George Floyd\u2019s tragic death, and the \u201cblack lives matter\u201d protests that rose up afterward, made a couple of things clear to Project 21<\/a><\/strong> Co-Chairman Stacy Washington<\/a><\/strong>. On \u201cSpicer & Co.,\u201d on the Newsmax television network, Stacy exposed a double standard needing immediate attention so things can return to normal.<\/p>\n First of all, there must be order. Too many riots have been allowed to get out of hand. This has hurt individuals, small businesses and black communities that will likely suffer from the long-term problems these riots will leave in their wake. Stacy called for a distinction to be made in dealing with protesters:<\/p>\n The way back to normalcy is for every person who is setting buildings on fire, throwing water bottles and concrete bottles<\/a><\/strong> at cops \u2013 every one of them needs to be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. People who are peacefully protesting should be allowed to continue. That\u2019s the first step.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
