So much for peaceful protests, it seems. Nowadays, when the left has a beef with the right, it’s much more an All Hell Breaks Loose moment — much less a chance for rational discourse or verbal thrust and parry of contrasting thoughts.
It’s thuggery in the streets.
It’s violence on campus.
This is the new normal, America. Wake up and smell the Molotov cocktail smoke.
From the Daily Caller:
“In one of the most recent incidents, police in Tennessee charged a woman with felony reckless endangerment on Thursday for allegedly trying to run Republican Congressman David Kustoff off the road after a town hall. The woman, Wendi Wright, was reportedly enraged over Kustoff’s support for the American Health Care Act and screamed at the congressman and his aide, striking his car windows and reaching inside the vehicle.
“The same day that Tennessee police charged Wright for reckless endangerment, police in North Dakota escorted an enraged man from another town hall after he became physical with Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer over his support for the GOP Obamacare replacement. ‘Will the rich benefit from, if the health care is destroyed, do the rich get a tax break? Yes or no?’ the man shouted, before shoving cash down the congressman’s collar. ‘There you go, take it.’ …
“The day before that, a Huffington Post article that showed ‘how to really turn up the heat on elected officials’ went viral. The author, Michaelangelo Signorile, called on protesters to harass Republicans at dinner, when they’re out shopping and even at home. Societal norms for the basic levels of decency one should afford political opponents, Signorile argued, no longer apply to liberals.
“‘It’s time to move beyond polite protests within specified boundaries. It’s time to escalate the expression of our outrage and our anger in a massive way,’ he wrote. …
“Political violence has been increasingly common as left-wing organizations have whipped up mobs against Republicans and supporters of the president.
“A popular parade in Portland, Oregon last month was cancelled after threats of violence against one of the groups participating — a local Republican organization.“An email warning parade organizers promised 200 or more protesters would rush into the parade and drag the Republican marchers out, if that’s what it took to keep them from participating. “You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely,” the email warned. Portland has been a site for organized left-wing protests, which have often turned into violent riots. …
“Pro-Trump speaker Milo Yiannopoulos had his speech at the University of California-Berkeley cancelled after rioters set the campus ablaze in order to keep him from speaking. …
“Political commentator Ann Coulter, who staunchly supported Trump during his presidential campaign, had her speech at UC Berkeley cancelled after the protest groups vowed a repeat performance of the Milo riots.
“A North Carolina GOP office was even firebombed a month before the election, and a building adjacent to it was spray painted with graffiti: ‘Nazi Republicans get out of town or else.'”
That’s just a drop in the bucket.
And in New York City?
There’s a welcome mat to Linda Sarsour, one of the most vicious voices in favor of sharia law — and backlash against her opponents.
Once again, welcome to the new normal in America — where polite disagreement and courteous political debate has given way to violent uprising, embrace of the anti-freedom element and the vilification of those who still stand tall for constitutional, free-market principles.

Unfortunately the abhorrent conduct of these protesters speaks volumes. It has become either accept their way of thinking “or take the highway.” That is not the America that I grew up in. This type of conduct is mimicking the conduct of the Nazi’s and the Fascists of the 20th century. Our judicial system must reject it totally. if their are people who are actively promoting the conduct exhibited, they need to be prosecuted. Free speech has never approved of conduct, claimed to be protest, that in fact constitutes actively shutting down the voices of others that have a different opinion. One can never use free speech to promote physical violence against another, nor can one promote physical violence while protesting when the effect is to cause physical concern to others of different opinions. Our society has morphed into a society where those who have different opinions are claiming the right to forcibly terminate the ability of others of different opinion. I am totally sick of what has become of this country, and I hope that if there are people who promote and pay for the violence related to the so-called protest movement that shuts down other opinions are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
AG Jeff Sessons is a good start.
He is charging the hoodlums with felony rioting.
That is about 5 to 10 in jail and up to a $250,000 fine.
Soros is only paying $1500 a month
No more of this BS of “room to destroy”.
BLM has quieted down and it seems like Antifada is trying to show restraint.
I can’t believe it either. I do know that Soros is promoting and paying these creeps to riot and assault anyone who dares to express a different opinion. They have a nerve calling conservatives the fascists. Do these morons even know what the word means? Doubt it!
Liberal Logic:
1. Denounce imaginary “facism”
2. Engage in fascism
It’s like they don’t even know the definition of the word “hypocrisy.”
Progressives have been allowed to keep the sole copy of Webster’s . They know , and don’t know that we know .
Excellent, Mahou….I certainly appreciate that poster, or whatever it is.
Well stated, it is!
There is lots of good stuff on the internet to save and recycle.
My recommendation for combating liberal, left wing and black violence? Get training in the Israeli ‘Krav Maga’ and other unarmed combat courses like ’15 Brutal Fight Enders’, ‘Black Ops’ – females in particular. When attacked don’t just fight off, do serious damage that might cause an attacker time in hospital. Learn to break things and cause eyesight problems.
Bear spray works wonders. It comes with an explicit warning against using it on another human being, but when attacked, it is open season on perps.
Good idea, LOL.
Conservatives have more class than liberals! They don’t need to become violent to prove a point. Liberals on the other hand act like ignorant thugs beating people up and destroying property because they don’t have the intelligence to debate the issues calmly. Pretty pathetic if you ask me!
True, the big problem is coming, in that as liberals try to suppress other opinions while enforcing their bigotry, they are resorting to violence as they cannot convince anyone with a functioning brain cell the liberal socialism is of any value, especially its manipulation of every aspect of life, not unlike islam, which cannot exist without criminally insane violence.
Janet, unfortunately for your view if you don’t fight back you will be injured, so rather prepare yourself and hand out punishment rather than enduring it. I know and know of decent people who have prepared themselves against assault and you might wish to consider it for your own good and safety.
This report is hiding the facts the ANTIFA are the ones who came there to fight. Thats is their stated goal, and I’d bet 100 bucks the Daily Caller often takes the Commie side.
I know I will never buy anything advertised on their sites and I certainly won’t Donate, UNTIL they practice a more truthful reporting style.
DO NOT SHOOT EVEN IN SELF DEFENSE !
Because IF YOU DO, the police will make big trouble for you and your friends, expect to hire a lawyer.
You will lose your gun and may not get it back.
Organisers should forgo ‘police’ security, they have proved to be worse than useless.
Use the Sheriff and his deputies, they are there to protect all citizens, not just the Mayor’s friends.
Its that kind of mentality that gets people killed. A lot can happen in the time it takes the Sheriff to come to your aid. Are you willing to bet your life that the Sheriff will rescue you in time, while you or your loved ones are being beaten, or worse. Perhaps you should rethink that.
And just FYI, last week in Tx a concealed weapon holder shot and killed a robber: no charges filed
Was that the home invader who brought his 7-year-old son along?
No. This one was in a coffee shop
Ya gotta love Texas!
Nope . And tell the cops only that you quit shooting after they quit trying to attack you . What folks shouldn’t do is go to the riot intending to initiate violence , or (unnecessarily) provoke the bad guys .
When seconds mean life or death, police are just minutes away.
We’re living in dangerous times!
The world — including America — has shifted far to the Left. Thanks, in large part, to the public education system.
Moreover, higher education is saturated in Progressivism and our young people are being brainwashed into Stepford People.
I’m glad that I’m as old as I am — and childless.
the ‘Stepford left’ … nice 🙂
The government should focus on investigating these groups.
Actually I disagree with the policy of focusing on minor drug users, prohibition doesn’t have a good track record, the government should focus on the rabble rousers of the radical left, before it is too late.
The 60s on steroids!
Not quite. The 60’s were worse in some cases. Just ask Obama’s buddy, Bill Ayers.
The police weren’t aggressive with these leftist thugs. California is a national disgrace.
Much like the foreign wars; the politicians are getting in the way of people on the front lines of these protest as well. Liberals rarely face serious repercussions for their actions and when they do get arrested they are generally released after a cool down period. That way the politicians, in and out of the police force, can play it either way.
No tent , not even enough modesty to cover her hair . madmullahs will be issuing a fatwa any moment
Think Garland, Texas. Nuff Said.
The leftists may be the ones harassing in the streets but, the conservatives are the majority of concealed weapons holders. So ‘take that to the bank, fu**ing fascists.’
Next time , stay behind the line . If the antifa come after you , shoot the boogers full of holes .
Yup . You cannot leave the field to progressives . If their violence is allowed they will do nothing other than increase it .
Validate your 2nd Amendment Rights… Carry
Permit not needed if you are a legal American citizen. It’s in our Constitution….2nd Amendment. If you don’t have a copy of the US Constitution, get one. Hillsdale College gives them to those who request them.
These stupid fatherless want a bad spanking and they are ANGRY they never got it. Why don’t we give it to them? Chase them with a leather belt and BEAT their ass with it.
Just target their ass. I guarantee you it will be funny to see them not trying to get hit with the belt.
Agreed. After 26 years in the school business, these are the ones who have to be educated “from the bottom up”.
You conservative scum have lost the culture war and you’re too stupid to realize your way of thinking is no longer welcome in our future. The violence is unfortunate, but not significant to the march of history.
Spencer getting punched was pretty funny, though. ?
You have no future….
Why do you liberals think that conservatives are backwards in their thinking? I got news for you! We want this country to be better for all Americans! Better jobs, better and affordable healthcare, better schools and safe neighborhoods for starters! Secure borders, better benefits for our vets and freedom of speech without getting the crap beat out of you just because you disagree with the liberal morons who don’t think you have any right at all to express your opinion because it doesn’t fit their agenda! So just who are the fascists and Brownshirts? I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count! BTW, I’m prolife and Christian too! Now I’ll bet that really pisses you off hu? LOL! ???
Not particularly. I rather enjoy being angry – that’s why I’m here. You, however, are more or less just proclaiming your existence. No surprise in that. I know you regressives exist. It is interesting that you’re trying so hard to piss me off, though. ?
You enjoy being angry? Then you’re in the right party! Liberal Demorats! Maybe you can punch someone out at one of their stop free speech riots! That ought to turn you on! Be careful because someone might put a cap in your ass! Hopefully a conservative! That would make my day! Bye bye now!
Oh, I would never hit anyone. I leave that to regressive troglodytes like you. ?
Shows you what you know! I’ve never hit anyone in my life! You have to admit that the violence at these protests oops I mean riots are all liberals! The oh so tolerant liberals can’t handle anyone with a different opinion than they have. Colleges are a friggin joke! They won’t even let a conservative speak on campus! News flash not everyone is a libtard even in college. The liberal loon professors that indoctrinate not teach are also a joke! What ever happened to an exchange of ideas? Why is it unacceptable to have a different opinion? Half of the protestors didn’t even vote! WTH! It’s people like that POS Sorros paying these morons to do as much damage as possible even if people get hurt. Hell they want people to get hurt! So please spare me your BS! I’m not buying it!!! You’d never hit anyone! Lol But you said you enjoy being angry. Maybe a shrink could help! Just saying!
Did you really think I was trying to convince you of anything? What a waste of time that would be. I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to the lurkers, the unseen audience. 🙂
Hmm, SMH! One thing you can always count on 100% of the time is for a liberal to be wrong about everything. Your side lost the election so your side went straight to the pinnacle of liberalism—-the violent mob in the street. That is not a sign of strength nor a sign of that you’re the future. In fact it’s a sign that you’re losing and you’re becoming the past. You just don’t know it or realize it yet.
I’ve been in several protest matches since the 21st. I have yet to see any violence whatsoever. You’re arguing against your own paranoid hallucinations.
2018 can’t come fast enough. ?
You apparently must have your head stuck in the sand because your side of the aisle is always violent when they march.
Or you’re just being intellectually dishonest, which is par for the course when we’re talking about lefties like yourself.
We aren’t, but even if we were, it would be better than your side’s consistent lies. ?
Saying something isn’t true when it is true doesn’t change anything. You, the left, liberal, Democrat, Commie, Socialist, or whatever you want to call yourself are and will always be—-the violent mob in the street. It’s in your DNA; it’s your MO. You can’t help yourself.
The other interesting part of your MO is to always accuse the other side of doing something that you’re actually doing. Calling my side liars is LOL funny.
Last but not least, you guys are always angry, which, again takes us back to the first point.
See, this is why I call you liars. ?
Whatever. Nice chatting with you. I have to go back to work now and do something constructive. I’m sure that is something foreign to you. You probably have some riot to go attend so you can go destroy something. Hope you fail.
Like the Boston Tea Party did? ?
Do you even understand the Boston Tea Party? Knowing what I know of you—-you’d be on the side of the British. The Brits were forcing the Colonists to not only buy their tea but be taxed very heavily on it as well. Does this ring a bell to you? Fast forward 200 plus years and we have Democrats and ill suited men in robes forcing Americans to buy a product they shouldn’t be required to buy. That’s not freedom and liberty. We shouldn’t be forced to buy anything we don’t want.
My point was about destruction of property being a legitimate form of protest.
No it isn’t. Did Martin Luther King assist in getting the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed by being violent in the street or through peaceful protests? Yes, this is a rhetorical question. He accomplished it through peaceful means.
That doesn’t change the fact that a protest involving destruction of property was integral to our Revolution. It’s hard to imagine a higher precedent.
Really? The American Revolution was based on individual freedom. I have mentioned liberty and freedom several times in my responses to you. You have yet to mention any reason why it’s okay to destroy property or give any hint of what your beliefs are. You have, however, reinforced my premise of your side of the aisle—-you’re nothing but the violent mob in the street. And, you need to be defeated with extreme prejudice because of that.
You’re either totally incoherent in your thinking or deliberately obtuse. I’ll give you some credit and assume the latter.
An you’re incapable of expressing what it is you believe and why you feel the need to be part of the violent mob in the street. Why do you feel this need to be destructive? What is it you’re protesting?
Misogyny, intolerance, faith-based bigotry, environmental catastrophe, science denialism, ex-gay torture, anti-vaccination conspiracy theories, destruction of health care, destruction of social security, the death of arts financing, the corruption of secular, science-based education…. I would have thought it was obvious what I was protesting. I think getting the message across that none of those things are acceptable is worth a few broken windows. We have more to lose in this than the Tea Party protestors in Boston Harbor ever imagined it was possible to have.
Thanks for clearing that up. Your response is as clear as mud. Your response is very generic. For example, intolerance. Intolerance to what?
Faith based bigotry. Which faith are you targeting as being a bigot?
Environmental catastrophe. Well, the EPA is good creating disasters. Is there a specific one other than the one the EPA created out in Utah. Please don’t give me the manmade global warming lie.
Destruction of Healthcare. The Democrats already destroyed it with Obamacare. Apparently you weren’t around before that. Healthcare was far superior and cheaper to what the government has given us. Remember, any time the government gets involved in anything, the costs skyrocket and the service plummets.
Death of Arts financing. The taxpayer should not be financing the Arts. If they can’t make it on their own—tough!
Destruction of Social Security. It was never going to work from the very beginning. Again, any government run program is a disaster. If you’re going to trust the government to keep your money and then give it back to you when you need it—–you’re a fool! Once the government gets their hands on it, they’re going to spend it 100% of the time.
Typical conservative nonsense.
Well, given the alternative to conservatism, I’ll stick with conservatism. Liberalism with it’s reliance on big government is a failure 100% of the time. You cant’ point to one success throughout history or in present day where big government is a success. They always lead to misery for everyone.
What happens in 2018? Do you collect more welfare benefits?
2018 is when we dispose of the rethug Congress, of course. After that, it won’t matter what 45 thinks anymore. ?
Yes islamic “values” are part of the lieberal mindset these days aren’t they?
Why don’t you move to Pakistain? Or Soddy Barbaria? Or Iran? Or Iraq? Or Turkey? Or Somalia? Or Indonesia? After all, don’t they all share your lieberal values?
Why do you keep bringing Islam into it? It’s not like hating cultural conservatism is an exclusively Muslim prerogative.
This is the new phenomenon known as TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome. You have to wonder how many of the little frustrated and impatient snowflakes will seek therapy by fondling their Furbie.
Violence and intimidation is not going to work with me. The reason is because as far as I am genuinely concerned every one of these damn liberals is absolutely expendable. That is the bottom line.
When is enough going to be enough?????
