Did he say where? There seems to be Texas Children's Hospitals in Houston, Dallas, & San Antonio. I'm not seeing any news articles other than the usual medical related ones. I'm surprised that damage to a children's hospital wouldn't have been on anyone's news cycle in the past 24 hours, given the Twitter posts were from yesterday (during daylight hours, so plenty of time for something to pop up other than on a Re-Tweeted post).
Houston. The media has been willfully ignoring. They continue to portray the protests as all peaceful. They are not. There is other damage as well.
This did happen in Houston, but NOT at theTexas Children's Hospital (nor a hospital at all). It's in the downtown area of Walker and Austin Streets, NOT in the Medical Center. While the rabid criminal behavior is worth condemning (ESPECIALLY terrorizing a child), I'd caution against believing everything on social media. Disinformation campaigns are most successful when they take on a life of their own, & there's lots of actors who would love nothing more than to see our Republic fall from the inside.

Looking at Google Maps, that is correct. This was downtown at Walker and Austin St. Thanks for the info!
:iagree: as well. Thanks for the correction.

While many of the events (especially in urban areas) have resulted in damage to people and property, not all of the protests have resulted in violence. I abhor people who commit looting, rioting, and assault under the guise of a "peaceful protest". However, I fully support and encourage everyone's right to legitimately protest whatever cause they feel strongly against, as long as they do so in a peaceful manner. Looters and rioters should be arrested, forced to repair the damage done (by manual labor) and make other reparations for the damage they have done. Just my 2 cents.
And I am 100 pct in agreement there. I have posted many times want to protest and make some changes? You are good to go! Heck I may even join you. But when it comes to looting and rioting that’s my line. I have even commented several times that the majority of the knuckleheads doing the looting seem to be of the Antifa bent. One video I liked was a skater boy using his skateboard to break doors and windows. He was all down for the cause until big protestor cam up behind him and took his skateboard away. Then said something to hm. Skater boy walked away with a stupid downcast look on his face.
