Riots in the United States.

Introduction

On 25 May, George Floyd, a 46-year-old-black man died in Minneapolis, Minnesota after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer knelt on Floyd's neck for almost 9 minutes while Floyd was handcuffed face down in the street.

Riots in the streets

The whole of the United States saw protests on the streets with many protesters resorting to violence in destroying shops and public property and burning them. The protests seemed spontaneous and having a mass base.

And slowly, the story from the other side has started trickling down. Candace Amber Owens Farmer, 31, is a black American conservative commentator and political activist. She is known for her pro-Trump activism that began around 2016 after being critical of Trump and the Republican Party, initially and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party.

Candace Owens continually claimed on twitter that George Soros and the Foundations, he founded, had "funded the chaos" in Minneapolis.

To understand the personality of Candace Owens, it would be worthwhile to go through a few of her tweets :-

  On George Floyd's Death

 "Nothing lifts my spirit more than hearing an educated black person, refusing to accept the main
   stream narrative. I do not support George Floyd and refuse to see him as a martyr. But I hope his
   family receives justice".

  On Tessa Majors' Murder

  "The three black teenagers who robbed and killed the white college student, Tessa Majors, have all
    been arrested and pleaded guilty. If 3 white kids killed a black kid - it would have been called a
    lynching. Why wasn't this considered a racially-motivated crime

  On the General Acceptance of Black Lives Matter

  "A Comovich chart reveals how much the topic "black lives matter" receives airtime  in media
   every year. You will see it peaked in 2016 and it is now peaking again in 2020. How are black
   people still falling for this election narrative?

  On Trump 2020

   "Nothing makes my spirit fly higher than a black American that is AWAKE, educated and not
    falling for the media's narrative. Let's goo! #TRUMP2020 @realDonald Trump#Candace Owens.

She was simply awesome
One needs guts to speak out
And she spoke from the heart.

She was the person who brought out that the late George Floyd wasn't clean, was a repeated offender and was always on the wrong end of the law with his dabbling on drugs, thefts and intimidating fellow citizens!

And when former President Barrack Obama waded into the controversy by saying that the riots would bring about change in America, it was an unusual step. Usually, former Presidents keep away from making statements while trying to work for solution,s behind the scene! The politicians, the world over, are the same. Ugh!



Tailpiece.

Got up at our usual time, the chores and was ready by a 5' past 9. The day saw rain in spurts but was otherwise quiet.
