"Poisonous fruit from trees planted in the sixties."

Oregon Muse writes in part in the Ace of Spades blog this morning,

...Some poisonous fruit from trees planted in the 1960s is now coming fully ripe. Because that's when many of the elected officials who are running our blue cities came of age and they've seen those protests. They may even have taken part in them. At the very least, they sympathized with them. The point is, these elected officials have more in common, ideologically and culturally, with the BLM/Antifia thug rioters than they do with the citizens they've sworn to protect. So they are really hesitant to do anything to actually stop the riots (which they keep insisting are "mostly peaceful"). They don't want to see their besties in antifa get their heads busted or water cannoned. They'd rather see stores looted and burned rather than be perceived by their buds in BLM as being insufficiently down with the struggle. They know whose side they're on and guess what, it's not ours.

Below is a photo of a Seattle police precinct. The cops are gone and it has been turned into a delightful community center complete with appropriate graffiti, fencing, and boarded up windows. Let's all take our children to the community center!
