Violent Leftists torched historic St. John’s Church across from the White House on Sunday night.
St. John’s was designed by noted architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe to serve Episcopalians in the neighborhoods in the western end of Washington. The cornerstone of St. John’s was set on September 14, 1815.
Beginning with James Madison, until the present, every person who has held the office of President of the United States has attended a service at St. John’s.
Tonight violent leftists torched the historic House of God.

The only place safe from rioters in Washington D. C. is Barack Obama's 8,200-square-foot Kalorama enclave, also known as "headquarters."

Remember the Watts Riots? The young motorist Rodney Kind was beaten by LAPD and it was caught on video. Several days into the rioting burning and looting Mr. King stepped in front of the cameras and asked his now-famous question: Can't we all just get along?". I suggest the family of Mr. Floyd step in from of the cameras and ask the same question and see if they can put an end to this.

According to Fox News, the recently renovated day care center was destroyed by fire, but the main church is okay. Low income black kids used that daycare center. Not the white kids of wealthy white Democrats.

I wonder where all the right wing militia that the left says we have to guard against has gone. Where are all the white supremists? Where are the police? Where is the national guard? What happened to the lockdowns? Where are all the edicts from the Governors and Mayors about people's personal safety? Where have they all gone? I wonder what phase or tranche of rioting we are in now. Is this phase 6, or what? Should there be a nationwide lockdown so a couple hundred thugs can burn down all the major cities? The media won't ask these questions, because they are busy inciting the riots, immune somehow from the RICO laws, which are only applied to conservative politicians and church goers.

This is exactly what these Antifa people do. Muzzies and communists. They hate Christians, so they burn their churches.

Wasn't this the place that was known as the 'church of Presidents'? Torching this just proves even more how much Floyd is so not their real agenda. He is just another victim to hide behind, the cowards. After reading the overnight news posted, I would say they better get their licks in now, for Barr has resurrected some very interesting laws from 1968 that prohibit interstate rioting. Now that these thugs are designated terrorists finally, maybe Trump and Barr can squash them like the cockroaches they truly are.

#5 needs to stop following the LSM, they are not going to cover anything that shows people are rising up to protect their properties. The Salem Oregon salon owner who was in the news recently for opening without permission, put out a call for some armed protection, and she got it, and they also looked out for the neighboring businesses as well. We are rising up, in response to the Antifa thugs, vs the PD's who are standing down, standing aside and letting the decent citizenry live in terror and fear. Governors and Mayors who allow this, could now be prosecuted under anti-terrorism laws. Wonder if they have the smarts to realize this yet?

The communists who we let run our schools hate churches, and generations of American students revere the notion of a separation between church and state. So why not burn everything down, they figure.

Should have had armed security, but too late for that.
Evil is afoot. They tried some stuff in KC, and when curfew was imposed, the police fired tear gas and flash bangs and dispersed them. Well done, KCMO PD.

How many riots has Watts hosted, anyway? Before the Rodney King riots happened in March of 1991, The Watts Riots referred to those that occurred in August of 1965.
And I'm not sure which I would consider more disturbing -- if the rioters torched the church without realizing it was a church (a desire to destroy that was too consuming to care what it was destroying), or if they torched it because it was a church (a targeted desire to destroy a place of worship).

every picture i've seen that purports to shoe "white supremacist" rioting and looting look like black lives matter and antifa to me.
