ClosedBecause of a wave of violence following in the wake of peaceful protests after George Floyd, a black man, died in the custody of the Minneapolis, Minnesota Police Department, Governor Gavin Newsom closed California government offices in downtown areas of cities across the state.

According to the Sacramento Bee late yesterday,

“After consultation with the California Highway Patrol and Office of Emergency Services, the decision was made this evening to advise all state departments with offices in downtown city areas to close tomorrow, and to notify staff this evening of the decision,” agency spokeswoman Amy Palmer wrote in a Sunday night email. “All state agencies and departments were given this direction by the California Department of Human Resources.”

Man they’ll shut the government down for any reason. Can we keep it shut down? After all it’s nonessential.

What would you of perferred he done? Went outside and shot one of them? Had snipers on the roof shoot all of them? Called in a drone strike?

I would prefer he behave like a president and shut his damn mouth for a change and keep his scrawny fingers off the internet. He is the cause of all this unrest and hate. He promotes it. To say he disgusts me is an understatement

North Korea misses you. Dear Leader has a suit your size. Grab your jackboots, the rickety tuna boat is waiting to whisk you away to true freedom ….

I think he directed his staff to fold up a bunch Origami Peace Cranes and pass them out to the protesters.

If the Governor was worth 2 cents he would have had all the riots stopped days ago. He, instead fanned the flames of hate like the hater he is. Now law enforcement is endangered and any injuries or deaths for law enforcement or civilians are blood on his hands. He must be held accountable.

Let’s hold the real “thief in chief”, Cheetolini, accountable? As Peace says, “He is the cause of all this unrest and hate. He promotes it. “

Trump isn’t the cause of all this civil unrest and hate and I’m pretty sure Reginald Denny would agree. Every time a black man dies in police custody, this kind of rioting and looting happens. Different times but the thugs are the same.
