Read this and tell me what the state of liberals is in America.

 

 

My personal account of the violence at UPitt's Knowles-Polumbo debate

by Gabrielle M. Etzel 

 

I never thought I would be in the middle of a violent physical battle on the streets of Pittsburgh, a practical war zone breaking out in my hometown. But it happened on Tuesday night.

 

Michael Knowles and Brad Polumbo were in Pennsylvania to debate transgender rights and the role of government in those rights. The protest itself, though, was an illustration that free speech and intellectual inquiry in America are being replaced with acts of intimidation and violence.

 

As a reporter covering the event, I walked amongst the protesters for nearly an hour before the start of the debate, hearing the organizers with their microphones screaming that they were going to “get in the faces” of the attendees. I followed them to the venue and heard them chanting “Nazis go home” and “Shut it down.”

 

But as soon as I crossed the barricade to attend the event itself, I became the protesters’ enemy.

 

From that point, the scenes became increasingly frightening.

 

Obscenities were screamed at my companion and me. We were told that we “should have been wiped out in 1945” and that there would “be no Nuremberg Trial for us this time.”

 

Shortly after this, someone in the crowd threw a lit road flare into the line of attendees, which landed inches away from me. Thankfully, my companion and I, as well as the other attendees, were able to swiftly flee and escaped harm.

 

Even once we made it into the event hall and through the intense security, everyone inside the venue sat in shocked silence when an incendiary device exploded close enough to the building that the lights shook and the sound reverberated throughout the room.

 

Being told to stand clear of the windows as the chants of the protesters became louder at the end of the debate, and being rushed out of the back exit by armed police were also new experiences for me.

 

What struck me to my core, however, was being screamed at by an individual protester, “Go home, nobody wants you here, Nazi.”

 

I am not a Nazi, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, is and will always be my home.

 

But freedom of speech is not just under attack in my home. Although the protests at the Knowles-Polumbo event may have been extreme, they were just one manifestation of a growing problem.

 

In recent weeks, Campus Reform has been following the outbursts of trans rights activists at both the Cabot Phillips and Riley Gaines speeches that were held at the University of Pittsburgh, which were met with hostility from students and the broader community.

 

Gaines was also physically and verbally assaulted by activists at San Francisco State University, where she was locked in a room for three hours until the San Francisco Police Department was able to secure her exit.

 

Matt Walsh experienced similar backlash when he had to cancel his university speaking tour due to death threats because of his traditional views on biological sex.

IN A WORLD GONE MAD, THE JORDAN NEELYS RULE:

 

“Who governs when justice becomes transactional and a mob determines right from wrong, what’s legal or illegal?

 

Democratic politicians in New York are running scared instead of standing up for justice and for the citizens who have been terrorized by Neely and many other people who should either be institutionalized or in jail.”

NARRATIVES DON’T ESTABLISH THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW: 

 

The Left Continues to Rail Against ‘Book Bans’ That Aren’t Happening.

One of the silliest yet most insidious claims that we hear from the left these days when it comes to parents’ rights and the LGBTQetc movement is that parents who have concerns about the propagandistic material in school libraries are in favor of “banning books.”

 

Anyone who wants to read these books can buy them at a bookstore or hop on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or eBay to find a copy. These books are probably also available in the local public library. What all of this means is that nobody is banning these books. But to stop short of screaming about book bans doesn’t fit the left’s narrative.

Antifa Targets 'Babies Lives Matter' Rally, Police Let Them Know That Wasn't a Good Idea

 

IMG_2745.thumb.webp.c5a6df5c599d24287af6ecc49f00129e.webp

Antifa likes to pretend that they are noble and are somehow “fighting fascists.”

 

But just what “fascists” were they fighting when they targeted the “Babies Lives Matter” rally in Santa Monica on Saturday? We’ve other Antifa guys show up at events to defend things like “kid-friendly drag shows.”

 

I guess you’re not allowed to be anti-abortion or want to protect kids or the Antifa crowd will try to shut you down. Funny, that sounds kind of — fascist — when you try to shut down the opinion of others and believe that your own opinion is the only one that should be allowed.

 

But they found out that things don’t go well when you try to scuffle with the police. This News2share clip shows Antifa dressed in black bloc after they tried to get up in the face of the anti-abortion folks. The police were trying to separate the two groups and that’s when it got out of hand with Antifa pushing back against the cops. Police had their batons and used them to help move the Antifa folks back, pushing some of them to the ground.
