Steve Earle: Time to label Antifa & BLM for what the are, terrorist organizations

To The Daily Sun,

Protests are one thing, riot, loot and burn another. All across America's cities black and latino business owners face or deal with destruction of their shops and stores. They are not alone in Minneapolis, Muslim immigrant business owners like Abdishakur Elmi or Hofsa Islam watch the smoke and flames destroy their or friends hard work and livelihoods. Even business posted as "Black American" were not spared — windows smashed and looted.

So how does this play for the call for justice? Liban Alin, a Muslim neighborhood resident understands the anger but says the message is being lost because of the rioting. City after city is being ravaged but it has nothing to do with the murder of George Floyd. It is about anarchists and thieves using Floyd's death as an excuse to create havoc. Guess who cares? Well it's not Democratic mayors, governors or liberal media most of whom are spending their time excusing or cheerleading the violence and playing politics. I've said it before, they don't give a darn about the people it's all about their grab for power.

Here is an interesting story I just read. James Matthew Mattox, a 31-year-old Antifa "Black Block" member received a nasty gash on his arm from a rubber police bullet and filed a civil rights suit. The Portland City Council settled it for $23,000. Well that's sure going to deter rioting, I'll bet. So what's the lesson here? Never use a rubber bullet on rioting anarchists, better double tap with hollow points? While Antifa, BLM, thieves, and anarchists burn down liberal cities and call for police departments to be abolished it occurred to me that as recently as a week ago liberal anti-gun propaganda was saying, "only police should have guns."

Funny how liberal ideology sways with what ever breeze is currently blowing. If even half the business owners had guns to protect themselves and stores and homes, well? It is well past time Antifa and BLM are declared terrorist organizations. They do far more harm to minority communities then white supremacists, KKK or nazi's could ever hope to do. So how dare Trump call out the National Guard to stop the lefts pet terrorists when Democrat mayors and governors tell police to stand down once again or bail them out of jail, like Biden's staffers did; just can't have enough chaos and destruction to suit them and of course blame it on the president, like they try every time their plans fail. We need socialist Dem's elected like we need more lies smears and slanders shoveled at us by mainstream Pravda propaganda. Had it up to my eyeballs haven't you yet?.

BTW if you like Biden see what Charlamagne has to say about the man. It's not pretty.
