DHS SENDS IN CHOPPER to Intimidate Tea Party Protesters in LA
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 22, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/22/2013 5:18:20 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

ARMED DHS GUARDS greeted St. Louis Tea Party protesters at the Town and Country IRS office on Tuesday.

Around 300 protesters turned out anyway.

DHS parked their vehicles right outside the IRS office just in case the Tea Party protesters got crazy and violent.

But the DHS intimidation was not isolated to St. Louis.

In Los Angeles DHS put a chopper in the air and told Tea Party protesters they could not be on federal property.

They had to move away from the building.

This report came from a Tea Party protester in California.

Many of our 300 tea party folks were approached immediately by Homeland Security and told they could not be on federal property. My lawyer told me as long as I didn’t block passage we were OK. Many Homeland Security trucks and a helicopter above us scared many patriots so most of group went to public side walk to rally.

However, I stayed at IRS entrance telling Homeland Security it is my right to be there.

Then as I was leaving carrying my sign a woman jumped out of her car in IRS parking lot and started threatening me, “I am with ICE!”

To which I replied, “I am with Laguna Patriots!”(continued)

I have not seen any violence associated with any Tea Party protest. Ever! However, history, experience and facts are meaningless to Democrats. If it were differently, then they wouldn’t be Democrats.

Sounds like they were begging for trouble. Ya know, one day they just may get what they are asking for.

'Begging for trouble"? No more than these Americans were...

And that just may be the the operative phrase for a Government reaction, "What they are asking for'. Chaos, turmoil, violence, may be the 'the justification' for Government to expand, to maintain, to exert its ever expanding control over the US populace.
Just be careful out there!

They were trying to provoke a response so they can have the excuse to go after Tea Parties out in the open (as opposed to doing so on the sly with the IRS). The commies are now spoiling for a confrontation.

> THIS WE KNOW The Obamanations are a tight-knit clique of socialists/communists/unions/progs/liberals——they see themselves as superior-—bound together by “enlightened” values — reason, tolerance, diversity and equality.

This is only what they portray to the public and is the very same method used by Communist leaders in just about every regime until their political position is safeguarded, then they flip the tables and become the elites and demand that all the citizens pay penance to the state which they split up and divert into their own coffers to become extremely wealthy and powerful. Their actions say much different when scrutinized. I know I’m preaching to the choir...sigh..

Yeah, I was also wondering that. Do they have any legal “police” powers at all? If not, perhaps this needs a court test sometime...

I remember when I used to speak to Russians online back in the ‘90’s to ask them how it was living under Ommunist rule, the KGB, and the GRU presence. Now the Russians are starting to ask the same questions in reverse roles. These trying times..csigh

Who gave the order to deploy HSA? This question has to be hammered.

You owe me a new keyboard! I laughed so hard I blew coffee on my keyboard, then when I thought of the excesses and idiocies of the 90s, the acme being Mr. Van Winkle’s appearance, I threw up on it!

Then they're the worst kind of fools. If the Commies ever push the people to snap, it'll be all over for them and their hundred year drive to overthrow the Constitution.

DHS is the new American Gestapo. Without the uniforms, though.

Since when can a citizen not be on federal property? Are they denying citizens the right to assemble? The or the right to a redress of grievances?

I hope there were plenty of cameras taking pictures of the thugs.

Let’s hope the order came from the top.

You know it did. It was either with his expressed approval or his implied approval. Either way, before it was executed, he had to approve it.

Any historians here know how the country decided that the ARticles of Confederation were not working and we needed to start over?

A nation divided against itself cannot stand. Period. The only way we’re going to avert war is if we split the country in half, with the liberals getting half the country and Constitutionalists getting the other half. We can do that by secession and war, or we can do it by a Constitutional Convention of some kind to try to avert war.

I’m beginning to seriously think these are our only options to avoid war at this point. There’s no way that Constitutionalists can peacefully abide with anti-Constitutionalists for an extended period of time. Either we have a Constitution, or we don’t. The communist-Islamist alliance which wants to operate by thuggery needs to be confined to its own borders. Those who wish to live by the rule of law need their own country with its own borders, which they will protect. Let the thugs run their own country, not mine.

I would have said, what the hell are you doing at the IRS, you should be out there finding illegals and doing your G-Damned job...
