Just got a call from Kristinn on-scene.
This is the SECOND round of attacks that the station and Freepers have withstood today.
Cops are clearing the street of cars so the violent radicals can march down the street to the recruiting center unencumbered.
Crowds have been throwing rocks, paint bombs in GLASS bottles, water bottles, and anything esle they can throw.
MPDC Chief Cathy Lanier was there before the attacks, ORDERING HER OFFICERS to DO NOTHING if the station was attacked.
No arrests are being made.
More info as I get it.
Kristinn is asking any Freepers and Friends in the area to come down and stand with the Freepers there now.
Be aware that this is not a place for children.
WTF. Pretty soon they will be paying the mob.
Thanks for the help, smooth. It was a very rough day!
They were talking about getting an MP unit assigned to that center.
If she can't do her job, she should step down
I was willing to deliver you to your destination had you been available.
This is not a protest, it's a coordinated nationwide campaign of vandalism. The First Amendment says "right to *peaceably* assemble and petition. This is not a peaceable action. The Riot Act 10 U.S.C. §§ 331-35 should be read, and then if the Shiite doesn't stop, heads should be cracked, and leaders, local and national should be arrested and hauled off to the Supermax.
§ 333. Interference with State and Federal law
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.
...
§ 334. Proclamation to disperse
Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.
From what we were told, the "chief" is just following the law that the DC city council put in place. It seems the commies and anarchists have been given free reign in DC proper by decree of city council.
I am glad to read your observations and to know that you are safely home!
So....
That's all I needed to know.
We Win, They Lose.
All this has an eerie resemblance to Little Rock in 1957.
Thanks—I just caught the Freepers on the repeat segment on Fox.
Five Freepers in the face of hundreds of antiwar scum.
Odds were in our favor.
Thank you! I am too tired to address that post!
Thanks 3D! It was a looooong drive home tonight! ;*)
LOL! You’re the BEST!!! ;*)
1957? What happened then? A little before my comprehension time.
Anyone have alink to the decree of the DC Council on this?
I want to call my Congreesman in the morning. These people in DC exist on my tax dollars. Enough is enough.
The police officers were all saying it was the council that has tied their hands. It is time for the people to rise up and flood the city council meetings and put a stop to this crap!!!
Of course being MoonRats, they think what did not work the last time, will work this time. The Happy Warrior was defeated by Tricky Dicky in that 40 years ago election, 301 to 191 in electoral college votes. Thanks in no small part to the racist former DemonRat George Wallace who got 13.5% of the popular vote and even 46 electoral votes. Nixon and Humphrey got 43.4% and 42.7% respectively of the popular vote. Humphrey probably would have won if not for Wallace, who won LA, AR, MS, AL and GA, plus one district of NC, and *probably* took away enough votes in other southern and border states to swing them to Nixon, (TN, SC, VA, NC, FL, maybe OK and MO as well. Maybe even CA )
Yes, it is late!
This is infuriating. Seeing that crowd on H&C—that was a situation that could have spiralled out of control.
The Freepers were great. The shots of the protestors had the Flag and patriotic posters in the screen shot—must have ruined the protestors’ day.
God bless and protect the Freepers who were on the frontline today.
THANK YOU for being there!
HUGS!!!
