If you are justifying any of the violence or rioting around our country right now, then you are part of the problem. Everywhere I turn there are photos and videos of brutality, fires, and evil sweeping the nation. I can't open a single social media app without seeing it. It's truly heartbreaking.
While this is all being done in the name of George Floyd, this has gone far beyond honoring his life. This is no longer about him.
The Daily Wire reports that, on Saturday, Richmond, Virginia Police Chief Will Smith revealed that thuggish rioters set a multi-family home ablaze with a child still inside. Then, when firefighters attempted to access the scene, they blocked them from doing so.
Thankfully the brave first responders were able to get around them and save the child.
“One incident that is particularly poignant, that truly illustrates the seriousness of the issues we’re facing,” Smith told reporters. “Protesters intentionally set a fire to an occupied building on [West] Broad Street. This is not the only occupied building that has been set fire to in the last two days.”
“They prohibited us from getting on scene. We had to force our way to make a clear path for the fire department," he continued. “Protesters intercepted that fire apparatus several blocks away with vehicles and blocked that fire department’s access to the structure fire. Inside that home was a child.”
“Officers were able to –,” Smith started with emotion, “help those people out of the house. We were able to get the fire department there safely."
“When you take a legitimate issue and hijack it for unknown reasons, that is unacceptable to me,” Smith firmly concluded, “it’s unacceptable to the Richmond Police Department, unacceptable to the city of Richmond.”
