Could Provo, Utah become ground zero? – Here’s a little experiment for you to conduct this morning. Go to Google or whatever other search engine you use and do a search on “Provo shooting.” Now, try to identify a single story on that topic from a national news media outlet. If you find one, let me know because it is not coming up on my computer.
For those of you who may have missed it, on Monday, BLM rioters actually shot and almost killed a man who was attempting to escape after his car had been surrounded by thugs wielding clubs and other weapons. One man – who has now been arrested – drew a pistol and fired two shots at the man, with one severely wounding him. Videos taken of the incident show at least one additional man pulling a pistol and firing on the car as it drove away.
This is an incredibly dangerous escalation in the violence that BLM and Antifa have been committing on the streets of major cities for the past five weeks, yet it gets not a peep out of our utterly corrupt national news media. Of course, the media’s ongoing narrative – coordinated daily with the Democrat Party – is that BLM is just a placid and peaceful organization dedicated to the fight against police brutality. Obviously, the Provo story does not fit that false narrative, so it gets ignored.
Also ignored is the fact that Utah is a right to carry state, and that fact led to BLM/Antifa radicals being met in Provo yesterday by a counter-protest featuring hundreds of armed citizens who said they were there to prevent another near-killing or worse from taking place.
From a story at the Salt Lake City Tribune:
“The innocent person getting shot the other day, we as a community want those guys to know we don’t put up with that. We’ll back the police,” said a counterprotester who only gave his first name, Weston. “The road is for people to drive their vehicles on and we have a right to travel freely.”
“They can have a different opinion, I can respect that,” Weston added, saying he supports protests as long as no one gets hurt.
Police officers estimated the crowd Wednesday grew to between 200 and 300 people, with about two-thirds of the group there in support of racial equity and Black Lives Matter.
Officers blocked off the roads so protesters could march down Center Street to the steps of the Historic Utah County Courthouse. They were flanked by the counterprotesters. A man on a terrace near the top of the Nu Skin Enterprises building pointed a rifle at the crowd, but the movement otherwise remained peaceful.
[End]
Thus, thanks to the police practice all over the country of just allowing these leftist thugs to block streets, trap cars and threaten their occupants with impunity, we now have a situation in Provo in which a single gunshot, whether fired intentionally or accidentally by some goofball who forgot to set his safety, could potentially touch off a bloodbath. This is what stupid police practice forced by ineffectual politicians leads to folks – it is nothing more or less than an inevitable outcome.
Given the violent nature and goals of the Marxist thugs who lead BLM and Antifa, it is frankly amazing that we have not already seen a bloodbath take place. Well, other than in Chicago, where bloodbaths with 100 or so shot and a dozen or two innocent citizens murdered are regular weekend occurrences under Mayor Lori Lightfoot. But I digress.
And if you still somehow labor under the media-promoted illusion that these BLM thugs are just innocent Americans fighting for social justice, look what they did last night in Portland, Oregon:
What, are the elks in the Portland area racists now?
These thugs are not innocents; they aren’t well-meaning people fighting for social justice. They are Marxists, violent anarchists whose goal is the ultimate destruction of the foundations of the American Republic.
If local officials in Provo and other cities around the country aren’t extremely careful, Monday’s escalation of violence there could ultimately end up being remembered as another shot heard ’round the world, and not in a good way.
That is all.
It’s called SPIKING - something that the media still does, and unbelievably, IT STILL WORKS. They continue to hold the monopoly on the news and our side, even though we have the money and the people, simply throws up their hands.
For example, if measured by the number of arrests, the largest protests in the US since 1900 were in Kansas, in 1992. How many remember that? You don’t, they spiked it.
I searched “Provo shooting” and lots of stories from multiple sources came up.
Crickets chirping among all national media outlets, apparently. America is being played. Storm clouds are gathering with increasing speed. It’s only a matter of time before the storm hits. It will not be pretty.
Think about it, you turn a corner and are immediately surrounded by dozens of armed thugs. (yes, carrying clubs or other improvised weapons makes them armed) You are now in a life-or-death situation with only seconds to react and respond.
The precedent Provo now gives us is we can rationally and reasonably claim in that situation we are in fear for our lives. In my State, that means I may use deadly force to escape or end the situation. I will drive over or through anyone I have to. I will use the 9mm and spare mags I am now carrying to clear a path. I will not stop until I am out of sight and +5 miles or so from the protest. If I am followed in a vehicle then all traffic laws just became null and void - I will evade. I will evade again aided by the 9mm if necessary.
This is what Provo has done. It has set the stage for even more violence.
I cannot find a CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, NBC, NYT, WaCompost, etc. story on this shooting. Why are they suppressing the news? Could it be the story would not be favorable to Joe Biden’s campaign?
Another reason why I’m glad I stocked up on 30 round mags for the Glock 10mm.
Whoever’s behind these protests/riots has been taunting police and civilians for a “bloody shirt” moment for some time now. Part of me is wondering when they’ll stage a false flag event to get the martyrs they want.
The only SPIKING in the media these days is to inflame COVID fears by reporting case number “SPIKES”.
That’s my valley. We are ready.
He had a 4000lb weapon.
Road blocks and mobs beating people in the street is not “the right of the people peaceably to assemble”, as described in our Bill of Rights.
Standing on the side of the road waving a sign or meeting in a public place for speeches and discussions are reasonable.
But as soon as you step out into the street, blocking lawful travelers, you have committed a crime and are no longer a peaceful protester..
Blocking roads prevents the truck driver from making a living, the ambulance from saving a persons life, a doctor from making it to the hospital....all of which are violent criminal acts.
Hasn’t Antifa been declared a Terror group ?
Why dont the cops arrest them all ?
Where are the round ups of these terrorists ?
Stop letting them terrorize innocent people !
Trump needs to fire Wray .
Hide Sheriff D Clarke as a Terror czar and
clean house at the FBI .
FYI
“Provo does set a precedent. Now if anyone is stopped/trapped by a crowd of “protesters” (aka rioters, looters, & thugs) they can reasonably say they are in fear for their lives.”
In the State of South Carolina: If someone unlawfully and forcefully enters your occupied vehicle you have the right to shoot. If they try to pull you out of your car, you can shoot. I recommend having a 360 degree coverage dash camera in today’s environment.
Note never point a gun in SC unless you are in the process of defending yourself.
The national news is not cover Provo, because they do not want people researching their State Laws on Stand Your Ground.
From watching the videos of protesters trying to pull people out of their cars (you can shoot if they try to pull you our of your car), if people knew there rights their would be a lot of dead protestors. At least in SC, not sure about other States.
You do know that, by merely mentioning the black-on-black crime rates (in Chicago or elsewhere), you are automatically a racist by SJW and MSM standards (which, admittedly, are pretty low).
I watched a video of this and these idiots were running in front of the car and deliberately trying to get hit by the car. As he sped off another white guy was pointing a gun at him. I heard a total of 3 shots so this wasn’t some kind of oops I forgot to put the safety on incident. This was attempted murder.
These Utah BLM terrorists were all “White and Delightsome”
I’ve found that when I can’t find what I’m looking for I can sometimes use Bing instead and it shows up on the first page.
Obviously Google is messing with the algorithm.
