The only “justice” available in St. Louis is the kind paid for by George Soros. – The St. Louis couple who brandished a pistol and rifle to protect their homes from a group of about 300 aggressive BLM Marxists who had broken down the gate to invade their community had their home invaded again on Friday. This time the invasion – and confiscation of their guns – was conducted by police acting on the orders of Obama-funded city prosecutor Kimberly Gardner:
So, a group of potentially violent rioters can destroy the legally-placed entrance to a gated community and invade private property (the streets in the neighborhood are owned by the HOA) and this “circuit attorney” will do nothing. But anyone who brandishes a permitted firearm as a means of protecting their own home will be subject to search and seizure and potential prosecution.
This is absolutely outrageous, and another instance where we see the U.S. Department of Justice doing nothing to intervene. William Barr, where are you?
The only real justice being executed in the United States right now appears to be whatever comes from the President’s desk. – Corrupt Marxist Minnesota Governor Tim Walz found that out the hard way late Friday evening, as his despicable request for a federal government bailout to repair the riot damage done to Minneapolis was outright denied by the Trump Administration.
From a story at the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
The federal government has denied Gov. Tim Walz’s request for aid to help rebuild and repair Twin Cities structures that were damaged in the unrest following George Floyd’s death.
Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster” for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2. More than 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism in the days of unrest that followed Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody, racking up more than $500 million in damages, according to Walz.
The governor’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, confirmed late Friday that the request for federal aid was denied.
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” Tschann said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”

Oh, darn. Oh, heck. Oh, that nasty old Donald Trump.
Thank God for Donald Trump and his clear-eyed view of this world. These riots were Democrat Party riots. BLM and Antifa, the two domestic terrorist groups that organized and managed the riots, are nothing but Democrat Party armed support groups, just as the Ku Klux Klan was for more than a century in this country. These Democrat Party riots were enabled and urged on by Democrat mayors and Democrat governors and simply do not in any way merit the intervention of the U.S. taxpayer to help to pay for the damage they caused.
This Trump ruling was a big middle finger to Gov. Walz, and it sends a very important signal to the Democrat Party and its armed terrorists: You break it, you buy it.
It is the only proper signal to send.
News you won’t see reported on CNN or MSNBC. – A Washington state judge approved a petition effort to recall despicable Democrat/Marxist Mayor Jenny Durkan, the feckless nitwit who facilitated the June riots in her city that led to the illegal establishment of the infamous CHAZ/CHOP area.
From a story at the Washington Times:
A King County Superior Court judge has approved a petition for an election to recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan.
The Seattle Times reports the ruling Friday on charges filed by a group of five people last month comes after weeks of local protests against racism and police brutality – sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Once any recall petition is approved, signatures are needed to qualify for a special election ballot. The petitioners must, within 180 days, collect valid signatures from a number of voters equal to 25% of the votes cast in the last election. In this case, signatures from more than 50,000 Seattle voters would be needed.
The Durkan petitioners’ recall effort accuses the mayor of “endanger(ing) the peace and safety of the community” by allowing police to “leak false information about fabricated crimes and threats to the media” and issuing a citywide curfew without sufficient notice to the public. The petitioners also accused Durkan of restricting certain property rights in downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, the neighborhood where many of the protests took place.
In a response Saturday, Durkan’s chief of staff, Stephanie Formas, said the mayor “consistently has acted to protect the City’s public health and safety and to respect the constitutional rights to peaceful protesters.”
[End]
The statement by Durkan’s chief of staff is an outright lie. Durkan willingly facilitated the actions of the rioters every step of the way, including ordering her police to stand down as the domestic terrorists seized control of the 3rd precinct police building and a city hall annex. She only relented and allowed the police to do their jobs after the rioters broke into her own gated community and vandalized her home.
Seattle Mayor Durkan's 'Summer of Love' - Ricochet
No Mayor in U.S. history – with the possible exceptions of Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot – has more richly deserved to be booted out of office than Durkan. If this recall effort fails, then any thinking person still living in Seattle with the means to do so should flee the area, because all hope for avoiding an inevitable descent into utter chaos will be lost.
Good luck and Godspeed.
That is all.
The couple should have said NO.
A standoff would have been exactly the right thing, so long as the eventual ending was peaceful.
But we may be putting too much on them.
another thought:
>>“As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”<<
He left out “of our own creation.”
You make the monster, you let him free, and you encourage him, don’t ask for daddy’s help when he hurts you.
Same thing needs to be repeated in every Democrat controlled city/state where rioters were placated.
And remember the Baltimore Mayor who just told her police to ‘let them burn it down’? Isn’t she the one now in jail? I hope all the Mayors who allowed the destruction of their own cities will have to pay a steep price. But they are completely LEFT cities, so I suspect those feckless Mayors would be re-elected in a New York minute.
What couple
Baltimore is a sad example because 25 years ago it had a wonderful rebirth. With a city harbor,Unbelievable Aquarium and Zoo. There are great hospitals and Universities.the airport is also a very nice airport. These mayors are terrible and the Left is destroying these cities on purpose. I doubt Baltimore will ever come back but it was fun and great for awhile.we had NBL tickets and just stopped going to games because of the risky parking situation.
Which proves beyond any doubt that they simply don't care what happens to the rest of us.
It's only when it affects THEM, that it becomes an issue.
And, it's about to get a lot worse, Walz, as your taxpaying base, businesses and other tax-paying employers flee the shit hole you helped to create.
I hear land is real cheap in Minneapolis right now.
Welcome to Detroit. You should have asked BLM for a bailout.
Maybe they might pay for it...
First they came for my neighbor and I did nothing.
ping!
The leftist Washington State Supreme Court will rule that the petition is both legally and factually insufficient, so this will go nowhere.
Durkan has 15 days to appeal, and the WASC has to decide whether or not to approve the recall petition within 30 days of the Superior Court decision. If the WASC approves the petition, I will be very surprised even though it is a no-brainer. Most, if not all, of the justices are close personal friends of Durkan.
If these LEFTY mayors keep doing what they are doing, they will all be mayors of donut holes.
Mayor Donut Hole
Had they refused entry they would have been killed.
Your neighbor did nothing. They should have hid all their weapons in a friend’s car parked down the street. they would have time to access them if the rioters returned.
the thing about the durkan recall petition is that its bill of particulars indicates that the people behind the recall are leftists unhappy that her stance was TOO tough!
e.g.:
“leak false information about fabricated crimes and threats to the media”
issuing a citywide curfew without sufficient notice to the public.
I have noticed a whole lot of corruption charges in the last few weeks; LA, San Fran, Chicago, etc. I hadn’t really noticed them before this. Is anybody thinking this is unusual?
I noticed in another thread it was mentioned that there “protesters” returned after their ar was taken, but the mob was turned away by individuals guarding/protecting the couples home.
Apparently some individuals have come to their aid.
