Most of this is groups/entities set in place under the great-magnificent demigod obama( :puke3::puke3::puke3:--8 years of that worthless piece of shit working to weaken this nation.
Can not undo 8 years of pure treason in only a few months.
They are pulling out all the stops to destroy Trump because they know in his second term a lot of their filthy , traitorous heads will roll, imho.
Stirring up the blacks, inciting riots and rebellion - promoted by dem politicians/mainstream media and several (terrorist)groups blessed to be have been formed and promoted under obama 's time as traitor in chief.
Cold hard truth of it..-Tyr

I agree with the democrats and media egging this on. Speaking as someone not enamored of or by this President; driven to likely voting for him by some of his accomplishments, but more because of said democrats and media, the glee for chaos and shaking things up and hope for at minimum a bloodless civil war, has resulted in what I feared from 2015. Past is past and nothing to be done for it, but furies are now released and we all are going to have to suck it up and see what the results are of all the unintended consequences.

It'll blow over. Until next time. We'll pay for it and forget about it. Until next time.

There WILL BE a "next time: because it wasn't squashed "last time", or more importantly, THIS time.

The so-called "silent majority" better become vocal or they are going to "silent" themselves out of a country where vocal, crybaby minority groups are getting all the attention, both media and legislative-wise.

Meanwhile in Oakland, it seems someone thought there were nooses found in park trees. The police started an investigation. A nice black man, came forward and said they were parts of hand swings he'd put up when the playgrounds were shut down. He'd done a good deed, they weren't nooses.

The mayor it seems had announced the investigation, she now had an explanation that they weren't 'nooses.' Indeed it was a black man that had hung them for others to enjoy.

...

So it was, mercifully, a false alarm. An incident that seemed poised to raise racial tensions in Oakland was actually just a misunderstanding. No one was trying to intimidate anyone. Now the mayor could call a press conference, tell the public what happened, and douse any embers of suspicion that might be starting to burn in the community.

But Oakland’s mayor didn’t do that. She’s a Democrat running a reliably Democratic city in a reliably Democratic state. Instead of putting her constituents at ease, this was her moment to throw fuel on those embers and peacock about how down with the struggle she is. And so she declared that, Sengbe’s information notwithstanding, the incident would continue to be investigated as a hate crime. A chilling line in the clip below: “The intentions do not matter because the harm is real.” The intentions do matter if what we’re worried about here is racial hatred, but her point is in keeping with the ethos of woke leftism that prioritizes the alleged victim’s feelings above all. Did the rope-swing hanging from the tree make you feel “unsafe”? Then your local government needs to show you how much it cares. Telling you that you shouldn’t feel unsafe because those were swings, not nooses, won’t cut it.

Intentions do not matter. We will not tolerate symbols of hate in our city. The nooses found at Lake Merritt will be investigated as hate crimes.

Nick Gillespie (https://reason.com/2020/06/19/oakland-nooses-turn-out-to-be-exercise-swings-mayor-wants-to-investigate-them-as-a-hate-crime-anyway/) writes, “Linger for a moment on this: A white mayor dismissing the black resident’s explanation charging ahead with an emotionally fraught investigation against him that could result in enhanced penalties.” It couldn’t possibly result in Sengbe being charged, could it? Schaaf seems willing to go a long way to make this molehill into a mountain in the interest of burnishing her political brand but hopefully not that far.
Because everything is terrible now, yesterday Oakland PD found an effigy hanging (https://news.yahoo.com/oakland-residents-stunned-effigy-hanging-211910866.html) in the same park where the “nooses” had been found. Is there a dastardly white supremacist on the loose trying to terrorize Oaklanders? Did some left-wing provocateur fashion the effigy to try to redeem the fake news about the “nooses”? Or was it just a tasteless prank by some idiot looking to capitalize on the sudden panic about racist displays in city parks? Whatever the answer, it’s hard to avoid the assumption that Schaaf’s insistence on racializing this otherwise innocuous misunderstanding in a high-profile way gave someone the idea to start hanging things from trees. Way to go, Mayor Karen.

Easier if you don't have a job. Right now 'speaking out' is likely to not only get you canned, but have people marching on your residence. The mob has come.

OTOH, those wearing masks that say, "I Can't Breathe" or "BLM", no problem.

Me too, obviously. I do not do politics on social media, it's too nasty.
