Fires Set Outside White House as Uprising Against Racist Police Murders Continues

In Washington D.C. on Sunday night, revolutionaries set fires outside the White House, while Trump hid in a bunker. Meanwhile, stores were looted and fires were set throughout Soho in Manhattan, as the uprising against racist police murders continued in cities across the US.

Multiple fires broke out near the White House late on Sunday evening, as militants gathered in Washington DC for the third night in a row following the murder of George Floyd by pigs in Minneapolis.

Police were completely overwhelmed and unable to enforce an 11 PM curfew. Revolutionaries greatly outnumbered the few hundred police, supported by national guardsmen. The lights illuminating the north side of the White House were turned off. In the past, they were only ever turned off when a president dies.

A fire was started in the basement of St John’s church, which since 1816 has been the “Church of the Presidents.” Every president from James Madison on has worshipped there.

Around the corner, militants smashed the plate glass window front of the headquarters of the AFL-CIO Union federation, which has affiliated police unions, and someone started a fire in the lobby.  Fifty yards away, on I Street, a car was burning.

Looting was reported at several commercial districts around the capital, including Georgetown, the old money neighborhood to the west of the White House, where gunshots were reported.

Aerial views of the area around the White House showed it wreathed in black smoke.

Donald Trump; his wife, Melania; and son Barron had been taken down to the White House bunker at the height of the protests on Friday. Trump has reportedly expressed that he fears for his safety, as revolutionaries have come close to overtaking the barriers separating them from the White House.

In Soho, one of Manhattan’s wealthiest neighborhoods, widespread looting took place on Sunday night, as fires were also set by revolutionaries around the city.

Bloomingdales, Chanel, Gucci, Coach, Supreme, and Louis Vuitton were among the retailers completely looted by 3 a.m., their previously boarded-up windows cast aside on the sidewalk. Groups of militants sprinted through the streets carrying sneakers and luxury items.

The expropriations in Soho followed the fourth day of anti-pig protests in New York in the name of George Floyd, whose murder at the hands of a police officer has sparked uprisings across the country. Turnout for marches and rallies in the five boroughs swelled Sunday.

Liberals have been effectively taking the sides the police, acting as peace police to scold revolutionaries and brokering “truces” with police for publicity photos of them taking knees. However, this has done nothing to change the momentum for revolutionaries, who are continuing to set fires to police vehicles and expropriate from capitalist strongholds. America is on the brink of complete revolution, which will overthrow the ruling elite, pig police force and military and capitalist infrastructure.

Lol...yeah I was laughing at the photos of cops taking a knee with protesters pretending to be sympathetic. Then 20 minutes later the same cops are tear gassing them.

"America is on the brink of complete revolution, which will overthrow the ruling elite, pig police force and military and capitalist infrastructure." Er, ah, no. "America is on the brink of a complete counter-revolution, which will install a fascist dictatorship, political police and military occupation of civil society."

(sorry -- the irony got the best of me)

"America is on the brink of a complete counter-revolution, which will install a fascist dictatorship, political police and military occupation of civil society."

Wait....don't we already have all that?

A second term of Trump, backed with full open backing from right-wing militias and KKK is what it'll be.

He'll probably be impeached by 2022 as I suspect he will be dealing with a democrat dominated house and senate. He'll be a lame duck dotard and I prefer that to that cognitard Biden who will be controlled by the professional managerial class and will interrupt the more interesting elements of the democratic party(or even something from outside of the 2 parties) from coming to power.

"America is on the brink of complete revolution, which will overthrow the ruling elite, pig police force and military and capitalist infrastructure..."

Was this teleported from the manifestos of the Weather Underground or the Symbionese Liberation Army, circa 1973? Acid is groovy...I'm peaking on my inability to come up with a credible, grounded analysis of the real world right now!

Oh wow groovy walls of the Bastille are all purply and flowing and bending like plasticine, So easy having rev tripping everything is overthrown by my mind,,,,,

Err, not quite tripping dude, its all in your head. No rev has ever been achieved anywhere, only a restructuring of existing values and cosmic belief systems.

As i watch, who cares about some fires in the front of white house? There's so much going on, why pay attention to central governement, which is interesting only for politicians...

Anyway, why fight about if america is on the brink of revolution or other side round, does it matter for the question of what to do now???

Is it the Führerbunker -- or a future cellar in Yekaterinburg?

The New York Times reported:

"Inside the White House, the mood was bristling with tension. Hundreds of protesters were gathering outside the gates, shouting curses at President Trump and in some cases throwing bricks and bottles. Nervous for his safety, Secret Service agents abruptly rushed the president to the underground bunker used in the past during terrorist attacks.

The scene on Friday night, described by a person with firsthand knowledge, kicked off an uneasy weekend at the White House as demonstrations spread after the brutal death of a black man in police custody under a white officer’s knee. While in the end officials said they were never really in danger, Mr. Trump and his family have been rattled by protests near the Executive Mansion that turned violent for a third night on Sunday."
