The blacks have a pretty effective media machine when it comes to this. Relatively effective use of social media and a lot of attorneys backing up whatever the mob does. That's where we don't really have it. Then there are some deceptively sophisticated tactics being used in that middling level violence.

You see the "hands up don't shoot" tactic when a riot squad shows up and starts getting on line. Those people are running interference and a delaying tactic so the others can get away. Then the crowd of cameras, that's all set up for selective editing, looking for that moment when a cop loses his temper and goes off.

I would say on this, same strategy and tactics as the Oathkeeper deployment to Ferguson is the way to roll on it. What is disturbing here though is when local politicians talk of "giving them room to vent". OK, insured property damage is one thing, rape, robbery and lynch mob murder is another, and an abdication of authority if not complicity in those crimes.

Even then, I now understand how and why insurance companies would be refusing to pay for some of that stuff, and go raising rates on the municipality. I would not consider any corporate executive to be responsibly handling company assets to go writing checks for all of that to just keep happening.

Here in Portland, 2006 I think the police killed one of the downtown crazies who happened to be the son of someone in state legislature. They made a spectacle of beating him to death in the street and then got caught in a traffic accident while on the way to ditch the body. They figured they were safer doing it to a white than blacks because whites don't riot, which is true.

If whites do riot, it is usually in pretty small numbers which are easily contained.
