Surprised the Breonna Taylor riots weren't worse

submitted by [deleted] from self.debatealtright

In fact, I'm actually a little suspicious about it. Is it possible that leftist elites saw how poorly the riots were polling for the Dems and were able to influence leftists on the ground to dial it down?

Leftists had been clamoring about Breonna Taylor for months. There seemed to be a deliberate attempt to keep the story in the public mind. All throughout the summer, I saw Breonna Taylor memes, leftist blogs and FB pages posting and reposting Breonna Taylor articles like mad etc. Also, leftists just seemed pissed about the idea of a black woman being shot to death while SLEEPING (although this is apparently a disputed fact).

Everything was lining up for it to be AT LEAST as bad as the George Floyd riots. It seems, though, that it's fizzled out pretty quickly. Is it possible that some leftists saw that the police largely did not do wrong, at enough to take the energy out of the movement? Or is there something else at play here. What do you make of it?

Weather probably played a role. It's getting colder and black riots, like black crime in general, are usually a lot worse during hot weather. Also could be riot fatigue. They've been rioting almost continuously for 4 months straight, and Breonna was mentioned continually. Rioting and mass shooting season is kind of dying down in the US, but it will likely resume in force in late spring. You also didnt have footage that Jewish media outlets like CNN can play on an endless loop, fueling black rage as with Floyd.

Finally you have to understand this took place in Kentucky, so the local government and police arent as passive and cucked as in Minnesota or Wisconsin, and certainly Seattle and Portland and parts of cali where the riots have gone on indefinitely because they are backed by the local government and prosecutors.

I forgot to add that because College classes have mostly resumed a lot of the little wound be rioters are back attending classes and learning how to hate themselves and whites, or teaching these subjects. Antifa get a lot of their recruits from college campuses, both from faculty and students.

How could it be riot fatigue? Soros will just pay rioters more money to riot and they will riot with great enthusiasm, hell, so much money from Soros was floating around, even white supremacists got in on the action.

The real reason is because those cities have the most white radical leftists in America.

AKA the rot of our race.

They were pretty bad in the city where she died.

This case was never as emotional because media didn't showcase the video. In this case, body cam footage exonerates the police, so it was unusable to them.

None of these riots are organic/grassroots. Every one of them is funded entirely by rich jewish men. Soros decided that having more of them wouldn’t help at the moment, probably because of all the property damage that none of the rioters will be held accountable for.

Thats a good point. Rioting obviously helps Trump so theres no benefit to keeping them going up to the election.

Riots don't need to be funded.

Can you prove that claim?
