You’ve seen the pictures, watched the videos, and consumed the news reports on the protests taking place in Minneapolis and other cities across the nation in response to the death of George Floyd. In several instances, the demonstrations have morphed into full-on riots that have destroyed buildings and wreaked havoc in the community.
But there is one aspect of these occurrences that has gone largely unnoticed by both conservative and progressive media outlets, and much of the American public is being misled by bad actors whose objective is to cause chaos without carrying any blame.
Many Americans seem to be under the impression that the violent demonstrations are being mostly carried out by black residents of Minneapolis. Indeed, several of the videos showing the looting and mayhem display black individuals engaging in this destructive behavior.
However, what many of these reports and videos fail to mention is the fact that most of these people have traveled to Minneapolis from other cities to participate in the looting. The city’s police chief confirmed as much during a recent press conference.
But there is another more insidious element to this equation. Other videos clearly show that white agitators, many of whom belong to the far-left anarchist organization known as Antifa, have shown up to incite and perpetuate violence and pandemonium.
Civil rights attorney Rogan O’ Handley tweeted a video and noted that “white leftists are now openly destroying impoverished black communities.”
