Another weekend has passed, and more and more examples of the violence that leftists say doesn’t exist among the “peaceful protests” happening around the country presented itself and provided evidence to the contrary of their narrative. Just pick a city. Whether it’s Portland or Seattle or Chicago, “activism” has taken a turn in 2020 that has rendered those that practice the term as violent criminals.
Let’s go in alphabetical order and break down the violence that occurred in far-left cities across the country.
In Chicago, the “unrest” reportedly came about in response to a “police-involved shooting” that rioters and looters used as an excuse to destroy parts of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, a shopping district in the heart of downtown Chicago that locals and tourists alike patronize.
As you’ll see in the tweet below, looting seems to be no big deal for the criminal in the video. These criminals seem to be so unfazed by their activity that they now livestream their crimes.

If that weren’t enough, here’s video of one looter helping others break into a business by driving their car through a giant show window:

There are so many more examples of the rioting and looting in Chicago that you kind of have to go on Twitter and sift through all of them. Apparently, rioting and looting are done in part to help someone’s video go viral now.
As for Portland, the local police department (PPD) declared the actions taken by criminals Sunday night as yet another riot after video showed rioters setting fire to the Portland Police Association building.
Examples of the criminal activity in Portland are also boundless on platforms like YouTube.
Seattle saw Antifa criminals assault a “street preacher” outside its city hall on Sunday, according to MRCTV’s Brittany Hughes.

Leftists, including those in congress, will continue to cover for these criminals, making it seem as if they’re all misunderstood or simply a “myth.”
Those of us that believe what our eyes see and ears hear are able to tell the difference between actual peaceful protests and what we’ve been seeing over the last three months — crime run rampant using activism as an excuse for their criminal behavior.
