Leftist Insurrectionists Riot

I guess we know from whence the real threat comes. Of course, we knew this for most of last year.

Left wing radicals  went on the rampage in a number of cities just hours after President Biden’s inauguration — smashing up buildings, clashing with cops and burning American flags, according to police and reports.

 

As  cities across the US were on high-alert for Trump-supporting right-wing militias, they were instead attacked by members of Antifa, who were assailing the Democratic president for not being left enough for their liking

 

Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington — the main flashpoint cities for riots last year — saw hundreds of militants trashing buildings, many expressing outright fury at Biden’s call for unity.

 

“WE DON’T WANT BIDEN — WE WANT REVENGE!” read a huge banner carried at the front of a rally in Portland, along with a threatening image of an assault rifle as well as Antifa’s logo.

    Doesn’t seem like just an “Idea” or “Movement” any more, is that correct Wray and Biden? Too bad no one will prosecute them as hard as some bad apples that took actions on their own in DC. I’d just love for the same level of investigation and prosecution to be meted at both parties.

    If you want to throw the DC folks into prison – as they deserve – then do it. But do it also for the fuckers yesterday.

    Owen,

    That is not a logo for Antifa. That is a symbol for anarchism. What you are seeing is propaganda by the deed.

    It would seem that things are only going to get worse.

    I have no doubt that the security state, now powered by big tech, will go after anyone who dissents and that Biden will expand its power.

    From the article Maxwell…

    >In Seattle, at least 100 people took to the streets, chanting their allegiance to Antifa and smashing several businesses

    Better head out there to tell them they’re wrong.

    I’d just love for the same level of police response to both parties.

    On one had you have tear gas, rubber bullets and police engaging protestors.

    On the other hand you have barriers opened to allow storming of the capitol, cops welcoming them in, taking selfies with them, saying they support them, and helping them down the steps,

    Yes, if these people are destroying property or vandalizing then they should most certainly be arrested and prosecuted. It sounds like some were.

    But, to equate this vandalism with what happened at the capitol is apples & oranges. At the capitol they tried to subvert our election. People were equipped to take hostages. Vile.

    I don’t condone either one, but it is VERY EASY to see which one was much worse.

    So dishonest. I’ve seen far more pepper spray being unleashed at the DC disturbance than any BLM riot.

    Go equivocate somewhere else little one.

    Stated completely without evidence, Little Randy.

    Usual liberal suspect silent about leftist insurrections and their anti-police attacks!

    Awful moral cowardice. Just awful!

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I didn’t say that Senile dad29.

    We love them all Kevin, they are very special.

    It’s a beautiful evening in America Jason. Insurrectionists in DC, Portland and elsewhere are being arrested and charged. Their identities are being broadcast far and wide so we know who they are. They are facing implications beyond the arrests (losing jobs, being taken off planes and such) so they are being held accountable for their actions even beyond the legal system.

    How many Antifa and BLM terrorists have lost their jobs, Randall?
    My guess, few, if any, as most don’t have jobs.

  14. jonnyv

    Dad, yes… equipped to take hostages. Not sure why else you would bring along giant zip ties.

  15. Jason

    When has anyone thought that a “Gravy Seal” is also a “Hostage Taker” or thinking they are capable of “Insurrection” by disrupting a procedural vote? Which is it JV, they’re fat and lazy or mastermind seditionists? You’re all over the place, like usual.

    “I don’t condone either one, but it is VERY EASY to see which one was much worse.”
    My guess is that those who were murdered in the riots throughout the country might a strong opinion on this.

  17. dad29

    Not sure why else you would bring along giant zip ties.

    Keep up with the news. Feds forced to admit that the zip ties were stolen from the CapCops. So no, ‘they’ did NOT ‘bring’ zip-ties.

    Any other fact-free insights you have?

    Nah. He’s only at PMSNBC and CNN. No real facts need intrude.

    PMS?
    Programmed media stupidity?
    Programming mass stupidity?
    Poisoning minds (of) simpletons?
