A three-person leftist think tank has proved that the Peaceful Protests have been overwhelmingly Peaceful (except for the approximately 600 riots in the more than 200 cities that they have recorded).
Corporate Twitter.com is pushing this story:
Report finds that 93% of Black Lives Matter protests in the US were peaceful
A report produced by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) found that of the 7,750 protests linked to the Black Lives Matter movement that took place in the US between May 26 through August 22, only 220 were not peaceful. The report further states that for those considered “violent,” the upheaval was “largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city.”
I’m reminded of the scene in Mars Attacks! where the President encourages the public to look on the bright side of the Martians ray-gunning a joint session of Congress:
Update: iSteve commenter res points out that Twitter.com’s assertion that the report say that “only 220 were not peaceful” is not true. What the reports says is that there were riots in fewer than 220 different locations around the country. Of course, many of these not quite 220 cities have suffered multiple riots, such as Portland.
Here’s some background from this leftist organization’s report:
Blue dots represent protests, orange dots represent protests that were riots. The bigger the blue dot the more the number of protests, the bigger the orange dot the more the number of violent protests. For example, Portland has had a huge number of riots. And, as you can see by comparing the size of the orange dot (riot) to blue ring (protest), virtually every demonstration in Portland has been violent.
Also, keep in mind that the dates mapped are just up through August 22, which was two days before the Jacob Blake riots started.
From the report:
Between 26 May, the day after Floyd’s death, and 22 August, ACLED records over 7,750 demonstrations linked to the BLM movement across more than 2,440 locations in all 50 states and Washington, DC.
…
An Overwhelmingly Peaceful MovementThe vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent (see map below). In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations, meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful
protests.
So, America has had far more than 220 riots this summer (there have been approaching half that many in Portland alone). What this leftist group found were violent demonstrations in nearly 220 different locations around the country. If we knew the average number of riots per location we could calculate the total number of riots, which might be approaching four figures.
The leftist group’s report doesn’t mention the total number of riots, but when I go into their underlying data I see them listing 617 riots from May 25 thru August 29, the vast majority involving BLM, Antifa or other leftist groups.
Please note, though, that not every single one of these 617 riots was related to the media-proclaimed “racial reckoning.” For example, there was an Armenians vs. Azerbaijanis donnybrook that broke out at a protest in Los Angeles on July 21st. But the vast majority of the 617 riots (so far) of the Summer of George have been BLM-related.
So, let’s call it approaching 600 separate riots by the Peaceful Protesters in nearly 220 locations.
Is about 600 riots a lot?
Yes.

I’m willing to bet that police interactions with blacks are non-violent more than 93% of the time.
I don’t know what is going on. We are so deep in clown world that there is a German word for it: Realsatire. Maybe it’s the vegetable oils? Do-gooders may wll become batshit crazy as their brains become suffused with polyunsaturated goo.
The idea that you can be diagnosed with racism and it is a public health crisis has no merit at all
Well… If you think about it, depending on the percentages of what’s considered “mostly”, almost anything can be defined as “mostly peaceful”… Even death… Even war… I mean there are many times were soldiers are just moving to one place or the other, or eating, or waiting… You know, “mostly peaceful”… Except when there’s shooting and bombing and raping and so on.
1 – (220 / 7750 ) =0.972

My understanding is the car that drove over BLM supporters in Times Square was driven peacefully in excess of 93% of the time. Furthermore, the violence was “largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city.” So I’m sure it will drop from the news cycle momentarily.

Wow the national psyche is so far removed from where it was in, say, April.
The national conversation is escalating… but toward what exactly? In the past few weeks the establishment media globalist minions rolled out their ballot stuffing plans for the breakdown/takedown of the USA by inauguration day.
And noticeably the alt media people are really on edge now. From Carlson on down to bloggers and twitterz.
The letter correspondence between General Milley and the two colonels last week (they asked for a military coup “if Trump refuses to leave office”) has people concerned.
I see alt media anxiety spike across the board. Think there is inside info not openly discussed re increased behind the scenes moves. Is it hashish? Threats of hashish?
More media people need to go public with the threats they receive. Think a massive wave of serious deep state threats has hit the alt media and they are angry and a bit rattled.
Bannon sounds highly agitated today. Episode 169 is a new level of call to arms. He is a former Naval Officer. Says the letter from the two colonels is a bad sign and Milley’s response is a wake up call. Says we need to dig in for 5 months of trench warfare until inauguration day.
Last night we got good news —– a defused timebomb outcome in Portland. That idiot could’ve mounted a huge legal defense and media campaign that might’ve pushed the country into a very dark place. Instead he blew the opportunity.
Funny but this good news is not registering much. There is something else big going on.

Is Silicon Valley so militantly woke/progressive/Democrat because they are under pressure from The Atlantic Council/SPLC/Etc. or are there are other reasons?
I think another important factor is that conservatives tend to have families more often than liberals do. The risk of saying the wrong thing and suddenly not being able to feed your kids for a while isn't worth it.
If you're a talented liberal with no family, you can spend a lot of time on your job, which will probably help you advance; and as you advance, you'll be around other liberals without families; and even if you don't start out very liberal, you'll probably wind up there, because that's the crowd you hang out with, and anyway it will be good for your career.
The result is organisations run mostly by childless liberals, who employ a lot of silent, fearful, often basically Christian conservatives with families, who will never rise out of middle management, if they even get that far.

I expect the violence-to-demonstration ratio to only get worse, as the BLM cause boils down to the true believers.

1.)Do not engage in criminal activity.
2.)Do not resist arrest.
In this case I'll add...
3.) Don't be a Prude.
Much like the black run cities murder rate is only 30 per 100k. Doesn’t sound too bad! Until you realize the rest of the civilized world’s is approaching zero.
Only 1/14 riots are violent and all of them are mostly peaceful. Yay…
OK, so no 100% citywide riots. I’m so relieved. The Mayor’s housees are probably some of the good spots, well, just not in Portland, Oregon.

The basic idea behind using phrasing like that is to divide people into two categories (are there any in between?).

2. Those who respond by pointing and sputtering followed by "look, a squirrel!" or equivalents.
This is a joke,right. “Armed Conflict Location…” as in beach landings or airborne assaults? Should have searched instead for “Store Looting, Arson, Battery and General Mayhem.” Look those up and get back to us.

I wonder why you chose to leave out the facts that he was running around naked in the snow while high on PCP, that he resisted arrest, that he told the arresting officers that he had the Covid-19 virus, at the height of the pandemic hysteria, that he proceeded to spit on them several times, and that the use of the hood that they put on him, for protection, was the standard operating procedure for such cases? I guess just because you are a thoroughly dishonest, inveterately ethnocentric Black man, eh?
Why don't I mention the circumstances of the man's arrest?
Because the only circumstance that matters is the fact that police "restraint" killed the guy.
Just like police "restraint" killed George Floyd.
The only point that matters is that their "restraint" was not restrained.

I found this version of the story from the Daily Mail, which as many readers probably know is a UK right-leaning website. I don't know how accurate the information is, but it portrays the two arrested men as openly sympathetic to George Floyd and BLM. Some excerpts from the article:
Solomon and the men he was with said that they supported the protests and demanded justice for Floyd, but were opposed to riots and looting and wanted to protect private property.
....
According to the indictment, Solomon and Teeter first came onto the FBI's radar when a witness came forward and reported disturbing encounters with the two men, who were staying temporarily at the witness's home with firearms and 'substantial quantities' of ammunition.
The witness said that Solomon claimed his group, the 'Boojahideen', was opposed to the police, white supremacists and looters, and that his ultimate goal was to remove the police from Minneapolis and overthrow the U.S. government, prosecutors say.
....
According to the indictment, Solomon and Teeter also told the informant -- and an undercover FBI agent posing as a senior member of Hamas -- that they had plans to kill politicians, journalists, and white supremacists.

Yes, the worst leadership ever is coming from those born in the last years of the Baby Boom. Statistically speaking, you’re more likely to be a younger sibling if you were born in these years, and younger siblings are more irresponsible than older siblings.
For what it’s worth, Kamala Harris was born in 1964, the very last year of the Baby Boom.
The brass and beautiful people are mostly true believers, though there are still plenty of conservatives in the biz; but nowadays, they rarely speak. They remember what happened to Brendan Eich and James Damore, and the grunts mostly can’t afford to act like Peter Thiel or Palmer Luckey.
I think another important factor is that conservatives tend to have families more often than liberals do. The risk of saying the wrong thing and suddenly not being able to feed your kids for a while isn’t worth it.
If you’re a talented liberal with no family, you can spend a lot of time on your job, which will probably help you advance; and as you advance, you’ll be around other liberals without families; and even if you don’t start out very liberal, you’ll probably wind up there, because that’s the crowd you hang out with, and anyway it will be good for your career.
The result is organisations run mostly by childless liberals, who employ a lot of silent, fearful, often basically Christian conservatives with families, who will never rise out of middle management, if they even get that far.

These neighbors were hospitalized with coronavirus. Their vastly different journeys show the depths of Brazil’s rich-poor divide.
Hospitalizations of coronavirus patients plummeted in the state from a peak of more than 1,300 in May to fewer than 300 in August. Excess deaths in Manaus fell from around 120 per day to practically zero. The city closed its field hospital.
In a country devastated by the novel coronavirus, where more than 3.6 million people have been infected and over 114,000 killed, the reversal has stunned front-line doctors. Manaus never imposed a lockdown or other strict containment measures employed successfully in Asia and Europe. And what policies did exist, many people ignored.”
Related: it appears the Portland killer stalked his victims, lay in wait, and took preparations to obtain a weapon beforehand. The narrative of a “clash” between “white nationalists and anti-racist protesters that intensified” that made its way all the way up to Joe Biden’s babbling was a complete fiction.

I had never heard of this case. A Cuban writer, H. G. Carrillo, who died this year, turns out to have been a black guy from Detroit. Carrillo was an assistant professor of English at George Washington University. (from Wiki). For his entire career, Carrillo insisted he was a Cuban who left the isle at the age of 7 with his parents.

This does not reflect well on GWU’s administration. I wonder how many other universities are harboring these flaky fakes.

Maybe he just really wanted to write a first-person novel about the memories of a refugee from Castro’s Cuba but everybody in the writing biz says “Write what you know,” so he told everybody he was Cuban so they’d go along with his writing a novel about a Cuban?

syon, Sadly, lots of money is wasted and debt incurred by going to college to follow your dreams. And in these two examples, Ivy League debt.
Barnard, it starts in HS where marginal students are promoted and then given a diploma based on attendance, not achievement. These two managed to graduate college, many more drop out without a degree but debt. There are plenty of articles about students who were the first in their family to attend college where they were overwhelmed by the work load. These stories usually feature a minority student who was ranked in the top 5% of their HS. I mentioned before that I personally know three young who attended Community College to become Linemen. Two year course and then a job with the local electric grid company. One year on probation and then locked in. Hard, dangerous work for sure, but now making $100K plus.
It is truly sickening to see the dozens of blue dots in white, rural areas in the US heartland.

Peter Turchin says that political gridlock and civil wars/revolutions tend to be caused by elite strivers surpassing the finite number of elite positions. So chastened would be elites funnel their energy toward political activism and conflict in a desperate lunge for more influence and power. Gen X and Millennials were told by their Silent and Boomer parents that *any* form of higher ed was a ticket to the middle to upper class. What the older generations got so wrong was that they didn’t realize that their generation benefited from higher-ed precisely because few(ish) people went to college before the late 1980’s (when status striving began to explode). The General Social Survey shows that even small community colleges became much more popular by circa 1990.
Turchin also says that the trend to corruption was visible starting in the 70’s (more MBAs being sought and awarded, women entering the workforce in large numbers, an increase in immigration and polarization, etc.), but it took 15-20 years before these trends fully took effect.
The MP rioters who actually get right in the faces of the diners are almost always women, and there are always videos being taken to preserve the image of one of these women being struck or pushed by a Honkie, preferably a man.
Just as in riots during the ’60’s, the order is “Chicks up front!”
My solution to the student debt problem is that the colleges and trade schools repay all the student loans to the banks that hold the loans.
Many would go out of business. Unfortunately, the top 50 would still be around.

Anyone considering defending themselves against rioters needs to do some homework on the local DA. For Rochester NY it is this lady who actually seems pretty reasonable:

She highlights a bunch of stuff about how she’s secured convictions and nothing about emptying the jails.
But anyone defending themselves against rioters in NYC, SF, Seattle, Portland, etc. is going to be facing some serious charges that actual rioters never would.
Then beyond the actual legal considerations there is the reality that anyone standing up for themselves (or doing anything except completely cowering) will be doxxed, fired from their job, their kids will be attacked at school, and everything else.
In Austin we had one “protester” who brought a rifle to the local “protests” every night. He was video taped boasting that opponents were too big of pussies to do anything about it. That very night he was with a group that blocked a street. When he directed his unslung rifle toward the car, the driver got out, shot the man with the rifle and took fire from another “protester.” The driver got back into his car, sped off on the now-clear street, called 911, and turned himself over to the police, to be released a short time later. The rifleman who called others pussies was dead. He learned that some of those pussies have claws and fangs and are willing to use them.

Obviously right. The fact that 7% of these demonstrations turn violent is actually shockingly high when you consider that most of them were in the suburbs and consisted of a few dozen teenage girls holding signs by a roadside. Also, are they counting the more straightforward looting events? I don’t think the mag mile looting a few weeks ago or the Minneapolis Target looting (after that black guy killed himself) were connected to any prior protest, but BLM was clearly the catalyst in both cases.
I expect the violence-to-demonstration ratio to only get worse, as the BLM cause boils down to the true believers. The sort of apolitical normies who had been supporting BLM have been backing away from it, deleting their black squares and such, since late June/early July, but the true miscreants are still coming out every night.

All you people do the same thing. You divert. You “control the argument.” This is classic Frank Luntz.
Why don’t I mention the circumstances of the man’s arrest?
Because the only circumstance that matters is the fact that police “restraint” killed the guy.
Just like police “restraint” killed George Floyd.
The only point that matters is that their “restraint” was not restrained.
And the forensic examiner confirms this. An expert, unlike you, watching videos and magically finding things to justify your ignorant prejudices.
The “behavior” or the “guilt” of the murdered victims does not matter to my point, which you refuse to address.

Alden, so sad. I recently passed a crew of about 10 guys, all black, installing inter net cable along a farm road. Good paying jobs for those who have the skills and it seem you can get a leg up with two years of CC. Thank you, Steve’s on site California reporter.

Why don't I mention the circumstances of the man's arrest?
Because the only circumstance that matters is the fact that police "restraint" killed the guy.
Just like police "restraint" killed George Floyd.
The only point that matters is that their "restraint" was not restrained.

Homeland Security – it’s a sadly ironic name for a body that supposedly provides security for a homeland that’s looking more and more alien and insecure to its founding stock population. The “white supremacists” are only the white equivalents of BLM, the NAACP, the ADL, etc. Companies consider it good business policy to give money to BLM, while being terrified of even verbally condoning its white counterparts in any way.
Well this brings back memories. When I was really small one of my uncles was drafted (don’t think he got much further than Fort Sill, but it worried everyone). When he came home for a visit I have a distinct memory of my grandma, his mother, asking if the riots she saw on TV were dangerous. I’ve spent fifty-odd years thinking WTF Grandma, do you want to see that shit coming down the gravel road towards you? But now we all know it was just a peaceful protest. God bless the troublemakers, for they shall inherit the abandoned lots on which no one else dares rebuild.
As a born and bred Westerner, I take umbrage at the disrespect (above) of rodeo clowns.

I advise not using them to compare with SJW Wokesters and other media cockroaches. And even the cockroaches aren’t morally bad, like corrupt fake journalists and Internet fabulists. Cockroaches can’t help being what they are.

As a retired attorney, and sometimes legal consultant, who occasionally worked on criminal cases, in both capacities, and who has a couple of master’s degrees, to boot, I am guessing that my expertise, to the objective observer, is quite superior to your own, Black man. The fact that a death was labeled as it was does not prove that it was, indeed, as it was labeled; but, as long as the police restraint was legal and justified by the circumstances, any death resulting from that restraint is a justifiable homicide.
Regardless, George Floyd died of an illicit drug overdose— period!

As a native of Gary, Indiana, I am utterly devoid of “ignorant prejudices” about your people. I would get a family friend— the former head of the local CYO— to vouch for me, but two of your fellow Black men forced him and his wife off of the expressway in Chicago, on or about January 22, 1978, shot him dead, and pistol-whipped his wife into unconsciousness, leaving her for dead, on the side of the road, late at night, in the middle of winter. So, with all due respect, Black man, go fuck yourself in your well-worn Black asshole!

Two years ago I went on the first Mark Steyn cruise. Mark had dinner every night with some of the cruisers. The night I had dinner with him, he asked everyone what they thought was going to happen. I said, “I think there will be violence.”

I found this version of the story from the Daily Mail, which as many readers probably know is a UK right-leaning website. I don’t know how accurate the information is, but it portrays the two arrested men as openly sympathetic to George Floyd and BLM. Some excerpts from the article:
Solomon and the men he was with said that they supported the protests and demanded justice for Floyd, but were opposed to riots and looting and wanted to protect private property.
….
According to the indictment, Solomon and Teeter first came onto the FBI’s radar when a witness came forward and reported disturbing encounters with the two men, who were staying temporarily at the witness’s home with firearms and ‘substantial quantities’ of ammunition.
The witness said that Solomon claimed his group, the ‘Boojahideen’, was opposed to the police, white supremacists and looters, and that his ultimate goal was to remove the police from Minneapolis and overthrow the U.S. government, prosecutors say.
….
According to the indictment, Solomon and Teeter also told the informant — and an undercover FBI agent posing as a senior member of Hamas — that they had plans to kill politicians, journalists, and white supremacists.
…..
There are also several pictures of the two men posing with Black people in front of pro-George Floyd signs.

I guess the Rochester protesters and all the rest will be working for Trump soon.
Eh, not so much. This cultural split has been going on a long time. Doesn't take much to show up on that chart. It only takes 10 or 20 Goodwhites plus one token black to put on an Only Black Lives Matter! protest in front of city hall or a courthouse and get some time on the local TV news...which still exists, believe it or not. If there's a state uni or even a junior college, then there's bound to be a handful of black athletes and their girlfriends to be the core group.
That's what my local Only Black Lives Matter protest looked like. Fat, aging Goodwhites; fat middle aged Goodwhites, a couple of girlfriends-of-athletes, one or two black college scholars, a couple of skinny old church ladies and maybe someone from the county D's. Plus, oddly enough, two pudgy dudes across the street half-dressed in go-gear with carbines ... who told every reporter that asked them "we're boogaloos here to protect things". I asked around, nobody knew who those guys were. Curious.
There was also a pallet of pavers reported early in the morning of the protest maybe 50 meters from the protest site, but when I drove downtown I couldn't find it. Also curious.Replies: @The Wild Geese Howard

Every time something like this happens I feel I should reiterate the following :
PRO TIP: To avoid being roughed up, shot or killed by the police…
1.)Do not engage in criminal activity.
2.)Do not resist arrest.
In this case I’ll add…
3.) Don’t be a Prude.
Thanks for the reply. What’s amazing is that the two articles have no overlapping information. The Unz article has several Twitter posts from Teeter, the skinny guy. The Daily Mail has several images marked with the Facebook copyright that show Solomon (the fat guy) posing with armed Black people with pro-George Floyd messages. It also details information apparently coming from the FBI about the two’s support for George Floyd protests and their desire to kill police and white supremacists that I mentioned in my first post. All of this information should be easy for the press to verify. Somehow, I have the feeling that only if the evidence is debunked will we hear about it from the MSM.
Black lies matter. All lies matter.
Hopefully everyone can agree that the number of riots we see there is too many?

Good catch. I was being intentionally vague. The intended target was the idiot good thinkers who are trying to minimize the significance of all of this rioting.
The basic idea behind using phrasing like that is to divide people into two categories (are there any in between?).
1. Those who respond “of course.”
2. Those who respond by pointing and sputtering followed by “look, a squirrel!” or equivalents.

You are a classic Black man who reads at about the fourth-grade level. I said that I was a native of Gary, Indiana, moron, not a current resident. I was born at Methodist Hospital, the same as all of my siblings, and the same as all of the famous Jackson siblings. (My mother refused to have her children born at Mercy Hospital, because someone there killed her mother, in front of my mother, by giving my grandmother an incorrect injection.) We moved nearer to my father’s job, at Bethlehem Steel’s Burns Harbor plant, where he ended up working under Chief Justice John Roberts’ father. That was shortly before my 11th birthday, in between Richard Hatcher’s first primary win and his winning of his first mayoral term, on November 7, 1967. Feel free to look up Mark Furman’s obituary, in the archives of the former Gary Post-Tribune. He was my priestly brother’s best friend; his father was my first Little League coach, in 1965, and his youngest brother was on my team, the Red Devils. I spent an evening playing Risk with Mark and his wife, my priestly brother, and one of our cousins, some months before the murder, which took place as I was starting my final semester as an undergraduate at Purdue. The two murderers each got sentences of over 100 years, from the trial judge, to make sure that they would never be eligible for parole. I graduated from the University of Washington School of law in 1985, along with the current mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan, and the current King County Prosecuting Attorney, Dan Satterberg; the latter’s wife, another classmate, is an in-house attorney at Microsoft.
Your moronic argument was that if a (Black) criminal winds up dead, after being restrained by the police for resisting arrest, that homicide is a murder. As a retired attorney, inter alia, I explained that if the restraint was legal per se, and the circumstances justified the application of such restraint, then any death resulting from such a legally justified restraint was a justifiable homicide. You apparently have too low of an IQ, and too poor of reading comprehension, to understand such a straightforward explanation.
