\n Riot watch: Yes, Antifa = Terrorists<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Trump has it fundamentally right about antifa, explains the Washington Examiner\u2019s editorial board. The nation is seeing \u201ca troupe of professional revolutionaries and marauders\u201d exploit \u201cthe senseless and callous police killing of George Floyd.\u201d Coined by the Soviet Union to \u201cmollify credulous Western democracies,\u201d \u201cthe term \u2018anti-fascist\u2019 began as a lie\u201d and \u201cremains a lie today.\u201d Today\u2019s antifa \u201cdemands that when its black-hooded actors take to the streets to wound and maim passersby in the name of some nice-sounding stated cause,\u201d they merit your sympathy. If only \u201cmore people understood their overarching goals: the violent overthrow of the US government, the abolition of private enterprise and the violent suppression of the speech of anyone who disagrees with their ends or violent means.\u201d And \u201cthe word for people who use violence to silence and intimidate others to advance a political cause, who try to make people afraid in their own cities and towns,\u201d is indeed \u201cterrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conservative: Roots of the Unrest<\/strong><\/p>\n

The current riots reflect \u201cexactly what is taught in schools and preached over the airwaves and in respectable op-eds,\u201d sighs Daniel McCarthy at Spectator USA. Indeed, \u201cAcademics and celebrities have taken to Twitter<\/a> to assure these wonderful young louts that riots really do reform politics and the civil-rights movement was about violence from the beginning.\u201d And \u201ceven the most delicate of pundits isn\u2019t as bothered by the firebombs and pillaging as he is by Donald Trump\u2019s next tweet: that\u2019s real violence.\u201d In reality, \u201cthe radicalism the country needs\u201d is \u201can unyielding moral and intellectual critique of the institutions\u201d that produce such idiocy. \u201cDon\u2019t literally burn the universities or storm CNN, but put the idea of what they have allowed themselves to become to the flame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eye on the media: Ignoring Culprits on the Left <\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of our media and political elites have blamed \u201cwhite supremacists\u201d and even \u201cthe Russians\u201d for the \u201crioting and looting\u201d going on across the country \u2014 anyone, Jonathan Turley quips at The Hill, except \u201cgroups lionized or tolerated by the left.\u201d In fact, suggesting that \u201cthe rioting was the work of white supremacists or Russians\u201d is \u201cmanifestly implausible\u201d: Arrest data show \u201ca majority of those arrested in Minneapolis were from the city,\u201d and the \u201cfour people arrested in New York in fire bombing attacks were all state residents.\u201d Alas, the media and \u201cmany Democratic leaders\u201d have always been \u201cconspicuously silent in denouncing\u201d far-left and anarchist movements like antifa. They should watch out, Turley warns \u2014 and remember that a \u201crevolution devours its children.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the right: Time To Take On Police Unions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of mouthing the same old \u201ccalls for change\u201d in the wake of George Floyd\u2019s \u201chorrific death,\u201d Americans should \u201cconsider the role that police unions play in perpetuating police brutality,\u201d argues National Review\u2019s John Fund. Mayor Bill de Blasio, for one, has never challenged police unions\u2019 \u201cvast political power,\u201d which they often use to \u201ccover up and deflect charges of police misconduct.\u201d Like \u201call unions,\u201d police unions \u201cwill often stop at nothing to protect\u201d their members, even negotiating contracts that \u201cprevent the removal of bad app<\/a>les.\u201d To assure accountability, the Supreme Court may have to reconsider the \u201cdoctrine of qualified immunity.\u201d After all, weeding out \u201crogue police officers who routinely violate constitutional rights\u201d should be \u201can issue that unites all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Libertarian: Whither Social-Distance Shamers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same \u201chealth authorities, government officials, amateur social-media sleuths\u201d and establishment-media sources that shamed people for \u201cfailing to socially distance\u201d have \u201csuddenly\u201d gone silent when it comes to the George Floyd protesters, observes Reason\u2019s Robby Soave. The media blasted Govs. Brian Kemp (Ga.) and Ron DeSantis (Fla.) for wanting to reopen. Yet since the protests began, there\u2019s been no \u201cwidespread condemnation of the protesters\u201d for \u201cmanifestly violating the social-distance orders.\u201d Our elites\u2019 \u201ccommitment to zealous enforcement\u201d of the lockdowns, then, \u201cwasn\u2019t as absolute as they claimed\u201d: They\u2019re \u201cwilling to make exceptions for their preferred causes.\u201d<\/p>\n
