Where Are The Riots?

The SCOTUS opinion on Roe v Wade was leaked to anger the masses. We had threats from leftist militant groups like Jane's Revenge and Ruth Sent Us. Protestors demonstrated in front of the homes of conservative Chief Justices in obvious atrempt to intimidate. Chuck Schumer's comment that such a decision would unleash a whirlwind was followed up by a failed assassination attempt on Kavanaugh.

Wasn't Roe v Wade supposed to be the red line in the sand? They promised to unleash Hell on America, and yet...

Sure, there have been assaults and some property damage, but nothing like the mass destruction of the George Floyd riots.

Since SCOTUS delivered its decision, the militant left’s reaction seem muted to me.

Does it seem that way to anyone else? Or is it too early to say?

Well I'm not sure if you agree, but I firmly believed the BLM riots of 2020 were coordinated and paid for by PACs looking to defeat Trump.

They are not putting that kind of money into this election, because they know its a waste of money.

I'm seeing it as a Democratic fund raising opportunity. Get people all worked up, then make promises to do something about it if only you will support Democrat candidates in the next election.

I feel bad for anyone putting their faith in Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden on this. Two swamp rats who have been in Congress for decades...if they thought abortion rights were so important and so under threat why didn't they attempt to codify it when they had multiple chances over decades of time to do so?
@SumKindaMunster I think your points are valid. It should become clear with more time.

@SumKindaMunster You could be completely right. I do find one thing to be fact. Democrats don’t solve problems. They use them as fund raising and voter turnout opportunities.
