When They Showed Up, These Guys Were Waiting
(strong language warning)
Anti-police activists were set to burn the American flag at a New York City park Wednesday evening, but their plans seemingly changed when dozens of bikers and veterans came out to counter protest.
Flocking to Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park, individuals opposed to burning the U.S. flag waited for the “Disarm NYPD” group to arrive. While most urged for peace, several bikers threatened violence toward anyone who would burn the American flag.
“We’re here to f*** up tiny liberal punks,” a biker who refused to identify himself told TheBlaze.

About 30 minutes after the scheduled flag burning was supposed to begin, the group set fire to one flag at a far corner of the park away from counter protesters.

When word got out that the flag burning was underway, dozens of counter protesters, along with the NYPD, sprinted toward the scene. Emotions quickly escalated and one biker pushed a man suspected of being associated with the flag burning to the ground.
Moments later, bikers and other counter protesters chased the anti-police activists out of the park, running after them while some threatened violence.
As one woman suspected of being with the anti-police group left the park, a crowd gathered around her.
“Shame, shame, shame!” some shouted toward the woman as officers provided her with protection.
“Get the f*** out of the country if you don’t like it!” another echoed.
Organizers had said earlier that the flag burning was aimed at combatting racism and social injustice.
“There will be no peace until we tear down this system of oppression,” the group wrote on the event’s Facebook page. “It isn’t enough to take the flag down; we must put an end to white supremacy once and for all.”
When the event attracted online attention, “Disarm NYPD” defended the burning of the American flag in an online statement.
“We find it a sign of the times that people can care so much about a piece of cloth, while at the same time be so quiet about black churches being burned all over the country,” a post on Facebook said. “Perhaps this is the great difference between us and the so-called ‘patriots’. While they express their loyalty to symbols, we express our loyalty to the lives of the oppressed.”

Yeah, SOP for the left, saving face by any means necessary. The local lefties from Tampa put a similar spin on the attempted confederate flag burning in Brooksville last week.
What?
No Rainbow flag and Confederate Battle Flag being ignited in the name of “diversity”?
Shame, shame, shame. /sarc
Activist or Hate Promoters?
“We’re here to f*** up tiny liberal punks.”
We could use a guy like this in the congressional leadership.
Here's my take on things (as if anyone asked!): This social media generation is all talk and not so good when it comes to actual confrontations. I think they could be easily run off the planet if we ever got our stuff together and countered them in meaningful ways. The stupid old hippies are going by the wayside (or already sold out), and the middle ground probably struggle to just get by, and the younger ones don't have an actual clue or real social skills, just make believe ones in social media. I think to some degree we are being played.
Spawn of radicals from the 60s.
New York haters? Where are you? Inconvenient data point?
shoot um
There were some ethnics mixed in with this as well; the sanctimonious Yankees were probably shocked the Farrakhan’s sentiments are widely held in the non-white community (that the American flag is no better than the Confederate flag.
I remember well the Million Mooch March, where American flags were forbidden, as well as our first May Day parades, with masses of Mexican flags; I find this actually very liberating, because the whole idea of “Ask what you can do for your country” has become laughable. My country has criminalized whites like me with legalized discrimination, and simply wants me to continue working my butt off to feed, house, clothe, and school a mass of people who couldn’t be bothered to take care of themselves.
I enjoy watching the leftist dream disintegrate in violence, drug abuse, and illiteracy. The WASPs wouldn’t fight to keep their country & culture; their successors have neither.
And plenty here say we should leave NYC to the animals
So true. The zombification of America's youth is well underway.
Let’s be clear about one thing: black churches are NOT being “burned all over the country.” Ask these punks to name those incidents. They can’t. Never happened.
“Organizers had said earlier that the flag burning was aimed at combatting racism and social injustice.”
BS.
Either we man up and do something, or our Country, the best ever seen on the face of the Earth, is done. Finished. Smoldering on the ash heap of history.
