One of the Black Lives Matter protesters now facing felony rioting and misdemeanor graffiti charges — after a window-smashing free-for-all in Manhattan — is a wealthy Upper East Sider whose mother is an architect and whose father is a child psychiatrist.
Clara Kraebber, 20, is one of eight people arrested Friday night after a roiling, three-hour rampage that police say caused at least $100,000 in damage from Foley Square up to 24th Street.
“Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!” the group chanted as it moved up Lafayette Street while busting the plate glass facades of banks, Starbucks and Duane-Reades.
The protest was organized by groups calling themselves the “New Afrikan Black Panther Party” and the “Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement.”
Given her privileged upbringing, Kraebber might seem an unlikely alleged revolutionary in those ranks.

Since the death of George Floyd back in May, the Biden campaign has stood alongside Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters. Instead of condemning their actions – particularly the looting, fires and demolishing of small businesses – Biden’s team decided to defend them, saying that they’re “peaceful protestors.” Some staffers even went so far as to donate to a fund to bail the “protestors” out of jail.
Symone Sanders, a Senior Adviser to the Biden-Harris campaign, doubled down on the “peaceful protestors” point of view during an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Sunday.
Baier asked if roughly a dozen campaign staffers regretted donating to a bail fund for “protestors,” especially after one of the offenders was rearrested for a “serious crime.” Of course, Sanders couldn’t answer the question.
“Bret, it was not and has not been our campaign position of bailing anyone out, so I’m unsure specifically what you’re speaking to,” she replied.
The host reminded Sanders that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) previously encouraged Americans to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, the bail fund for so-called protestors.

President Donald Trump and his administration have been focusing on Operation Warp Speed, a goal of delivering 300 million doses of a safe and effective vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus. The goal is to have the vaccine available to the public by January of 2021. It has been said that the vaccine could become available as early as October. Despite the rapid development, manufacturing and testing, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) refused to say whether or not she would get the vaccine.
“Do you trust that the situation we’re in now that the public health experts and scientists will, on the efficacy of the vaccine?” CNN’s Bash asked the senator on Saturday.
“It’s past its prologue that they will not. They will be muzzled. They’ll be suppressed. They’ll be sidelined because [President Donald Trump] is looking at an election coming up in less than 60 days and he’s grasping for whatever he can get to pretend he’s been a leader on this issue when he’s not,” Harris explained.
“So, let’s just say there’s a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. Would you get it?” the host asked. . .
“Well, I think that’s going to be an issue for all of us. I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump,” she said with a smile. “And it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about.”
Q: "Let's just say there is a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. Would you get it?"

President Trump took issue with reporters on Friday for treating Joe Biden like a child. Matt and Ellie wrote earlier about the softball questions that reporters teed up for the Democratic presidential nominee. There’s no excuse for the media’s childlike treatment of Joe Biden. Reporters should have their best questions saved up since the former VP has largely avoided the press all year long.
Like a child, Biden appears to be unable to call on reporters himself. The candidate that struggles to read a teleprompter relies on staff members to call on reporters using an approved list to decide which vetted reporter may ask a question. There’s no telling how much the Biden campaign vets the questions beforehand, but the campaign would be hard-pressed to come up with more self-serving questions themselves. . .
Trump, who gets nothing but hostile questions from the liberal media all day long and still calls on reporters who think they are in a presidential debate, grilled reporters at the White House on Friday for continuing to treat Biden like a child.
“Read the questions you asked,” Trump said. “Those questions were meant for a child. Smiles on faces of reporters, not like you and you” the president said, pointing to miserable reporters.
“Take a look at those questions that they ask him. They were not meant for a grown-up. They were meant for a child,” said the president.

By Townhall. On Wednesday, after a black 18-year-old was shot by a D.C. police officer and died shortly after in a nearby hospital, the name Deon Kay joined the pantheon of black “victims” killed at the hands of so-called “KKKcops.” Protesters immediately sprung into action on Wednesday, carrying over into Thursday and culminating in an angry mob gathering outside the home of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Since the facts are almost never on their side, the Left seizes upon the initial reports of a black person being shot by police, before those pesky little facts about the events leading up to the shooting can spoil the slanderous narrative.
Unfortunately for Black Lives Matter, who claimed Kay was unarmed and shot in the back, a lot is now known about the shooting of Deon Kay.
Police say officers were responding to a live stream on social media of a man brandishing a firearm. The officers recognized the young man from their previous encounters with the individual. According to the chief, Kay was a “validated” gang member.
When officers arrived and approached the car, two of the four occupants fled on foot. Bodycam footage of the incident captures Deon Kay raising a gun as he runs toward a Hispanic officer. The officer then fires a single shot at Kay, striking him in the chest.

‘This No Longer Has Anything to Do With Black Lives Matter’: Neighbors, Business Owners Tired of Portland Riots, Violence
By KGW 8. The mood was festive in a way at a Monday night protest outside the Pearl District apartment building where Mayor Ted Wheeler lives. It was the mayor’s birthday, and people were calling for him to resign. But when some people broke windows and got into the building, the mood changed.
“They broke the glass and there were glass shards everywhere here,” said Eli Shemali. . .
Shemali said he supports free speech, “but in our case, I think they really broke through the line. They actually tried to set fire inside in the deep space of the clinic, and in a high-rise building that really is uncalled for. It could have gotten out of hand and led to something really pretty serious.” . . .
On Tuesday morning, the cleanup came with frustration for people who live in the area, including a man who lives in same building as the mayor. Tom Drewes said he and many others in the building support the Black Lives Matter movement.
“I think, sadly, this no longer has anything to do with Black Lives Matter and that’s the tragedy of this. I think that message has been co-opted by people with a totally different agenda,” said Drewes.

President Donald Trump on Thursday night personally denounced a story published by The Atlantic, which cited anonymous sources that claim Trump described America’s fallen heroes as “suckers” and “losers.”
“To think that I would make statements negative to our military and our fallen heroes … it is a disgraceful situation by a magazine that’s a terrible magazine,” Donald Trump said. “I don’t read it, but I just heard about it.”
Trump spoke after he landed at Andrews Air Force Base after returning late from a campaign rally at an airport in Wisconsin.
“It’s a total lie; it’s fake news. It’s a disgrace, and frankly its a disgrace to your profession,” he said to reporters who did not expect him to speak after exiting Air Force One. Video footage of his remarks featured the president denouncing the story in the dark.
The Atlantic story cited anonymous sources who claimed that Trump did not want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery at the site of Battle of Belleau Wood during his visit to Paris in 2018 and that he was worried about his hair in the rain. The sources also claimed that Trump said the cemetery was “filled with losers” and that the Marines who died at Belleau Wood were “suckers” for being killed.

By Townhall. Attorneys for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin are requesting the dismissal of murder and manslaughter charges against him for the death of George Floyd. They’re using the police training manual as justification.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department training manual, officers are shown how to subdue violent or resisting suspects by placing their knee on the neck.
Analysts and attorneys at Court TV explain. It’s worth a full watch:
“From coast-to-coast everyone, absolutely outraged, especially by that fact, the knee on the neck. Well, guess what folks, take a look at what you’re looking at right here. That is from the police training manual,” attorney and host Vinnie Politan said. “Where this all comes from is from a motion to dismiss. A motion to dismiss that was filed by Derek Chauvin’s attorneys saying that the knee on the neck is part of his training as a Minneapolis police officer. And there we see it in the manual on the left and on the right is what we all have seen in the video of Officer Chauvin. So, is this a game-changer?”
“This one is absolutely shocking. I mean, this is what the whole story is about. This is what outraged millions and millions of people, this is what caused the protests. It was the knee on the neck…and now the defense is saying dismiss the charges because the knee on the neck is right there in the police training manual,” he continued.

Judge Declines to Consider Dismissing Charges Against Chattanooga’s George Floyd Protesters
By Chattanooga Free Times Press. A Hamilton County General Sessions judge during a scheduling hearing Tuesday declined to entertain the prospect of dismissing charges against a group of local George Floyd protesters before he’s had a chance to hear the evidence against them.
Members of the small group of protesters, led by Marie Mott and Cameron “C-Grimey” Williams, face multiple charges stemming from two separate July incidents: the burning of a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office flag and the blocking of an emergency vehicle.
On Tuesday afternoon, Judge Gary Starnes ordered the preliminary hearing to be moved to Oct. 8 so that all of the cases could be handled on one day. (Read more from “Judge Declines to Consider Dismissing Charges Against Chattanooga’s George Floyd Protesters” HERE)

President Trump taunted his Democratic opponent with a new nickname: “Joe Hiden’.”
“Can you believe what’s happening!?” Trump tweeted Wednesday, with a link to a Breitbart article. “They give Joe Hiden’ the questions, and he reads them an answer!”

In the story, the Trump campaign accuses Joe Biden of accidentally reading an instructional note from a teleprompter as he answered questions in an interview.
In an interview set to air Sunday with NBC 6 anchor Jackie Nespral, Biden discussed Latin American diplomacy, bashing Trump’s policy in Venezuela, before reading the “topline message.”
Oops! Joe Biden read the "topline message" part of the talking points his handlers gave him for a TV interview.
President Trump on Tuesday denied that he had “a series of mini-strokes” prompting an unscheduled visit to Walter Reed hospital in November 2019. . .
It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate – FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!
r. Sean Conley, Trump’s physician, said on Tuesday that the president “remains healthy” and will “remain fit to execute the duties of the Presidency.”
“I can confirm that President Trump has not experienced nor been evaluated for a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), transient ischemic attack (mini stroke), or any acute cardiovascular emergencies, as have been incorrectly reported in the media,” Conley said in a statement.
CNN reported this week that New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt in his forthcoming book claims Vice President Mike Pence was “on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized.”
The CNN story did not reference any reports about Trump having a stroke, but author Don Winslow claimed Trump had “mini-strokes” in August.
One of the benefits of making videos that garner 5 million+ views is that you hear from a lot of people, including whistleblowers inside Trump administration.
I've received three communications saying that during his term Trump has suffered a "series" of "mini-strokes."
By Fox News. A counter-protester who pulled a gun during an altercation at a Black Lives Matter protest in Tallahassee, Fla., Saturday evening “was lawfully defending himself” and will not face criminal charges, according to the police department.
The Tallahassee Police Department made the announcement Sunday after reviewing a video from the incident from several sources and other evidence with the State Attorney’s Office.
About 150 Black Lives Matter protesters gathered in front of the Florida Historic Capitol Saturday and blocked traffic by Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. The protest was organized with “no advance notice to or coordination with TPD to ensure safety,” the police department said in a statement.

“During the protest, a white male entered the crowd and began documenting the protest. That individual was pushed from behind by a white protester, which led to a physical altercation between the individual and several other white males,” Tallahassee Police said. “During the altercation, the individual was knocked to the ground. He got back to his feet and brandished a gun. TPD officers quickly engaged, took the individual into custody, and peacefully dispersed the crowd. There were no reported injuries.
“The evidence confirmed the physical altercation between numerous protestors and that the individual was knocked to the ground and under attack before lawfully defending himself,” the department said, adding that they confirmed that the individual with the gun “was lawfully carrying a concealed weapon as a license holder.” (Read more from “Man Who Brandished Gun at BLM Protest Was ‘Lawfully Defending Himself;’ No Charges Filed” HERE)

Slain Portland Man’s Friend Says He Lost Life for Conservative Views
By Fox News. The friend of a man gunned down Saturday in Portland amid a riot said his pal – whose picture was released Monday by police – was “executed” and “hunted down” for his conservative views.
Chandler Pappas told The Common Sense Converstive that he was with Aaron “Jay” Danielson — the shooting victim identified by Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson — as part the right-wing group in downtown Portland on Saturday. A massive pro-Trump caravan drove through the city as counterprotesters gathered for the 95th consecutive day to voice anger over police brutality and racial injustice. . .
“We have a First Amendment in the country,” Pappas told the news site. “And for whatever reason, there seems to be this opposition that thinks we can’t do that. They have been attacking us for years. Really for decades in the grand scheme of things but very heavily in Portland.” . . .
“It takes a second for you to process everything that happened. ‘Did he just shoot at me?'” Pappas said while standing in front of a Blue Lives Matter flag. “I’m OK. I turn over and Jay’s dead because he believed something different. Jay’s not a racist, a xenophobe or whatever. He’s not an ‘ist’ or ‘ism.'”
“They executed my parter,” he said. “They hunted him down.” (Read more from “Slain Portland Man’s Friend Says He Lost Life for Conservative Views” HERE)
