You Can’t Loot Us, We’re Progressives!

You Can’t Loot Us, We’re Progressives! By John Hinderaker.

It shouldn’t be a news flash, but progressives are often surprised to learn that their support for left-wing causes, including criminal activity, doesn’t accord them any special status.

A case in point, from North Carolina’s Post Millenial: “Editor of progressive newspaper celebrated protestors — then they stormed and trashed her office.” The editor is named Leigh Tauss. She initially cheered on anti-police protesters:

The crowd is extremely peaceful and groups and many are wearing masks and trying to keep distance. #Raleigh #GeorgeFloydprotest pic.twitter.com/1XgZc3nuvp

But mobs gonna mob. This came a few hours later:

I went into the hallway. I heard someone l enter the office and what sounded like smashing inside. We are a small newspaper with a handful of desktops. I’m now hiding in the basement.

Odd, needing to hide from fellow progressives. Then, after her progressive newspaper’s office was destroyed by rioters:

I’m devastated. We are a progressive newspaper. Last night I was inside when the first brick was thrown #Raleigh pic.twitter.com/MJvPdscyqf
