Tucker Carlson: No One In Authority Is Keeping Order, This Is How Nations Collapse

It’s our neighborhood store. It’s walking distance from my house. People meet there for coffee in the morning. Kids come after school for candy. It’s as close to a community gathering spot as we have. The market is run by the Kim family. The Kims are immigrants from Korea. They’re revered in our neighborhood for their decency and their hard work. When they lost their son several years ago, the neighbors grieved. The Kims aren’t political. They’ve never hurt anyone. They only make things better. But last night, the mob came for their store. At 1:00 AM this morning, Mr. Kim was kneeling alone on the sidewalk, trying to salvage what he has spent his life building.

Scenes like this played out in hundreds of neighborhoods across our country. Here are a few: In Columbia, South Carolina, a man called the police when things began to fall apart. Rioters saw him doing that. They surrounded the man and then beat him. Onlookers laughed as he was pummeled:

In Rochester, New York, a group of eight men smashed the windows of a jewelry store. A couple who lived above the shop emerged to confront them. Both of them were viciously beaten, with a ladder and a two-by-four:

In Dallas, Texas, a man armed with what appeared to be a sword did his best to defend a business from looters. The mob bashed him in the head with a rock and a skateboard:

In San Jose, California, rioters with crowbars stormed the highway and attacked vehicles, trying to pull drivers from their cars:

In Birmingham, Alabama, a local reporter called Stephen Quinn was beaten and then robbed on live television as he tried to cover the looting:

In Portland, Oregon, a man was beaten, apparently for daring to carry an American flag. He never released the flag:

How many of these people were murdered by the rioters who attacked them? We don’t know yet. At the least, some were likely disabled for life. And then there was the mass stealing. It seemed to be everywhere. In Buckhead, an upscale part of Atlanta, rioters stole a Tesla from a dealership and drove it though an indoor mall. In Portland, mobs looted Louis Vuitton, Apple and Chase bank, among many others. They often set fires as they left:

In Chicago, protestors fought systemic racism by running through a Nike store stealing shoes:

In Washington, a federal city surrounded by military bases and protected by the highest concentration of law enforcement in the world, criminals operated with impunity in the streets. They looted Georgetown. They smashed the windows in federal buildings. They desecrated virtually every war memorial in the city, a week after Memorial Day. Last night, they set fire to St. John’s Episcopal Church, a 200-year-old building that has welcomed every Amercian president since James Madison. It’s across the street from the White House…

Some Democrats have openly embraced it. Really, they don’t have much of a choice. These are their voters, cleaning out the Rolex store. These riots are effectively the largest Joe Biden for president rally on record.  In gratitude, more than a dozen Biden campaign staffers donated money to the rioters in Minneapolis, and then bragged about it on Twitter. No Democratic leader can directly criticize what is happening. Some have joined in. Over the weekend, the Democratic Party of Fairfax Virginia released this statement on Twitter. Quote: “Riots are an integral part of this country’s march towards progress.”

“Progress.” Burning buildings. Tear gas. Dead bodies. The screaming injured. Criminal anarchy. To the Democratic Party of Fairfax, that’s “progress.” Celebrity after celebrity has weighed in to agree. From his fortified compound,  basketball star LeBron James has used his social media accounts to encourage more rioting. Bernie Sanders surrogate Shaun King has done the same. So has Black Lives Matter leader Deroy McKesson. Colin Kapernick openly calls for violence. Quote: “The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears.”
