It’s one of those incidents where soft policy on minority communities baked into skin color profiles and years of Democrat radicalism caused a lot of harm. After the Cincinnati Music Festival downtown at the corner of West Fourth Street and Elm Street on July 26th, 2025, a massive fight broke out where obvious violence toward a white couple by a large gathering of people of color exploded due to a very light police presence, and it went on for way too long. This mob hurt people, and the mob under any conditions shouldn’t have been allowed to grow like that into such a menace. People from the scene have said that the fight broke out due to racial comments, but there isn’t anything that could have been said that justified the violence that was captured by hundreds of cell phones and was distributed online, beating all the mainstream news outlets in content. In the video I provide, I took one of the best clips of the violence that I saw and walk people through it for context. It was out of control, and it was a violent episode perpetuated by a large group of people who felt entitled due to their skin color, and the social acceptance of violence perpetuated by political efforts to present a degraded condition in a part of downtown Cincinnati that is supposed to be one of the best in the area. This site was just up from the sports stadiums, so it’s a part of town where the economic situation has been a priority, and here was a massive fight that showed obvious racial violence getting national news in a very embarrassing way. The incident itself was bad on many fronts, but under any conditions, no matter what was said by anybody, public displays of violence like this have no place in our society, and the Cincinnati Police Department, the Mayor, and the City Council are going to have to explain all this. Because in a lot of ways, they lit the fuse to this violence through their racial policies by feeding that monster for many years leading up to this unfortunate event.

I was very proud of the Covington Police Department, which fought against the ICE protesters trying to shut down the bridge over into Kentucky, just a short distance from where this big fight broke out. But what was missing was the police arresting people and beating them up for disturbing the peace. The City of Cincinnati made great news around the nation for showing intolerance for violence in trying to shut down an important bridge and vandalizing property by a group of socialist radicals who had no right to do so. But given the nature of any music festival that combines alcohol and late nights without much of a police presence, bad things were bound to happen, and by the way things transpired, it almost looks like the political figures involved with Cincinnati City Council wanted this kind of violence to take place. And when it did, there was an unspoken agreement between them and the mob. I can promise one thing about all involved in that violence: none of them were Republicans. Law and Order, GOP voters don’t behave like that. But Democrats who have been bred into their social positions through color revolution propaganda, where outside money pours into minority communities to create instability, the results are mobs who behave with such violence as we saw in Cincinnati during late July 2025. The only way to describe the people doing all the punching and repeated kicks to the head was the same kind of people who would support ANTIFA rallies, or protest in flash riots after a police shooting. And even though the police union won’t want to admit it, they might blame the light police coverage on budget restrictions, workforce supply, and other issues, the unspoken truth is that this music festival was going to involve a lot of people of color, and nobody wants that kind of controversy on their record, so they went light on the coverage and violence exploded anyway.
We need to have law and order for everyone, and everyone must play by the same rules. We can’t allow progressive talking points to allow one set of behavior for one group of people and to let another group of people off the hook because of the color of their skin, and the propensity for public relations nightmares to happen if someone from that demographic group gets arrested and shown all over national television for roughing up minorities. To avoid such controversy, the police would rather roll the dice and hope nothing bad happens than to have something bad happen that would attach them to international news. And when violence like what we saw here does break out, I’m sure there is relief among their police ranks that at least it wasn’t one of their members involved in that video footage. It was better to let it play out, watch the video, and arrest the people involved after everything cooled off. But the fight went on for far too long. The media didn’t want to cover the story because it was a no-win situation. And the lack of justice only makes it easier in the future for people to get away with worse, because they didn’t get punished the first time. In many ways, the lack of punishment for past wrongs led to this complete social breakdown because the participants felt entitled to conduct violence, due to the politics involved.
However, here’s the thing: when people wonder why people move to the suburbs, this is your reason. They don’t want to be around gangs of thugs who behave like this. Cincinnati has made an effort to make downtown friendly, encouraging young people to make Over-the-Rhine a cool and hip destination. But looming among the population, there is a lot of crime and a lot of bad racial violence that happens but gets underreported because nobody wants it to explode across the nightly news. If cars get broken into while visiting the economic zones, the news doesn’t report on it because they don’t want to destabilize the radical groups who live in the area. And that is the genuine fault here: the failure to realize that many of the people we are luring in for economic reasons can interact with the dinosaurs, and we expect them not to be eaten by the dangerous animals is unrealistic. And if we aren’t going to have better security than what we saw at that Cincinnati Music Festival, then we shouldn’t have events downtown. It is because of a fear of this very thing that, after a Bengals game or the Reds, people get back in their cars and go back to the suburbs. Because they don’t want to be attacked by wild animals, encouraged by Democrat politics to riot over anything and everything. And now Cincinnati has a major black eye that I find embarrassing. The police should have been there to beat the hell out of all the malcontents, no matter what their skin color was. And their failure to support law and order under all conditions paved the way for this violence to happen. Ultimately, that falls on the city’s politics. They created the environment that allowed for that violence to occur because the participants had no fear at all of law enforcement. And that is why things broke out so violently. The footage shows clearly, no matter what was said, nobody deserved to be beaten like what that couple was, especially the woman with the dress on who was cold cocked in the face and knocked out unconscious in the middle of the street. Those images will cause a lot more trouble than if the police had arrested troublemakers early and dealt with the political fallout later. But it was Democratic policies that made the whole fire ready to burn, which is why people tend to avoid going downtown for anything if they can, because there is always the potential for violence, which nobody wants to deal with.
