B-Man Posted August 26, 2020 Author Posted August 26, 2020 IT CAN HAPPEN HERE. IN FACT, IT IS HAPPENING HERE. The authoritarian left isn’t content just to block speech it disagrees with. It also wants to force people into making leftist utterances and gestures. Today, at various restaurants in Washington, D.C, BLM protesters demanded that diners eating outdoors raise their fists in support. Most diners did — this is Washington — but a few did not. Those who did not were berated. The mob chanted “white silence is violence” at them. The statement is stupid and obviously false. If the BLM mob wants, nonetheless, to chant it, that’s fine. But not in the faces of people who are simply trying to eat dinner. I agree with Bari Weiss, who was recently “cancelled” by the New York Times because her writings didn’t track leftist orthodoxy. She described the BLM mob’s behavior as “vile and un-American.” One of the victims of the mob said she has been protesting for weeks against the police (or whatever), but that “it did not feel right” to be coerced into raising her fist. Unfortunately, she reportedly was the only person at the restaurant where she was eating to have such quintessentially American qualms or, in any case, to act on them. The pandemic has caused those who frequent restaurants to eat outdoors, even in the horrible D.C. heat. But nothing will stand in the way of mobs coming inside restaurants to harass people when the time comes. Years ago at Dartmouth, a mob of black protesters rampaged through the library demanding aggressively that students who were preparing for final exams join them outside at a rally. The fledgling brown shirts received no meaningful punishment from the college. Colleges have become training grounds for brown shirts. Graduates have taken the authoritarian lessons learned there to the streets and sidewalks of America. The chickens have come home to roost. Tonight at the Republican Convention, Nick Sandmann, who received the equivalent of a berating from an old lefty who banged a drum in his face because he dared to wear a MAGA hat, was one of the speakers. He showed remarkable restraint when he was confronted by the ancient drum banger. The mainstream media demonized Sandmann nonetheless for “smirking,” and it lied about what had transpired. He fought back with a lawsuit and is now collecting settlement money from various media giants. Unfortunately, there is no obvious remedy for the kind of mob behavior that occurred today in D.C. Nor will law enforcement become involved. I’m told that officers stood by passively as diners were harassed. Naturally. If they aren’t going to lift a finger to prevent looting and arson, we can’t expect them to prevent harassment at restaurants. MORE AT THE LINK 2
bdutton Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 21 minutes ago, Tiberius said: You said it. I actually did not say Trump caused the riots. Just pointing out how under Trump we have racial riots in the streets. With Obama it was a beer. Maybe there is a connection. You say yourself that the riots are helping Trump. So ya, maybe something to that. BLM was formed during Obama's presidency. Unarmed Micheal Brown was shot and killed by a police officer. He was ordered by the policeman to move to the sidewalk (he was walking down the middle of the road after having assaulted a shop owner and shoplifted cigars). When he disobeyed the order the police man pulled up to him and that is when Michael Brown punched the officer in the face and reached in to take his gun. The officer and Brown struggled with the gun until it went off, reportedly striking Brown in the finger. Brown ran away and the officer chased him down. Brown turned and charged the officer. That is when the officer drew and fatally shot Brown. The DOJ and the State Prosecutor agreed it was justified. Obama issued a milktoast response. BLM the organization started over a criminal that attempted to murder a police officer who was just doing his job. Riots ensued over all of this and Obama owns that because calling out a criminal black man for making a mistake that cost him his life didn't fit the left's narrative that police are bad. 3

You are right. But the situation has deteriorated under Trump. After Trump endorsed police brutality to the roar of laughter and appaluse of police officers in a crowd the situation worsened. 1

No... the left continues to support the lie that he was murdered. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/08/harris-warren-wrong-about-brown-shooting/ Quote On Aug. 9, 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in what the Obama administration’s Department of Justice determined was an act of “self-defense.” But Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren referred to Brown’s death as a “murder.” On the fifth anniversary of Brown’s death, Harris tweeted, “Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement.” Warren tweeted: “5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times.” Why would they say that except to continue to inflame the BLM movement's violent protests which results in money donated to BLM getting funneled directly to the DNC.

Deranged Rhino Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 It was never about social justice or equality. It was always about cold, calculated politics. And they blew it. The party that lied for three years about treason, a stolen election, Russians, and "peaceful" protests just can't seem to do anything right. All they had to do to beat Trump is NOT be crazy... and they just couldn't do it. There's still time for the rational people out there to wake up and reject the continuation of the establishment political class's tactics... who will do it? 3

dpberr Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Those rioting in Kenosha are emboldened by the lack of offense by the police, mixed with naivete and an unawareness of their surroundings mixed in for deadly measure. The looters don't expect violence besides the violence they commit, which is in some ways, ironic, because when one of them gets shot or hurt, they are calling the police. The police have provided a "safe" environment for looting. A little tear gas sure, but the looters know the boundaries and where to push them in these cities with law enforcement. This is why the looters chased after an armed man, with the intention of putting a beating on him. They really didn't think he'd actually shoot them. The vacuum created by a lack of decisive leadership is being filled by looters and people who refuse to be looted. 3
