The BLM has tried to stage a nationwide wave of protests, similar to the one they were able to hold a month ago. However, the scope of today’s riots has turned out to be smaller – one can feel the fatigue of the population from endless street battles.
In Austin, Texas and Louisville, Kentucky, black nationalists came out in arms in support of their “brothers”. In both cases, they failed to conduct everything peacefully – as a result, one person died and several were injured after they mistakenly started shooting at the participants of their own rally.
In Seattle, crowds of protesters attempted to regain control of the city’s downtown area, where the CHAZ / CHOP People’s Republic was previously located. But the police this time worked professionally and dispersed the protesters, detaining 45 people who were found to have improvised explosive devices.
In Portland, rioters spent the night trying to break into the federal courthouse, which continues to be defended by the DHS. They are bombarded with stones, Molotov cocktails and fireworks. The anarchists followed the example of the Hong Kong protesters by using lasers to blind the eyes of police officers.
Antifa is demanding that city officials cut the police budget by 50%, release all prison inmates and resign the mayor of Portland. In the meantime, the pogromists continue to destroy their city, hoping that soon the demoralized police will surrender, and then no one will stop them from seizing power.
