[ April 18, 2024 ]
The left is braying for civil war. Fascists, Jew-haters and violent people. We have seen this before. The oppressors accuse the oppressed. The racists hurl racism charges at their victims. Political violence became an essential and successful means of leftist warfare in the 60’s, the decade of destruction, and it is becoming increasingly common now. The success of the violent “student rebellion” in 1964 and the so-called Free Speech Movement has set the table for the left’s warmongering and treason. It was clear from the outset that the “student revolution” violently ushered in at Berkeley in the mid-sixties would come to this. The left is evil, and they mean to destroy our way of life, our freedom and us. It took decades to norm their anti-Americanism, their hatred of freedom and individual rights, but they have reached their tipping point. And the long beaten and battered among us have had it.
“‘I Love Peace,’ Says Boyle Heights Cafe Owner Of Protest Over Support Of Trump Immigration Policies,” CBS Los Angeles, July 18, 2018:
BOYLE HEIGHTS (CBSLA) — Residents of a rapidly gentrifying enclave of Los Angeles tried to shut down the grand opening of a new coffee shop, saying the owner’s support of President Donald Trump’s stance on immigrants is reason alone to want him out of the neighborhood.
Story continues below advertisementOn Thursday, protesters held signs and screamed at patrons in front of Asher Caffe & Lounge located at 945 S. Boyle Ave. in Boyle Heights, a traditionally Jewish neighborhood that is now predominately Latino. They say they oppose the cafe and the owner over his support of Trump’s immigration policies.
“So what’s the connection? This is what I don’t understand. I’m confused — the connection between Donald Trump and good coffee,” Israeli-born businessman Asher Shalom told CBS2 News.
The kosher cafe was set to have a grand opening on July 12, the day anti-gentrification activists were met by Los Angeles Police officers blocking the entrance.
According to Eater LA, about 30 protesters associated with the group Defend Boyle Heights (DBH) showed up to speak up against Shalom, who they called “an anti-immigrant trump loving gentryfier” in a Facebook post.
“They really intensely protested and accosted all the visitors that came to our grand opening event,” said son David.
“It was very scary,” said Shalom’s daughter Yael. “There was a lot of people protesting outside wearing masks […] and they threw a significant amount of feces at our windows.”
DBH was accused of using similarly aggressive tactics against another coffeeshop in the area last year and against an art gallery nearby that eventually shuttered.
DBH showed a screenshot of a retweet of one of Trump’s messages about his proposed Muslim ban by Asher Fabrics Concept, one of Shalom’s other companies.
Shalom told CBS2 he came to the United States 30 years ago and is now a U.S. citizen. Shalom showed CBS2 two proclamations honoring him from L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar and County Supervisor Hilda Solis, both who represent Boyle Heights.
Shalom said his businesses employ dozens of people, including immigrants.
The Boyle Heights Chamber of Commerce, which had invited Shalom to join and was slated to attend the grand opening, terminated his membership days before the confrontation. In a letter from chamber president Jennifer Lahoda, she mentions a photo shared by Shalom on his Facebook page reading, “I wish Democrats would fight as hard for Americans, as they do for illegals.”
Lahoda said the views expressed “are not in line with the values and objectives of the Boyle Heights Chamber of Commerce.”
“Boyle Heights thrives because of our diverse immigrant population — The Chamber will always celebrate and support this fact. We will not support anyone who chooses to conduct themselves in a hateful manner, especially toward members of our community.”
Shalom denies he is anti-immigrant or hateful, telling CBS2, “My name is ‘Shalom,’ and I love peace.”…

Business owners and individuals should start carrying around packets of that blue powder they use if banks are robbed…when it explodes on them they can’t wash it off for a long time…..start throwing the powder on the rioters and Anti-fa….wouldn’t take long to find and identify them….especially now that our country is covered in cameras everywhere…..

The Antifa counter protest at Maxine Waters
Offices was cancelled, because the pro Trump group played them…so they burned a flag they stole from a pickup truck after assaulting the driver.
And then went across town to throw poop and rocks at jews, claiming Israel has death camps for palestinians, just like trump has built death camps on the border.

Thursday in Los Angeles, a Second Amendment group of retired and former Law Enforcement officers called Oath Keepers posted a plan to rally at the ghetto office of Crazy Maxine Waters (she lives in exclusive Hancock Park, many miles away from her district).
Before Oath Keepers could get there, a few hundred South Central Africans formed a mob, carrying baseball bats, beating war drums and chanting rap malevolence, just as Crazy Maxine Waters had incited and implored them to do about a week prior.
When one pick-up truck with two or three Oath Keepers approached to reconnoiter the situation, the mob snatched the American flag it was flying and tore into it like raw bush meat, stomping it in the street and burning it like a ritual tribal sacrifice.
I heard the accurate account of this uprising on a local EIB affiliate, 1150-AM, The Patriot. But later, on KCAL/KCBS TV, the whole recounting of events seemed to be re-written for propaganda purposes, with the Oath Keepers obliquely alluded to as provocateurs, and the burning of the American Flag — not to mention the theft of it — never explicated by the reporter, Dave Lopez, at all.
Indeed, the burning American Flag, in a heap on the asphalt, mixed up with ghetto kindling including green branches and green leaves torn from a living tree and various ghetto trash and found litter, was VIDEO-ONLY against an ambiguous propaganda narrative amounting to “Tisk, Tisk, Tisk, Right Wing Groups.”

If this was all about groups standing up to protest others who were promoting active violence against another group, as what should have been expected from the German people when they became acutely aware of the intention of the Nazi’s to commit violence against all of those who they considered inferior to their Arian beliefs, I might understand the reaction of those opposing and protesting, but it is clear that the opinions opposed were non-violent and represented the non-violent beliefs of many American citizens. This is classic conduct we see associated with those who refuse to hear other thoughts or comments as they shout them down and act belligerently towards them. This is not the America that I know. Yesterday, I saw what Whoppie Goldberg did to an invited guest on her show “The View.” According to the reports, which I believe are accurate, she not only shouted down this invited guest, but she used profanity towards the guest in a manner that was obviously intended to create fear of violence when the guest was leaving the studio. That is what this nation is facing today from those people who are allowing their insanity to run amok. The divisiveness that has become so common place is scary and represents everything that is un-American. Unfortunately, the media promotes this conduct by always finding fault with the conduct of the right and never broadcasting the accomplishments of the right/conservatives, and I fault them accordingly. Understanding what is happening within our country must result in our getting out to vote, so that only reasonable and right thinking people, people who understand what free speech and the right to protest are really all about, are elected to political office. It is now more important then ever to stop these fools before they wreck this great country.

The word intended above “Arian” was misspelled. The proper word was “Aryan,” which is a claim of racial superiority.

REQUIRE no facial concealing.
Is it true that the KKK weren’t allowed to cover their faces through some law.
If true, time to apply that law and get rid of MUSLIMS covering their faces too!

This mask stuff is out of control. It needs to be stopped. Protesters have been getting violent and identification is important.
What this DBH group did is illegal. It is one thing to protest, and protests should be registered so police etc. are aware of location and so forth, but it is another thing to harass and accost.
Everyone should have the right to his own opinion. If the owner of this cafe wishes to support the President and the laws as they stand, it should be his own business.
Imho, feces are a potentially infective substance. They can spread disease. What if feces fragments, feces dust, or particles hit someone’s mucosa? Best find out from medical personnel if that may be very harmful.
The protesters who did that were acting violently, should be arrested, should be forced to go and clean up everything they did.
How would they like it if someone went to their homes or businesses, and did the same, just because they disagreed with their views?
These are fear tactics and they are not solitary incidents.

A typical leftist progressive reaction against those of a differing politics or faith, especially Jews. A repellent gaggle of hateful, mindless, and unconscionable leftist drones whose sole intent is beyond hostile, they are utterly contemptible. The MSM, the Democrats and others of this malignant movement blame Trump; however, it was the little tyrant, despot that couldn’t, Obama who sponsored and encouraged incivility, immorality against those diverse of his, their Leftist diktat of enmity. Nothing is mind-boggling in this age of schisms, a dark age conceived by Obama, the Democrats and the alliance with Islam. The former and latter are one of the same.

American haters. Want to see this country destroyed by illegal TURD world immigrants. Somebody should have yelled that at them. We never advertised for them. So beat it.
I’m quite sure a mini-war would have been started. Just rip their mask off and they’ll run. Boy, will they run.
