knee to do his aria. He was clothed in puffed :gatkes” and long tight hose. He was “heavy”. He couldn’t get up, A chorus member on each side did the trick… He still was very good.
Another memory of the Opera…Sometime later, when eagerly watching Il Trovatore, my dear mother’s favourite, and mine. As soon as the curtain rose, I got an overwhelming front tooth gumboil in a tooth I’d broken the first day I tried out my brand new barmitzvah bike -5 years before…., which needed immediate dental care. (Luckily our dentist lived above his surgery) …So I missed most of it.
I always liked Verdi, commonplace for the connoisseurs I know. But I likes what I likes.
@ Edgar G.:
Hmmm. Is cancel culture contagious?
@ Ted Belman:
I AM listening to you..I DO listen to you. The very last thing I want to do is upset you. But you surely do not wish to take away my means of defence. …If you look at the posts, you will see that Michael S, says ..out of the blue, “To the dismay of Edgar G.”…..and immediately after, he says, (“actually, I love doing this”). Deliberate provocation.
Then he sticks his nose into my conversation with Sebastien, which had become a musical one, and warns Sebastien that if he converses with ME too much “you’ll both end up in the toilet bowl”.
I was just comfortably reading the posts when I saw Michael S’s disparaging and inciting comment. . Well…as the old Irish woman said “I don’t spring from nobody..I springs ATT’EM”, When attacked, I make sure to give back more than I received, a life-long practice. How can I be denied this..? Israel does it, why not I??
I won’t allow Michael the freedom to be sniping away at me like this. Why don’t you admonish him.
A few years back, when David Singer and I engaged in a similar fracas, and he complained to you, you admonished me…. but then reversed yourself because, as you said then, you looked at the beginning and saw that HE had first attacked me.
However if you remove “every comment made hereafter” to make sure I’m listening to you….well Ted…I’m not deaf. It’s YOUR blog, and naturally, you can run it as you wish.
@ Edgar G.:
Edgar give it a break.. Focus on the big issues, not the petty issues.
I will remove every comment made hereafter to make sure you are listening to me.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Sebastien, I don’t know what you two are carrying on about; but I warn you that if you converse with Edgar too much, you both will end up in a toilet bowl.

“I hope they are not going to try the same thing to fix “The Greater Depression”, I.e., another “quick and victorious” world war.”
I don’t know precisely who “they” are; but yes, I do think we will soon find ourselves in a “world war” against Israel. Zechariah said we will:
Zech.14
[1] Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
[2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle…
Jerisalem, of course, will not take the invasion lying down:
[12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
@ Michael S:
The United States’ Great Depression was also “fixed” by WWII, however, this eventually engendered the unprecedented power of the American military-industrial complex and the endless wars “for democracy, human rights, and our freedoms” that the US has been fighting almost since the end of WWII.
I hope they are not going to try the same thing to fix “The Greater Depression”, I.e., another “quick and victorious” world war.

@ Michael S:
That has to be the silliest and most illogical saying in history-even for a fake bible. It’s just on the same level as the (obsessively christian) guy who goes and sits down in the middle of the teeming highway, knowing (for sure) that the Hand of G-D will lift him out or harm’s way….(all the way to “Heaven” I think)
Even the beggars who sit outside the gate asking for baksheesh, know enough to have a few weeks supply stored up in case of a lean period.
As the REAL Bible says… Joseph interpreted the dream correctly, and saved up enough grain and foodstuffs to last the country (and immigrants) through the 7 lean years ahead.
In other words…anyone who believes nonsense like that attributed to the unknown writer dubbed “Matt:, should be certified as “irredeemably insane”..
There happens to be on this site a lunatic like the one I described above. He talks (babbles) the talk, but certainly DOESN’T “walk the walk”.(shambles)… He stores up piles of food and toilet paper…just in case “tomorrow” doesn’t look after him properly..
I wonder why he likes the taste of toilet paper….Of course, he’s crazy, but all the same…??
I think he also has a cement bunker about 100 feet deep in case of an atomic attack.
The American lawyer and (Pulp) Science Fiction writer Leo Zagat, just at the beginning of WW2, wrote a very interesting series called “Tomorrow”. in 6 separate books.
@ Reader:
You are right, Reader:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation
Recent episodes, such as Weimar Germany, did not affect the world’s paramount economic power (Britain, at the time). If the US ever has to “pay the piper” on its hyperinflation (or whatever form the economic adjustment takes), it will do so as the world’s economic anchor.
That is the first thing that will be unprecedented. The closest example to this I can find, is Third Century Rome, the “central bank” of the ancient world. The hyperinflation then was due to the devaluation of coins, which even in their most debased state have some intrinsic value. What US currency will devalue into is cheaper than metal, cheaper than paper; it will be debased to essentially worthless digital numbers in “the cloud”. That is the second thing that will be truly unprecedented.
The Bible (NT) prophesies the coming of these times:
Rev. 13:
[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
I do not know how to interpret that prophecy; but it seems to talk about the sort of “cashless economy” we are heading into.
Getting back to the reference to the time when Adolph Hitler ended the Weimar Republic, I notice that Germany’s economic collapse happened BEFORE Hitler rose to power; and he “fixed” the economy by mobilizing the whole country for war. We have a rough analogy to him in President Trump, who “fixed” the pandemic economic woes by writing checks, and would be in a position, after re-election, of “fixing the world economy” in the near future, when the devil demands his due.
If he’s the one, I will be in the curious position of having helped “the beast” come to power. I believe there is much more to come, though, in the months and years to come.
@ Michael S:
“where no man has gone before” Actually, a few countries have gone there before – right into runaway inflation.
HYPERBOLE ALERT #1:
“The full total is not in the hundreds: it’s in the thousands. That’s a war zone.”
— op
Our GIs should be so fortunate, as to be sent to “wars” where the weapons are mostly rocks and bricks.
HYPERBOLE ALERT #2:
“The US economy has collapsed already because of The Virus Psychosis.”
— Reader
No, Reader. It hasn’t collapsed. People can still buy and sell, without even having to get the “mark of the beast”.
HYPERBOLE WATCH:
“Also, the prices of gold and silver have incresed sharply over the past few months. Investors tend to view these precious metals, which were currency for thousands of years, as the ultimate “safe haven.””
— Adam Dalgleish
Adam, you might do well on “Zero Hedge”: a website of some value, but obviously an advocate for investment in precious metals.
My brief and minor involvement with gold has taught me that the metal is more volatile than highly leveraged stocks. Investment in it is nearly all driven by emotion. Sure, hang on to some Krugerrands and bag silver. You should always stockpile food (and SOME toilet paper), because we might have a trucker’s strike; but you do a great disservice to your sanity, and to those around you, by living in fear. At some point, we all need to “stand back, and know that (God) is God.”
The world economy (Note that I said “world”, not just “US”) has certainly been set up for a fall. Countries like the US are, the last I checked, ludicrously in debt; and others, like Japan and China, have ludicrously over-lent. When you print more money in14 days than we normally do n 14 years. as Steve Mnuchin has done, you know that we are “boldly going where no man has gone before”.
To the dismay of Edgar G. (actually, I love doing this!), I will quote a saying of Jesus that is irrefutable to a sane person:
Matt. 6:
[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I am not a market advisor; but my own rule of thumb is that if you lose sleep over your portfolio, your portfolio is too exposed to risk.
@ Adam Dalgliesh:
The US economy has collapsed already because of The Virus Psychosis.
The riots are just a side effect of the lockdowns.
Arrest those who FINANCE the riots AND THE RIOTS WILL STOP – VERY SIMPLE.
Then, WHY HASN’T THIS BEEN DONE?!
What no-one is talking about is that the U.S. economy is likely to collapse as a result of the continuing riots and the political instability connected with them. The U.S. economy, for many years, has depended on foreign investment to stay afloat. Foreigners put their money into American banks, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, etc. because the u.S. was considered a “safe haven” for investors, a place less troubled by political instability and conflict than other countries. But that safe haven idea is in the process of collapsing due to the riots, the severe economic problems, the talk of a likely rigged election by people in both parties. Investors have already begun to move large amounts of money from the U.S. to Europe. The dollar has begun to lose its value against the Euro as a result. Also, the prices of gold and silver have incresed sharply over the past few months. Investors tend to view these precious metals, which were currency for thousands of years, as the ultimate “safe haven.”

“The most anti-minorities president eulogizes Lewis!..”
Frankly, I never heard of this Lewis. I heard of C.S. Lewis, the Christian author, and John L. Lewis, the labor leader. All I know, is that a very worthy black man died this morning in Atlanta — apparently the very city where all this eulogizing is going on. He’s Herman Cain, who deserved to win the 2012 Republican nomination for US president.
The most anti-minorities president eulogizes Lewis!
The Obama/Holder/HRC trio abuses must be a warning to every American!
When given a chance they will jump for a repeat!
The entire leadership of the country is deep and wide in corruption. This includes the 3 branches of the gvt and the 2 parties.
The guards at Auschwitz were mostly non-lethal.
The most appalling thing aabout all this is that not too long ago, a poll by Rasmussen found that more than half of all respondents had a favorable view of Black Lives Matter. A more recent poll by the same polling agancy found support for it had declined to 41 per cent. But with the groups violence and hate not really a secret despite the media’s attempts to minimize it, even a 41 per cent approval rating for BLM is appalling.
