Because nothing says "Father's Day" quite like street barricades and burning cars ...
Big Country points out a nation-wide planned day of fire that's coming this weekend. Check out your locale for places you might want to avoid. After all, the first rule of gunfighting is to not go stupid places with stupid people.
It will be really interesting to see what happens. It looks like the polling on this - illegal aliens waving Mexican flags in front of burning cars - it absolutely terrible for the Democrats. If there are any adults left in that party you'd think they would clamp down on this. This will likely result in lots of blue area police departments being unleashed on the rioters.

One could hope that this is squashed properly.
Same sort of nonsense they did to show how ineffective Trump was during his first term and impeachment dances.
Otherwise perhaps it is insurrection aka a color revolution and the socialist-democrats aka the 3 letter deep state is going for the brass ring.
A lot of money is being spent creating this "spontaneous uprising" and it's really sad that NOBODY (cough, need I add a sarc tag here) can see fit to choke off the money supply.
Interesting times. Ole Remus said, "Stay away from crowds".
Remember to pick up your brass. Don't litter!
I suspect Tampon Timmy and Soi Boi Frey will let Minneapolis burn if it comes to that.
Because the crazies are just expressing themselves!!
What about you guys BP? Are you close to any hotspots? You might want to stick close to home too this weekend…
The Democommunists never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
While demonstrations in SoCal are inevitable, they won't go to full riot/arson/looting mode any longer, because the adults are now in charge, and shooting any such rioters is once again in fashion.
This is always and only how you stop them, whether anyone cares to admit that, or not. The prospect of swift and certain death sobers mobs up remarkably and expeditiously, in all times and places, and it was ever thus.
The Boston Massacre, the Storming of the Bastille and the Bolsheviks might like a word about your shooting into mobs.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it's the propaganda trigger of historical changes.
Try to reply without your usual insults Aesop. If you cannot recall such behavior, I can cut and paste your most recent for your attention.
Tiananmen Square 1989. Kent State 1970. Prague 1968. Watts 1965 (and most of the country '67-'68). Budapest 1956. Washington DC 1932. New York City 1863. Harper's Ferry 1859. I'm pretty sure President Washington didn't march to Western Pennsylvania in 1794 at the head of 12,000 Amish social workers, but you can fact-check that too, at your convenience.
One needn't insult you, when simply pointing out your historical cherry-picking of data is in full effect. (BTW, the Boston Massacre ended that riot too, on the spot, since that salient fact apparently escaped your notice. You could look it up.) Jesus, man, Wikipedia (like an encyclopedia, but for stupid/lazy people) even gives a list of US riots by date, from 1783-this week, FFS, where deadly force in most cases (and in the rest, the threat of same) was used to break up nearly all of them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States
Just spitballing, but I bet if you tried as many as two mouse clicks, you could find a similar list for worldwide incidents, just by looking.
The lesson is that when you go in on shooting mobs, go all in. Half-assed and half-witted fails every time.
QED
It's not the things you don't know that keep defeating you; it's the things you think you know that just aren't so. You'd do better to dig into history instead of your underpants for your ripostes.
Sorry if that's too on-the-nose, but here we are.
Appreciate the Link BP.
Interesting side-note as you mentioned the Boston Massacre Aesop: The one of the guys killed at the shootout? Crispus Attucks. A half-Injun/mulatto (per records from the time).
And OF COURSE he was turned into a 1700/1800's martyr like Saint Floyd of Fentanyl (piss be upon him)... to the point even to this day they point out the FIRST guy to get whacked in the Revolutionary War was a groid...
Any bets that the Brits saw that joker (who by reports had a club and was advancing on the Brits) and said "Oi! Lookit that! I'd say we put the golliwog down first!"? I mean talk about easy target identification amiright?
No doubt in my mind IMO
Any doubts who s FUNDING this evil?
Aesop will not like the truth.
Time will tell Aesop. I notice that the propaganda that Russians were out of ammo turned into the Russians are out producing ammo of all of NATO and America.
I DO wish Theye'd figure it out, either they are an existential threat OR bumbling losers with drunken troops, you know artillery accuracy minute of city, I could probably cut and paste those comment for you if you like.
Taxplayers, state and Federal, are paying through NGOs controlled by the Democrats as slush funds.
Also money from CCP and various oil rich Islamic states.
Then there is Soros and the current atheist Marxist organizer couple of No Kings Day. Don't Google them, it's more of self hating usual suspects that seem to show up for revolutions and stuff for the last hundred or more years.
Plus the elite using Walmart fortune and others that need their cheap labor aka, modern day slaves, to work the gardens, kitchens and replace those pesky citizens that actual want living wages and a stable country.
And the Cartel and the Mexican government, which are the same thing.
On a lesser note there are the RINOs sitting on their hands, that are hoping things don't get too bad since their buddies in lawn care, meat packing and home construction need the cheap labor.
The British soldiers were indicted, defended by John Adams and acquitted.
The Mr. made the same observation - flying the Mexican flag in protest. WTF?
False Dilemma Fallacy, -15 yards and loss of possession.
One can possess intercontinental nuclear weapons, yet still employ hordes of ill-trained ethnic conscripts and bumbling drunks for everyday military duties, rely on Nork troops for cannon fodder, Iranian hand-me-downs to supply the drones Russia cannot produce internally, and display a consistent inability to hit anything more precisely than minute of city, squandering any benefit of using tube artillery in the first place, while showing no signs of being able to conduct any effective combined arms operations ever, which combined multiple shortcomings and overall incompetence results in an endless conflict with an opponent a fraction of Russia's size and strength, despite starting out with massive overwhelming superiority in absolute quantities of troops and equipment.
A 1200+ day three-day military operation which has caused more Russian casualties that 40-60 Afghanistan invasions in 1/3rd the time bespeaks exactly that level of Russian military prowess and competence one usually has to go to Botswana, Uruguay, or Haiti to find.
^What he said.
IOW, the Usual Suspects.
What on God's green earth makes you think any of that is news to me, matism?
Commies gonna commie.
Who needs to listen to NPR, just trigger Aesop :-)
BTW what would you accept as a Russian VICTORY?
Please spell it out for us poor uninformed pogs.
That way we will have on record to measure If poor drunken Russians finally, probably accidently obtain that magnificent level of success.
Jews gotta Jew

MacD nailed it!!!
Nice try, but you fail the comprehension test.
"Russian victory" in Ukraine is an oxymoron, like a square circle, government help, or military intelligence.
First, find any of the multiple excuse lists for Russia's fourth invasion of Ukraine since 2014 that Russia promulgated at the outset.
(Picking any one such list, after Russia has moved the goalposts so many times in response to their continued failure there, would be unfair to Vlad, at this point. Leave the man a tiny bit of face to save, please.)
Compile that comprehensive list, and explain which objectives Russia has achieved. When you can't check anything off, explain which ones they theoretically could achieve, and the consequences, short- and long-term, for that achievement.
When that fails, understand that since Russia doesn't know when, whether, or how they're ever going to win, and keeps focusing on what they wish they could somehow do, and failing even that, how possibly can you or I? When that epiphany breaks in your mind like the sun coming up, let us know. Maybe then you'll grasp why I've said since about Day Three that it was fundamentally clear that Russia cannot win, for any value of that word, without doing violence to the English language.
{Brighter lights will note how remarkably similar Russian behavior in Ukraine mimics our own floundering years-long missteps in Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Vietnam.}
The moral of the story is don't get into wars you cannot win, especially when no one on your side knows where you're starting from, where victory lies, and how to get from A to Z.
IOW, if you can't win, don't play.
Even relatively half-bright scholars could see that sensible conclusion before Russia's latest invasion.
Vlad, however, was either sick that day in school, evidently. Or he's simply clinically insane.
Perhaps you were sick too?
But prove me wrong: explain to anyone how Russia ever walks away from this debacle without having blown its arms, legs, and wedding tackle off in the process, and living that way for the next century or more {Hint: they've already achieved that, already.}. It cannot be done, because it's already too late. And by Vlad's persistent refusal to acknowledge that basic truth, he's on the verge of getting all of NATO to accept Ukraine into full membership, knowing as they all do that Trump and any US objections will be gone in but a little while, if he isn't dragged to that conclusion himself before he's gone, kicking and screaming the entire way there.
He's being pushed there like a child who won't eat his vegetables by the rest of NATO, and it's painful to watch, but that's where things are, and where they're headed. His choices are to abandon all of NATO, or abandon Vlad. Abandoning Ukraine isn't an option any more, and it galls Trump almost as much as it does you.
Stop taking it personally, and embrace the inescapable truth: there is no such thing as Russian "winning" in Ukraine. Imagine if we'd realized that by 1200 days into Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan, and how much squandered blood and treasure the US could have saved by not continuing to throw itself into a bottomless abyss in all those cases.
Maybe that's why so many people online, like you, can't see that Vlad's forever war is exactly what we keep doing ourselves, over and over.
Hubris creates a monstrously large blind spot. Zoom out, and embrace the healing power of reality. It costs you nothing, and ends years of needless pain and suffering, including your own.
So, in typical Aesop manner you will not describe a Russian Victory. Your very good at avoiding questions you don't like and long explanations about anything else but the question.

Ever look in the mirror Aesop?
Michael,
I can't help you if you're just going to pound your head into the wall and call it "thinking".
FFS man, Russia can't describe a Russian victory. (Their latest delusional demand is that NATO withdraw its forces from NATO countries. You could look it up. Read that until the penny drops.) If Russia can't describe a Russian victory, why would you expect me - or anyone else - to do so?!?
There isn't any such thing as a "Russian victory", and I hate to break it to you, but the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are similarly non-existent.
Just because you want Russia to win, for any value of that word, doesn't mean it's possible, and wishing otherwise even if blood comes out of your forehead will not make it so.
You have your answer. If you can't handle the truth, don't ask for it. If you can't handle disappointment, stop betting on lame old nags to win.
While some supreme court DEI justice couldn't define a woman, Aesop cannot accept that perhaps Russia might prevail as the history books often enough show (WW2 perhaps?).
However, I can show you how America my beloved Country is most likely to fail

That Gold and Silver is rising isn't that they are more valuable, it's the unit of measure the US Dollar is falling ever so quickly in value.
But lets continue to pump our money and blood (already US advisers dead buddy) to a fight to "defeat Russia".
Or as you told Borepatch earlier this week
If you get nuked No Problem, if you don't get nuked No problem.
The distraction has worked. One day after Elon said Trump is in the Epstein files, ICE went to Home Depot to arrest day workers who are just trying to feed their families. And now we’re focused on LA
FFS man, Russia can't describe a Russian victory. (Their latest delusional demand is that NATO withdraw its forces from NATO countries. You could look it up. Read that until the penny drops.) If Russia can't describe a Russian victory, why would you expect me - or anyone else - to do so?!?
Aesop I DID look it up.
Seems Newsweek has been FORCED to post a retraction that they LIED about Russian Diplomats words.
AGAIN.
But Do keep on showing us how the mass media is always correct IF it gives your Russophobia pleasure.
Maybe next time you should quote the Star or something?

Maybe you should stop being a Baby Duck, thinking everything this week is new.
Newsweek retracted nothing, and lied about nothing.
Ryabkov's demand was that NATO stop deploying troops to NATO in all of Eastern Europe, not just the Baltic States.
IOW, "Hands off the Warsaw Pact, NATO; we want them all back." - Russia. That's been the consistent Russian position since 2021, before their latest Ukrainian invasion.
So nothing I posted is incorrect, and nothing you posted is correct.
Now tell us about "trustworthy sources", when you can't even be an honest broker of what's printed in black and white.
Nothing fits you so well as Dryden's comments to Lawrence:
