The Floyd/BLM riots were the most destructive riots in American history; leftists sill don’t know

The Floyd/BLM riots were the most destructive riots in American history; hardly anyone knows. By the Skeptic Research Center Team.

One of the most persistent false beliefs in American culture is that the Floyd/BLM riots were incredibly peaceful, causing little damage to life and property.

In fact, the Floyd/BLM riots were the most destructive riots in American history, leading insurance agencies to designate them as a “catastrophe event.”

 

Thomas Johansmeyer at Inver Re (an insurance company):

US civil unrest became a significant insurance industry problem in 2020, arguably for the first time. …

There were only 12 riot and civil disorder catastrophe events from 1950 through 2019. The largest was the 1992 riot in Los Angeles at nearly $800 million in insured losses (not adjusted for inflation). And even that was an outlier. The average loss to the insurance industry from riot and civil disorder catastrophes over those 70 years was only around $90 million.

In 2020, the George Floyd protests became the first civil disorder catastrophe event to exceed $1 billion in losses to the insurance industry. In fact, it has exceeded $2 billion so far and could still go higher. This “catastrophe event” was also the first to affect more than one state.

The left are lying, big time:

Sunny Hostin: “There was very limited destruction of property and violence during the BLM uprising.”

 

Reality:

 

Germa Revolta:

There were 37 murders associated with the Floyd/BLM riots. Besides David Dorn whose murderer was arrested and tried, most of the victims got no media and their murders are unresolved. If you mention it online, the left calls you a liar. The irony? A large percentage were black.
