    Or is it too cold for snowflakes?

    No Kenosha officers to face charges in Jacob Blake shooting, prosecutors say

    The elections are over so the rioting no longer serves its purpose.

    Hillary Clinton in 2018: "That's why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again."

      Give it a few months for the Biden/Harris disillusionment to settle in. It'll start back up eventually.

        Will there be riots? Possibly. I know the father was trying to rouse people with his rhetoric after the decision. And Biden seems to have pissed off BLM in the last month or so, so who knows.

        That said, not surprised in the least to see this decision, it's exactly what I expected the outcome would be. It was a pretty shut and closed case, the video showed him with a knife, trying to get into a car with kids, he was wanted for domestic abuse, and he was breaking a restraining order just by being there (at the home of the woman who had the order, who he'd abused). The cop had every reason to shoot him and prevent him from taking the kids hostage or driving off in a high speed chase with them, especially after he had already gotten violent with the cops. I don't know why BLM keeps picking losers like this to rally around.

          This isn't the first controversial decision not to prosecute in the last couple of weeks and there has been at least one shooting by police that a couple months ago would have led to burning cars and looted stores. But there hasn't even been any sort of reaction.

            Contrary to what folks might think, they're still protesting in certain cities. Pockets of protests are still occurring here in LA, and from what I understand, they've set up, or tried to, other autonomous zones in Portland and Seattle recently. It's just that the MSM is not giving that extra attentive fuel like they were prior to election for what appears to be obvious political reasons. But the populous is still on edge.

              Yeah, promoting the rioting no longer serves a purpose for the MSM and will actually make the Biden administration look bad, so you can be sure they will be downplayed from now now. Unless it is done by conservatives, then you can expect it to be blown all out of proportion.

                Kind of like how during Tea Party rallies they would scour the outer edges looking for a disaffected nut case that they could showcase as a "typical" member but during the Occupy protests they kept insisting they were just your average Americans.

                  It's the power of the spotlight. The irony is, you can be heavily biased, while providing an air of neutrality, by carefully choosing what stories to report on, and then presenting them without spin.

                  For example, Huffpost recently reported that Arizona's Republican Governor was "under fire" because his 25 year old son was videotaped out at a party without a mask after the governor said "bad idea" about such things. That's newsworthy, while democrats "under fire" when they themselves (as opposed to their adult children) not listening to their own advice isn't newsworthy enough to report on. They provided a simple, factual reporting of the issue, neutral at face value....

                    Not only will they downplay or ignore the riots, but they are going to attempt to create a whole different reality than what is actually happening in the US in the next four years. It's going to be wild.

                      Soo, the same thing as the last four years.
