Nolte: BLM Riots Are
Officially the Most Costly Manmade Damage to American Property in History
24,283
The
domestic terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter have accomplished one
thing: the most costly riots in the history of our country, reports the
far-left Axios
Obviously, because the left’s domestic terrorism extended well
beyond June 8 and is still ongoing, the company acknowledges “this is still
happening, so the losses could be significantly more.”
Most importantly,
these estimates are all being compared based on 2020 dollars. Meaning, previous
riots, like the 1992 Rodney King Riots in Los Angeles, cost $775 million in
1992 dollars. That adds up to $1.42 billion today, which is still lower than
the $2 billion Black Lives Matter Riots estimate — which again only covers
eight or nine days of rioting that has never really stopped.
Here’s a piece
of perspective that shocked even me…
If you add up the
insurance cost in 2020 dollars for all six major American riots during the
turbulent 1960s, the total is a little shy of $1.2 billion — which means the
terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter caused more mayhem and property
damage in a little over a week than this country saw throughout all of the
1960s.
To the surprise of
no one, Axios still uses the term “mostly peaceful” to describe what’s
happening.
There’s also this
helpful non sequitur: “Yes, but: These losses are small
compared with those stemming from natural disasters like hurricanes and the
wildfires that are consuming the U.S. West.” [emphasis original]
So even in the
face of all this murder, property damage, assaults, looting, and burning, the
clown show at Axios proudly marches onward.
“Mostly peaceful.”
Man alive.
Another thing to
keep in mind is that these estimates are based only on insurance claims, so
near the bottom of the piece, we’re told: “U.S. companies have learned the
hard way that their insurance doesn’t cover business interruption related
to the coronavirus, most policies emphatically do cover riot-related losses.”
In other
words, that astronomical number isn’t estimating total damage, just the damage that’s insured. So while the number is not
helpful in estimating the total damage, it is still a good apples-to-apples
comparison with past riots, since all the calculations are based on insurance
claims.
If Trump wins
re-election in November, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The rioting and terrorism
will be off the charts.
The national
media are not even being subtle in threatening more
riots if Joe Biden loses:
A
loss by Joe Biden under these circumstances is the worst case not because Trump
will destroy America (he can’t), but because it is the outcome most likely to
undermine faith in democracy, resulting in more of the social unrest and street
battles that cities including Portland, Oregon, and Seattle have seen in recent
months. For this reason, strictly law-and-order Republicans who have responded
in dismay to scenes of rioting and looting have an interest in Biden
winning—even if they could never bring themselves to vote for him.
The far-left Atlantic published that last week (I don’t link anything that
blackmails voters using threats of violence).
Here’s another:
A landslide
for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of
power. Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level
violence and political crisis.
That unveiled threat came
from the far-left Washington Post at the beginning of the
month.
If Trump wins, the
marauders will maraud like nothing we have ever before seen, and they will do
so with the full support of the establishment media and the Democrats. How do
we know that? Because they are doing so now with the full support of the
establishment media and Democrats.
If Biden wins, the
Democrats, the media, and their Brownshirts in Antifa and Black Lives Matter
will have had their terrorism validated.
So, either way…
Brace yourselves.
Prepare yourselves.
Prepare yourselves
before it’s too late to prepare yourselves.
We have never
lived in a country where political violence has been normalized and encouraged.
We do now.
