We’ve seen this again and again: the violence from the BLM/Antifa mob is pretty much OK as long as they don’t cause problems at the homes of the Democrat political masters
Dem. congressman condemns ‘vigilante justice’ as protesters vandalize San Jose mayor’s home
Protesters vandalized the home of San Jose’s mayor Friday in a demonstration against the Wisconsin police shooting of Jacob Blake.
They marched to the mayor’s home, then ran off after spraypainting the house. Mayor Sam Liccardo and a number of neighbors scrubbed the graffiti off later Friday.
Around 150 protesters marched near San Jose City Hall in a Black Lives Matter demonstration earlier in the day, calling to defund the San Jose Police, according to the San Jose Spotlight. By nightfall, a smaller group of 30 or 40 protesters had veered off to march toward Liccardo’s home. (snip)
“I’m tremendously heartened by the response of dozens of my neighbors who dropped everything late last night to spend a couple of hours scrubbing graffiti from Jessica’s and my home,†he said. “Many of these same neighbors’ homes bear “Black Lives Matter†signs, and they represent the true spirit of the movement, and of our San Jose community. They contrast sharply with the roughly hundred so-called ‘protesters’ who stood by silently — or even cheered — as a flag was burned and while ‘f*ck you’ and other messages were scrawled on our home.â€

Man, if only there was some sort of group which could stop this kind of criminal activity. Interestingly, Liccardo can barely find it in himself to publically slam the B/A folks for this. But…
Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents the San Jose area, condemned vandalism of the mayor’s house as “morally outrageous†in an interview with Fox News.
He called on every elected official to speak out against violence, destruction and looting, which he said undermines the police reform cause.
“There is absolutely no justification for the vandalism that took place at the mayor’s personal residence. This is not the first instance. His house, his property has been targeted in the past. †Khanna said.
“We resolve issues of dispute through political means, through elections, through dialogue, through peaceful protest. We do not resort to violence and that applies equally to vigilantes. We’re not a nation that tolerates vigilante justice,†the congressman continued.
He’s not wrong. I’ve been saying the same thing since the violence continued after the first few days in Minneapolis then spread around the country in Democratic Party run cities: the violence does undermine even discussing police reform. Is there any being done? All we usually hear is about defunding the police. Who does that help? The structural issues that can lead to bad behavior is still there.
But, notice that Ro only seems to care when it was the mayor’s house that was vandalized. Not when the B/A mob was causing problems for store owners and regular old citizens. I do wonder if he is now on the hit-list for the B/A mob?
Anyway, Liccardo is wrong: the vandalism does 100% represent the BLM movement, as backed by the Antifa nutters and all sorts of young, white college kids playing at being revolutionaries: violence and threats to attempt to get what they want, which is mostly free money and Marxism.

BTW, the security is not for the protesters
Security stepped up at Scottish Parliament ahead of climate protests
Security is being stepped up at the Scottish Parliament as the Extinction Rebellion (XR) protest group begins a new programme of climate change demonstrations.
Police told staff at the parliament building in Holyrood there were plans to “disrupt access to legislatures across the UK†on Tuesday next week.
Beginning on Friday, a “regional rebellion†over four days will see protests staged in cities around the country – including London, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff and Leeds – ahead of larger demonstrations on Tuesday.
Protests this weekend are expected to include roadblocks, marches, sit-ins, bike rides and picnics, with campaigners emphasising their ethos of “non-violent direct actionâ€.
Non violent usually means broken windows, paint and fake blood splashed all around, interfering with the lawful movements of other citizens, and harassment.
A spokesman for the Scottish Parliament told the PA news agency: “We were informed by Police Scotland of plans to disrupt access to legislatures across the UK on Tuesday September 1.
“Therefore Police Scotland will have an increased presence around the Parliament building in the lead-up to Tuesday.â€
Bunch of nutters
Dr Chris Newman, a GP and founder of Doctors for XR, told reporters on Thursday they were aware of the health risks of public gatherings and had cancelled previous protest plans.
He said: “Everyone in XR that I’ve spoken to is extremely mindful of the risks and we’re all concerned about health risks. That’s why we’re here, because climate change is a health issue as much as anything.
“So everyone will be pushing very hard for all XR participants to be obeying Government rules with social distancing, with them avoiding protests if they’re unwell, or if they have to isolate.â€
You can bet there will be zero social distancing.

Climate change: ‘A chance to dream past the year 2030’
I’m going to be 17 during the 2020 election. My dad was a few years older than me when he immigrated alone to America seeking a better future. Ten years later, he established himself in his new community and family here.
In 10 years I’ll be 27. I will have voted in five elections, hopefully out of college, and starting to become established in my career and community.
Ten years is how long scientists say we have to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions before our environment reaches a tipping point — a point of no return.
At 17, not even eligible to vote for my future, I wish I didn’t have to work toward a world that is expected to be irreparably damaged by the time I’m 27. I wish I could have lived my teen years able to dream without a 10-year deadline to accomplish them all.
I’m not asking for the best economy in the world, or a world full of opportunities or the “American Dream.†I want to seek a future where forest fires, hurricanes and floods no longer break record casualties every year. I just want a chance to dream past the year 2030.
Except, they aren’t breaking records of casualties. But, facts are not needed in the Cult of Climastrology. This little Warmist will be just fine, and wonder why she was so dumb 10 years ago come 2030.

Seriously, who saw this coming? Well, pretty much everyone, since the mayor of Raleigh declared a 10pm curfew for Friday and Saturday nights, interfering with the rights of law abiding citizens who weren’t going to be involved
Protesters gathered in downtown Raleigh on Friday night to speak out against police shootings and violence. Overnight, 14 people were arrested for violating a curfew and one person was arrested for assault on a law enforcement officer.
The protests started out peaceful, but as the night went on, people vandalized a memorial and a Wake County government building. People smashed the windows of the Wake County Justice Center, threw red paint on the building and sprayed graffiti. A memorial to fallen deputies was also vandalized in protest against the police.
The protests began escalating at about 9 p.m., when people pulled down barricades that had been put up outside the Wake County Justice Center and threw them in nearby bushes and streets. After that, according to Raleigh police, someone started a fire in the middle of Salisbury Street and set off fireworks.
At around 9:45 p.m., Raleigh police tweeted that the protest was “no longer peaceful.”  The vandalism at the Wake County building occurred right around 10 p.m.,  and Raleigh police started ordering the crowd to disperse as the curfew approached.
Some people also burned an American flag early on. Because reasons, you know. And because a whole bunch of young, lily white liberals who should be in college classes are playing at being revolutionaries. Of the 14 arrested, only 4 were black, as you can see at the link.
“The thing that concerns us as law enforcement are those individuals who blend into the peaceful protests and marches and their sole intent and their sole purpose is to come down and cause damage and be unlawful,” Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker said.
There were reports, unconfirmed, of big bricks being present. And reports from the police of frozen bottles being handed out, which wisely were not thrown, either at officers or thru windows.
Waiting for @WRAL , @ABC11_WTVD , and @WNCN to note the lack of social distancing.
Oh, and the burning of an American flag https://t.co/JaMeZSr5X4

None of the stations mentioned that lack of social distancing in their reports (WRAL’s is the one I am using), nor did the News and Observer. And it is a pretty darned white crowd, eh?
Really, what’s behind August’s Bad Weather is called “weather”, but Science News is having a tizzy
What’s behind August 2020’s extreme weather? Climate change and bad luck
August 2020 has been a devastating month across large swaths of the United States: As powerful Hurricane Laura barreled into the U.S. Gulf Coast on August 27, fires continued to blaze in California. Meanwhile, farmers are still assessing widespread damage to crops in the Midwest following an Aug. 10 “derecho,†a sudden, hurricane-force windstorm.
Each of these extreme weather events was the result of a particular set of atmospheric — and in the case of Laura, oceanic — conditions. In part, it’s just bad luck that the United States is being slammed with these events back-to-back-to-back. But for some of these events, such as intense hurricanes and more frequent wildfires, scientists have long warned that climate change has been setting the stage for disaster.
Science News takes a closer look at what causes these kinds of extreme weather events, and the extent to which human-caused climate change may be playing a role in each of them.
Weather happens. Always has, always will. But, these are cultists, so, everything is your fault for taking a long shower then having sausage with your eggs back at the end of July.

See, Democrats had no problem with Democratic voting BLM/Antifa folks committing acts of violence, including against women and senior citizens. They’ve called for defunding police. The amount of violence means police are spread thin, especially as the BLM/Antifa folks create issues away from the major area of the “protests”, and cannot protect homes and businesses. Someone has to
The Violence Could Get Much Worse
Unless police and political leaders begin to crack down on the armed vigilantes monitoring protests, more bloodshed could soon follow the killings in Kenosha.The killings in Kenosha, Wisconsin, represent an alarming escalation of the fight over police violence that has consumed the country this summer: It wasn’t an agent of the state who shot two Americans dead this week. Instead, an American man turned his weapon on other civilians during a protest—and law enforcement let him walk right by them and out of town. Police and political leaders have failed for years to take the actions necessary to prevent this kind of violence. Without serious, sustained intervention, more bloodshed could soon follow.
Not defending or slamming the shooter, but, his presence would not have been necessary if the Dem voting BLM/Antifa folks weren’t violent, and if Democrats and their Credentialed media hadn’t not only propped them up, but egged them on.
Seventeen-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who has described himself as a militia member and appeared in videos that night next to other armed men linked to a local militia group known as the Kenosha Guard, has since been arrested and charged with killing two people. (He hasn’t yet entered a plea.) Rittenhouse and the other men, who claimed to be protecting local businesses, are not the first armed right-wing counterprotesters to evade police scrutiny this summer. In May and June, such extremists appeared on 187 occasions at protests around the country, according to the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, a left-leaning organization that tracks extremist groups. Vigilantes appeared to receive the support or approval of police in about two dozen of those instances, says Alexander Reid Ross, a researcher at the Center for Analysis of the Radical Right and the author of Against the Fascist Creep.
Strange that The Atlantic’s Elaine Godfrey forgot to mention
Seattle #antifa group @riotkitchen206 was arrested in Kenosha, Wisc. They drove all the way there with their van & stopped to fill multiple fuel cans with gasoline in what is believed for criminal purposes. The van attempted to escape from responding officers. https://t.co/MD7VYzO3n6
