BREAKING: Ian Miles Cheong suspended by Twitter for tweeting support for police intervention in riots

Human Events managing editor and The Post Millennial contributing editor Ian Miles Cheong was suspended by Twitter Thursday evening for a tweet that supported law enforcement using force to handle rioters in Portland, Ore.

During the time period that Cheong tweeted about, riots were declared in Portland, and many rioters and Antifa militants were arrested.

DHS reported that "federal officers came under heavy laser attack from rioters," and that "rioters also launch a roughly 10-minute-long continuous firework attack against the [Mark O. Hatfield federal] courthouse."

"Rioters started to throw explosive devices at the fence perimeter and, in addition to the use of saws and power tools, began to try and hammer bolts off the fence."

The tweet in question was a response to a video that showed a protestor with a megaphone yelling at DHS agents and cursing them, as DHS stood asking the protestors to "back up."

The protestor says "why don't you drop it," referring to the DHS agents' guns. "You gotta get permission? You gotta get permission?" The man sneers.

I only have a twitter account so I can read President Trump's tweets...well, James Woods and a few others. But I now belong to Parler. Parler is much better for Conservatives.

Twitter is straight up COMMUNISM..even China isn’t this bad.. I follow Ian, I follow Bill Mitchell..this is absurd and DISGUSTING

Twitter is a tool of DS and should be put down like a rabid dog.

Time for the DOJ to go after twitter over infringement of First Amendment rights.

[House Atreides]

Twitter = STASI Wanabes... at best.

Hi guys, Twitter just suspended me for opposing masks. Who knows if I’ll ever be back. I’m sure their decision wasn’t political at all. In the meantime, you can reach me here.

I had a twitter but never used it. I did get a Parler account at the end of June and I love it maybe a little too much. I go between Free Republic and Parler. Love them both.

[mass55th]

I never had any social media account, but the end of June, I joined Parler.

[madison10]

I have both. Kept Twitter for the same reason as you.

I hate to leave the Conservatives without support, but keeping Twitter is going against my values now.

Not going to happen. The Uniparty is giving Twitter a mulligan to defeat Trump and the MAGA agenda.

[TBP]

Controlling information.

[TBP]

You can’t say that.

[madison10]

I cannot get Parler to work on the website or app.

[funfan]

Really. I have it on my Desktop.Windows

"Rioters started to throw explosive devices at the fence perimeter and, in addition to the use of saws and power tools, began to try and hammer bolts off the fence."

I understand that cops really don't want to kill people, so why not just grab a bunch of shotguns and load 'em up with a bunch of rock salt? Scare the crap out of the mob, give the actual idiots doing the damage a bunch of stinging minor injuries, and it'll make a large portion of the US populace feel good when they hear about it on the news!

"federal officers came under heavy laser attack from rioters"

I'll refrain from tweeting that I believe that head shots by Federal officers are a suitable response to laser attack.

It's even better if the Federal officers catch them, beat them and THEN head shot them...

Time for the DOJ to go after twitter over infringement of First Amendment rights.

Nah.

I declare the November election null and void.

President Trump keeps the White House for another four years.

These election-riggers want the White House? They're going to have to wade through a lead sleet-storm to take it.

[trebb]

I stay on Twitter to troll all the leftists...and to see how far I can push it w/o getting suspended/banned.

I was trying it on my phone and Kindle.
