How many of the rioting ‘protesters’ come from super-rich families?

BY Herschel Smith

American Thinker.

Clara Kraebber, 20 years old, the school-smart, life-dumb, over-educated, under-knowledgeable daughter of wealthy, highly accomplished parents, recently profiled on this blog for her protest demonstration temper tantrum for over six years, is currently confined in her family’s second mansion — complete with four fireplaces to complement the ecologically correct heating system — in an upscale Connecticut suburb, awaiting the next step for damages caused in a riot in which she participated.

Elsewhere, some of her peers are also suffering similar fates.

Elliot Rucka, 20, nabbed in the same riot (I repeat, not “peaceful protest”!) as Kraebber “that caused at least $100,000 in damages, authorities said,” is also the offspring of prominent parents …

Meanwhile, shed some tears — perhaps of laughter — as Natalie Van Norman, from the comfortable California beach suburb of Redondo Beach, sobbingly wants to know “Where the f— are my rights?” as she is arrested up north in Portland.  Not so amazingly, she showed no concern for the rights of the average Portland citizens whose lives and businesses have been upended in the 100 days — count them; they did — of violence as she dashed from the taxpayer-funded ambulance where police placed her to be treated, at taxpayer expense, for injuries sustained while she resisted arrest.

Loewy Malkovich, a software engineer in Portland and son of noted actor John Malkovich, joined other rioters as they violently protested against the middle-class police trying to protect their union building and other middle-class businesses.

Andy Ngo notes yet another.

I said in an earlier post that “This is just a bunch of bourgeois, trust fund white kids being supported by their parents.”

I was partially right.  It’s a combination of those and the very poor.  The very rich and the very poor have aligned to take down the middle class.

That’s you and me.  They want to destroy the middle class.  All communists do.

    Sam Francis used to say that the managerial state in America is an overclass allied to an underclass.

    Govt policies are also targeting the middle class. Wall Street and the banksters get trillions from the Fed but not so much for us or small bidness. Lockdowns have totally destroyed small businesses, especially restaurants.

    Bring back rites of passage for young men, hard ones, life challenging ones. And make your women sit down and shut up. It’s not hard, it’s just unpleasant and time consuming. Money does not raise a child or give it the tools it needs to set a foundation upon a life well lived serving Holy God. Time and energy spent in discipline and consequences, both verbal and practical training is the answer.

    But what do I know, I’m just a dumb hick redneck bible believer. It’s going to be a shame to have kill some of these if they don’t knock off their retarded behavior. I’m certain that if their natural proclivities had been properly fostered and developed by loving adults (love does not mean to give wealth and let run wild), they would be grateful to put those talents to use. The world sure could use those talents about now.

    Given the whole world on a literal silver platter and zero ability to function within it. Their family shrink can’t help them because that attempts to build foundation upon the sand of feelings, not truth and consequences.

    “Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.”

    People who have all the money and stuff anybody could ever want are a most miserable lot, and not just outwardly. They are a walking dead man, a soul dead to God. Some people envy the wealthy but look deeply into their soul. There is nothing to care for at all. So in that sense, when threatened, it will be less of a shame to do what they demand, that they finally be disciplined.

    I’d say a lot. And a lot more from middle income families. I was joking with a buddy the other day that all the ANTIFABLM freaky white kids look like the losers we throw out of the gym.
    These kids aren’t sticking around when people around them are getting shot up. And odds are some of them are going to be killed. Bad parenting sucks.

    The ones who get caught are the rank amateurs and misguided, adolescent-brained thrill seekers. The real problems are the organizers, instigators, rent-a-rioters and professional bad people who are “smart enough” not to get caught.

    Sorry, nothing new here readers. During the Vietnam War (1965-73) many of the demonstrators came from upper middle class & wealthy families. Also, there were celebrities, politicians, clerics, etc. who all took part in the festivities during that era. Absent were members of the working class who as many of you know, are the ones who have to keep the country going. Also, they were the ones fighting the war along with the poverty stricken who saw the military as their only escape from that dismal life. Ironically, very few, if any, of the privileged never had to worry about being drafted, much less fighting in the war.

    By the way. Remember Trump’s Inauguration Day fiasco back on 1/20/17? Well, somebody published the names & addresses of all those who were arrested. Most were between 18-30 & obviously gave their parents’ residents. Some of the best locales in the country with the beautiful homes & nice manicured lawns. As they say, same shit, different era. Must be nice to have money, privilege & plenty of time on your hands. Not to mention getting away with assault, vandalism & even murder!

    Amen. I don’t ever hear this talked about (or written), in any circles. But it’s very important piece of the puzzle for a healthy society. One of many, of course.
