If there ever was a civil war, I know who I’d put my money on lol

 

 

Seriously.  Its kinda embarrassing to think some people were actually pleading for the National Guard to come in and put these lawless people down.

@Jauronimo  I suppose you will retract your statement?

 

Considering we now have an official statement from the United States Park Police

  Quote

On Monday, June 1, the USPP worked with the United States Secret Service to have temporary fencing installed inside Lafayette Park.  At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids. The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.

To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area. As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.

Throughout the demonstrations, the USPP has not made any arrests. The USPP will always support peaceful assembly but cannot tolerate violence to citizens or officers or damage to our nation’s resources that we are entrusted to protect.

 

 

Even if they had used Tear gas, I still wouldn't had been outraged about it considering the circumstances.  We are in times of the most lawlessness that we have seen in our life times and the situation is still not under control.

 

 

 

No, no.

 

Didn't you see the meme ?

 

They Gassed, peaceful protestors so that Trump could "thump" his upside down bible.

 

It was right there for all to see............

I had to catch up on the past few pages,

 

I see we have moved seamlessly from"Trump hiding in his bunker doing nothing"

 

to "why is that fascist using force?"

 

 

?

I can tell you now, DCRA isn't reviewing or issuing those permits in the current climate. That said, the police can still get a heads up and accomplish the same thing - and I believe that happened for a lot of the protest activities in DC and the surrounding areas (there was a sizeable march in Arlington, VA Sunday which was supported by Arlington PD). Based on the interview, it seems the police were not prepared or notified about the President's shtick and they were relatively disgruntled about it. Doesn't excuse any excessive behavior, but it's more understandable. There's also a lot of misinformation and sensationalizing going on from all sides, which just makes everything worse because people cling to the caricature of the enemy rather than the facts.

 

How are things in Houston?

Houston has been mostly peaceful.  There was some broken glass in downtown and idiots looted a Verizon store (enjoy your paperweights, morons!) but mostly events have been peaceful to date. 

 

George Floyd is from Houston and I believe still has a lot of family here.  I'm just on the other side of 59 from the 3rd Ward where he grew up and close to downtown so fingers crossed everything stays quiet.  The family had a March today in downtown which has gone off without incident.  There will be local funeral services for him Thursday in addition to services held in North Carolina and Minnesota.

Crotchety guys who live in the bay area, used to cook, hate cyclists because they can't wear spandex anymore, don't watch football but spend endless hours on a Buffalo Bills board.  

 

Or the same people Magox is referring to in his civil war fantasy.

Another "Clarification"

 

REPORT: TRUCKER ATTACKED BY MOB ON I-35 WAS DELIVERING FUEL TO BLACK-OWNED MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS. “A black business owner named Lonnie [McQuirten] tweeted out the following on Sunday afternoon, which shed light on what really happened:”

 

tanker_truck_minneapolis_06-02-2020.jpg

 

 

More from James Lileks:

The tweets said the driver BARRELED INTO THE CROWD. We find the video. There was no barreling. Looks to me like he stopped without hitting anyone. He was removed from the cab, and social justice was administered. After all, the people standing on the freeway had the reasonable expectation that they would not be run over, since the authorities – you know, the murderous totalitarian state under which they groan – had blocked off the roads and was present to ensure their safety while they expressed their opinions.

 

Later, a tweet:

* * * * * * * *

Hello, who’s this guy? Some Russian Bot? The underscore makes you suspicious:

Nope, DFL House Majority Leader.

Later deleted, but hey, has to be true in the meta sense.

Click over to Lileks’ Bleat to see the tweet in question, which takes on a whole new light, after McQuirten’s comments.

 It is a risk but it has extended the careers of many NFL players. They could be up and protesting in no time.

Who live in the Bay Area?  Again, who are you talking about?  And I bet this person you're talking about spends zero time talking football on the message board if he doesn't watch it. Sounds like you don't know much about this person.

I told my family it's high time I bought a gun.  They finally agreed with me.

I moved my Smith & Wesson to under my bed. Shotgun from the attic to the closet. Both very much ready

To be fair, the AP assures me that none of that looting ever actually happened.

 

And based on today’s NYT and CNN.com homepages, none of the other events captured in the above videos happened, either.
