Last Night, We Saw Fascism In the Streets [Updated]
Powerline ^ | 11 Oct, 2019 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 10/11/2019 7:11:45 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Last night President Trump conducted a fabulously successful rally at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Scott had a great experience that included meeting the President and hearing his reporting praised repeatedly by President Trump. The 20,000 who were lucky enough to get into the Target Center had a wonderful time; by all accounts it was one of Trump’s best rallies.

But outside the arena, things were quite different. Thousands of lawless, violent Democrats “protested” Trump’s appearance by committing assault, among other crimes. They battled police officers. They attacked Republicans leaving Target Center. They set bonfires and burned patriotic regalia. They carried the flag of the defunct Soviet Union.

They spat on peaceful Trump supporters. They assaulted an uncounted number of normal citizens leaving the Target Center. They struck a woman across the head with a piece of lumber. They waved a sign that said, “Blue Lives Don’t F@$king Matter.” The Minneapolis Chief of Police reported, “Objects containing liquid believed to be urine were hurled at some of my officers along with bottles and rocks. Police horses were also assaulted by protesters striking them with sticks.”

These leftists are identical to the Nazi Brownshirts of the 1930s. But make no mistake–they represent today’s Democratic Party. A sitting Democratic State Representative, Aisha Gomez (DFL-Minneapolis), was seen among the fascists, dressed in black like an Antifa hoodlum.

They are not fascists.

They are Red Front.

Fascism comes next.

The troublemakers look to be mostly college aged. I’m willing to bet the problem is in the university system. This goes beyond Marxist professors.

Us ancient ones remember the 1968 DNC riots, violence and chaos by leftists were all over the major news networks every single night. They played a big part in Richard Nixon's victory.

Today, nobody will hear about these leftist / communist / fascist riots in Minneapolis because the press is run by the DNC.

GOP lawmakers are reluctant to defend law & order.

They gave Mueller probe a green light when they had got both Senate & Congress.

My grandfather began looking for a place to emigrate to when Red Front started rising in Weimar Germany. He visited Argentina but finally settle on the United States. They left Germany in 1927 when Red Front was really getting strong. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to talk to him about politics of Weimar Germany and his decision to leave.

“...Of course, everyone who attended the rally would have been unarmed, unlike the snowflake antifa thugs outside who were armed. Something has to change. They have organization, we don’t. Even if there had been some patriots there, they would have been greatly outnumbered. It was like Little Bighorn...”

Perhaps have several hundred armed patriots that blend in with the crowd. Lure the antifa thugs into a spot where they can be completely surrounded with no escape, and then give em a little taste of the Little Bighorn in real life. Spare NONE of em.

Trump should sell baseball bats at his rally to be purchased on the way out. “Home Run Trump 2020,” on the side.

Wanna bet a bunch of rally goers will buy them for protection on the way out? That would stop the nonsense quickly.

Better yet, forget porta potties. Sell cups with lids that people can fill. Hurl them at attackers.

Just thinking outside the box.

My local news described it as “some anti-Trump protesters got arrested as fights broke out on all sides”

No context just “good people on all sides did bad things”

Does anyone remember the political protests/riot in Chicago years ago;
UofI Chicago Circle campus stadium next to Little Village an area known for visits by Mexican Presidents. Protest was organized by Congressman Gutieriez and a Obama staffer.

“The troublemakers look to be mostly college aged”

Saw several fat white young women in the bunch.... probably hoping to get lucky with their gang of bangers.

That's a better idea than the beer concession at the Jane Fonda cemetery.

Weathermen, at that point. The militant arm of the Students for a Democratic Society. The Days of Rage was a big nothing, when the smoke cleared. They stepped up the violence, prompted in great part by the FBI’s killing of Fred Hampton(December, ‘69), planning to bomb an NCO dance at Fort Dix. During the building of the bombs, they f***ed up, and blew up their NY townhouse(March,’70) and necessarily went
“ underground”...The Weather Underground.

I am wondering if people actually plan to stay outside and do not choose to go in; do they also have to be unarmed or would they be allowed to carry?

Is there some known distance from rallies where people are allowed to carry?

Nah, the Brown Shirts were snappier dressers!

But other than that - Yeah, identical.
