In the videos showing rioting and violence, does it strike anyone else as odd that a lot of these rioters have skateboards? I mean yeah... young men/teens like to skate but if you were heading to a rally where groups of people were gathering to STAND or WALK, would you bring your skateboard??
That is exactly what's happening. And I would put my money on the democrat/politicians as being the ones facilitating all of this. Including Good ol George Soros

It took me a minute to digest what you are suggesting. Then I saw the link you posted of Dallas. So, you think someone is staging pallets of bricks for rioters to throw?
Interesting.

I'm from Queens, NY. I got a notification last night around 1 AM saying the National Guard in Fort Totten was being dispatched to Soho, shutting down the Cross Island Parkway the entire way.
I decided to brave the storm and take a trip to Soho last night... I don't have many pictures considering what I see was mostly turned over garbage cans, broken bus stops, more graffiti, broken bottles, furniture and barricades littered along the streets and avenues.
No broken windows, no fires. But I did see something striking....
I was going through my facebook page today and notice this post:
i.ibb.co...
(screen-shot)
So while I was driving through the city, I noticed a stack of pallets outside a construction site, half covered with a blue tarp, and obviously half missing.
I'm a local 1 union plumber, I've worked in construction for over a decade. I've been on 1,000's of jobs, from the Trade Center to renovating celebrities homes. I've NEVER-EEVVEERRR seen a contractor leave $1,000's of dollars in bricks outside their job site. Maybe where you're from, but in NYC that is something you just don't do...People will steal anything they can touch.
After seeing that post on facebook, and the news about "Umbrella Man", this struck me really odd.
I only have a few pictures, mostly of busted out bus stops. I didn't even consider taking a picture of the stack of bricks. I'm going back tonight, I will try to provide you with pictures when I make an update.
*Edit*
Will be going back to the city tonight to try and locate these pallets and possibly get a brick for further analysis, these pallets still had the plastic bands on them that held them together, there might be a purchasing order or ticket on the pallets. At the least, if I locate the pallets, we can get the job-site address and an answer as to why and how these pallets were left outside and if they infact belong to the construction site innocently.

This happened elsewhere too a few days ago.
