Why haven’t the Feds infiltrated and broken up Antifa? They’ve certainly had the time. I can only speculate the reasons but it doesn’t sit well with me. Government would rather prosecute easy targets like non-essential business owners trying to put food on the table. Nope, there is certainly something rotten in Denmark, err D.C.

Apparently Cuomo doesn’t mind if people break and burn things, just mind that social distancing!

…
And Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, whose own city has seen major crowds of protesters for several days, did not criticize the protesters for not practicing social distancing, though he did urge the activists to refrain from violence.

“Let’s remember why we march, protect each other, and bring a peaceful end to a painful night,” he said.
…
In the tweet immediately preceeding that one, Garcetti issued a “friendly reminder for any Angelenos returning to their houses of worship this weekend: face coverings and physical distancing are required for all services.”

“Houses of worship must not exceed 25% of capacity or 100 people, whichever is less,” he wrote to the religious residents of the city.

This sequence of events is all too familiar from American history. A new paper by Princeton University political scientist Omar Wasow, a long-time researcher on civil rights and politics, sheds some light on why nonviolent protest tends to provoke sympathy while violent protests tend to polarize and even empower the protesters’ political opponents. Wasow’s father was a part of “Freedom Summer,” the bold activist venture to register black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Wasow had long wondered how the momentum of civil-rights activism was blunted over the course of the decade.

Wasow looked at protests that took place between 1960 and 1972, measuring how they shifted public opinion. What he found is that the civil rights movement’s nonviolent protests in the early 1960s were remarkably effective in moving public opinion, pushing the general public toward support for civil rights; these protests also even increased the Democratic presidential vote share in counties proximate to nonviolent actions.

But things changed drastically when protests turned violent in the late ’60s. Wasow determines that white public opinion shifted so sharply in favor of social control that the violence may have tipped the election to Richard Nixon:
