Shootings surged and murders were up over 100 percent in New York City last week as protesters flooded the streets, along with rioters who shattered windows and destroyed property.

The New York Post reports there were 13 murders from Monday, June 1, 2020, to Sunday night, June 7, 2020. There were five murders during that same time period in 2019.

Moreover, there were 40 shootings in NYC from June 1 to June 7, 2020. In 2019 “there were 24 shootings.”

The Post reported, “The increase in violence came as demonstrators marched city streets to protest the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.”

The paper described the majority of protests as “peaceful,” but noted peaceful protesters were, at times, “overshadowed by looting and the destruction of stores in several boroughs.”

On June 9, 2020, Breitbart News reported Los Angeles witnessed a 250 percent surge in murders and a 56 percent increase in shooting victims during protest week.

The surge of violence in Los Angeles was mirrored by shootings and murders in other Democrat-controlled cities around the country.

Chicago Mayor Now Pleading With Walmart And Other Companies Not To Leave The City

By Mike LaChance – 6/9/2020

After the recent riots which saw multiple large stores looted, some retailers are having second thoughts about remaining in certain cities.

In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been talking to these retailers and asking them not to leave the city.

Not only do these companies make it possible for residents to get the things they need, they pay tons of taxes which the city relies on.

WBBM News reports:

TRENDING: Chicago Mayor Now Pleading With Walmart And Other Companies Not To Leave The City

Mayor Lightfoot Pleads With Walmart, Other Retailers To Not Abandon Chicago

Mayor Lightfoot said she’s hopeful major retailers will reopen the Chicago stores that were looted or otherwise damaged during protests surrounding George Floyd’s killing by police in Minnesota. But, she’s unsure of one of the biggest.

Mayor Lightfoot said she was on a conference call with Walmart and other major retailers that had stores looted or heavily damaged during the unrest in Chicago. She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago.

“I think in the case of Walmart, what they were focused on was assessing the damage. They are doing an effort to donate fresh produce, to the extent of what’s left so it doesn’t perish, and other perishables, and they are taking their time, as I would expect.”

Who can blame these companies if they leave the cities?

The same thing is happening in Minneapolis:

MUST SEE! Media Is HIDING This: Look at Mass Destruction in Chicago, NYC, Minneapolis and St. Louis After Just One Week of Leftist “Peaceful Protest” (SHOCKING VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft – 6/8/2020

The mainstream media is not just biases, it is not just lying to the American public. The mainstream media is the ENEMY of the American people.

Last week was a historic wake up call for the United States.
The Democrat party took their anger out on American public.

The left rioted, looted, shot and killed, burned and destroyed.

The mainstream media DID NOT show you the aftermath of the leftist rage.
They hid this from the American people.

Here is a MUST SEE video from Chicago, New York City, St. Louis and Minneapolis of the aftermath of last week’s violence and destruction.

Wow! Minneapolis City Council President Says Calling the Police on Burglars “Comes from a Place of Privilege” (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft – 6/8/2020

After nearly two weeks of violence, mayhem, and rioting in Minneapolis, the City Council on Sunday voted on their intent to disband the police department.

The wild proposal would invest in “community-led public safety” instead of police officers.

“We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. We are also here because, here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States, it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety isn’t working for so many of our neighbors,” Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender said in a written statement Sunday, obtained by the Appeal. “Our efforts at incremental reform have failed.”

The effort has a veto-proof majority in the council, and many of the members have been publicly outspoken about their disdain for the police department.

On Monday Council President Lisa Bender joined Alisyn Camerota on CNN to discuss the plan.

When asked about who people will call if their home is broken into, who to call, Lisa Bender said this:

Lisa Bender: “Yes, I mean, and I hear that loud and clear from several of my neighbors, and I know, and myself too, and I know that comes from a place of privilege.”

These people are complete lunatics.

It’s leadership like this that give you this–

Washington DC Mayor Paints Giant ‘Black Lives Matter’ Message on Road to White House with Taxpayer Money — But Can’t Stop Rioting

By Jim Hoft – 6/5/2020

Washington DC Mayor Bowser painted a giant ‘Black Lives Matter’ message on the street to the White House on Friday.
The painting was commissioned by the far left mayor.

She can’t control her streets from rioters but she can use taxpayer money to paint a slogan on the street to the White House.

This message in yellow paint spans two blocks on 16th Street to the White House.

Screen Shot 2020-06-05 at 11.29.03 AM

CNN reported:

“The painting of 16th St with “BLACK LIVES MATTER” is an effort not only blessed by Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser but initiated by her,” said the mayor’s spokeswoman LaToya Foster to CNN.

“The painters are contractors directed by the Mayor. They have been at it since 2 or 3 in the morning.”

Washington has been the site of more than a week’s worth of protests in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. St. John’s Church, the site of President Trump’s roundly criticized photo opp during a peaceful protest, sits along the expanse of road that now bears the BLM message. They will continue this weekend, including one on Saturday that is expected to yield a large turnout.

Freakish “Clown” Busted After Neck Tattoo Gives Him Away…Charged With Arson For Allegedly Setting Chicago Police SUV On Fire During “Peaceful” Protests

Screen Shot 2020-06-04 at 4.53.05 PM

Protests over the death of George Floyd this weekend in Chicago took an ugly turn when looters and rioters destroyed the city. Videos of looter ransacking stores on Michigan Avenue were shared around social media.

Another video showed rioters dragging a police officer on her back down a street in Chicago.

Like Washington D.C., NYC, Minneapolis, and other major cities across America, fires raged in buildings and cop cars burned after “peaceful” protesters destroyed black-owned businesses and killed black cops to get “justice” for George.

Hidden behind a clown mask, white “peaceful” protester, Timothy O’Donnell foolishly believed he could get away with setting a Chicago police SUV on fire by hiding his identity behind the freakish mask. Unfortunately, for the peaceful protester, his amateur neck tattoo that reads, “PRETTY,” gave him away.

Timothy O’Donnell is now facing federal charges of arson that carry a min. 5-year-sentence.

According to Jason Meisner of the Chicago Tribune: Listening in on the court appearance for Timothy O’Donnell, charged in federal court with torching a Chicago cop car during the weekend unrest downtown. Prosecutor tells the judge he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The mandatory minimum sentence is 5 years.

Police arrested O’Donnell at his apartment on Tuesday in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. According to Fox 40, O’Donnell admitted to the crime.

U.S. Marshal Killed By Rioter in Front of Las Vegas Courthouse

An armed rioter may have been targeting law enforcement.

By

8 News Now Metro of Las Vegas is reporting that a U.S. Marshal has been killed after being shot in the head during Monday’s race riots.

Reports emerged late on Monday that a U.S. Marshal had been killed during a shootout with an armed rioter near the city’s federal courthouse.

CAP

8 News Now originally reported that the marshal had been shot in the head. The shooting death appeared to take place after the evening’s protest and riot activities had been contained by law enforcement, perhaps suggesting that an armed rioter intentionally targeted law enforcement in the shooting.

Video footage of the Las Vegas strip continued to show a major police presence well into the night.

Other law enforcement officers have been killed in the nationwide race riots following the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, but it appears as if the riots have taken a decidedly bloodthirsty turn after the shooting death of the federal law enforcement officer.

The situation continues to develop, and Big League Politics is closely analyzing the situation.
