FREEDOM OF DESTRUCTION NOT PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION OF SPEECH

FREEDOM OF DESTRUCTION NOT PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION OF SPEECH

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

The apparent killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer was hideous to watch. It broke the heart of anyone who heard his plea. Initially the police officer was not arrested, which was suspicious, although all citizens are innocent until proven guilty. Nevertheless, he and three other officers have a lot of explaining to do. This was an offense against all humanity.

The next day there were supposedly “peaceful” demonstrations in Minneapolis, which were not so peaceful. Each successive night other cities joined in the looting and brutal violence towards the police. There was little to no eulogizing of Floyd. It turned out to be another excuse for rampant destruction of private property, government property, violence, looting and chaos.

Mayor Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor DeBlasio of NYC and a host of other permissive politicians prolonged and increased the violence by their patronizing view of the rioters. “Buildings can be replaced,” “take a light touch,” and “give them space” were uttered by permissive politicians. This was done to restrain the officers from establishing their authority. There were lines drawn by the police and crossed by the rioters without any arrests. A Minneapolis police station was abandoned by the mayor’s call and was allowed to burn to the ground. Police cars and officers were attacked without significant arrests. Many of the rioters were identified as being from out-of-state and many were identified as Antifa members. Appeasement is never a good way to gain control, enforcement of the law is.  

In this convoluted Coronavirus period progressive politicians are acting like fascists continuing to proclaim unconstitutional edicts. They commanded us not to open our businesses, not to attend church, require social distancing rules that prohibit our going to beaches and parks. The riots put an immediate end to the Covid-19 epidemic.  In the midst of the lawlessness these leaders who have constitutional power to end the chaos have transformed from dictators to condoning wimps. Yet, when these gestapo leaders had the responsibility to take charge and use their rightful power to end the riots they were nowhere to be found.

Large urban centers were demolished by Antifa tactics costing millions in property damage, dislodging families and unnecessary loss of life. The cowardly officials put their fingers in the air to see which way the wind was blowing. They were far away from the mob bullets, fires and looting consuming their communities. They did nothing to quell the rioting mob, not showing a shred of courage. Rather, their non statements gave license for the out-of-control rioters to greater heights of destruction of law-abiding citizen’s businesses and property. Ruining the cities, businesses and people’s lives is an evil way to regain political power.

The 2020 riots will be added to a long list of destructive riots that did nothing to enlighten citizens to the most meaningful way to deal with police abuse. The Floyd incident was an unnecessary execution of a human being. Why did the other officers not stop it? What should eye-witnesses do in situations like this? How many police abuse their power with other groups of people resulting in false imprisonment or death? Are there mandates that civil officials, including mayors, should have enforced to reestablish and keep order? There should be a comprehensive investigation of this mismanaged fiasco to prevent it happening again in the future.

No human being: rich, poor, light skinned or dark, Hispanic, Irish or any heritage, should have been treated this way.  There are many incidents in the United States of 3.2 million people where some have been severely mistreated or killed by prosecutors, clergy, police, judges, or politicians that have stripped them of their human protections and rights by their lies and evil acts. These evil doers should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. “Dirty” authority figures should be condemned for disgracing the faith the community bestowed on them and the irreparable harm to the victims.

People of authority cannot make up their own justice. They must follow the laws to let the legal system determine the outcome. No one has the right to be judge, jury and executioner. Injustice is not brown, white, or black. It must be equal justice for all humanity under the law.

George Floyd’s murder inspired many good people to march for justice. Like many previous spontaneous “protests” this one turned into an opportunity for recreational “get-back” by looting and destruction. These events are hijacked by terrorists, in this case Antifa, sponsored by George Soros’s organization, money and power. Their aim is to create domestic chaos to bring our country to its knees.

Antifa operatives in this and other incidents have been identified. It is time to arrest and charge them with domestic terrorism. Incarceration as terrorists is a necessary way to prevent reoccurring attacks on our nation.

Antifa can no longer hide behind supposedly peaceful demonstrations to terrorize America.
