"Riots following George Floyd’s death may cost insurance companies up to $2BOriginally posted by Proteus_MST View Post

Riots sparked by the police killing of George Floyd could cost insurance companies $1 billion to $2 billion — possibly making them the most expensive in US history, an industry group says.
The potentially record-setting insured losses piled up as the demonstrations sometimes descended into looting, arson and vandalism in more than 20 states across the country from May 26 to June 8, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
“It’s not just happening in one city or state — it’s all over the country,” Loretta L. Worters, a spokeswoman for the group, told Axios, which first reported on the estimates Wednesday. “And this is still happening, so the losses could be significantly more.”
The cost of the damage could surpass that of the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the acquittal of the cops who beat Rodney King. That violence led to $775 million in insured losses at the time, or more than $1.4 billion in today’s dollars, according to the institute known as Triple-I."I drank beer. I like beer.

So you want to deflect.
Well, I don't defend violent riots.
Protesting is OK as long as they remain peaceful.
(this even is true for right wing protests)
The storming of the capitol definitely was no peaceful protest
(in contrast btw. to the BLM protest that Trump ordered to be forcefully dispersed with tear gas and rubber bullets, just because Donnie wanted a photo op.
Interesting btw. that all those national guard soldiers that Donnie ordered to be present in Washington during peaceful BLM ptotests, were totally absent during the right wing riots (until finally Pence circumvented Donnie and ordered them to the Capitol himself))Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Btw. remember when Trump, only 6 months ago, demanded that people who damage public buildings should serve a prison term of 10 years minimum?

I hope you agree that this also should apply to the right wing rioters that vandalized the WH and the offices therein (and/or stole property of the servants of the state that were working there)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Some of those Trump Thugs have already been arrested. So pardoning or 10 yrs? Decisions, decisions, and so little time for Donnie...

These events are not equatable in scale to looting, arson and vandalism. Violence against a person, and threats of death are worse. Both should be condemned for their criminal actions, but one is far more troubling as one is a group that have been given comfort and support, if not outright agitation, by a sitting President.

Let's see if Donnie will personally lead the mob when they make another attempt on Jan 17 or 20. Always have to do everything yourself when you want to get stuff done

A top Georgia election official says Rudy Giuliani intentionally 'lied' about election fraud by presenting a deceptively edited video as evidence
A top Georgia election official said Rudy Giuliani "lied" over election fraud claims by presenting a deceptively edited video as evidence, despite having access to the full footage.
Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating officer for Georgia's secretary of state, made the comments in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday, during which he described President Donald Trump's claims of voter fraud as "fantastical, unreasonable," and "lacking in any factual reality."
Sterling, a Republican and Trump voter, told interviewer Scott Pelley that Giuliani presented a selectively edited video to Georgia state senators as evidence. In a clip shown on "60 Minutes" of Giulani presenting the video, he calls it a "powerful smoking gun."
Giuliani's video, which also aired in national Trump campaign ads, claims to show cases of ballots removed from under a table and "added in secret."
However, Sterling said the full video shows a different story.
He said when election officials were told they were done counting for the day, uncounted ballots were placed in secure, tamper-proof cases and stored under the table. Shortly after, the officials were told they needed to continue counting through the night.
At that point, the secure cases of uncounted ballots were retrieved from under the table to proceed the counting.
Sterling said the president's team always had access to the complete video, but Giuliani only presented the state senators with the part that shows cases being pulled out from under the table.
"Rudy Giuliani looked them in the eye and lied," he said.
"From my point of view, they intentionally misled the state senators, the people of Georgia, and the people of the United States about this, to cause this conspiracy theory to keep going and keep the disinformation going, which has caused this environment that we're seeing today," Sterling said.
Giulani did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
Trump and his allies have repeated unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter and election fraud since the president lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden. However, none of the claims have held up in court and the Justice Department said it found no evidence of widespread fraud.
The belief by some of the president's supporters that the election was fraudulent fueled the the deadly siege on the US Capitol last week, where many of the rioters chanted and held up signs that read "Stop the steal!"
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, also a Republican, appeared on "60 Minutes" as well, echoing Sterling's claims and saying Giuliani "knows that what he said was not true."
"But our state senate did not ask us to come in there so that we could rebut what they said," he said of the Republican legislature. "And it was actually left as the gospel truth, and it wasn't. It was fabricated."
Earlier this month, in a leaked phone call between Raffensperger and the White House, Trump repeated unsubstantiated claims about the election and urged the secretary of state to "find" him enough votes to beat Biden.
The day after the call was leaked, Sterling also debunked the president's claims, which he said made him "scream" because they were so dishonest.
Gee... Trump must have NO EVIDENCE of massive fraud if this was the best his team of crack experts gave them to use to prove voter fraud.
