Where Are We Now?

For John, BLUF:  Last Summer the Black Lives Matter marchers, and ANTIFA, were threatening the Nation, one block at a time.  This is from that period.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

BLM leader:  If change doesn’t happen, then ‘we will burn down this system’

From The New York Post, by Reporter Mark Moore, 25 June 2020, 9:19am.

Here is the lede plus two:

The president of Greater New York Black Lives Matter said that if the movement fails to achieve meaningful change during nationwide protests over George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police officers, it will “burn down this system.”

“If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.  All right?  And I could be speaking figuratively.  I could be speaking literally.  It’s a matter of interpretation,” Hawk Newsome said during an interview Wednesday evening on “The Story” with Martha MacCallum.

“Let’s be very real,” he told the Fox News host.  “Let’s observe the history of the 1960s, when black people were rioting.  We had the highest growth in wealth, in property ownership.  Think about the last few weeks since we started protesting.  There have been eight cops fired across the country.”

The question is, how will this Summer turn out.  The election of Democrat Joe Biden is no guarantee of peace in the streets.  Further, in some Cities Police forces have been reduced.

It could be a very interesting Summer.  I wish President Biden and his Administration the very best of luck.
