Montgomery County police deployed in Chevy Chase, Bethesda after Brightwood Park DC riot moved up Wisconsin Avenue


Montgomery County police deployed in force to protect homes and businesses in Chevy Chase and Bethesda overnight, as a riot at the Metropolitan Police 4th District station in Washington, D.C. moved towards the suburbs through Georgetown on Wisconsin Avenue. Police cruisers were on every block in Friendship Heights, and several cruisers were patrolling around Bethesda Row early this morning.

Looters did attempt to break into Saks Fifth Avenue on the Maryland side of Friendship Heights, and the smashed windows were being boarded up when I went by early this morning. Saks has now been hit several times by looters this year.

The riot grew out of a protest at the police station in D.C., where the death of moped rider Karon Hylton in the Brightview Park area has been blamed by many residents on MPD officers who were pursuing him. There is no connection to Montgomery County in the controversy.

In case anyone still doesn't get it, this is merely a preview of what's coming should President Trump win re-election. Things have degenerated to the point where the police are 100% to blame for everything, the culprit 0% to blame no matter what, and store owners not even in the jurisdiction have their businesses vandalized and looted. We've reached the Orwellian singularity.

It's the reason I am a legal gun owner and have a CCW Permit to protect myself and those I care about.

"Looters did attempt to break into Saks Fifth Avenue on the Maryland side of Friendship Heights, and the smashed windows were being boarded up when I went by early this morning."

I haven't heard about any "breaking into" or "looting" of Saks Fifth Avenue this week. However several businesses in the area have been observed to be boarding up their windows as a precautionary measure ahead of next Tuesday's elections.

9:33: Looters did attempt to break into Saks Fifth Avenue last night around 10:45. Windows were smashed. I've heard three suspects may have been arrested at the scene. The windows were being boarded up in the middle of the night, which is not usually when people do voluntary, precautionary window boarding.

If you give the rioters and looters what they want (to elect Biden) that's just giving in to blackmail and it will make things worse. No one should vote with a gun held to their head. They should vote their conscience which in my case is to vote for Trump.

WTOP has a great picture of last night's riot here:

This was taken at the 4th District police station, presumably before this violent rioting mob made its way all the down to Georgetown and then all the way back up Wisconsin Ave to terrorize the Saks Fifth Ave store.

To the first commentator

So socialist Biden Harris Antifa loot stores and that is somehow President Trumps fault?
Nice Try....fascist
The rioters who want defund the police are supported by a Marxist terrorist group funded by Goldman Sachs globalist bankers using black people to riot because they want deals with China and more wars to fund
Trump stopped wars and pushed back against China
Major government contract firms.

You really are just a lemming in major corporate globalist hands

Trump better win to push back against Marxists using young people and especially black people to push a globalist agenda

Guess whose fueling all the riots?
It’s NYC major Goldman Sachs bankers who are mad that Trump has stopped all outsourcing of jobs

The college students today are just stupid. At least college students in 1960s fighting against war and the CIA
The black lives matter .org is a Marxist group aided by the fbi
Biden has direct links to China money laundering

Google “Finger Lakes “

@8:27: I'm voting for Trump. The corporations I support right now are the ones making ammo because I'm buying a lot of it. I'm suspicious of all the other ones and I will never support the ones that have gone woke.
