Ah yes, more peace coming at ya.
Oakland: Rioters ‘Peacefully Marched’ Before Attacking Police, Federal Buildings (PHOTOS)
Rioters “peacefully marched” on Saturday evening in Oakland, California, before attacking police, damaging federal buildings, and vandalizing private property, according to media reports.
The “protest” had been a show of solidarity with violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, which have targeted a federal courthouse. President Donald Trump recently sent federal law enforcement officers to defend the building after Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) refused to act to stop the violence.
In response, there were solidarity protests by Black Lives Matter activists in Los Angeles, Oakland, and elsewhere — which were likewise violent.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
Downtown Oakland was on high alert Saturday night following a protest that drew thousands of people in a show of solidarity against racial injustice and in support of protesters in Portland, Ore.
Some within the crowd of 100s of demonstrators vandalized the police station. Breaking windows, spray painting, shooting fireworks and pointing lasers at officers and helicopters. We ask for organizers to keep the protest peaceful. #WallofMoms pic.twitter.com/SGU6Y7PULg

While most of the crowd remained non-destructive, a fire was set at the Alameda County Superior Courthouse and police station windows were smashed hours after protesters had peacefully marched from Frank H. Ogawa Plaza along Broadway.
The demonstrators carried signs such as “Abolish the Police” and “End Fascist USA.”
Photographers documented the “non-destructive” event, which included fireworks launched at police; smashed windows at federal buildings; and vandalized a local bank, among other criminal acts.
Graffiti on one building read: “SELF-DEFENSE AIN’T VIOLENCE.”
The Associated Press news wire described the riot in Oakland as it has described the violence in Portland — as a protest against “racial injustice” protest.

Don’t tell me. Is Oakland a sancturay city too?
Meet Mayor “Libby” Schaaf! She defiantly told reporters she would go to jail if necessary in order to resist any raids that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) may conduct in her city.

These rioters are about as peaceful as the followers of Islam.

I’ll agree with one thing and the police should also…. “SELF-DEFENSE AIN’T VIOLENCE.” …. use deadly force in defense of yourselves, property, and our constitution.

The so-called “peaceful protesters” are simply providing cover for the communist and anarchist scum.

As long as these “peaceful protesters” are dressed in black and/or wearing black face masks; AND THEY ARE ALL MIXING AND MINGLING WITH THEIR VIOLENT CO-CONSPIRATORS ALSO DRESSED IN BLACK WITH BLACK FULL-FACE COVERINGS, THEY CAN/SHOULD AND WILL FACE THE SAME MORTAL END-OF-LIFE! There will NEVER be any ‘negotiated resolution’, solution or cure for their anarchy, violence, arson, looting and murder. They all have been programmed and brain-washed with their Marxist core beliefs from K-1 through college, and no effort to, or attempt at, re-programming their malevolent brains will ever succeed! They are totally ‘LOST GENERATIONS’ of sub-human flotsam and decaying detritus. Their riots are KILLING FIELDS for open season on domestic terrorists; and they must all (the Marxists and their wannabe sympathizers) be exterminated and piled deep in the Sonoran Desert for coyote, vulture and desert rat consumption. There is no other place in the civilized part of the world for their continued existence. AND, IMO, all politicians, bureaucrats, Marxist Democrats and MSM who encourage, endorse, enable, promote and fund this BLM MARXIST insurrection, must suffer the same fate. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! Lock and load!
