JASON LEWIS: The Rioters Return

Say what you will about Tim Walz and his fellow Democrats in the Land of 10,000 Lunatics. They’re trendsetters.

Five years after Minneapolis exported a new era of mayhem not seen since the Watts riots of 1965, the City of Angels is now being wracked by violence and thuggery again. Boy, didn’t see that coming.

And just as Walz & Co. did in the face of epic destruction from BLM during the George Floyd riots, California’s political ‘leadership’ is standing down and doing their level best “not to engage” the lawless criminals taking the streets.

Governor Gavin Newsom said “California didn’t have a problem ‘until Trump got involved.’” Really. Not to be outdone, Los Angeles part-time Mayor Karen Bass said the President’s National Guard deployment was a “chaotic escalation.”

And doing her best to remind voters once again why they don’t vote for imbeciles, Kamala Harris called the stone throwing, cinder block dropping, burning carnage “overwhelmingly peaceful.”

Of course, none of this is about protesting anyway. Whether in the Twin Cities, Los Angeles or Newark, Democrats and their violent counterparts (otherwise known as their base) are willfully interfering with federal law enforcement officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE.

That, my friends—above and beyond the derelict failure of local politicians to keep the citizenry safe—is a federal crime which may require more than calling up the National Guard.

No one dare call it an ‘insurrection,’ however
