BLM is a terror group. I never thought I’d see the day where (outside of conspiracy theory crap) infowars becomes a legitmate news source.
Since Milwaukee is a left leaning city, I would say that their vultures are coming home to roost.
In 1980 whites comprised 71.4% of the population of Milwaukee (the city not the metro area) while blacks were only 22.9% of the population and Hispanics made up 4.2%.
In 2010 whites were 37% of the population, blacks grew to 40% and Hispanics surged to 17.3%.
Clearly a multicultural/diversity success story soon to join the ranks of Detroit and Baltimore.
Lacking the ability to enact legislation establishing the desired Geheime Staatspolizei or Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, the BLM/Obama objective is to use the DOJ and consent decrees to nationalize the local police one city at a time in order to centralize the police that would normally respond to local political concerns so that they will respond more effectively to the “national” political concerns that transfix our aristocratic bureaucratic class.
It’s just like the Muslims, whenever blacks are in a minority in a area they tend to be more successful. Just like when Muslims are in the minority they don’t tend to radicalize, as much. The second either one becomes a plurality or majority things go downhill, fast. Why is that?
How much can I get a bet that at least one beauty shop was looted? What is the link between hair extensions and justice?
And on a related subject, ie: Democrat public transit…
Green Line shooting possibly prompted by T-shirt, gang rivalry
Governor Prozac is having a little tantrum to extend the choo-choo trainz, isn’t he? And I ask, why not? Who doesn’t want to be whisked to destinations far and wide among the comfort of a publicly subsidized choo-choo, surrounded by these sorts of hale fellows, well met, as traveling companions?
Swiftee, that reminds me of Tom Bernards comment this morning on the looting. What do 3 crates of cheeze-its have anything to do with this? Guy apparently took them out of a walmart
I wonder how many BLM activists live in areas that will be affected by the reduction of policing they are demanding. Certainly Levy-Pounds doesn’t.
I love the media reports that Gov Prozac and the republicans trying to find a “compromise” on transportation spending.
There is no compromise when you have a binary. Either be build it or we don’t.
Just waiting for DG to pop in & tell us it’s actually the fault of the Walker administration. Rule #1 when assessing blame for below-average government performance in case of natural disasters seems to be keep shifting blame upwards until you find a Republican. It would stand to reason that riots would be subject to a similar rule.
If you treat Milwaukee as “Chicago North” and Minneapolis as “Chicago Northwest” on the grounds that that’s the pattern of migration of young Black men who do most of the shooting and rioting; then crime rates in Minnesota and Wisconsin would rival Finland.
I can live with that.
swiftee asked “ What is the link between hair extensions and justice?”

the sister of the miscreant Sylville Smith one Sherelle Smith is quoted: ““Burning down sh*t ain’t gonna help nothin’ You’re burnin’ down sh*t we need in our community. Take that sh*t to the suburbs. Burn that sh*t down! We need our sh*t! We need our weave! I don’t wear it, but we need it!”
Sauk Fantoche, infowars is not a news site it is a crackpot site. It’s rubbish, it is media sewage.
Ah, factually false as usua, Mitch. Your stereotypes are on a par with those promoted by Earl Butz back in the 1970s..
Milwaukee is Democratic? Not apparently when it counts. Or did you forget where Walker came from in politics? Did an absolutely horrible job while he was in office there too of course. And did you forget who the sheriff of that county is? That would be treasonous so-called constitutional sheriff and 2A shoot politicians if you disagree with them David Clarke, one of the long laundry list of 2A’ers who advocate for the kind of violence that Trump was calling for recently against Hillary Clinton should she win (as in when she wins, given the gaffes by Trumpanzee). Milwaukee has the kind of problems that the DOJ finds in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, which invariably is the catalyst for this kind of violence.
Actually, if you look at the claims made by the sovereign citizen and constitutional patriot crowds, the riots are absolutely appropriate, because guns should be used to fight back against oppressive and tyrannical government. That was the premise of the shooter in Baton Rouge after he went on that gun violence rampage against police after all.
Milwaukee’s communities that are now rioting have had more than enough bad governance from the right to provoke those circumstances where nothing else is left to them as a realistic alternative. That is sad, but it reflects the observation made by Martin Luther King, Jr., who strongly favored non-violence:
Riot is the language of the unheard.
Milwaukee is rioting because it is the right that won’t listen.
Smith’s sister makes quite the contrast with Quite the contrast with Rodney King, 1992: People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids? … It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. We’ll, we’ll get our justice … Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out.
Thanks, democrats and race hustlers! Kind of craps on your idea of inevitable ‘progress’ over time, doesn’t it?
Or did you forget where Walker came from in politics?
No. And you apparently never knew it. His start was to Milwaukee as someone from Maple Grove is to Minneapolis.
Did an absolutely horrible job while he was in office there too of course.
Bla bla bla.
Riiiiiight, Which is why people keep electing him.
And did you forget who the sheriff of that county is?
David Clark. Right. Just like Rich Stanek is sheriff of Hennepin County. Does having a competent Sheriff mean the county is “Republican?”
No, DG. Milwaukee, like most major cities outside Texas and the Southwest, is a cesspool of Democrat origin.
Milwaukee is Democratic?
Yep. Elected its last GOP mayor in 1960.
Actually, that’s 1906. In 1960, the mayor of Milwaukee was a socialist.
Sauk Fantoche, infowars is not a news site it is a crackpot site. It’s rubbish, it is media sewage.

I think abovetopsecret.com has more journalistic integrity
David Clark, Milwaukee County Sheriff, runs and is elected as a Democrat.
DG,
So – you were of the opinion (!) that Milwaukee, proper – not its surrounding metro area, but the city of Milwaukee – was Republican?
Please elaborate.
Note that the election of a county Sheriff is not evidence of a city’s electoral climate.
More of DG’s fabulous ability to evaluate sources on display. I wonder how she got through college.
Glenn Kessler and Michelle Ye Hee Lee run the WaPo’s “Fact Checker” column. Look up their “fact checker” qualifications sometime. They are no more qualified to tell truth from fiction than any other human being with a degree and experience in journalism.
Just try and make sense of this “fact checker” riposte to Trump: “The rise of ISIS is the direct result of policy decisions made by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton.”
This is false and facile. The terrorist group is the direct result of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, as we explored in our interview with Washington Post reporter Joby Warrick, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his book on the rise of the Islamic State. (Trump, of course, supported the invasion of Iraq in 2003.) At best, one could argue that actions that Obama failed to take (over Clinton’s opposition) helped contribute to the growth of ISIS.
How about this: Obama could have acted decisively in Iraq and Syria to prevent ISIS from metastasizing, and through stupidity, temerity, or plain lack of imagination, he did not (i.e. the ‘jayvee team’ remark).
“Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, is now flush with $150 billion in cash released by the United States.”
Trump always makes it sound like this is U.S. taxpayer money — and he always uses a too-high estimate. Because of international sanctions over its nuclear program, Iran had billions of dollars in assets that were frozen in foreign banks around the globe. With sanctions lifted, in theory those funds would be unlocked.
More intellectual confusion on the part of the “fact checkers.” Their counter argument does not even contradict Trump, unless you believe that “funds released by the United States” has a different meaning than “sanctions lifted” by the United States.
“It all began in 2009 with what has become known as President Obama’s global ‘Apology Tour.’”
Trump resurrects an old — and discredited — Republican talking point. His prepared text even cited an April 2009 article written by Karl Rove as its source. As we demonstrated more than five years ago, Rove took Obama’s quotes out of context and twisted their meaning in order to build a tendentious case.
Again, how do the fact checkers’ words show Trump’s quote was wrong? They don’t. It did become known as Obama’s ‘apology tour.’
When you have a highly segregated city, and you have a sheriff who makes statements claiming there has been no police brutality since the 1960s, you have an unresponsive law enforcement problem. Under Scott Walker, support for the most impoverished areas was sharply cut, creating far more tensions and stresses.
State wide republican government has done a similar amount of harm with their legislative actions which have further weakened support to struggling communities, while making it harder for those communities to participate in voting.
That is remarkably similar to Jim Crow southern problems.
Or were you going to claim that was something the Dems did? Please show your sources. Again – conservatives seem to be struggling with understanding causation.
I don’t see your evidence that Milwaukee is democratic, or that anything done by democrats has a causational relationship to the violence.
Right Wing Watch is not a news site it is a crackpot site. It’s rubbish, it is media sewage.
Doncha just love DG’s standards? “RedState” isn’t a good source, but RWW, somehow, is.
DG, since you never, ever read the response to your little screeds, you likely don’t know how many of the “sources” you cite wind up not only getting debunked, but how many turn out to actually undercut your claims and support mine.
you have a sheriff who makes statements claiming there has been no police brutality since the 1960s
No systematic brutality.
Why would you have us believe he was wrong?
State wide republican government has done a similar amount of harm with their legislative actions which have further weakened support to struggling communities
Chanting point.
“Progressives” ran Wisconsin unopposed for 50 years. They’ve run Milwaukee unopposed for nearly 100 years.
Walker inherited a city rotted to the core by progressivism.
And as noted elsewhere, it shows; the rest of WI is doing quite well. The part from MKE to the IL border is the lagging outlier.
Blaming Walker is like blaming Bush; it’s caricature fodder.
Wrongo Mitch. The problem is not defined by Milwaukee city boundaries. The Milwaukee METRO area is what is at issue here, and there is a large part of THAT which overlaps jurisdictions with the city proper of Milwaukee that is Republican.
That is not true of other parts of Hennepin County being considered part of Minneapolis or the larger Minneapolis metro area, the way the closer surrounding suburbs are.
When you look at that mix, there is far stronger mix of Republicans dominating the politics of the Milwaukee metro area than there is a comparable percentage of Republicans determining what happens in and around Minneapolis.
Still waiting Mitch for your causation evidence that Dems or any of their specific policies or politics caused these riots.
You can dance around anything else all you like; you haven’t done well so far on those, but on your foundational claim about Dems and the rioting, you are an epic failure.
“When you have a highly segregated city”
So DG lives in Downtown Saint Paul? Or is it only other people that are bad because they avoid life in an urban hellhole?
DG pooped out: “State wide republican government has done a similar amount of harm with their legislative actions which have further weakened support to struggling communities”
(Raising hand) Oh oh! I got this one.
As a guy who lived in Milwaukee, and whose preschool was just a few blocks from where the riots were (40-somethingth and Burleigh), and had frequented that neighborhood for years and years after, I can speak to this one.
Sherman Park was never the greatest neighborhood, but it really didn’t become a total shithole until the mid-2000’s, when Gerry Doyle was governor. He was a Democrat. Very very Democrat.
DG,
This is a strawman unworthy of a fairly average seventh-grader:
Still waiting Mitch for your causation evidence that Dems or any of their specific policies or politics caused these riots
Never said it was direct causation. Your strawman is clumsy and frankly bizarre.
But have you noticed how poverty is deeper, violence is more endemic, and police are more prone to brutality in cities that have been one-party Democrat cesspools for decades?
(Rhetorical question: wannabee muckrakers who live in placid exurbs haven’t the foggiest clue about urban blight).
Here’s a question, DG: did you notice how Dallas responded to the murder of its six cops? That is the function of a city with responsive, multiparty politics.
No, I don’t suspect you have a clue about any of this.
Huh.
So you’re saying that Republicans have a significant amount of power in Milwaukee poltics?
More than Republicans have in Hennepin County?
If so, say so. Because I’m not sure what you’re getting at, and I’m damn certain you’re not.
You know, sometimes even a useful idiot outlives its purpose when they become too idiotic to be useful.
“The Milwaukee metro area is what is at issue . . . .” I don’t understand why that would be so.
If I was studying gun violence in Hennepin County, I would look at hard at Minneapolis because that’s where most of it occurs. Local politics in the cities of Greenfield, Deephaven and Minnetrista would not enter into it.
Why is the Milwaukee Metro area different?
I have to wonder if BLM–or the socialists pulling the strings behind it–deliberately chose to have problems in MIwaukee to embarrass the pro-gun county Sheriff. Or is there just a large portion of the black/liberal electorate that believes that the county is worse off when a gun-wielding career criminal assumes room temperature after threatening a cop?
BLM is a terror group. I never thought I’d see the day where (outside of conspiracy theory crap) infowars becomes a legitmate news source.
