Vandalism and defacement in DC

[Anonymous]

Same thing happened in 2020 during the 3-day BLM attack and siege of the White House. Millions of dollars in arson and other destruction, only a handful of arrests.

The precedent was established 4 years ago.

Any non-citizen pro-Hamas participants should be deported … to Gaza.

Do you not remember January 6th? Very few actual arrests that day in spite of the mass violence against law enforcement. They only arrested people after the fact using OSINT.

I expect DoJ to track down the perps in these videos and nailed them for assault. We should be calling for that to happen.

Hilarious. Keep dreaming.

No arrests for these adults who acted like children throwing temper tantrums, but these teens could see actual time for leaving skid marks on a pride crosswalk.

Hey - just an idea here - if you don't want skid marks on a pride flag, maybe not paint one on the street???

If these protester/vandals had defaced “Black Lives Matter Plaza” DC progressives would be calling for life imprisonment.

Not. one. arrest. Not one. Despite the assault on the park ranger. Despite the desecration of statues and monuments. Despite the vandalism.

Not one arrest.

Please tell us how no one is above the law. Evidently, those that are aligned politically with the ruling class are indeed above the law.

I'm a liberal Zionist Jew, so I'm no fan of these protesters, but... where do you get the idea that people spray-painting slogans about how Biden is committing genocide and "down with AmeriKKKa" are "aligned politically with the ruling class"? Is the ruling class suddenly pro-Hamas? There really doesn't seem to be much evidence for that idea.

Arrest them, deport if non-citizens

I agree with you, though it is worth noting that the Washington Times article misstates President Biden's response to the protestors' violent rhetoric: https://www.timesofisrael.com/white-house-denounces-repugnant-pro-hamas-rhetoric-at-dc-protest-against-israel/ .

Where did they misstate Biden's response? They didn't.

And, the Times of Israel has a response from Andrew Bates, not Biden. Would love for a reporter to actually ask Joe for a response.

Not one person was arrested. Pathetic. This is why these lunatics continue this behavior. There are no consequences. Deface the monuments.... nothing. Vandalize the grounds....... nothing. And, leave a pile of trash in your wake.
They were also covering their faces - against DC law.

When will law enforcement crack down on these idiots?

From a political point of view, why bother? Arresting them just gets them attention, which is what they want. As long as no one gets hurt and we are talking minor and repairable damage, why not just let the tantrums go on and serve to discredit the entire movement? People learn to ass page these acts with the political goals.

Also, who knows who pays them to be there and to do these things. Some of the acts are so silly that it might as well be the Israelis paying them.

They should, at minimum, pay the bill for the clean up. The entire clean up.
Or, we could send the bill directly to George Soros because he is probably funding this whole misguided movement.

Yes, George Soros, the Holocaust survivor, is funding the pro-Hamas protests. Sure. Do we really need more antisemitic conspiracy theories about rich powerful Jews pulling all the strings in the middle of this?

It is a feature not a bug. These privileged a$$holes know that DC has legalized crime. They have watched as their fellow hamas brethren have gotten away with no consequences all over the country.

Why would they be worried?

HAHAHAHA. Show me the long list of people that the DOJ hunted down the mass violence and destruction in DC during the summer of love. Show us how they got the same treatment that the J6 people did with their names all over the media after their arrests. Largest FBI manhunt in history and these dicks throwing bottles at an officer won't get a slap on the wrist.

I'm a moderate Zionist Jew who believes in liberalism and not the PP you're responding to. My take is that the ruling class is willing to direct or tolerate public rage toward the Jews to take the heat off the actually powerful people and institutions. Unless they fail to support Biden against Trump, which is a real danger, these Hamas supporters won't take America down. The Jews are an acceptable sacrifice, though, and there is a very old tradition of blaming us for all the world's problems to launder the guilt of the truly powerful.

Have you been in a coma? Not seen our best and brightest on the most expensive and elite campuses being pro-Hamas? These newly minted Harvard/Stanford/Columbia grads ARE THE RULING CLASS.

The new graduates are the ruling class? Or the university presidents that shut down the protests, or the hedge fund billionaires who pushed out multiple university presidents?

That's certainly true. But it's also different from claiming that the ruling class supports Hamas (or thinks Biden is presiding over a genocide). And I don't really see any evidence that the White House is directing rage at Jews, either.
