Just days ago, I warned that the fascistic antics of rich, white, wannabe revolutionaries were causing BLM protests to lose their moral high ground. I urged BLM leaders to
call out and admonish the privileged white kids who apparently see these protests as little more than venues to play urban guerillas, or to channel Nazi Brownshirts as the case might be.

I was simply stupefied that, instead of condemning their egregious vandalism, the likes of BLM poster girl AOC were rationalizing it. This included her patently absurd assertion that these vandals were looting because they needed food to eat and clothes to wear.
Yet you’d be surprised at the backlash I got. Many readers accused me of whitewashing the pillaging Black protesters were perpetrating themselves.
Of course, I did no such thing. In fact, many of the pictures I posted in commentaries on the hijacking of these protests feature Blacks fleeing the scene of rampant looting with – as I quipped – big-screen TVs and expensive tennis shoes … “to eat.”
But here is the incriminating evidence that vindicates my warning about the way these purported white comrades-in-protest were undermining the BLM cause:
The so-called revolutionaries who were busted for rioting at a New Afrikan Black Panther Party rally took a break from their yacht club lives and modeling careers to be a part of the mayhem.
The seven ‘comrades’ — including wealthy Upper East Sider Clara Kraebber — had their mugshots tweeted out by the NYPD early Wednesday, days after their arrests for smashing storefront windows in the Flatiron District.

Meanwhile, these white comrades have hijacked protests in similar fashion in other cities (notably Kenosha, Minneapolis, Louisville, Portland, Miami, DC, and Chicago). What’s more, these yuppies rove from city to city to act out their urban-guerilla fantasies … and manufacture content for their social media pages.
I rest my case.
