Colorado Springs police arrested eight people Thursday afternoon for “failure to desist and disperse” outside the Broadmoor World Arena where President Donald Trump was holding a campaign rally.
After a certain amount of time, Colorado Springs police started to warn the protestors they needed to get back on the sidewalk.
Colorado Springs Police Community Relations Sergeant Jason Newton said, “We made the decision. We had to act quickly to get the situation under control and made the arrests quickly and the event going back and people continuing to protest.”
Over a megaphone, an officer can be heard saying, “if you do not move immediately, you will be arrested for obstructing an intersection.”
Dozens of officers from several law enforcement agencies dispersed into the intersection, with riot gear, including shield, masks, and helmets.

Over a megaphone, an officer can be heard saying, “if you do not move immediately, you will be arrested for obstructing an intersection.”
Dozens of officers from several law enforcement agencies dispersed into the intersection, with riot gear, including shield, masks, and helmets.
“An intersection blocking traffic, putting yourself in danger, putting others in danger that is not a place to exercise your first amendment rights,” explained Newton.
They used their gear to try and move the crowds back onto the sidewalk.
When some resisted, they were arrested.
Newton said, “several people chose instead to take over the roadway and obstruct traffic at the entrance and exit to the area.”
Those arrested will be charged with a violation of Colorado Springs municipal code 9.2.103, failure to desist and disperse, a citation that will require those arrested to appear in court.

Colorado Springs PD released the names of the 8 arrested today. They were charged w/failing to desist or disperse.
Edward Billings, 49 Patrick Carroll, 29 Douglas Wilson, 50 Shepard Emry, 27 Jonathan Christiansen, 42 Charles Johnson, 20 Lawrence Stoker, 19 Chauncy Johnson, 20
Patrick Carroll, 29, was one of the masked people arrested at the anti-Trump protest. He was carrying the red flag of communism. His social media posts rail against fascists and capitalists. In one post, he talks about “shattering” the kneecap of a banker with a tire iron.

If these were the good old days we would have to treat communists as they deserve, but not today, we become weak nations that tolerates too much and these political doctrines that we tolerate could overtake us. People seem to forget the history of communism!
Don’t most of these people realize that once the commies take power….it will be their job to sort corn or some other menial task? One the revolution is over… agitators types will be forced to do menial tasks, or be killed.
Yesterday we found out that US officials have told Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to help his campaign 30 days ago, prompting the frontrunner in the Democratic race to strongly condemn any interference. He didn’t reveal anything until WaPo realized this information.
These things with communism are going too far.

These are not the same communists as 1968, and the cops will need to up their game to a whole new level.
They want war, give them war.”
Yep, the old fashioned “wood shampoo/concrete facial”...
The other option is stand there and take the abuse.
And that’s NOT an option for an American.
Any masked individual (other than on Halloween or when it’s four degrees out with a wind chill of minus twenty) should be checked for ID and their presence documented for later arrest should trouble break out.
Communists don’t like President Trump - who would have guessed?
We need to do something about the renewed spread of communism in the West. We need to do a lot of things, each of us (as freedom’s enemies would say) “according to our ability”. As a group we need to give back to our country according to America’s extreme need. It’s a whole lot cheaper to go all out for the next five years (election 2020 through election 2024) than it is to fight another civil war (either in 2021 or in 2025 over whether democrats will again be permitted to enslave their fellow Americans.
Isn’t it interesting that the “Progressives” chatter about imminent threat of “white supremacists” while Communist cells, ANTIFA gangs, La Raza Separatists, and Chinese spy rings engage in all sorts of fun and only when they do overt crap like this do they get any police attention?
But Chrissy Wray tells us they’re just social societies, not real threat.
Oh, yeah. That’s a shame, too.
Far too many police departments are being run by the same Commies that are pulling this crap. Their “Chiefs” are political appointees that more often than not end up being placemats and quota hires who will do the bidding of the Mayor who appointed them.
It’s the Cop on the street who suffers right along with the citizens who they are supposed to serve and protect.
Let’s assume that these 8 losers went to a small to medium size university say 10,000 in student population. That’s .08 % indoctrinated, not very effective indoctrination!
I don’t think that number would be any higher or lower with or without the university. Almost the entirety of these morons are just slackers who live on the edge, collect welfare, work a few “very select” minimum wage jobs (maybe) & blame everyone & everything but not themselves for their situation. I’ve seen them from small town America where there “slackness” is not normally ideologically justified to college campuses ( “slacker supporting jobs are more plentiful!) where it usually is ideologically justified. Nowadays because of the great glut of publicity seeking lawyers they’re more publicly tolerated.
All stoner states are pro communism,well gee gosh there all ran by democrats who knew.
A drop of superglue in the key-socket of each lock would work fine. Then let them sit there in the cold and their own filth for a few hours, after having moved them out of line of traffic. They might not be so eager to defy social norms the next time!
How loud would he squeal if an angry conservative that he tried to attack were to shatter his knee with a tire iron?
RE A Shame:
It is, but they stood their watch, and their watch is over
They left it for us to defend.
And we will. By any means necessary.
Just waiting for the word to roll.
A whole lot of us are, brother.
“”We made the decision. We had to act quickly to get the situation under control and made the arrests quickly and the event going back and people continuing to protest.””
Sentence doesn’t make any sense no matter how many times it’s repeated. Maybe when communism takes over, they’ll get rid of the so-call journalists that couldn’t put together a coherent article if their lives depended on it.
I am not getting any younger. Let’s get this party started!!
a couple of videos etc on this Andy Ngo twitter thread:

“...I am not getting any younger...”
Me too, my brother.
That’s what the Lefties are counting on.
But we can still can kick their asses. All the way out to 700 yards.
