I remember the call from my husband on May 31. It was our anniversary, and he was out running errands before he came home—not because we had plans, but because there was a curfew in place in Minneapolis. He called to tell me he had to drive to a nearby suburb to pick up a medical prescription. "Our Walgreens on Hennepin Avenue isn't there anymore," he said. "It was burned to the ground."
Over the spring and summer of 2020, thousands of businesses were looted, damaged, or totally destroyed during the George Floyd protests—especially here, where Floyd was killed. Every day we read heartbreaking stories of business owners begging

Excellent opinion piece. I am surprised it is published in Newsweek. But, it is just what Americans think. No one cares about January 6, except the leftists who are afraid of flag-carrying protesters. I am sick of them.

Global Marxist Communist's all Lucifer's demonic servants working to destroy America and the world from within to help Satan in his effort to destroy 'I AM' God our Father creator, and rule the world of evil.
Video; Biden tells how democrats stole the 2020 election and twice for Obama.
The Marxist Communist democrats, rino's, etc., are the real danger to America from within.
Biden himself with a slip of his tongue, for once told the truth of the Marxist Communist democrats and they are all guilty of treason.
October 2020, before the election; speaking to former Barack Obama staffers on Pod Save America, host Dan Pfeiffer asked Biden what his message was to people who have not yet voted.
https://youtu.be/C6u1uKznCYw Biden's confession starts at time 17:40 on video interview.
Joe Biden: "Well, first of all, you know, uh, what really rankles, uh, my opponent is I say that, uh, the thing that bothers him most is he’s not a patch on Barack’s jeans."
"Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together — and you’d [sic] guys, did it for our, the president Obama’s administration, before this — we have put together, I think, the most extensive and and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."
Biden does not correct himself after saying “voter fraud organization,” nor did the hosts attempt to correct or clarify his statement.

Jenna nailed it. I too am shocked that this appeared in Newsweek. But they have had a few articles like this in recent months - maybe they have decided to get unwoke and not go broke.

May 29 2020 the White house was mobbed with 60 secret service members injured. Fences torn down, fires set.

"The Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 has been the lead story in the liberal mainstream media all week long." When I finished that sentence, I went back up to check of it said Newsweek at the top. Yep. It did.

The inserted video clip of the Capitol breech stills are NewsWeak's true colors. Allowing the writer to speak her mind, but making sure J6 is presented in its' ugliest infamy.

IMO the most disgusting part of Jan6 was the whining and crying on the part of the Capitol police. An average LEO has the possibility of facing those dangers while just performing routine traffic stops and domestic violence calls daily for an entire career. They are required to confront actual violent homicidal criminals
Interrogatory: were the Capitol police paid while the National Guard was defending the Capitol for months? Rhetorical question.

Finally a MSM outlet mentions the months of terror the residents of the cities the were under siege during "the summer of love."
What must it have been like for ordinary people who were caught up in that? I think a person could claim PTSD legitimately after being inside their business as a firebomb came through the windows, or of being robbed of their entire inventory. Lives lost, jobs gone, income gone. Then to be told by the city to clear the debris or face huge fines.
The Democrats have never expressed any concern for those people who were harmed most during these "mostly peaceful" riots that I have heard. Aren't many of these people the ones they claim to "fight for?" As always they move on leaving suffering citizens in their wake, resting assured that they will still have their vote.

Never mind that over the course of the ''summer of love peaceful protests'' there were a couple of dozen people murdered [oh, and most of them were black].

My question this was the one year anniversary of 1-6 is the left going to memorialize this from now on or is it over? Will it be an annual mourning like the made-up fake holiday Kwanzaa and Juneteenth? January 6 is being milked to disqualify Trump criminally from running so I see the left harping on this date at least until 2024. Let's go democrats

Of course. January 6th was perpetrated by dirty white domestic terrorists but the burning of cities was done by the Golden Children who were only looking for a better life by stealing what they were too lazy to work for. The Antifa goons and the BLM goons reminded us all how children turn out if they have no morals, no responsibility and no ambition. They found religion for a short time in the worship of George Floyd but his time on the altar was short-lived. Some good came out of the billions of dollars in destruction and the murders and injury of many of those hated police, Patrisse Cullers now has several nice houses to entertain the rest of the BLM royalty. Democrats should be proud of what they have done for this lovely woman. One day BLM dupes will begin to question where all of those donations from our woke corporations went. I hope they get some money to help support the mulatto children of all of those fat white girls who worked as human shields for them.

The reason that this article was truthful and well written was because a freelance journalist has the skills to do a better job of writing than our so-called professional journalists.
