Activists prepare to storm DC in Independence Day weekend protests
Washington Examiner ^ | July 3, 2020 | Nicholas Rowan

Protesters plan to storm Washington, D.C., over Independence Day weekend with protests and demonstrations.

Activists in the most high profile of these events plan to protest the Emancipation Memorial in Lincoln Park. The memorial, which leaders of the local collective the Freedom Neighborhood claimed they would topple last week, has become a subject of national interest, with many people making a case both for and against the statue. Glenn Foster, the leader of the Freedom Neighborhood, has promoted multiple protests against the memorial set for the days surrounding the July 4 weekend. In some of his material, he celebrated the fact that on Tuesday the Boston Arts Commission voted to remove an identical copy of the statue, which depicts President Abraham Lincoln freeing the slave Archer Alexander, from public display.

No crowd yet. I’ll keep an eye on it for the next couple of days.

They got the leaders of the Jackson statue attack on Federal charges
They will do the same tomorrow

The leaders of these mobs are actually few
The mobs and anarchist orgs have been penetrated, the leaders identified, and federal task forces formed to take them down
Trump is neither helpless nor benign and I do believe Barr has his back on how this is being addressed, since the Swamp is denying Trump many of the powers used by every previous Pres to contain insurrection masking itself as protest

Fine, let the potheads have a good time. The Gov’t needs to protect American property with whatever it takes.

“”Which is precisely the reaction they want.””

I don’t believe that’s on their minds at all. They’ve been brainwashed that all white men/women already hate them so where can they go from there?

Now just where, I wonder, do all these wankers get the money to travel, eat oh and drink and do drugs, so that they can 'peacefully protest' and override the will of the majority?

At least in Hungary these groups being bankrolled by Soros and his ilk have to be transparent about where their money comes from so that everyone knows their true nature and goals. That's why the tards in the EU hate Hungary so much.

... or, as the article implies, he isn’t ideological but has just found a way to monetize by looking so.

Who benefits from the chaos? Out of chaos comes order. And it’s white people who will be the ones in charge, only it will be Communists, who will first eliminate the very people who helped them.

If the Marxists and the anarchists move to violence and attacking statues and burning down buildings,they should be met with commensurate force...

Thugs can burn, loot and destroy ON CITY PROPERTY UNDER DEMOCRAT MAYOR CONTROL... but much of DC is federal property. If the little sh*ts try something on federal property President Trump can stop them.

I'm guessing they'll only destroy what the witch mayor (democrat) controls.

Eff the bastards...

LOW LIFES prepare to storm DC in Independence Day weekend MAYHEM, DESTRUCTION, AND DEATH ENABLED BY THE DNC AND RADICAL LEFT - unceasing peripheral attacks by the Left on Trump and America.

The Left’s attacks are always peripheral because they categorically lose in the debate in the forum of ideas because they stand for no reasonable ideas or ideals - only mindless and mind-numbing Worldwide Totalitarian Government.

They’ll get their wish someday to their own destruction. But not yet.

I think this country needs a department who is tasked with securing the homeland.

I'll "love" them after we run the Marxists out of this country. They don't belong here, period.

My wife was just reading an article.
Apparently the Antifa crowd is planning to have balloons filled with muriatic acid (impure hydrochloric acid)and wax to cause it to stick. And throw them on counter-demonstrators.

Do tell us the history of the five years prior to the Civil War. What was the state of politics then and what was the main idea running through the nation’s newspapers at that time? Please tell us that you had non-public school ejumucation so that we might be enlightened on the specific canard that gobmint skools taught us.

Can you tell me who the Godfather of the Republican party is and what he founded? And what his beliefs were? Because this does tie into what you ascribe to as a canard being promulgated by gubnit skools.

Can you tell me the reason why the last remaining holdout states refused to ratify the US Constitution? Here let me give you a little hint: it wasn’t about crackers.

In the statue wars, most of the "demonstrators" are white and heavily female. The older ones are the Antifa types, majority male but with a legit female presence. The bulk of the crowd is younger and heavily female, composed mostly of virtue signaling SJW's and even younger kids drunk on demonstration chic.
