    Rioting, Looting, and the Mask Effect

    The rioting and looting is spreading farther and faster than we typically see, and I would like to propose the idea that wearing masks is (at least partially) fueling it.

    While most of the masks don't completely obscure facial features, they offer a modicum of anonymity, and they also serve as a psychological "shield" from watching eyes and cameras. As such, they reduce a person's natural resistance to commit crimes. That's why Antifa wears them after all, and that's why the KKK hid beneath hoods.

    Keep in mind that tempers are running hot right now anyway, complements of our governors and their draconian rules. Folks were looking for a reason to act out and CNN gave them one.

    Add in the masking effect and it's a recipe for disaster.

    WATCH: Rioters Drag Chicago Police Officers.....

    Rioters in Chicago dragged police officers during a "protest" on Saturday. Violence continues to erupt in major cities across the country following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

    A large number of protesters can be seen surrounding police officers and knocking them to the ground. The protesters repeatedly strike the officers as they drag the officers down the sidewalk. The large crowd of protests throw objects at the officers and shout obscenities.


    On Saturday, the crowd grew more violent as the day rolled on, reportedly throwing bottles and fireworks at police officers throughout the day. One sergeant reportedly suffered a broken arm during an altercation with rioters near Trump Tower. The Chicago Tribune estimated the crowd of protesters swelled to around 3,000 people by Saturday afternoon......snip~

    To stop the rioters from spreading into other areas. The Mayor had all the bridges raised up. Seems like it worked.

    As long as they keep getting away with it, they'll continue.

    WHY, have they been allowed to get away with looting, burning and, assault?

    Lay waste to the sons a $#@!es!

    The leaders in these liberal cities and states believe that enforcing the law will alienate the black vote.

    "give them room to destroy"...a quote from disgraced EX-mayor of Baltimore during the Freddy Grey riots.

    It seems this has now become the GO TO response from all the liberal mayors and governors to massive lawlessness.

    "give them room to destroy".

    ...as all the major police departments piss their pants and run away.
    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

    So I guess they don't REALLY believe the rioters and looters are white supremacists.

    I can end all this tomorrow.

    Just call the governors of these liberal states and report that the protestors are giving hair cuts and exercising. Then give them the locations. Have other callers report that children are playing in the same area.

    The Liberals will have tanks rolling in within 5 minutes of the call.
