Norco, California. 40 BLM white goons attempted a riot but were literally chased out of town by the residents. Happened about a week ago.

Houston, America's fourth largest city, had some broken windows and a burned out police car, but was otherwise unscathed.

The local police amped up their presence and stopped any escalation of violence, and they had a compliant media that wasn't out there encouraging the crowd to go wild.

I heard about a town in Idaho that pushed back.

Austin Texas - some idiots down there tried to pull a Portland/Seattle and got jumped every time. There's some satisfying video of police horses putting the mash on a bunch of them.

Phoenix did a good job of containing the protesters - Some broken windows, but no looting that I’m aware of. PHXPD has a black, female Chief, but she’s no fool. Unfortunately, Scottsdale, with a much more conservative bent, went totally tits up, and let the looters do as they wished. I was shocked by the lack of response.

In Brandenburg, KY, a small town a county or 2 west of Louisville on the Ohio River, some commies showed up to desecrate a Confederate statue(that was originally in Louisville to start with but leftists managed to get it moved) and a bunch of locals heard about it going down and showed up with rifles to protect it. Everyone traded insults then they all went home.

Anybody in suburbs seen action?


I live in Fridley, MN, a suburb just north of Minneapolis. The Fridley Police Department to their credit responded aggressively when the SHTF, and after a couple of small failed hit-and-run vandalizing/looting attempts during the first couple nights (where they were quickly arrested or chased off), the rioters basically gave up. They went back to Minneapolis to do the rest of their mayhem.

As the MLK riots started in various US cities, Phildelphia Police Chief and later Mayor Frank Rizzo said,

"There will be no riots in Philadelphia".

There were no riots in Philadelphia.

The [original] black panthers came to Philadelphia to "demonstrate."

Rizzo had them strip searched and left them naked in the street.

They never came back.

One of the most iconic photographs in Philadelphia history:

In 1969, during a disturbance at a housing project, Police Commissioner Frank L. Rizzo, in a tuxedo, gives orders with a nightstick tucked into his cummerbund.

I’m in a city next to you and the police were keeping a close eye on things here. Didn’t notice anything protest related the whole time.

I’m betting that there were a lot of residents ready to defend if need be though.

Also Nashville stopped it pretty quickly when they tried to do a copycat CHOP there.

Syracuse, NY.

A protest started to turn violent and the mayor was on it within hours.

That was the end of it.

He’s a Christian and politically an independent.

Manchester, NH, too.

Armed citizens and the police escorted the protesters and when they tried to make it violent, the police stopped it cold.

Actually, Antifa did show up in Ceour d’Alene. However, with all the heavily armed locals around, they basically ended up sitting around with a few signs. The one young man who exited a vehicle with a crowbar ended up peacefully surrendering it to a man with a semi-auto rifle.

Thanks. Didn’t know that.

There was a shouting match downtown last week between BLM / anti-police idiots and patriots last week. Other than the shouting, it was peaceful.

“Panama City FL. There were a few protesters but not aware of violence or destruction. They did stand at the bridge between Panama City and Panama City Beach but no one is dumb enough to walk in front of that traffic.”

The last thing you want to do is get between a snowbird and his condo.

Thanks all, because we really need to document everything we can.

I’m amazed they’re not on TV for being evil whites using jack-booted police brutality.

That’s partly why I thought maybe no such thing happened.
