I got to thinking (dangerous). These rioters are mostly young, mixture of all races. They look a lot like typical Bernie Sanders types of followers.
With Bernie out, are they feeling so politically disenfranchised by Joe Biden that they are turning to this type of expression?
This has to be about more than the George Floyd killing.
Any thoughts?

Some. Imagine most are too lazy.

Any thoughts? That's part of it, yes. Think "Occupy Wall Street" part II.

Antifa IS Bernie Sanders. But these folks are a mix of mongrels. Lots are there just for the flat screen TV's, cases of booze, and new Nike's. Still others are there to tear schidt up and burn things. It ain't a simple group. One common thing they have is that for the vast majority of them, it's just a "Green Light". It has nothing to do with Floyd.

Any thoughts? Yep. Probably some of that for the crackers, but the blecks are getting free stuff while just having some midnight fun. Some would give them BB courts.

Those at the bottom, who own very little and feel like they have to no stake in the society are willing to shake things up in hopes a few apples (or some Louie Vuittan) will fall from the trees at their feet.

They need paid in soft points. Why did the Roman Elite pay the underclass with Bread and Circuses? Because it was cheaper then a Civil War. We've been more or less doing the same since the Watt's riots of 1965, increasing benefits so they don't burn our homes and businesses. Unfortunately, handouts do not lift people out of poverty, nor build their dignity so they can build their communities. It creates the "welfare ceiling". Then we stream keeping up with the Kardashian to them 24/7, feeding their self-resentment over their failed state, and boom. Watts 1965, LA 1992, Occupy Wallstreet, and of course, today.

The African People’s Socialist Party held a peaceful protest at the Madison County Courthouse Local group hosts protest in response to Floyd death
By Stefante Randall | May 28, 2020 at 11:16 PM CDT - Updated May 28 at 11:37 PM
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - No justice no peace is the message being chanted around the country and in Huntsville.
It comes after the release of this week’s disturbing video of 46-year-old George Floyd from Minneapolis taking his last breaths with an officer’s knee pressing against his neck.
As a solution to raise awareness and provide justice, the African People’s Socialist Party held a peaceful protest at the Madison County Courthouse.
“This is a systematic issue we are dealing with. As black people we cant continue to look at it by incident, by incident, by incident. How many more incidents do we need to see that this is a pattern," said Dr. Aisha Fields.
“Why would you treat someone that way, why would you put your knee and your weight on a neck of another human being in handcuffs," said pastor T.C. Johnson of St. Luke Christian Church.
He said protests need to stay peaceful which helps raise awareness on injustice against African Americans, but he suggests taking it a step further with an economic protest.
“If 14 percent of the country take a spending freeze for a while or all of the people who felt like this was wrong take a spending freeze until we can develop and solve this problem,” said Johnson.
Johnson said while he may not have all of the answers to help end police brutality, he has a message to young black youth.
“As long as you have privileged people who don’t really care or people in position that you don’t mean as much to them as they do based on the color of their skin you will get nothing done," said Johnson. From WAFF 48 News

Many had participated in the Rodney King riots and laughed at taking any social justice, it was just a time to take advantage of system.

Any thoughts? In most of the past riots, the protestors were bussed in and paid by unknown entities thought to be Soros, et al. There is no reason to think these latest are any different with paid protestors igniting the criminal element already existent in various locales, using the excuse of Floyd's murder to raise hell. The shutdown of the economy and various riots have as one of their main objectives, the derailing of the Trump train.

I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but Soros would be the perfect funnel for money from Communist Governments.

I have a young lifter friend, who is in his early 20's. These idiots see themselves as oppressed (though not as oppressed as blacks), and the riots as a justified, necessary action, to reset a failed US society. I told them they were the useful idiots that communists use to gain power. I was ridiculed, of course.
