So, let’s sum this up: A caravan of SEIU buses receive a Metropolitan (D.C.) Police Department escort to a private home in Maryland where the protesters, from all appearances, violate Montgomery County law by engaging in a stationary protest. The Montgomery County police were not informed by their cross-jurisdictional colleagues of the impending, unusually large protest pending in their jurisdiction.
What’s up with that? Had the mob decided to torch the house, the D.C. police would not have been authorized to intervene. Not their jurisdiction. They’re just escorts. Meanwhile, a teenage boy is home alone, frightened by what’s happening outside his front door. [BE SURE TO READ THE ARTICLE AT THE LINK FOR MORE INFO.]
There’s something very wrong with this picture.

Most school buses are owned by private contractors, where I live.
Don’t know about Maryland or Washington, D.C. If the buses are privately owned anyone can hire them, I imagine.
DC Police? Doesn’t Congress have a stake in this? Will the GOP “leadership” scream for hearings?
Very probably. Or part of an affiliated union, at least.
Cheap nylon rope will be nicely. No need to use the good stuff on scum.
liberals seem determined to start a combo civil war and revolution.
Honestly, I feel that may be Obama’s plan, to drive
the common citizen to confront the government and
then crack down. The patriots will have no one but
themselves to rely on, whereas the leftists will
get help from Cuba,China,Russia, and all manner
of leftist supporters.
It’s not like the 1800s where foreign interference
was minimal...
He did mention that James Gandolfini was at a Circus, Circus show, and looked at him with child in arms, and said "Satan" had showed up. Later he apologized and said he hoped the child had not heard it, but sadly he had.
bttt
The International Brotherhood of Police Officers, ibpo.org, is an SEIU affiliate. They changed their logo, used to have SEIU right on their logo, now you can check the tiny info at the bottom of the homepage.
So the DC police are officially Chekists now.
Hey, there is STILL such a thing as the first amendment.
Let these assholes be seen by as many people as possible.
I’m fixxing to post it on Facebook.
Compare that to the treatment given protesters at abortion clinics, where they're required to keep a specific distance.
These wreak of the pre-Pol Pot Cambodia, the pre-Mao China, and pre-Stalin Russia. These staged protests are meant to drum up support for the fascist take-over of our nation.
Look, I know there are differences with our former government (before this fascist took over) and what existed in those nations, but don’t think for a second that this takeover is any different. It’s the same damned thing, and the result will wind up the same damned way.
Our nation is under siege. Or media having been tipped decades ago, now participating in sedition, and now government agencies are participating in the effort.
This needs to be confronted right now!
Chavez, Castro and Calderon will come to his aid if we try to have BHO removed?
So, you think all of us are going to just stand by and wring hands like nice girls?
Folks that should have been Lenin instead of Stalin, and I apologize.
Neil Cavuto covering this now.
On August 9, 1932, the government decreed the death penalty for those convicted of ‘political’ murder. The next night a band of Nazis invaded the home of a Communist worker in the Silesian village of Potempa and stomped him to death, kicking his larynx to pieces. When the killer s were arrested, tried, and sentenced in accordance with the new law, Hitler responded with threats and demonstrations. On Sept. 2, the government gave its answer: the death sentences were commuted to life imprisonment. The killers were freed by Hitler next year.So where do we go from here?The civilized men in the country did not know what to do. In the words of one historian, the moderates voiced desperate "appeals to reason… [But] their techniques were distinctly out of tune with the wild emotionalism that seemed to have gripped a large part of the nation" The civility cherished by the civilized men had finally been defeated by their ideas, although they did not know that this was the cause.
After years of preaching contradictions and of evading principles with an anti-ideological shrug, these men were astonished to see the nation conclude that man cannot live by principles, that reason is no guide to action, and that anything goes. After years of institutionalizing interest-group warfare, which they had justified as sacrifice or collective service, these men were astonished to see hostile gangs take to the streets and demand one another’s sacrifice. After years of undercutting the mind by preaching the primacy of gentle feeling (whether ‘progressive’, religious, or skeptical), these men were astonished to find that they had nothing more to say, and that there was no one left to listen. The moderates were helpless. The authorities were helpless. The killers were taking over.
On January 30, 1933, after due attention to every requirement of German law and of the Weimar Constitution, Nazi rule was made official… It took six months for the Chancellor to transform the country into a totalitarian state."
Leonard Peikoff - The Ominous Parallels
Very soon, that's not going to matter...
I want to know what DC police official approved this. Perhaps the police were there to arrest the homeowner if the protesters were hassled.
A few more incidents like this (government support of the left wing kooks at private homes) and things will really start heating up here.
