Loading ...Is it intentional not to cover this kind of destructive activity?
On Saturday night, hundreds of Black youths rode “Redline” transit trains from various neighborhoods downtown. They exited in the heart of the “Loop” and rampaged through the Michigan Avenue area on the north and Millennium Park south of the Chicago River. Many of the stores that had windows broken out during the recent riots, had their replacement windows broken again. People in the area for the Holiday weekend were attacked and beaten. Vehicles were damaged. A CTA bus was stolen and taken for a wild ride down Lake Shore Drive. Police Officers had their days off cancelled so there were groups in staging areas that were assigned to put this mayhem down.
There was very little news coverage of this destruction. No coverage in either the Chicago Sun Times or Tribune. No coverage on Chicago television stations ABC, CBS, or NBC. How and Why did that happen. In this day and age anything happening this large is immediately spread on social media to which all the major media monitor. Is it intentional not to cover this kind of destructive activity?
The below link is from a Fox television reporter who did provide information and has now printed an “open letter” to the very thin skinned Mayor who is not going to receive it well. Click below:

Absolutely Outrageous
A…that this happened at all
B…That None of the Chicago media reported it
Rule of Law is what the Liberals in general and those on this board are citing ?
And what of spreading the virus ?
Unreal that they can just turn blind to this mayhem and destruction .
Unbelievable that they will vote for more of the same .

Most Americans desperately want their neighborhoods to feel safe, and this could be the one issue that could rescue the Republicans from a potential disaster in the November election.
Right now, most Democrats are extremely hesitant to speak out against the violent protests that we have been witnessing all over the nation, and that is a huge mistake.
And we definitely witnessed more alarming violence during the political protests that were held over the past few days. For example, protesters in Portland were launching projectiles and shooting fireworks at police officers in Portland for hours. If Democrats want to win over independent voters, they cannot be seen as siding with such violence.
By engaging in such utter lawlessness, these radical protesters are actually hurting their own cause, because it is only going to help President Trump.
The more violence that we see, the more the American people are going to want it to stop. If tens of millions of voters believe that “Joe Biden’s America” is an America filled with rioting, looting and violence, that could potentially be enough to push Trump over the top in November.
So Joe Biden’s unwillingness to strongly call for law and order may turn out to be his Achilles heel.
The way national elections are won in America is by winning over the millions of confused people in the middle, and right now the images of these protests that those confused people are viewing on their television screens are definitely not helping Democrats. For example, over the weekend protesters in New York were burning American flags as they chanted “America was never great”…
Does anyone out there actually think that such stunts will make the confused people in the middle more likely to vote for Democrats?
Right now, Trump is way behind in the polls, but if he makes these protesters the central issue of the campaign over the next several months he may still have a chance of winning.
But no matter who wins in November, it appears that we have now entered a new era of violence and rioting in this country.
Many of our major cities already resemble war zones, and what we have experienced so far is just the beginning.
” Is it intentional not to cover this kind of destructive activity?” The question answers itself. There are so so very many things going way way back (decades) that were not covered or were covered only in final paragraphs on page 19 of newspaper articles at most, and obliquely and in distorted fashion.
One may want to back up to question whether one is also as unknowingly manipulated as much as those “protesters” may be, just in a different fashion, in a different sort of ignorance. Am I a tool, are you a tool, and of course are they tools — being tugged on and pushed and pulled?
Yes but the difference is YOU are a sharp tool ( Homo sapiens) and the “Protesters” are Dull Tools…( Neanderthal )
