Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, officials announced Tuesday that three anti-racism protesters will face charges for disrupting restaurant diners over Labor Day weekend &#8212; an incident, caught on video, that commanded the attention of President Donald Trump
Video of the incident, which shows demonstrators harassing largely elderly diners at a downtown Pittsburgh restaurant, went viral earlier in September. The video, The Daily Wire reported, &#8220;shows protesters moving in on a group of diners eating outside, yelling loudly about &#8216;racism&#8217; through a megaphone. Some diners leave, but others stand firm as protesters scream slogans, flash middle fingers, and even steal drinks.&#8221;
The protesters make obscene gestures, and, at one point, one demonstrator, recently identified as Monique Craft, grabs a diner&#8217;s beer and chugs it.

“One of the videos that were posted online appeared to show a man holding a megaphone calling diners at the establishment an ’embarrassment,&#8217;” <a href="https://www.wtae.com/article/pittsburgh-police-investigate-after-videos-surface-of-protesters-clashing-with-the-public/33936245">Fox News added</a>. “Some of the diners can be seen getting up from their seats.”
“Another protester could be seen giving an elderly couple the middle finger before someone else walks over to the pair, takes what appears to be a full glass of beer, and drinks the entire glass. Another protester reportedly smashed a wine glass,” the outlet continued.
President Donald Trump used the incident to demonstrate why Democrats could not be trusted to handle unrest.
“These Anarchists, not protesters, are Biden voters, but he has no control and nothing to say. And because of weak and pathetic Democrat leadership, this thuggery is happening in other Democrat run cities and states. Must shut them down fast,&#8221; he tweeted. “Biden and his most Liberal in Senate running mate, Kamala, won’t even talk about it. They won’t utter the words, LAW &amp; ORDER!”
Pittsburgh police, who said they were looking into the incident, issued charges today against Craft and two other protesters, Shawn Green, Kenneth McDowell.
&#8220;Craft, 35, who identifies as nonbinary, was charged by summons with theft, conspiracy and simple trespass,&#8221; Fox News reported, adding that Craft, who is visible in the video wearing a &#8220;Nazi Lives Don&#8217;t Matter&#8221; shirt, says they were offered the beer.
&#8220;McDowell, 33, was charged with possessing instruments of a crime, conspiracy, harassment and two counts of disorderly conduct,&#8221; the outlet continued. &#8220;Green, 24, faces charges of disorderly conduct, conspiracy, criminal mischief, and simple trespass.&#8221;
McDowell screamed obscenities as diners; Green swore at diners and made the obscene gestures.
Demonstrators claim the video shows only one side of the incident and that the restaurant diners were combative.
“People were starting to get aggressive towards us because they didn’t see what happened. But the other people actually didn’t care. They got up out of their seats and moved to the side so that we could address the people who actually were making remarks,” one demonstrator told local media. “Like, ‘oh we’re an embarrassment and we’re disgusting.’ But we can’t be the embarrassment and disgusting people when we’re peacefully saying stop killing our brothers and sisters and someone can come in and throw blows.”

Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), who lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan, was leaving the Republican National Convention Thursday night when a group of Black Lives Matter activists surrounded him and began screaming questions at him.
Mast remained calm and collected throughout the event, as the lead instigator &#8212; a white woman &#8212; screamed a question at him: “What do you think about police killing black people in this country?”
Just prior to that, Daily Caller reporter Phillip Nieto was walking with Mast and filming him as he asked questions.
“What do you think of all these protests?” Nieto asked Mast.
“Everyone has a right to protest,” Mast replied. “That’s a beautiful thing.”
“You’re not afraid for your safety?” Nieto then asked.
“No,” Mast said, before the camera turned to show a group of activists following the congressman and closing in on him. “Should I be?”
At this point, a white woman with blond hair wearing all black approached Mast and asked angrily: “What do you think about police killing black people in this country?”
Mast didn’t immediately respond, so she asked her question again, this time louder. This time, Mast responded by telling her: “I don’t think anybody should get killed wrongly.”
This didn’t satisfy the woman or the crowd, so she yelled her question at him again. Mast responded that people have a “right to due process,” and the woman demanded he “answer the question that I am asking.”
Another person in the crowd asked: “How do you feel about abolition?”
“No! Answer the question. How do you feel about police killing black people in this country? In this city?” the white woman demanded.
“Anybody has a right to due process,” Mast replied.
The white woman then shouted her question at Mast, emphasizing each word.
Mast responded by telling her “it is morally wrong to take anybody’s life,” as several people in the crowd shout, “black people.”
The camera then showed that a larger crowd had formed around the congressman, and he begins walking away as they continue to shout at him.

Mast lost his legs nearly a decade ago, when he was 31, after being injured in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Offensive jokes he made to his friend &#8212; who is now his campaign manager &#8212; during that time have recently resurfaced as he faces a tough re-election campaign.
In 2011, Mast responded to a Facebook post from his friend and now-campaign manager Rocco LeDonni asking for pick-up lines by saying, “How about don’t turn this rape into a murder.” In another post, Mast joked about having sex with 15-year-old girls overseas. Mast apologized for the posts as soon as they were reported.
&#8220;A decade ago when I was in the Army, and following my injury, I made disgusting and inappropriate jokes that I am embarrassed to have associated with my name today,&#8221; Mast, who is now 40, said in a statement <a href="https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/26/u-s-rep-brian-mast-under-fire-old-facebook-comments-rape/3441664001/">published</a> by the TC Palm. &#8220;I am sorry about that part of who I was, and I strive every day to be a better example for my kids.&#8221;

Late Saturday night, one young leftist in Portland called the cops “motherf***ers,” pulled off his shirt, and charged bare-chested into the line of police. For his efforts, he was pepper-sprayed twice – because after the first round, the man tried charging the police again, appearing to shout, “Keep your hands off! [That’s] my f***ing girlfriend!”
After the second round, the man stumbled away, falling to his knees as one of his compatriots repeatedly screamed, “Medic! We need a medic!”
After being helped to his feet by two others, the man once again walked toward the police. At that point, he was hit by what appears to be a non-lethal projectile. After the pepper-sprayed leftist fell to his knees, someone, seemingly the man himself, yelled back at the police, “You f***ing touch her, I’ll kill you!”
As he and two others began to move away, the police charged after the group and held them down on the ground.

The Portland Police Department released a <a href="https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/news/read.cfm?id=261099&amp;ec=1&amp;ch=twitter">statement</a> saying that the rioters chanted &#8220;kill a cop, save a life,” and, &#8220;What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now! If we don&#8217;t get it, burn it down!&#8221;
Last Monday, at the end of the White House press briefing conducted by White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, McEnany took a shot at Portland mayor Ted Wheeler, remarking that after the abuse he hurled at federal forces intervening in Portland, he acknowledged last week that the actions of leftist activists at protests could be lethal. McEnany snapped, “It took him 73 days I suppose to come up with that realization.”
She added, “Finally, one thing I want to leave you guys with is that 18 days ago, Mayor Ted Wheeler tweeted, ‘What I saw last night in Portland was powerful in many ways. I listened, heard and stood with protesters and I saw what it means when the federal government unleashes paramilitary forces against its own people.’”
“He, in fact, called our federal agents paramilitary forces, and around this same time our federal officers were facing rioters barricading officers inside the courthouse, trapping officers inside, launching of commercial-grade fireworks, a federal agent’s hand was impaled by planted nails, three officers were likely, were at least temporarily I should say, blinded when a laser was put in their eyes. This has been an ongoing tactic by the rioters,” McEnany continued.
“That was 18 days ago when Mayor Wheeler stood with the rioters and against the ‘paramilitary forces,’ but just four days ago, it appears Mayor Wheeler had a change of heart as local officers took over the situation in Portland and he now — I guess this is what he believes now: ‘When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating; you are attempting to commit murder,'&#8221; she concluded.

A Seattle man was brutally assaulted and transported to the hospital last week after he confronted noisy protesters outside his home at around midnight, allegedly asking them to quiet down so he could get some sleep.
&#8220;Detectives are investigating after a 47-year-old man was assaulted early Thursday after confronting protesters in the Queen Anne neighborhood,&#8221; the Seattle Police Department blotter <a href="https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2020/07/30/detectives-investigating-after-man-assaulted-during-queen-anne-protest/">posted</a> on Thursday.
The man suffered a head injury after protesters allegedly flashed lasers at his eyes and hit him on the head with what was “possibly a flashlight.”
Video of the incident, which was shared by KIRO 7 News, shows the man on the ground following the apparent assault.
&#8220;Officers spoke with multiple witnesses who confirmed the victim’s story, found surveillance cameras that may have captured the incident, and took photos of blood splatter at the crime scene,&#8221; the blotter outlined.
The victim was brought to the Swedish Hospital by family members after the alleged assault.
According to the victim, while he was on the ground and possibly concussed, one of the protesters erased the video of the confrontation he took on his phone.
&#8220;The victim told officers that around 12 am, he was attempting to sleep but was kept awake by a protest that had been making its way through the neighborhood,&#8221; the police blotter stated. &#8220;He said that he went outside his home near 10th Ave W and W Lee Street and asked the crowd to quiet down so that he could sleep, video recording the confrontation on his phone.&#8221;
&#8220;The man said that members of the protest became angry that he was recording them, flashed laser pointers in his eyes, and then struck him in the head with a blunt object, possibly a flashlight,&#8221; the report noted. &#8220;Several other protesters provided first aid to the victim while, according to the victim, a person with the protest deleted the video on his phone. A family member transported the victim to the hospital, where he met with police.&#8221;
Portions of the confrontation were posted online and obtained by KIRO 7 News.
&#8220;What is your problem here?” one of the protesters is heard asking the alleged victim before the apparent assault. &#8220;I have no problem,&#8221; the alleged victim responds. &#8220;So, why are you over here?” the protester asks.
&#8220;Moments later,&#8221; KIRO 7 News reported, &#8220;the video shows the man lying on the ground with some people watching clearly upset by what had just happened.&#8221;
Neighbor Jean Albrecht recalled of the protesters to the news station, &#8220;It was the middle of the night, and it was quite loud.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t like to see people getting hurt, on either side,&#8221; she added.
&#8220;There was a loud noise, [and] a commotion,&#8221; another neighbor said, &#8220;the people I saw around him were not hurting him; they were trying to help him up.&#8221;

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt responded to Friday night&#8217;s breaking news that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-warrant-served-on-st-louis-couple-who-defended-private-property-guns-confiscated-report-says">a search warrant was served and at least one gun confiscated from the St. Louis couple who defended their home last month from an angry mob</a> by saying that the Democrat prosecutor who was handling the decision has an alleged track record of making politically motivated decisions.
&#8220;I know this is being handled by a local prosecutor, not something you’d be involved with, but what is your take on what we’re seeing tonight?&#8221; Fox News host Shannon Bream asked Schmitt. &#8220;The local warrant there signed off by a judge and being executed by St. Louis police?&#8221;
&#8220;Under Missouri law, under the Castle Doctrine, the individual has really expansive authority to protect their own lives, their home, and their property, and I think the story here to watch is the local prosecutor, Kim Gardner,&#8221; Schmitt responded. &#8220;Kim Gardner has an abysmal record in prosecuting violent crime, has recently released and been complicit in the release of dozens and dozens of inmates who have been charged with violent crimes, and has a record of making politically motivated decisions not based on the law. So, this is certainly something to watch.&#8221;
&#8220;One important factor here is this was a private street. This was not a public street,&#8221; Schmitt continued. &#8220;These individuals were on their way to the mayor’s house, actually, which has been vandalized several times. This was on a private street, and if you listen to the McCloskeys, they felt threatened, that they were going to be attacked, and that it was made known to them. They made known to the protesters and the people who came by that this was a private street, and they said they were going to murder them and come into their house, and so, as I said, the Castle Doctrine in Missouri is pretty expansive; it allows you to defend your life, obviously your family’s life, your home, but also your property, and this was on private property.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s hard to get into the mind of Kim Gardner. As I said, she has a sketchy track record of making politically-based decisions,&#8221; Schmitt continued. &#8220;And I would also point out, Shannon, that this very same day—there&#8217;s been calls to change the name of St. Louis, which is ridiculous—and there were peaceful folks praying at the base of that statue who were assaulted, and those folks haven’t been charged with anything, so again, Kim Gardner’s track record is certainly suspect.&#8221;

Law enforcement officials in St. Louis have allegedly served a warrant on the St. Louis couple who recently defended their home when a large mob of angry demonstrators allegedly trespassed onto their private property.
“5 On Your Side has learned St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted protesters with weapons in June,” KSDK News <a href="https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/mccloskeys-served-with-warrant-police-take-rifle-shown-in-viral-pictures-st-louis-protests/63-c6059a94-528c-4fa5-8fea-4a87fba31f1c">reported</a>. “Sources tell 5 On Your Side police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos.”
Fox News host Shannon Bream confirmed the news in a tweet, writing, &#8220;BREAKING: Warrant reportedly served on St. Louis couple who stood outside their home with weapons as protesters approached.

The left-wing demonstrators returned to the couple&#8217;s home last week and were met by private security that was guarding the home.

It was about as bad as you can get. You know, I really thought it was the storming of Bastille, that we would be dead and the house would be burned and there was nothing we could do about it. It was a huge and frightening crowd and they broke in the gate and they were coming at us.”
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat, claimed that the McCloskey&#8217;s defending their private property was a &#8220;violent assault&#8221; and that authorities “will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable.”
Albert Watkins, the McCloskeys’ attorney, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/st-louis-gun-couple-investigated-clash-protesters">told</a> Fox News that &#8220;If Kimberly Gardner wants to press charges against two attorneys who are protecting their home and their family and themselves on their own property, I will tell you that it will be nothing short of the proverbial cluster f***.&#8221;

Armed residents in St. Louis, Missouri, reportedly guarded their property on Sunday evening as demonstrators marched through their neighborhood.
Columbia Missourian journalist Daniel Shular recorded a video of the couple and posted in on Twitter, writing: &#8220;A couple has come out of their house and is pointing guns at protesters in their neighborhood.&#8221;
Other videos of the incident that were available online showed demonstrators screaming obscenities at the couple and threatening to take their firearms away from them.

It appeared as though the demonstrator&#8217;s desired final destination was the mayor&#8217;s house, where they repeatedly called on her to resign.
The calls for St. Louis Democrat Mayor Lyda Krewson to resign began on Saturday after a news conference where she read during a Facebook Live video the names and addresses of residents who were calling to defund the police.
Krewson later <a href="https://www.kmov.com/news/lyda-krewson-reads-names-addresses-of-demonstrators-calling-for-police-reform-during-facebook-live/article_9452a884-b81f-11ea-b03b-bf8949a0ebeb.html">issued</a> an apology for her actions, saying, &#8220;Tonight, I would like to apologize for identifying individuals who presented letters to me at City Hall as I was answering a routine question during one of my updates earlier today.

The protests, many of which have spun off into riots, began around a month ago after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The widespread looting, attacks on law enforcement, and destruction of businesses and property quickly spread from Minneapolis to other cities across the country. After this continued for several days, the riots slowly morphed into destroying statues, monuments, and memorials across the country.

A young woman tried to lecture a white Metropolitan Police Department officer in Washington, D.C., this week during a protest and was ultimately shutdown by two black police officers who came to the defense of their fellow police officer.
The woman, a leftist, tried to lecture the police officer about racism as he got a call from his black wife.
&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;re not racist, sir,&#8221; the woman shouted. &#8220;Just because you have one black friend or a black wife. You can still be racist. It has nothing to do with your acquaintances.&#8221;
A black police officer entered the picture to explain to her that they were moving away from her because she had a &#8220;one-track mind&#8221; and it was impossible to have a conversation with her.
The woman said that she was talking to the &#8220;white&#8221; police officer, to which the black police officer asked, &#8220;Oh, because I can&#8217;t be racist, right?&#8221;
&#8220;Systemically, systemically no sir,&#8221; the woman shouted. &#8220;Systemically racism can only be white. Systemically sir, individually it can be a different color but systemically it can only be white.&#8221;
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t fit your agenda, you don&#8217;t want to hear that conversation,&#8221; the officer responded.
A few minutes later the conversation escalated after the woman apparently called the white police officer a liar and supposedly demanded to see a picture of his black wife.
A second black police officer rushed in and said, &#8220;How dare you ask for this man&#8217;s family.&#8221;
&#8220;You don&#8217;t know him. You don&#8217;t know him,&#8221; the officer continued. &#8220;Why would you assume that because he&#8217;s white he can&#8217;t have a black wife? Why would you? I&#8217;m just curious. Let me, let me tell you something.&#8221;
The officer started to walk toward the woman, to which she began to pull away, saying, &#8220;You&#8217;re not wearing a mask, sir. I don&#8217;t want to get COVID.&#8221;
&#8220;America has a sin problem. The world has a sin problem ma&#8217;am, okay?&#8221; the police officer continued. &#8220;Jesus said, &#8216;I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Me.&#8217; America and the world has a sin problem. You understand me? That&#8217;s where racism, injustice, and hate and anger and violence come from. It&#8217;s not about racism.&#8221;
&#8220;You understand me?&#8221; the police officer continued. &#8220;Read the Bible. Read the Bible.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>OFFICER 1: A black person born into privilege or power is white?
WOMAN: Yes sir, a white person.
OFFICER 1: We&#8217;re done. My black wife if calling me. I&#8217;m going to have a conversation.
WOMAN: That doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;re not racist, sir. Just because you have one black friend or a black wife. You can still be racist. It has nothing to do with your acquaintances. &#8230; Wow it must have been so intimidating if all the police move that way. That&#8217;s impressive. Just of a little drawing.
OFFICER 2: It&#8217;s not intimidating. It&#8217;s just we&#8217;re trying to have a conversation and you have a one-track mind. There&#8217;s no point in having a conversation anymore.
WOMAN: Amazing, everyone moved that way.
OFFICER 2: You have to be able to be open to both sides of the story.
WOMAN: Amazing sir, amazing everyone&#8217;s moved over. Impressive, they couldn&#8217;t even handle it.
OFFICER 2: You can&#8217;t have a conversation if that&#8217;s the way you think.
WOMAN: I wasn&#8217;t talking to you sir, I was talking to the white dude.
OFFICER 2: Oh, because I can&#8217;t be racist, right?
WOMAN: No sir, I was talking to him. Systemically, systemically no sir. Systemically racism can only be white. Systemically sir, individually it can be a different color but systemically it can only be white.
OFFICER 2: It doesn&#8217;t fit your agenda, you don&#8217;t want to hear that conversation.
WOMAN: It&#8217;s not an agenda. It&#8217;s the past, the present, and hopefully not the future, sir. &#8230; Good, I hope that you&#8217;re an anti-racist then.
OFFICER 1: How can I be? I mean, I&#8217;m white.
OFFICER 2: You just called him a liar, saying, &#8216;you don&#8217;t have a black wife and black children.&#8221; You just called him a liar.
WOMAN: Yeah, I did. I wanted to see a picture.
OFFICER 2: There&#8217;s just no getting through to you.
WOMAN: I wanted to see his picture to believe him.
OFFICER 3: How dare you ask for this man&#8217;s family.
OFFICER 2: You don&#8217;t know nothing about him.
OFFICER 3: You don&#8217;t know him. You don&#8217;t know him. No, no, no, no, no, no. Why would you assume that because he&#8217;s white he can&#8217;t have a black wife? Why would you? I&#8217;m just curious. Let me, let tell you something.
[Woman starts walking away]
OFFICER 3: No, no, no, let me tell you something.
WOMAN: You&#8217;re not wearing a mask, sir. I don&#8217;t want to get COVID.
OFFICER 3: America has a sin problem. The world has a sin problem ma&#8217;am, okay? Jesus said, &#8216;I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

It&#8217;s not about racism.
OFFICER 4: You can be racist whether you&#8217;re black or white.
WOMAN: Absolutely.
OFFICER 3: You understand me? Read the Bible. Read the Bible.</blockquote>

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has again become the target of protesters’ ire as a group chanted “No justice, no sleep” outside his home.
As The Hill reported, protesters with the progressive Sunrise Movement, a left-wing environmental group, yelled outside McConnell’s home while holding signs.
&#8220;No justice, no sleep Mitch. You let our economy tumble into free-fall, our people be gunned down in the streets by killer cops, &amp; our planet be ravaged by your oil CEO friends. This #Juneteenth, we&#8217;re wide awake. In November when we vote you out, maybe you&#8217;ll wake up, too,&#8221; the group, which is verified on Twitter, tweeted.
It’s anyone’s guess how it is McConnell’s fault that the economy “tumble[d] into free-fall” when it was state governors who ordered businesses to close amid concerns over the novel coronavirus. Also, unarmed black men were “gunned down in the streets by killer cops” during the Obama administration as well, yet somehow a cop-involved death in Minneapolis is also McConnell’s fault.
One banner at the protest read, &#8220;Breonna couldn&#8217;t sleep. Neither should Mitch,&#8221; in reference to the police shooting of Breonna Taylor. Taylor was unarmed in her home when police executed a “no-knock warrant” looking for drugs. They found none, yet Taylor was shot and killed. The incident occurred in Louisville, Kentucky.
Before the protests, McConnell filed a resolution that called Taylor’s shooting an “apparent instance of unjust police violence” and is working to pass a bill introduced by GOP senators that offer numerous police reforms, including police departments report when they use a “no-knock warrant,” but that apparently wasn’t satisfactory to the protesters.
&#8220;We will require new transparency and new reporting from state and local authorities so that surrounding communities and the federal government can all better understand how, when and why this practice is used,&#8221; McConnell said Wednesday.
More from The Hill:
<blockquote>The demonstration comes on Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S. It also comes amid the backdrop of a national conversation about police brutality against black Americans after the police killings of Taylor, George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks, among others.
&#8220;Not only are we wide awake to the problems that we face,&#8221; Maxwell Farrar, 29, <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2020/06/19/louisville-protesters-march-mitch-mcconnells-home-juneteenth/3220578001/">told the Courier Journal</a>, &#8220;but we&#8217;re also wide awake to the solutions that we need. We&#8217;re not here to just complain on the internet. We&#8217;re here to get the solutions we need. We know, from the hood to the holler, Kentuckians know we need change right now.&#8221;</blockquote>
McConnell has been targeted by protesters before. In August 2019, left-wing protesters went to McConnell’s home, where one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/far-left-protesters-mcconnells-home-just-stab-ryan-saavedra">hoped</a> somebody would “just stab the mother f***er in the heart, please.” In October 2018, McConnell was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-mitch-mcconnell-confronted-protesters-ashe-schow">harassed</a> as he ate at a restaurant with his wife.

During an interview with The Appeal posted on Friday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti walked back his previous endorsement of District Attorney Jackie Lacey, who has been the target of activists who claim she hasn’t prosecuted enough police officers throughout her two terms.
“Do you still support your endorsement of District Attorney Lacey? Is it time for a change in that office,” Matt Ferner, editor-in-chief of The Appeal, asked Garcetti.
“It may be,” said Garcetti, who previously endorsed Lacey, the county’s first African American district attorney, for a third term.
The mayor then appeared to suggest district attorney candidate George Gascon, a former assistant LAPD chief and San Francisco district attorney, may be better suited for the position, after briefly talking about the difficulty of prosecuting police officers.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for George Gascon too. I’ve served alongside him, it was before he entered the race – my endorsement was with Ms. Lacey. But I want to continue that she does the job she should be doing, and I want to make sure that that office, no matter who’s in it, is going after folks who commit crimes,” said Garcetti.

According to <a href="https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/mayor-garcetti-jackie-lacey-endorsement/">Los Angeles Magazine</a>, a spokesperson for the district attorney said Garcetti didn’t contact Lacey’s office prior to his comments on the race.

“Every Weds for the last few years Black Lives Matter LA has gathered in front of City Hall to demand the resignation of D.A. Jackie Lacey and to grieve with mothers mourning the loss of their children to police brutality,” said Madonna on Instagram. “I urge you to join them next Wed. And every Wed. I did today and had the honor of meeting these two compelling and impassioned activists.”

Lacey recently told <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/jackie-lacey-responds-to-backlash-in-wake-of-social-justice-movement">Fox 11 News </a>that she has filed 23 cases of excessive force against police officers, cases which she says are tough, hard to file, and &#8220;hard to analyze.” The district attorney&#8217;s office told the news agency that eight of those cases reached conviction through trial or plea deal, and eight are still pending. Six of the cases were acquitted, and one was dismissed. 
&#8220;If you look at my record though, I believe that we’ve been on the right side – we’ve prosecuted those cases that we could, and those cases where we didn’t have the evidence, we did not,&#8221; said Lacey.
While protests across the country have been widespread in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, Lacey was already facing criticism from Black Lives Matter protesters. On the eve of her primary election, around 5:40am, protesters descended on her home, prompting her husband to pull a gun on several who stepped onto their porch and allegedly wanted to speak with the district attorney.
A video of the confrontation was posted to Twitter by Melina Abdullah, a Black Lives Matter organizer and professor of Pan African Studies at CSU Los Angeles.

Lacey’s husband <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/la-da-responds-after-husband-points-gun-at-black-lives-matter-protesters-our-home-is-our-sanctuary">apologized</a> for the incident soon after, and the district attorney described the threats she had been receiving and said that protestors should stay away from her home.
“All of this is because I chose to do my job,” said Lacey. “We expect that people will exercise their First Amendment right. But our home is our sanctuary, and we do not believe – I do not believe – it is fair or right for protesters to show up at the homes of people who dedicate their lives to public service.”
As The Daily Wire previously reported, Abdullah has also accused Lacey of not keeping a promise to host a community meeting with Black Lives Matter activists. During a press conference addressing the incident outside her home, Lacey affirmed that she has been willing to meet with BLM activists, but that the group only wants large events, not small gatherings or one-on-one meetings.
“It seems like what they like is to embarrass me and intimidate me,” said Lacey. “My hope is that one day that might change. That maybe, just maybe, if I keep reaching out, that someone will want to sit down and have a conversation that’s productive.”
Earlier this month, Lacey told <a href="https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/inside-the-issues/2020/06/05/la-county-district-attorney-jackie-lacey---let-s-sit-down-and-talk-">Spectrum News 1</a> that she regularly tried meeting with protesters before the death of George Floyd, but suggested that the meetings have not been fruitful: “I was meeting with Black Lives Matter regularly before the protests started happening outside my office, and their request was to come out and meet with a large group.”
“We tried that, and it really disintegrated as there was a lot of yelling and screaming, and they wouldn&#8217;t even allow me to talk. That&#8217;s how bad it was. At least with the mayor, they allow the mayor to speak his mind and to answer. And that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m asking for is to be treated with the same respect that you treat other leaders in these positions,” she said.

L.A. Mayor Appears To Walk Back Endorsement Of DA Facing Heat From Black Lives Matter, Protestors

During an interview with The Appeal posted on Friday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti walked back his previous endorsement of District Attorney Jackie

The New York Police Department (NYPD) reportedly took a protester into custody after he allegedly threatened to burn down the Diamond District during a live television interview on Fox News.
“You know, I’m a leader of this FTP movement,” the man <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protester-in-new-york-city-appears-to-threaten-to-burn-down-the-diamond-district-if-leaders-do-not-meet-demands">said</a>. “It means a lot of things. It can mean free the people, it can mean for the people, it could also mean fire to property – and that’s very possible.”
“Today, I’m leading a demonstration from Barclay’s Center at 6 p.m. to City Hall, and that’s the first stop – and we’re hoping [New York City Mayor Bill] De Blasio and [New York Governor Andrew] Cuomo come out and talk to us and give the youth some direction,” the man continued. “But if they don’t, then [the] next stop is the Diamond District. And gasoline, thanks to Trump, is awfully cheap. So we’re giving them a chance right now to do the right thing.”
Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, who interviewed the man, later tweeted: &#8220;JUST NOW: police arrest man from my earlier interview who made apparent threat on air to bring gasoline to diamond district.&#8221;

After the man&#8217;s remarks aired on national television, Fox News host Eric Shawn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protester-in-new-york-city-appears-to-threaten-to-burn-down-the-diamond-district-if-leaders-do-not-meet-demands">responded</a> by saying, “Those are outrageous words to say. Basically that person was basically suggesting that they plan to go to the diamond district, which is run basically by Orthodox Jews here in New York City – certainly hope that is not the case and we do not endorse – in fact, we condemn that type of language here on the Fox News channel. Someone saying that certainly should be called out in terms of any type of potential threat of any sort that we just heard live from someone who interviewed here on this channel.”
The man&#8217;s remarks come as widespread rioting and looting have plagued New York City in recent days as protests over the death of George Floyd have often seemingly spiraled out of control when the sun goes down.
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) responded to the Fox News segment by writing on Twitter: “This is a disgusting threat and exactly why the National Guard should already have been sent to NYC days ago to back up the NYPD and help maintain order.”

Let’s stop pretending this is just some beautifully peaceful expression of protest. It’s not. Too many heads are dangerously buried in the sand right now.&#8221;
Zeldin added, &#8220;Where is @NYCMayor and why hasn’t he requested the National Guard yet to help the NYPD save New York City?

Rapper Trina unloaded on looters and violent rioters in the Miami area this week on radio, saying that the curfew in the area should be extended to keep &#8220;these animals off the streets.&#8221;
“They need to make the curfew at 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., that’s how I feel. Keep everybody off the streets, these animals off the streets that are running around in Miami-Dade County acting like they have escaped from a zoo,&#8221; Trina said. &#8220;Lock them up at 5 p.m. so the streets can be nice and clean, that’s how I feel.”
Trina was angry that people were using the protests to &#8220;tear up our cities, run through and tear up our schools and burn our stuff and break in our stores.&#8221;
When rapper Trick Daddy responded to her by saying that everything was always personal with her, she responded,  “Yes, it’s definitely personal. It’s definitely personal because I feel like at the end of the day, at the end, she got insurance but she also been locked down for 60 days also like us, and she also don’t have money like me so I don’t approve of it. Period. I don’t approve of it. Period.”
“We can’t bring back nobody’s lives that have been taken away whether it was from the police or in the hands of another civilian,&#8221; Trina continued. &#8220;We can’t bring them back. We cannot. We cannot bring them back. You cannot pump life back into them at all. I can’t bring back my little brother’s life, his life was taken by the hands of a man. A black man. I can’t bring his life back.”
Trick Daddy responded, “We’re talking about black lives—”
“[It’s] the black lives that matter, right?&#8221; Trina responded. &#8220;The same black lives that are taken from the hands of other black people, those matter too, huh?&#8221;
“What I won’t do, I won’t compare—” Trick Daddy began to respond before getting cut off.
“You ain’t got to compare it, you ain’t got to compare it. I’m living in the life of it. It’s no comparison. I feel the same way. It’s no exception,&#8221; Trina said. “A life is a life. Period. Period. A life is a life, no matter how it was taken. Whether it was a car accident, whether it was from the police, whether it was from the hands of another black man. A life was taken. Simple.”
“I have so much to say Miami. I am fired up. I am pissed off and I am ready today,&#8221; Trina continued. &#8220;I know what I want to say. I have everything I want to say and not you and nobody else ain’t going to tell me how to say it. … All y’all fake for the protests and the fake ‘Oh, we so concerned about George Floyd.’ Half of y’all are marching and not even caring about this man, people out there just doing maliciously.”

A protester in New York City who appeared on Fox News on live television Saturday afternoon appeared to threaten to burn down the Diamond District in New York City if top Democratic leaders in the state do not meet the demands of the protesters.
&#8220;You know, I&#8217;m a leader of this FTP movement,&#8221; the man began. &#8220;It means a lot of things. It can mean free the people, it can mean for the people, it could also mean fire to property – and that&#8217;s very possible.&#8221;

Protester In New York City Appears To Threaten To Burn Down The Diamond District If Leaders Do Not Meet Demands

A protester in New York City who appeared on Fox News on live television Saturday afternoon appeared to threaten to burn down the Diamond District in New

Celebrities couldn’t wait to bail out protesters who helped turn the Twin Cities into a war zone.
The May 25 death of Minnesota resident George Floyd set off a wave of protests which quickly turned violent across the country. Just as quickly Hollywood stars praised the protests, some even <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/hollywood-stars-douse-riots-digital-gasoline">cheering the violence</a> that came with them.
Other stars took it one step further.
They opened their wallets and purses for the <a href="https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/">Minnesota Freedom Fund</a>. The nonprofit helps pay bail for low-income citizens. Among the stars who <a href="https://variety.com/2020/film/news/celebrities-donate-minnesota-freedom-fund-1234621113/">publicly announced</a> they sent money to the Fund:
<ul>
<li>Steve Carell, “Space Force,” “The Office”</li>
<li>Seth Rogen, “Knocked Up,” “The Interview”</li>
<li>Jameela Jamil, “The Good Place”</li>
<li>Ben Schwartz, “Standing Up, Falling Down,” “Space Force”</li>
<li>Patton Oswalt, “Ratatouille,” “The Goldbergs”</li>
<li>Janelle Monae, Amazon’s “Homecoming” Season Two</li>
<li>Rob Delaney, “Catastrophe,” “Deadpool 2”</li>
<li>Don Cheadle, “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Black Monday”</li>
</ul>
We reached out to these eight stars via their managers and press representatives. The site sent the following two questions to each, hoping for at least a prepared statement, if not a brief interview, on the subject.
<ul>
<li>Is Mr./Ms. [Fill-In-The-Blank] concerned that some of his/her donation could help protesters who committed violence/helped destroy part of the greater Minneapolis community?</li>
<li>Will Mr./Ms. [Fill-In-The-Blank] be donating any money to either personal GoFundMe pages or groups attempting to rebuild the minority-owned businesses destroyed by the protests?</li>
</ul>
The representatives had more than 24 hours to respond to the requests. The majority failed to do so.
Monae’s team shared this response: “Janelle is not available, but we appreciate you thinking of her.”
Rogen’s team’s response? “Unfortunately, he is not available to participate.”
It’s possible these stars will be giving some aid to innocents impacted by the riots. It’s equally likely that stand isn’t popular in Hollywood circles, or at least it’s not advisable to share on social media.
Another perspective? They have no plans to support those left to rebuild their businesses, and lives, from the ground up. Since the riots began, several GoFundMe pages have gone up to help those who lost so much in the mayhem.
Others may not be so lucky.
What’s beyond debate is the assembled stars don’t mind paying bail for some rioters. Police officers nationwide have let peaceful protesters mostly have their say. Some were arrested, but the majority of those ending up in the slammer are likely those committing crimes.
Arson. Theft. Aggravated assault.
Just recently, two lawyers were arrested on charges that <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/01/molotov-cocktail-tossing-lawyers-tried-to-pass-out-explosives-cops/">they threw a Molotov cocktail</a> “in the vicinity” of a police vehicle in New York City. Consider the case of <a href="https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/05/31/brian-bartels-wanted-for-starting-pittsburgh-riots/">Brian Bartels</a>, a man accused of sparking a riot in Pittsburgh by smashing a police car’s windows against the wishes of peaceful protesters.
The right-leaning Accuracy in Media (AIM) asked “liberty-loving Americans” to “hold the Hollywood elites accountable.” Email the stars’ “agents, managers, and PR people,” the group demanded.
“It’s easy for the actors to sit in their lofty mansions in Beverly Hills and post bail for looters. They’re so far removed in their bubble that the idea of consequences is lost on them. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans already suffering from a pandemic now have to face the very real prospect of losing their business to a gang of Antifa thugs!” said Adam Guillette, President of Accuracy In Media, in a statement. “As our cities burn, the criminals know an arrest is temporary. Once they’re bailed out, they can get back on the street and continue their destruction the next evening.”
On “<a href="https://www.compoundmedia.com/shows/all/10921">The Anthony Cumia Show</a>,” <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/dave-landau-interview/">co-host Dave Landau</a> excoriated Seth Rogen and company for their stance.
“You have celebrities going, ‘let’s donate money to get people out of jail who just bashed an old lady’s head in.’ How about we donate money to the black firefighter whose bar was burned down in Minneapolis?” he said.
“How about all the black elderly women and men that can’t get groceries now? Can you donate money to them?” Landau asked.
<a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/great-conservative-podcasts-bongino-klavan-rubin/">Conservative podcaster</a> and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino <a href="https://theunionjournal.com/bongino-slams-celebrities-bailing-out-rioters/">blistered the aforementioned stars</a>.
“The celebrity morons and epic life losers who think it’s a good idea to start a bail fund to bail out people slitting the throats of cops, engaging in attempted murder on the streets of Dallas, and beating the snot out of a guy in the streets of Portland, you disgust me,” he said.

An <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jyfn4Wd2i6bRi12ePghMHtX3ys1b7K1A/view">open letter</a> signed by almost 1,300 people which says the signers are “public health professionals, infectious diseases professionals, and community stakeholders” advocates for the current protests around the nation. The letter states, &#8220;In addressing demonstrations against white supremacy, our first statement must be one of unwavering support for those who would dismantle, uproot, or reform racist institutions.”
As <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/06/01/867200259/protests-over-racism-versus-risk-of-covid-i-wouldn-t-weigh-these-crises-separate?utm_campaign=npr&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_term=nprnews&amp;utm_medium=socia">NPR</a> noted, the letter was “initially written by infectious disease experts at the University of Washington.”
The letter begins by citing “heavily armed and predominantly white protesters” entering the State Capitol building in Lansing, Michigan, in late April to protest stay-home orders. Continuing, “Infectious disease physicians and public health officials publicly condemned these actions and privately mourned the widening rift between leaders in science and a subset of the communities that they serve,” the letter suddenly segues  to this:
<blockquote>As of May 30, we are witnessing continuing demonstrations in response to ongoing, pervasive, and lethal institutional racism set off by the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, among many other Black lives taken by police. A public health response to these demonstrations is also warranted, but this message must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders. Infectious disease and public health narratives adjacent to demonstrations against racism must be consciously anti-racist, and infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message.</blockquote>
The letter states:
<blockquote>White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19. Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police compared to white people, but the effects of racism are far more pervasive. Black people suffer from dramatic health disparities in life expectancy, maternal and infant mortality, chronic medical conditions, and outcomes from acute illnesses like myocardial infarction and sepsis.
Biological determinants are insufficient to explain these disparities. They result from long-standing systems of oppression and bias which have subjected people of color to discrimination in the healthcare setting, decreased access to medical care and healthy food, unsafe working conditions, mass incarceration, exposure to pollution and noise, and the toxic effects of stress. Black people are also more likely to develop COVID-19.</blockquote>
The letter argues, “COVID-19 among Black patients is yet another lethal manifestation of white supremacy. In addressing demonstrations against white supremacy, our first statement must be one of unwavering support for those who would dismantle, uproot, or reform racist institutions.”
After taking note of various methods to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the letter asserts, “To the extent possible, we support the application of these public health best practices during demonstrations that call attention to the pervasive lethal force of white supremacy. However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States.”
The letter advises, among other suggestions:
<blockquote>Support local and state governments in upholding the right to protest and allow protesters to gather. Do not disband protests under the guise of maintaining public health for COVID-19 restrictions.  Advocate that protesters not be arrested or held in confined spaces, including jails or police vans, which are some of the highest-risk areas for COVID-19 transmission.  Oppose any use of tear gas, smoke, or other respiratory irritants, which could increase risk for COVID-19 by making the respiratory tract more susceptible to infection, exacerbating existing inflammation, and inducing coughing.</blockquote>
More suggestions: &#8220;Reject messaging that face coverings are motivated by concealment and instead celebrate facecoverings as protective of the public’s health in the context of COVID-19. … Support the health of protesters by encouraging the following: Use of face coverings. Distance of at least 6 feet between protesters, where possible. Demonstrating consistently alongside close contacts and moving together as a group, rather than extensively intermingling with multiple groups.&#8221;

Fox News Los Angeles <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/hundreds-of-protesters-gather-in-downtown-la-to-rally-against-death-of-george-floyd">reports</a> that dozens of protesters stormed the 101 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday evening after reportedly meeting for a Black Lives Matter protest at the Hall of Justice. The protest was a demonstration against the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man who died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed Floyd’s neck to the ground with his knee.

Aerial footage from Fox News Los Angeles shows some of the protesters surrounding a police car and hitting it, with one of them causing the rear windshield to shatter. During the incident, at least two people can be seen mounting the hood of the car, and one of the people appears to injure themselves after jumping off of the vehicle as it drives away.
The person who fell was later taken in an ambulance but appeared to be conscious as they were taken away. A video of the protesters attacking the police car was posted on Twitter by Fox News LA anchor Marla Tellez.

ABC-7 reports that <a href="https://abc7.com/black-lives-matter-george-floyd-dtla-protest-downtown-la/6215968/">approximately</a> 500-1,000 people participated in the protest at the Hall of Justice, but it’s unclear exactly how many of those protesters later walked onto the freeway to block traffic. Fox News LA reports that the protest has continued on the surface streets near the freeway.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/four-minneapolis-officers-fired-after-video-showing-black-man-killed-during-arrest-mayor-gives-impassioned-statement">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported, the death of George Floyd has drawn massive attention since a graphic video circulated showing an arresting officer kneeling on the back of a handcuffed suspect’s neck while the person repeatedly says he “can’t breath.” Four officers have since been fired for the incident, including the officer who pressed his knee against the man’s neck.
President Trump tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that he has asked both the FBI and Department of Justice to investigate the death: “My heart goes out to George’s family and friends. Justice will be served.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore also released a statement online amidst the protests in the area, saying the actions in the video “go against the basic law enforcement principle of preservation of life.”
“The lack of compassion, use of excessive force, or going beyond the scope of the law, doesn’t just tarnish our badge — it tears at the very fabric of race relations in our country,” said Moore, who also added that such incidents serve as “sobering reminders” of how quickly public trust in the police can be lost.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Floyd’s family, released the following statement online after the incident: “We all watched the horrific death of George Floyd on video as witnesses begged the police officer to take him into the police car and get off his neck. This abusive, excessive and inhumane use of force cost the life of a man who was being detained by the police questioning about a non-violent charge. We will seek justice for the family of George Floyd, as we demand answers from the Minnesota Police Department. How many ‘while black’ deaths will it take until the racial profiling and undervaluing of black lives by police finally ends?”

In a turn of events that should surprise no one, thousands of people across the country have taken to the streets to protest the draconian lockdown measures that have destroyed the economy and millions of lives along with it. Many in the media seem to be perplexed about this development. They are doing quite well, personally &#8212; still pulling an income, still able to do cable news hits from their home studios &#8212; and they can&#8217;t imagine why anyone would be so upset about being asked to stay home and watch Netflix and play video games, as Patton Oswalt put it in a <a href="https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/1251571068885585920">tweet</a> that has half a million likes.
But those who lack the privilege of a media personality or famous comedian may find that Netflix and video games are paltry comfort when they return home after spending six hours in <a href="https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/04/19/line-more-than-two-miles-long-for-food-distribution-in-rural-county/">line at a food bank.</a> Agree or disagree with the methods of the protestors, but any reasonable and decent person should at least understand why they are protesting. In the past month, 22 million people have lost their jobs. Plus another several million who didn&#8217;t qualify for unemployment or couldn&#8217;t apply because the unemployment sites are crashing. Contrary to how Dr. Fauci has characterized it, these numbers represent more than a mere &#8220;inconvenience.&#8221; Many Americans have lost everything. And not because of some natural disaster or act of God, but because the government has forbid them from going to work.
A woman at a protest in Maryland <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1252206138524909571?s=20">held a cardboard sign</a> saying she wanted to save her business. &#8220;I need to work to live,&#8221; the sign read. Democrat politicians would call that woman &#8220;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/493477-former-michigan-governor-on-protests-the-selfishness-must-stop">selfish.</a>&#8221; Talking heads on MSNBC would say she is part of a &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1251932040259305473">death cult</a>.&#8221; But it seems to me that she&#8217;s just a woman who wants to salvage the business that she has poured her sweat and tears into. And she wants to survive. Both of these seem like perfectly reasonable goals. Disagree with her approach if you want &#8212; though, honestly, I can&#8217;t see the problem with the approach &#8212; but to sneer at her and the other protestors, as so many in the media have done, is morally repugnant.
I would like to propose an unofficial rule for any further discussion of these protests and the lockdowns that prompted them. Before you give your opinion, you should first reveal whether you still have an income. The rest of us would like to know if you are earning an income while you smear your fellow Americans for wanting to earn an income. Indeed, it&#8217;s rather striking that the loudest voices in favor of the shutdown are primarily people who have lost nothing because of it. It is bad enough for those who&#8217;ve lost nothing to wag their fingers at those who&#8217;ve lost everything, but to call them selfish? Well, that level of hypocrisy is just too much to bear.
<iframe title="Don&#039;t Sneer At The Lockdown Protestors If You Still Have A Job | The Matt Walsh Show Ep. 470" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m5J4iv1Aeaw?start=44&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Since I am the one proposing this rule, I should probably disclose that I myself am a media personality who is still earning an income. In fact, the lockdown has been a relatively light burden for my family. I&#8217;m sill making money, we already homeschooled, and we live out in the country with plenty of space for our kids to go out and play. And I tend to be a bit of a hermit, so isolation from the general public is no great horror to me. If the economy continues to crater, and we wind up in a full on depression, I certainly will not be immune from the suffering that is coming our way. As of right now, though, I&#8217;m doing alright.
But I realize that not everyone is in my shoes. Not everyone can work from home. Not everyone can so easily isolate themselves from society. Some people have real jobs that require them to go out and do things. And many of those people have been legally barred from doing those things. What has been a light burden for me has been a crushing weight for many others. Who am I to call people selfish for wanting income and stability? They are protesting for the right to reclaim what I already have. If I am going to be outraged at anyone, my outrage will be directed not at them but at the government that has done this to them.

On Sunday, leftist journalists appearing on MSNBC’s &#8220;AM Joy” vilified Americans across the nation who have gathered to call for opening the country from stay-at-home orders and lockdowns.  Comments ranged from “They don’t care about America. What they care about is Donald Trump” to they “don&#8217;t care about these black and brown people who are dying” to “they are the Fox News, Nazi, Confederate death-cult rump of the Republican party.”
Dave Zirin of The Nation ranted:
<blockquote>They&#8217;ve gone from all lives matter to no lives matter.  These folks are &#8212; let&#8217;s be honest about what they are &#8212; they are the Fox News, Nazi, confederate death cult rump of the Republican party and their very existence is a slap in the face not only to the health care workers on the front lines risking their lives every single day, but it&#8217;s also a slap in the face to the people who are actually dying from this virus in disproportionate numbers, black and brown people.
These aren&#8217;t economically disenfranchised folks; these are small business owners; these are retirees; these are people who want their workers to be sent back to work, not themselves.  It&#8217;s a complete and utter farce.  It&#8217;s an Astroturf farce.  And also, I think it needs to be said it&#8217;s unrepresentative of the Republican party as a whole. I just saw a poll that said 70% of Republicans want a national stay-at-home order. So this represents nothing except the narrow Astroturf interests and the hard-racist interests that combine and form the modern-day Republican party.</blockquote>
Boston Globe opinion columnist Renee Graham pontificated:
<blockquote>One thing I think is really interesting is how these protests have started after all the headlines the last week or so about the disproportionate effect the virus is having in communities of color.  And so when I look at these protests, what I see are a bunch of white people essentially saying, &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s affecting those people so why do I have to change my life for them?&#8221;  So that&#8217;s what this is coming down to.  In Boston, the numbers are the same as they are nationally.  One of the public hospitals, Boston Medical Center, 82% of the corvid-19 cases are either black or Latino.
These numbers are real and I think what you&#8217;re seeing out there in the protesters, who by the way are overwhelmingly white, which people aren&#8217;t really talking about, though it&#8217;s quite noticeable, is that they don&#8217;t care. You know, this isn&#8217;t about, you know they&#8217;re out there waving American flags.  They don&#8217;t care about America.  What they care about is Donald Trump and what Donald Trump has created.  They don&#8217;t care about the people risking their lives to keep this country moving; they don&#8217;t care about empty, dangerous rebellion.  All they want is another battle waged for their lost cause.  This isn&#8217;t a protest.  This is a temper tantrum.</blockquote>
Michael Harriot of The Root chimed in: “Again, I disagree with the notion that we shouldn&#8217;t be covering this because I think it is more than just, ‘I don&#8217;t care about these black and brown people who are dying.&#8217; I think what they&#8217;re saying quite clearly when you see the numbers, when you see the statistics, when you see the CDC data, is, &#8216;I want more black and brown people to die.&#8217; If you want the government to open up, then you want more black and brown people to die.  We see it happening in real time; we see it in Donald Trump&#8217;s tweets; we see it in the data; there can be no other outcome if you open up what they call their society or their business or the country&#8230;&#8221;
