Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter

[tenderfoot]

RICHMOND, Va. – Riots in downtown Richmond over the weekend were instigated by white supremacists under the guise of Black Lives Matter, according to law enforcement officials.

Protesters tore down police tape and pushed forward toward Richmond police headquarters, where they set a city dump truck on fire.

Police declared the event an “unlawful assembly” and ordered people to leave, later deploying tear gas.

Six people were arrested. The mayor of Richmond thanked the Black Lives Matter protesters he said tried to stop the white supremacists from spearheading the violence.

“Their mission is simple, not the Richmond we know,” said Mayor Levar Stoney.

5. Tiresome, isn't it?

The date of the election is set by an act of Congress. It's not going to be changed.

[obamanut2012]

8. Just so tired of this, it is constant on here

[sweetloukillbot]

9. All this "It won't matter" "He'll cancel the election" bullshit does is suppress our side

Makes me wonder what the source is...

The fact is we're leading, by a lot. I'm not going to say it's in the bag, but we are in a good position, much better than we were in 2016. And I'm not sure what the doomsaying had to do with a post about white supremacists starting a riot.

[lagomorph777]

34. Exactly. Who is really behind this crap?

The OP itself (the Richmond story) shows that our enemies are running false-flag operations.

[fescuerescue]

60. Every 4 years.

One party freaks out that the opposition President won't leave if he loses.

Been hearing that for decades. Every 4 years.

[yellowdogintexas]

21. isn't it in the constitution that it is supposed to be the tuesday after the first monday

in november

[reACTIONary]

51. Not the constitution, it is set...

It is statutorily set as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November" equalling "the first Tuesday after November 1"

By 1792, federal law permitted each state to choose Presidential electors any time within a 34-day period before the first Wednesday in December.

Development of the Morse electric telegraph, funded by Congress in 1843 and successfully tested in 1844, was a technological change that clearly augured an imminent future of instant communication nationwide. To prevent information from one state from influencing Presidential electoral outcomes in another, Congress responded in 1845 by mandating a uniform national date for choosing Presidential electors.

52. Interesting.

I wish this would also apply to primaries.

[oldsoftie]

50. I know! And i keep hearing "he's ignored all these OTHER laws"........

Blah blah
The election WILL go on, and If Biden wins, Trump WILL leave 1/21
Period

18. But I think he will try.

[marble falls]

59. So what? He's going. Most likely with whimpering and no bang.

[wnylib]

64. Sure he is. I am currently listening

to an NPR program. They are discussing possible scenarios with members of the Transition Integrity Project, which is a group of people who have held high level positions in government and/or militsry. One of the guest speakers is a colonel. The discussion is about how the nation would handle it if Trump refuses to go. They have considered various scenarios and how agencies and individuals in government would deal with that possibility, which they take as a very real and serious one.

It seems that this group, who are more experienced and knowledgeable than most people, including me, are not so casual or confident about the outcome of the election and how it will be handled. They anticipate the possibility of voter disruption, intimidation of poll workers, interference with mail in ballots, a rigged outcome or a refusal of Trump to acknowledge losing. They are saying it is naive to think that the election and possible need for removal of Trump would proceed smoothly without a hitch.

[calimary]

28. And it's up to us to MAKE DAMN SURE it won't.

I

Will

48. When some members post and I see their name on/in a thread or post

Before I even read what they've said, inside my head, I burst into song...




Gloom, despair and agony on me!
Deep dark depression, excessive misery!
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!
Gloom, despair and agony on me!

[obamanut2012]

7. jfc just stop with this

we need concern and caution, not full speed doom, gloom, and giveupism.

[panader0]

12. I have read here for years about the end of America.

Very tiresome. In another thread many people announced they are leaving the US because
of current events instead of trying to make things better. Fair weather friends.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. I get that it pisses people off here.

The Constitution’s text requires that a group of electors, commonly called the Electoral College, chooses the next president. If a majority of electors fails to agree on a winner, Congress picks the winner in continent elections held within Congress under the terms of the 12th Amendment.

https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/does-the-constitution-allow-for-a-delayed-presidential-election



According to this source, the election cant be postponed but THIS can happen, something Thom Harmann warned about...If it goes to the 12th then EACH STATE has ONE VOTE, guess what that means!

So I WAS WRONG about postponing, I had read an article by Frum about how he could do that, but lets assume he cant, but THIS can happen and while traitor himself has no clue about any of this stuff, barr (traitor #2) will know about this stuff.

The reason I say these things is the same reason I YELLED AT PEOPLE in 2016 anywhere I could NOT to BASH Hillary so this wouldnt happen, but that didnt work either.


AS I have been saying everywhere including social media, EVERYBODY go home and STAY there until Nov 3, do NOT give the traitors a reason for states to not be able to certify their election results so the 12th doesnt come into play. If we have any election or constitutional experts here they will confirm the nightmare this could be if enough states allege they cant certify their results due to protests or civil unrest.

[LiberalArkie]

15. I am sure that the war planners have a solution for it. A lot of thinking went into the continuity

of government planning. I wonder how they proposed to have a new president elected after a major attack.

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. 12th amendment is what is up here...I was wrong about postponing from what I have

since learned.

The election happens, red states CLAIM that due to the virus or civil unrest they cant certify their results, if enough of them do this (and here is where an expert needs to explain it) then the 12th can kick in, if it does, party over, they steal it again.

[SWBTATTReg]

26. I would presume (IMHO) that Biden will probably get his 270 EV because blue states won't stop the

election from happening in Nov. 2020 and thus, Biden will win anyway, regardless if some red states don't certify their results.

[Thekaspervote]

32. Yup!!

[Eliot Rosewater]

35. I guess that remains to be seen, but wouldnt it be prudent to stop the protests until it is over?

[SWBTATTReg]

53. In a way, I kind of agree w/ you, being that it's possible that the protests could be magnified...

way beyond reality (look at how they pushed off the protesters away from the Wash. DC church so rump could hold up his bible (of course upside down) to make his stupid 'law and order' statement. I am worried that this administration will use / magnify any 'protests' or manufacture one for their illegal purposes so they can come up w/ some excuse to do something, such as impose martial law or worse (if there is anything worse than this). If I were smart, I would be lining up lawyers by the dozens, people in the know, bail money (if bail is even available) to get people out of jail, etc., for 'minor' offenses, etc.



I am very nervous w/ this administration and the willingness to engage in 'funny business' to do what they in truth want to do, but want to appear 'legitimate' in doing so. However, I do think that embedded journalists, the thousands of cell phone videos that are constantly recording stuff 24x7, etc. is going to make doing such things harder by this administration.

Still, I don't trust this administration nor trump one bit. Not one solitary bit. I don't think anyone does anymore.

[drray23]

55. The scenario where some red states don't certify won't work.

The electoral votes received by Congress are counted in a joint session at 1 p.m. on January 6. If a presidential or vice presidential candidate does not receive a majority of the electoral votes, the House selects the next president and the Senate selects the next vice president.

Amongst those states that would return the electoral votes, the candidate who has the majority wins. That would obviously be Biden since the red states not returning their EV would penalize Trump.

[BidenMyTime]

56. The House picks the president by STATE DELGATION

There are more red states than blue states, so even though the Dems control the House, Trump would certainly be re-elected.

Scary but let's hope it doesn't come to that.

[drray23]

65. no. that would be if there is a tie.

What I quoted is what happens. They first meet and take note of the certified EV that were received by the deadline. If there is a winner than that its. If there is a tie then they would do what you say and that would be the next step.

[dware]

11. Postponed by whom?

Trump can't postpone them, relax, the elections will happen in Nov. and come Jan., Trump will be gone.

[obamanut2012]

14. No, it won't

JFC stop.

6. I'm SHOCKED!!! Outside agitators causing chaos?

Who, but everyone of us, would a thunk it?

[gratuitous]

10. Odds that Trump sends in federal agents to "quell" the violence in Richmond VA?

Somewhere south of zero, methinks.

[keithbvadu2]

16. The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov

The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, or vandalism tools, pretending to be protesters.

19. What are the chances that it is also

white supremacist agitaters who are behind the fires being started at the Portland protests?

[McKim]

20. Portland Restauranteur Told Me

A Portland restaurateur told me that early on in the demonstrations, white men appeared at the Persian restaurant downtown and smashed the windows and left quickly.......very suspicious.

[wnylib]

24. Very suspicious indeed. This is why

Trump is making a show of force in American cities. It gives his thugs an opportunity to instigate violence that Trump can blame on protesters, claiming that they sre a threat to the nation that he needs to save us from. Nixon tried the same thing with anti war protesters (minus the armed troops) by putting agents at the protests to instigate violence.

46. Sounds like this guy from Minneapolis

I don't think they ever found him - or if they did, it was not announced.

[llashram]

22. trump and Stormfront

are sending thugs everywhere to instigate unrest, chaos amd violence so he can, closer to the election, declare martial law and elections rigged

[Thekaspervote]

33. Of course everyone is concerned, but could we all just stop repeating this...thank you

[Nululu]

25. Same in WI and Portland

Demonstrators have security to stop violent idiots. They aren't all White Supremecists but a sizeable percentage are.

[onetexan]

27. i hope Richmond police locked these thugs up

[ffr]

29. Don't they have jobs to create or something?

Why they gotta be out conniving?

[bluestarone]

30. I'm ALL FOR the BLM protests BUT

Need to be smart about it! We cannot let the WHITE SUPREMACISTS do things that we will get BLAMED for! Protest during the day but NOT at night! That's my thoughts.

[Evolve Dammit]

37. Any arrests?

[tenderfoot]

38. From the article...

Six people were arrested.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. thank you. missed it

[Evolve Dammit]

45. like your Carlin quote too!

[Grins]

39. Remember back in April of 2009...

Remember back in April of 2009, when Republicans went all "Hulk-Smash" on a Dept. of Homeland Security report that warned that:

“...rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues.”

One of those "issues" being "That man!" in a very White House.

That predicted the:

“...emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks...the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.”

The Reich-wing's Noise and Rage Machine went into overdrive with John Boehner wondering why the term ‘terrorist’ was used to describe American citizens, and demanded the Secretary of Homeland Security apologize. Remember the Reich-wing's rage screaming the report was:

"...a sweeping indictment of conservatives... that there was no evidence that an unquantified resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalizations activity" was occurring - at all.

Oops!!

This is why we can't have nice things.

[uponit7771]

61. The most important thing is to motivate the voters to vote!

Don't listen to BS.
Don't listen to polls.
Don't listen to Putin (aka right-wing misinformation sources - all of them)

Just turn out the vote!!!!!!

Remind anyone/everyone that nothing good is decided by not voting.
