OPININ: Rich, liberal celebrities seem to have no problem with poor neighborhoods being burned and looted. They’ll even pay the bail for looters and rioters so they can get out of jail and resume their destruction.

These smug, famous liberals will use “Black Lives Matter” hashtags and tweet support online for the “protesters,” while trying to milk out as much PR for themselves as possible.

But, it’s all an act.

Because the second anyone from Black Lives Matter tries to protest in their neighborhood, all bets are off and that any protests get shut down.

From Daily Wire 

Celebrities and other wealthy residents of Beverly Hills, California, and the surrounding area may be happy to contribute millions to “freedom funds” to pay bail for rioters arrested in other major cities, but they’re moving quickly to shut down demonstrations — and the possibility of an “autonomous zone” like the one taking shape in Seattle, Washington — from coming anywhere near.

Using coronavirus as an excuse, the City of Beverly Hills issued a strict order earlier this week banning protests, demonstrations, and curtailing plans for an “autonomous zone” in one of the country’s wealthiest districts.

“To preserve the peace and tranquility of residential neighborhoods, effective tonight and until further notice, no more than 10 people shall gather in an assembly in a public right of way in a residential area between the hours of 9 p.m. – 8 a.m.,” the city’s social media accounts announced.

“An assembly is defined as any gathering or group of 10 or more people on a public street, sidewalk, or other public places if those 10 people have a common purpose or goal,” the order reads. “Any assembly that is silent, such as a candlelight vigil, and gatherings on private property are exempt from this emergency order.”

This is just more of the same “do as I say, not as I do” mentality of the smug liberal elites.
