RUFFIANS ATTACK SPEAKER- Colored Republicans Rotten Egged in the Bronx (flashback 1900)
New York Tribune ^ | October 12, 1900 | staff

Posted on 10/12/2018 3:05:39 PM PDT by NRx

A young colored Republican, while making an address at Forty-fourth street and Second avenue last night, came near being roughly handled by a number of men. There were some policemen watching those listening to the speaker at the time, and they quickly suppressed the disturbance by severely shaking two or three who were in a riotous mood. A person at the meeting said sticks, stones, garbage and eggs were thrown at the person on the cart and at people in the gathering, but the police of the Fifty-first st. station denied that any sticks or stones were hurled at anyone at the meeting. Several officers acknowledged that eggs had been thrown.

And the left continues their UNILATERAL civil war knowing fully well those of us on the right will always be the last to fight back as the government is against us.

If you are ever called for Jury duty on a case where a lefty was attacked after they harassed someone on the right make sure you practice Jury Nullification to stop the government from defending the anti-American leftist scum.

In 1900 they probably were armed, at least the English white people.

Peaceful coexistence with these people is not possible.

We need to stop pretending that it is.

“...severely shaking two or three who were in a riotous mood.”

I had to double check the source of this article. For some reason that sounded like an account from England. “Ah yes, Livingston and I did a shake-up what with some hooligans that were in a right jolly riotous mood.”

Rotten eggs - does that mean it was premeditated assault? Or do these folks just keep rotten eggs around in case they develop a riotous mood?

“Colored Republicans” is raciss and hateful.

The properly sensitive non-racist name is “Republicans of Color.”

No... PAST time for Republicans to arm themselves.
We’re getting attacked several times a day now, it seems - and I’m beginning to wonder why our wonderful government doesn’t seem to recognize what’s going on and do SOMETHING to stop it.

That’s why, a year ago, my wife and I got our CC permits and I carry in my car.

Ugnh! So now I’m supposed to check the year AND the place!!?? (I see the title again - and the term “Ruffian” probably was in my brain too.)

And I guess I’m old enough where the term “colored” seemed a bit off, but not a screamer.

The lefties are going to only go after the soft targets, like this one. They will mostly stay in the big cities. You can arm up, but you probably won’t see much action. Most of the action will be in gun-free zones.
