FLASHBACK: Ronald Reagan Speaks on Putting Down Violent Riots

FLASHBACK: Ronald Reagan Speaks on Putting Down Violent Riots
Brodigan - August 27, 2020 at 07:32AM


It's getting increasingly hard to write about riots lately. Not because of the graphic images but because they've all started to blend together (see PEACEFUL: BLACK LIVES MATTER 'PROTESTER' POINTS A GUN AT REPORTER and BLACK LIVES MATTER ASSAULTS A WISCONSIN BUSINESS OWNER AFTER SETTING HIS BUSINESS ON FIRE). Overnight, they started rioting in Minneapolis again because someone killed himself, but the rumor was that he was shot by police. Which shows you "police" is just the convenient excuse.

Right now, intimidating and rioting in the streets is working for leftists. And it needs to stop working for them. Our leaders — yes, including President Trump — need to do something other than tweet about it. For an example of what kind of leadership we need, I give you Governor Ronald Reagan.

All of it began the first time some of you [in the media] who know better and are old enough to know better let young people think that they had the right to choose the laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest.

Ronald Reagan was a law and order president without shouting the words LAW AND ORDER. When Donald Trump addresses the American people tonight, this is what they need to hear him say. Or, IF Donald Trump addresses the American people, because the South is being hammered by one of two hurricanes. Because it's 2020.

But this country needs clear leadership and needs to send a clear message that the rioting and lawlessness are going to end the day before yesterday.
