DC businesses board up windows ahead of potential Election Day unrest

| November 1, 2020

Nothing to see here Citizen. Move along.

DC Metro Police Chief Peter Newsham said Thursday there were no ‘credible threats right now of violence’
By Danielle Wallace

Businesses in downtown Washington, D.C., boarded up their storefront windows over the weekend in anticipation of potential civil unrest in the nation’s capital on or around Election Day.

Hair salons, restaurants, clothing stores, and banks just blocks away from the White House were covered in plywood Sunday, as business owners prepare for a possible repeat of the violent riots and looting seen over the summer in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, as well as the decision not to charge officers in connection to the death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky.

One photo showed the first and second-floor windows of one building boarded up and spray painted to include artwork in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Wells Fargo, Francesca’s, CVS Pharmacy and Washington Sports Club were among some of the business with plywood protecting their windows.

Yeah, that’ll stop the vandals. Read the entire article here: Fox Business News

Not just DC. Los Angeles, New York, and several other heavily Democrat areas doing the same.

Damn conservatives.

thebesig

The Democratic Party machine has its tentacles deep within government. If heavily democratic cities are boarding up, that’s a possible indication that the Democrat’s internal polling is showing that President Trump is going to win re-election.

SidneyBroadshead

I think it indicates they know how bad it’s going to be even if Biden wins. The mobs on both sides won’t stop looting and fighting just because they got their way.
Some probably think it’s okay for a White college dropout to set fire to a Black-owned business (and vice-versa).
It was the same thing in the 1970s with the Weather Underground. They blew up public buildings, tried to burn a judge’s family alive, almost accidentally murdered Dustin Hoffman, and deliberately executed a Black superintendent of schools. They teach college classes now despite being uneducated violent offenders with no remorse.

“on both sides”

On what planet are both sides of the election contest looting?

The violence is coming from the Left, as usual.

thebesig

Each of those incidents mentioned had an ultimate objective. The recent riots had much to do with the desire, of the movers and shakers, wanting President Trump gone. They tried to tie this around his neck. They failed and found out that their audience could only be fooled to a certain extent.

Should Biden win, the movers and shakers would want to prop their chosen candidate up, they would suck the wind out of attempts to do a repeat of this summer… With the rioters getting plenty of coverage.

With Biden, the movers and shakers of the radical left will have what they want and would suck the wind out of any attempts to hold riots.

These riots, and the other events that have been going on that’s pushed by the left, are not stand alone isolated events but are part of a bigger coordinated event with a longer term objective.

If these riots occur with a “Biden victory”, then the intent would be sinister as at this point, they would be working to accelerate us towards being what Venezuela is right now before 2024.

They don’t want that yet. What I mentioned above is reality. The Democratic Party machine may have internal polling data showing that President Trump will win re-election tomorrow.

I am sure the protests will be mostly peaceful. Hardly any mayhem at all.

See what happens when those pesky Baptists start speaking to one another in the liquor store, next thing you know they are using the Church Bulletins to announce a mostly peaceful protest.

I’m sure that the stocks of work boots and gloves will be safe from any looting.

Oh that was wicked, Fyr, truly wicked–and ol’ Poe loved it…

Gotta keep the businesses safe from marauding bands of deplorable Republican chumps clinging bitterly to their guns and bibles.

Fyrfighter

Freaking idiots!

“We support BLM, but we also know that if we don’t board up our place, you’ll loot and destroy it”… how indoctrinated and mentally ill do you have to be to have that level of cognitive dissonance? I know, I’ll ask Lars, he’s on the same page with these fools!

Here’s hoping that when the riots come, that place is first on their list..

NHSparky

Bingo. Just like the “black owned” businesses in Minneapolis. They got looted and burned just the same.

SidneyBroadshead

If you don’t support BLM, they burn your place down. The Twittersphere is full of that kind of foolishness.

11B-Mailclerk

And cities are full of looted and/or burned buildings.

If an org allows Black Block to hide within its protests, does nothing to stop those violent folks,does not contact the authorities to rest them, then they own them.

Dr King did a -phenominal- job of excluding knuckleheads from the protests he led. He changed the world.

So yup, BLM owns those rioters and looters, doing nothing to exclude and oppose them.

Green Thumb

The irony is that they burn a lot lot of Black-owned businesses to the ground.

11B-Mailclerk

Deliberate. Preferential targets. Successful middle-class Blacks do not join revolutionary movements.

Revolution requires Misery, so the Left manufactures it.

Roh-Dog

If your store gets burned down it’s because you didn’t prostrate sufficiently, it displeased us.

Gotta prepare for those mostly peaceful Democrats…

What a sad state of affairs for this country.

A Proud Infidel®™️

Anyone remember the rampaging hordes of Republicans doing the same when President Trump’s predecessor was elected and re-elected? Me neither, IMHO it’s further proof that liberalism is a mental disorder!

Deckie

Yeah, I went to bed that night and woke up for work the next day… unlike all those whining suck ass sissies who cried on national TV. I’d be ASHAMED to go the rest of my life with my image splattered across the web handling an election THAT poorly. People will be watching them melt down like fools in 500 years unless the democrats by then seize and destroy all footage in their continued efforts to rewrite history.

Idiots!

Graybeard

And the Biden-Harris Bus folks in Texas felt ‘threatened’ by Texans in their pickups flying Trump flags… As if they were members of Antifa or somethin’

As my grandson wrote in his little self-published newspaper this week: The distance between the stars ought to be used as a measure of human stupidity.

David

Saw the early reports that the Biden folks “heard gunshots”, saw guns, were threatened, etc. In Austin, the most liberal city in Texas. (Funny how those ‘defunded’ police were the first ones they called! Even funnier how no substantiation for their claims has been uncovered almost two days later.)

The measure of human stupidity dwarfs any conceivable distance.

Wireman611

I’m just waiting for the pendulum to swing the other way. And when it does its gonna be brutal.

SidneyBroadshead

The mentally disabled are not legally responsible for their actions. That’s why Joe Biden is not on trial or in jail.

Poetrooper

“…of LIBERAL stupidity.”

Fixed it for ya…

They protested in NE Portland last night… have lost count of how many days they have been protesting. Businesses had windows smashed and broken into – no arrests.

Imagine the property values. Commercial has got to have tanked already.

I was just reading that apartment rental rates are dropping like a rock in the liberal run cities as sensible folks pick up stakes and look for saner places to live.

There’s also a new-housing boom going on in non-urban areas.

Crazy has consequences…

Deckie

I know a woman who works pretty high up in Apple, out in California who is fleeing to Texas.

I advised her to stop voting like she did in California when she takes up her new residence and she was not happy I said that, but did not deny that I was right.

11B-Mailclerk

It is also crazy to assure us the new better businesses will move in.

Detroit exemplifies what will replace the fleeing of the productive. Decay, and those who pick over the ruins for a bit of saleable scrap.

USMC Steve

Detroit is kind of like Mogadishu but with taller buildings and winter.

Ah yes, good ‘ol Detroitistan!

I know the owner ans some of his family… been into the downtown store. Hope he gets his pound of flesh from the city of Portland:

The Other Whitey

At this point, I’m surprised there’s still any glass left to break. Has a single night passed in the last five months without dozens of Portland businesses being smashed up and looted?

Portland is beyond the “nuke it from orbit” threshold. At this point, full-on Exterminatus, 40K-style might be called for.

A Proud Infidel®™

I wonder if it doesn’t closely resemble downtown Kabul by now?

I wonder just how much money Soros is going to put out to finance the next round of riots and I wonder if the likes of Bloomberg and DeBlasio aren’t involved?

SidneyBroadshead

Soros is a 1%er of the worst stripe. The fringe groups and domestic terror groups leave him alone because he pays them off to bother his business rivals, not because he funds them. He’s definitely got his money in some kind of currency deal and a nationwide riot in the US would go great guns in dropping the dollar through the floor.
I’m surprised he can leave the United States. Britain wants to kneecap him for the “Black Wednesday” crash he engineered in 1992 and the later “Italian Job” bond crisis messed up Italy’s entry into the EU.

11B-Mailclerk

Anarchists and Marxists, taking their payments from, doing the bidding of, oligarchs.

Too funny. AstroTurfA

Commissar

Yeah, it is pretty scary how armed mobs will be descending on capital buildings and court houses after a Trump loses the election.

The MAGA base has been lied to so throughly they think Trump will win.

And Trump, unable to accept the loss, will tell his followers the election was stolen and fraudulent.

So, yeah, we can expect right wing violence.

Animal

Name one large scale riot in the last 50 years that was “right wing” caused. I used to read your posts because they challenged my beliefs. Just a monkey slinging shit now.

Fyrfighter

For the first time in history? It’s leftists like you that riot murder and burn you arrogant ass! Remember all the right-wing riots when that America hating half black muslim got elected, then stole the second election??? Nope, neither do I, because conservatives don’t pull that shit, just commies like you!

I do my level best to be civil to you, but as God is my witness, you make it damn difficult when you’re such an insufferable cunt!

On second thought, I’m gonna leave it there before I sink to you level. As the saying goes, “you’ve accomplished nothing when you’ve bested a fool”.. Everyone knows you’re delusional as hell, nothing else needs to be said.

Anonymous

Leftists lie. It’s what they do… usually to justify being violent to get what they want.

SFC D

Your people will riot if Trump wins, because they’re insufferable little pussies and no one ever told them no, have a wall full of participation trophies. If Biden wins, your people will riot in celebration, looting will be called reparations and income redistribution. Face it Commissar, you and your people are whiny petulant children throwing tantrums. You’re a fraud .

SFC D

You mean the tea party riots that left the site cleaner than before they arrived?

11B-Mailclerk

Riot against litter and untidyness.

Kinda corny and unbelievable until you have seen those folks clean out a park.

Hack Stone

Care to comment on Hillary Clinton telling Joe Biden not to concede under any circumstances? She still hasn’t accepted the results of the 2016 election. The Democrats are under the mistaken impression that they know what is right for America, and if voters do not agree, their votes should be voided.

And don’t talk about her winning the popular vote. The President is not decided by the popular vote, it is decided by the Electoral College. She knew that going in. She can console herself by waking up every morning and brushing the dust off of her Second Place Trophy.

11B-Mailclerk

I am certain that is what you will call it as you pretend to be a medic to folks who attack people for not drinking their red/black Marxist Kool-Aid.

Thanks again for your tireless efforts to make the Left look stupid, and to re-elect Trump.

And “street medic” Lars will be there, leading from the rear in support of the Soi Bois…

Again people, simply ignore the communist. He has nothing valid to offer, and it is time out of your day that you cannot get back to engage with a fool.

Lars… you’re a fraud, a traitor and a disgrace.

I still contend you took the oath to defend the constitution with your fingers crossed.

Now go grab your Che shirts from the dryer before they shrink.

I see Major Moonbat as a living example of just how brainwashed someone can let themselves get !

Penguinman000

Expect right wing violence as opposed to the current spate of left wing mob violence?

SFC D

Lars, here are your people in all their glory. Kindly point out the “right wing violence”. Take your time, we’re patient. You’re a fraud.

Remember when Obama came into office and people talked endlessly about the threat of white supremacists attempting to assassinate him?

Yeah, it is pretty scary how armed mobs will be descending on capital buildings and court houses after a Trump loses the election.

Like in Portland? Don’t think those were “right-wing”

Of course they are. When the local folks can’t or won’t protect you, funny how those with an iota of survival instinct will do what they must to protect themselves.

I would use the nails instead for home made Claymores.

They are doing this in parts of Kalifornia too. What to bet Korea Town will make it through just fine, same as the last riots? And most likely with a body count of Antifa and BLM idiots?

RetiredDevilDoc8404

Lars, you swore an oath similar to the one I did, didn’t you? At what point did your’s expire? By supporting those who support the overthrow the government even by being a wannabe provider of amateur first aid, are you not in violation of your oath? You are, sir one of those domestic enemies. Turn yourself in to the proper authorities immediately you turd. The Tidy Bowl Man needs to do a big flush and clean up the backed up turds once and for all.
