I didn't know that you could use "mob rule" as a verb or "graveyard dead" as an adjective. Florida grammar, I guess.

The teenagers mob ruled all the pizza and 'Dew and collapsed graveyard dead on the couch.

Sitting comfortable and safely in my home, with no threat of violence or fear, and with great distance away from the events of yesterday I completely reject your thesis. Your article is nicely written but like so many pundits you cherry pick information to craft your story. Violence brings violence, and hate speech is the gasoline on the fire. It astounds me that you completely ignore the hate rhetoric of the leaders and operatives of the Democrat party, and their many echo chambers. Their diatribes are unrelenting and uncompromising. Leading up to this week there have been virtually no Democrat leaders who take an even or studied view on the barrage hate rhetoric around the problem of illegal immigration, or of the demeaning and venomous remarks coming from the party and its followers. The exception seems to be the Honorable Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. John Fetterman. I sincerely ask how you can talk about weaponization of the police and military, when Maxine Waters, an elected official, goes before a line of federal enforcement people to castigate them with ugliness in her facial expressions, and taunts them with words that they better shoot straight. That kind of arrogance, that kind of deceit, is as much infuriating as it is dishonest in its delivery. It is that kind of hate speech that fuels crowds to violence and it is copied by virtually all of the organizations running the protests against this administration. It is disrespectful to the principles of this country and the beliefs of the majority of Americans' who legally placed President Trump in office. Most of "The People" are sick and tired of the hate speech. We are sick and tired of the countless crimes by undocumented and illegal residents in our nation, who do not care for our way of life enough to respect the law, both state and federal. Living in Houston I have front row seating to the black market in human labor that is exploited by greed on both sides of the political spectrum. I see the women with children sitting in the heat on the side of the roads selling flowers, being run by others. I see the countless larcenous crimes that plague our neighborhoods and the flood of hit run accidents by uninsured drivers. (The obvious question is why are they uninsured.) The party in denial is like the old South not admitting they lost the war. They can't admit they lost the election, so now they carry on political rebellion in order to ensure they kind take power again. Please note that they all talk about power and not governance of the people. So as you craft your next story please try to expose the seeds of hate.
