Protesters take over Border Patrol museum, deface pictures of fallen agents
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/18/2019 | Anna Giaritelli

Dozens of demonstrators occupied and vandalized a privately owned U.S. Border Patrol museum near El Paso, Texas, over the weekend, according to the site's top official.

Museum director David Ham told the Washington Examiner his staff and guests worried for their safety Saturday when a group of about 50 rowdy protesters entered the facility, defaced property, and refused to leave the grounds.

"Say it loud, say it clear, Border Patrol kills!" group members standing inside and outside the facility yelled. Security cameras set up outside the private museum captured protesters pulling into the parking lot and putting on face masks before going inside around 2:15 p.m. local time.

"That was really intimidating to our staff, plus their kind of aggressive attitude," said the museum official, a 31-year veteran of the Border Patrol. The museum is a nonprofit and apolitical.

Ham, who was not at the museum at the time of the incident, said he got a call from an "upset" staff member.

"protesters pulling into the parking lot and putting on face masks before going inside" And gee, how big of them since we know that other military wings of the Democrats also wear masks to cover their faces.

If the Border Patrol and ICE are your enemies, you believe in open borders.

This is why I don’t want to live next door to an illegal alien.

Deport them all.

Where was the law? Thugs pull into your parking lot and put on masks, not a good sign of things to come. Lock the damn doors and call the cops next time. Meanwhile, likely these criminals had just finished a meeting of the El Paso County Democratic Party. Mainstream Democrats.

Every law enforcement agency in the country should have protocols in place that would call for massive and brute-force arrests of any mob of people hiding behind ski masks engaging in assaults upon people and/or public or private property.
Failure to do so is a clear invitation to gangs of thugs to commit crimes upon persons and property whenever they decide to do so. Failure of law enforcement to protect law-abiding citizens will eventually give rise to vigilante justice, and it won’t be pretty when it happens.

“Every law enforcement agency in the country should have protocols in place that would call for massive and brute-force arrests of... people hiding behind ski masks...”

YUP, sure would improve their behavior in future protests...

Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder.

Regardless, WTF did they think would happen?

Democrat, Maxine Waters told us thousands if not, millions of Americans would spend their Presidents Day holiday marching in the streets of the cities towns & states. All I have seen is small 25-20 malcontents, mostly illegal immigrants moping around like they are lost at sea in a few cities like San Francisco & Pittsburgh.

Maxine, Maxine....your words of direction have no power whatsoever, for they have fallen on deaf eyes and ears. Sadly for you and your Democrat Party cohorts, the vast majority of the American people support our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump in his determined quest to build the Southern Border Wall. So much for your total failure protest demonstrations...Maxine “The Democrat Party Failure” Waters. LMAO!!!
