The summer of 2020 was one of riots across America. The violence and mass destruction, which included entire blocks of cities burned and leveled, is estimated to have caused $2 billion in damages.
The catastrophes were minimized by media outlets, including one that described a burning city center, with flames leaping into the sky, as a “mostly peaceful” protest, all in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
Officers were injured, and a few were killed.
Now those rioters are cashing in, collecting at least $68 million from the cities they attacked, according to a new analysis.
The Post-Millennial explained that cities that sustained damages in the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots have been sued, over and over, for arresting suspects.
“In September of 2020, it was revealed that over $2 billion in property damage claims arising from the riots were made over that summer, marking the costliest riots in U.S. history. The Foundation for Economic Education suggested that this total was likely higher, as the $2 billion figure looked only at insured businesses, and 75 percent of businesses are under insured. Around 40 percent of small businesses have no insurance,” the analysis explained.
Now the settlements are being reported.
Just recently, Denver agree to hand out $4.7 million to some 200 at Black Lives Matter rioters. They were arrested by police, and claimed their First Amendment rights were violated.
Just weeks ago, a man hit by foam bullets in Los Angeles was given $3.75 million. Another man was given about $1.1 million for the same reason.
The cost, so far, of settling such cases in New York City already has reached $13 million for one dispute involving 1,300 people. Another case awarded $45,500 to each of at least 200 people.
The city also has settled 600 separate cases, costing around $12 million.
The analysis cited the $250,000 settlement in Portland, Philadelphia’s decision to pay out $9.25 million, and more.
The analysis documented that cases already made final total more than $68 million in payments to those who participated in the race riots.
“Some cities have settled with businesses over these riots, including Seattle, which paid out $3.65 million in a lawsuit brought forth by businesses that were disrupted in connection to the violent Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, which closed down an eight-block section of the city,” the analysis noted.
And in Minneapolis, businesses took on an estimated $500 million in damages.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue â illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” â of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, âWe’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ â IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
