The organizer of protests planned at Google offices around the country says he’s trying to decide whether to cancel the rallies due to concerns over possible violence.

Organizer Jack Posobiec tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Tuesday that he’s very concerned about threats of violence at the scheduled events Saturday in Pittsburgh and eight other locations where Google has offices.

They are in reaction to Google’s firing of a software engineer who questioned company diversity efforts and argued that biological gender differences helped explain why women are underrepresented at the company. …

Sad and tragic if we abandon the streets to the thugs.

Convenient excuse as he’d likely get only a few people at each location, if any. No one is going to get violent oer this. Besides, and most importantly, this is middle of August vacations! No one is really paying much attention to this particular news—not protest worthy anyway. Google will be litigated in court of public opinion, in courts, and maybe in Congress.

I say allow for a two week cooling off period, and do the rallies near Labor Day. Only do so if the police will be permitted to actively assist in crowd control. There should also be a line checking for weaponry. This is how it is now.
One has to expect and be prepared for violent confrontation during anything remotely conservative.
Also, hire a few people to hand back from a short distance and take cell films of any confrontation.
Like the Boy Scouts used to say “Be Prepared!”

Disastrous, actually.

The police have been over-politicized too. They just back off at an order from a Democratic mayor. Michael Signer and Bill Bell have a lot to answer for.

Yeah, just like the synagogue not being built.

Silence the opposition with the threat of violence.

I have no use for Posobiec, Cernovich, Spencer or any of these others we never heard BOO from before 2016. Who the hell are they? Nobody. And I don’t trust them for one second.

All these events are in places where the Mayor and Governor are Rats. The police leadership answer to them. The police do not stop BLM or Antifa. The whole point of these street exercises is to show the world that the Rats still run the US even if Trump is in the White House. The whole point of Antifa and BLM is to stiffen the resolve of Schumer and Pelosi. The BSM gets it. That is why anyone who tries to stand up to them is branded Racists. The Race Card, works every time.

Not if my gas taxes pay for those streets.

Those that quail before “Antifa” may just be of them.

Yeah. I never heard of them either. But I have heard of BLM and Antifa and I notice that almost nothing is being done to stop them except by these few folks who are “Nazis” I am told by the BSM. So in spite of the fact that I have learned the BSM are consistent liars and propagandists on this matter I am going to trust them. Which is comfy because I wouldn’t want to have to get out of my BarcaLounger. I am sure any day now freepers are gonna realize the threat BLM and Antifa represents and when that day comes we are gonna have this all figured out and we are going to make sure no White Nationalists or dope smoking libertarians sneak into our ranks because there are so many of us that we can do this. We don’t need any help and certainly not from anyone who might make it possible for the BSM to call us Nazis. Or White Nationalists. Oh, yeah. We Constitutional Conservatives have so many millions of Hispanic, Black, and Jewish folks in our ranks we don’t need any of those nasty militia types helping out. The BSM tells me they are all White Nationalists anyway (at least the half that aren’t FBI.)

Everybody seems so convinced that the DNC is really behind these alt right guys. I am starting to wonder just how many of these folks on this board aren’t DNC shills posting “I don’t want to have anything to do with a group that may be 3% or 5% or 20% White Nationalists.” Good Lord. It is like 1940s Jews claiming they don’t want to have nothing to do with these damn Nazis. Guess what, they didn’t want to have nothing to do with the Jews, either. Wake the hell up. BLM and Antifa don’t want nothing to do with us. All we want is to lead our lives and be left alone (and maybe play a few video games). But I got a pretty terrible feeling if we don’t put a serious and quick end to these BLM and Antifa groups we may still be saying we don’t want to have nothing to do with them when it is far too late.
