Journalist extraordinaire Julio Rosas of Twitchy sister-site Townhall is on the ground in Louisville, Kentucky as protesters are gathering to express their displeasure that the former police detective who shot and killed Breonna Taylor was not charged with homicide. The New York Post has already covered the “civil unrest” there:

“Riots.” The word is “riots.” https://t.co/qAax8qqXyY

We don’t know if we’re at the riot stage just yet (wait until after dark), but Rosas managed to catch on video one protester telling Louisville police to get ready to die:

And here are people blocking an intersection, and threatening to “burn it down” if they don’t get justice. Is it just us or did we see a flash of a guy carrying a hatchet on his shoulder?
As the BLM crowd chanted, “If we didn’t get it, burn it down!” they have marched outside the barricaded zone in Louisville and have shut down traffic in an intersection. pic.twitter.com/cIUtveA7xV

They would’ve protested if the ruling had been the other way around anyway, under the guise of “We were right all along so let’s riot in celebration” 🤦🏻♀️

Too bad this was all planned before there was any announcement.
My empathy is wearing thin.

It getting very weary. No time for due process it seems. Recruiting police is going to be a real problem.

What these people want is not justice. What they want is revenge for what they hallucinate happened.

Mass hysteria

Those people don’t know the facts and honesty don’t care

Mass deprogramming therapy required. But think they are too lost in thier own group mental illness.
