Roughly 2 dozen block Valero Energy HQ entrance to protest fuel sales to Israeli military (Now San Antonio)
San Antonio Express News ^ | 04/15/2024 | By Sara DiNatale

Roughly two dozen pro-Palestinian protesters on Monday blocked the entrance to Valero Energy Corp.’s headquarters off the Loop 1604 access road on the Northwest Side, snarling traffic for nearly two hours as they chanted against the oil refining company selling fuel used by the Israeli military.

“Not another nickel, not another dime,” the group yelled, as some sat cross-legged by the headquarters’ entry road, “no more money for Israel’s crimes.”

The protest, which included a 25-person blockade, was done in coordination with other major cities across the U.S. to coincide with Tax Day and what activists call the U.S. government’s “complicity in funding and arming genocide.” The local group was part of the “A15 Action” — for April 15 — to coordinate choke points and create economic blockages in support of Palestinians in cities such as San Antonio, Chicago and San Francisco.

Add Portland also to the list of terrorist targets today. I wonder how many other cities have been targeted by pro-Hamas supporters?

Oh well. I'm sure the Just Us Department knows who these people are and are making room in DC jails.

Revolution
by the Beatles

But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out.

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, you have to wait

You say you’ll change the Constitution
well, you know
We’d all love to change your head

If you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right?
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right?

Part of a coordinate conspiracy with groups awaiting instructions and start times in several places.

Highway 880, Golden Gate Bridge, NY Brooklyn Bridge, Valero Energy.

Conspiracy. Organized crime. Insurrection.

Protesters wearing signs reading “Free Palestine” and “Stop Genocide” also blocked all lanes of traffic headed to the O’Hare terminals. Is this not an insurrection? Where are the grubby 4’ x 8’ concrete cells to stash these insurrectionists without a hearing for three years? Next they will be throwing Molotov cocktails to kill the motorists stopped on the the roadways.

San Antonio is now a liberal wuss city. It used to be known as Military City USA. Probably still is as the military has little to no respect these days.

San Antonio is just another prog city. Almost all big cities are prog cities. The state doesn’t matter when it comes to that.

They are trying to draw us out to counter protest and start scuffles. Don’t fall into the trap. Let them make a$$es out of themselves and shut everything down.
Then the higher ups will have to react.

Let them get all cozy and comfy in the kill box.

Who is paying these criminal anarchists?

Low life’s don’t work for free, nor for a cause.

Knightstick or baton to the throat or head, or shin works well too!

Voted. But I think they should use rubber bullets first.

There was a time when San Antonio Police meant something.
Guess that went the way of the chili queens...
