As part of the “George Floyd Riots,” which we are expected to believe were due to a great outpouring of emotion over the unfortunate death of a criminal druggie under the influence of a lethal dose of fentanyl, the White House itself was attacked by a mob. There were no quiet middle aged civilians being ushered through the White House doors, and unlike the later January 6 incident at the capital it was not mostly peaceful.
The question is not so much about what happened as it is about why there is such a double standard. It was an event at least on a par with January 6, but the official reaction has been almost non-existent.
A Fox News report on the event is here:
Part of the Fox report reads as follows:
A senior official in the direct chain of command for defending Washington D.C. told Fox News of the injuries to Secret Service agents, some of whom were hurt by rioters throwing bottles and Molotov cocktails in Lafayette Park, just across from the presidential residence. The official initially put the number of agents injured at over 50, but that may have referred to the weekend toll; the Secret Service has since said the number injured on Sunday was 14.
Lights that normally illuminate the exterior of the White House were disabled early Monday morning, leading to some reports that the Secret Service wanted to use night-vision equipment to monitor protesters. White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told Fox News on Monday, however, that the lights were turned off due to “standard protocol," not for security reasons. The complex's external lights are normally disabled at 11 p.m. ET unless specific requests are made to keep them online, including by media networks.
Additionally, the entire Washington, D.C. National Guard was being called in to help with the response to protests outside the White House and elsewhere in the nation’s capital, according to two Defense Department officials. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said Sunday that she had requested 500 DC Guardsman to assist local law enforcement. Later on Sunday, as the protests escalated, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy ordered the rest of the Guardsman — roughly 1,200 soldiers — to report.
As authorities clashed with demonstrators for the third straight night, the parish house connected to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church across the street from the White House was set on fire late Sunday. The parish house contains offices and parlors for gatherings. The basement, which was also torched, is used for childcare during church services, and had recently undergone renovations.
The January 6 committee was stacked and seemed to be in the vein of the old Soviet show trials; we have found the men so we will show you the crime. Can you say “kangaroo court?”
A vast man-hunt was undertaken, and people locked up for long periods on flimsy charges after being let into the building. The idea that there were not individuals fomenting the riot to make Trump supporters look bad stretches credulity, and it may well be that the hope and plan was that a prominent person would be injured or killed so as to allow new restrictions on the populace. Video evidence from the capitol was suppressed and not allowed to see the light of day.
For the May 29 incident there is no show trial, and there is no investigation at all, at least not that we can see. You would expect the FBI to be searching the entire country and traveling vast distances to round up anyone associated in any way with the violence, including those just standing nearby and watching. Where is our May 29 Committee?
In the event that the there is a change of leadership in Washington will we see a May 29 committee be formed? There could be a committee made up of almost all Republicans with a couple of Democrats carefully picked to not rock the boat, but that would be acting as badly as the predecessors. It would be better to play it straight in hopes of returning some semblance of belief in the Justice system.
"Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
But we should not stop with the May 29 event, there were riots all around the country in 2020, and there is every indication that they were planned, orchestrated and supported. They were run like military operations with command and control, logistics and various support elements. This constitutes a crime of first order, but it seems we are all supposed to just forget about it.
An article on the American Partisan website describes the military-like activities at the link.
https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/06/from-a-reader-a-look-at-antifas-field-organization/
Below is a portion of the above linked article at American Partisan, but I urge reading the whole article:
Antifa tactical units are organized into standard ‘company structure’ of up to 20 individual soldiers under the immediate control of a company commander. While there are ‘special units’, most notable the ‘reconnaissance & coordination’ teams of bicyclists, the base of the C&C structure for Antifa is the company.
Company commanders are ‘first lieutenants’ and may be identified in the field by their actions within the group, and frequently by possession of DX SDR units of some form. These ‘duplex (send/receive) software defined radio’ units will be small, and most probably attached to a smart phone. It is through the SDR’s that the encrypted commands are passed to operational units. On arrest, 1st Lieutenants have been observed discarding their identifying equipment as well as destroying their phones. First Lieutenants can also be identified as being the local hub for bicycle traffic. In observations of rioting/looting activity, particularly with long distance videos of quality, bicyclists can clearly be seen reporting to 1st Lieutenants & even seeking them out in the mob. For this activity, bicyclists have been noted to employ ‘proximate apps’ to locate their units & commanders.
I urge everyone to read the entire article to get an appreciation of what actually transpired in those riots. The actions of the media, in which they intentionally portrayed the riots as those of good-hearted citizens trying to bring justice, was itself an evil act – being on the ground there themselves they could not have been blind to the organized nature.
Not every city suffered badly at the hands of Antifa. Consider Detroit. The police chief at the time, one James Craig, was a black man who experienced the Detroit riots while a young lad, then was treated to a repeat as a police officer in Los Angeles. He told Antifa that they could protest all they wanted, but any crimes and they were going to jail. He was backed up by the prosecutor and the Democrat mayor, so Detroit escaped. Seattle and Portland could have done the same, but did not.
I believe there were towns around the country in which the rioting did not occur due to an armed citizenry, but I think many such stories have been scrubbed from the net.

Are we going to see a congressional investigation into these riots as a whole? Who brought in the pallets of bricks? Who trained and organized the operation? Supposedly it was Antifa, but this type of action is beyond that of some addled college kids, or even less addled older adults. The propaganda is wearing thin concerning the “summer of love,” and I think more and more people are seeing it as a massive crime. An investigation would be nice, but don't hold your breath.

Great post - a topic I don't always think of, but one that truly deserves reporting on and raising ongoing concerns about. The George Floyd protests by actual citizens were one thing, although the edict to not go out to supersreader events at the time was magically and illogically overturned in favor of fighting racism, but the riots - the nonstop, ultra violent riots that MSM totally downplayed, were absolutely orchestrated by outside forces. They were funded by the usual suspect, George Soros, who sent in bus loads of dedicated rioters to inflict as much damage on the US as possible. It was a coordinated attack, not an organic movement. Their goal was not about fighting racism; it was about further destabilizing the culture in the run-up to the 2020 election.
If you want to see what the MSM did not report but instead buried - in other words the whole truth - I highly recommend this film - The Fall of Minneapolis:
https://rumble.com/v3vyvzv-the-fall-of-minneapolis.html
Among its pertinent topics, it shows numerous exculpatory facts in the Chauvin case that the media and politicians knowingly hid from public view. It conveys the total distortion of the truth from the scumbags in power.
Meanwhile, CCP-trained Marxist, Tim Walz, encouraged the burning down of the city and the ensuing violence, murders, arson, looting, attacks on police, and utter destruction. Kamala cheered on the letting out of volient rioters through revolving prison doors.
We need accountability for so many deliberately inflicted atrocities since 2020: the not-mostly-peaceful-riots; the barage of lies and cover-ups from the MSM; the malicious political persecutions; the stolen 2020 election; the J6 set-up; and most urgently, the bioweapon and toxic countermeasures killing millions of people, globally, through jab-induced turbo-illnesses.
A day of reckoning will come. I hope to live long enough to see it, though if not, I am confident that ultimately history will get it right...and it will not be kind to the network of demonic sociopaths directing the carnage...or to those who support them.
You are right on the mark. I have a relative who I know to be one of the recruiters/organizers/planners leading up to the riots. I cannot say any more here.
