BREAKING: Rioters In Washington D.C. Tear Down Statue, Burn It As Police ‘Watching.’ Trump Responds.
The Daily Wire ^ | June 20th, 2020 | Ryan Saavedra

Rioters in Washington, D.C., tore down a statue on Friday night and set it on fire as law enforcement officials reportedly stood by and did nothing.

The rioters tore down a statue of Albert Pike, which was the only Confederate monument in the nation’s capital, Fox 5 reported.

Washington Post reporter Perry Stein documented the rioters’ destruction of property in a series of videos that she posted to Twitter and noted that “DC police are nearby watching.”

President Donald Trump responded: “The D.C. Police are not doing their job as they watch a statue be ripped down & burn. These people should be immediately arrested. A disgrace to our Country! @MayorBowserb”

The animals are deliberately attempting to provoke a violent reaction by the law enforcement authorities which they will then portray as a brutal infringement of their right to protest.

There are many electronic ways to disperse unruly, destructive crowds and they should be utilized after giving the thugs a warning.

Personally I like the idea of a black ops wherein teams of l/e troops locate and dispatch with extreme prejudice the members of these organizations and leave them where they fall.

I guess martial law and “all enemies foreign and domestic” were just theoretical concepts.

It’s the way team 0bama lackeys roll

Since December 27 elections, Kenya has been rocked by tribal clashes which have left at least 600 people dead after President Mwai Kibaki claimed victory and opposition leader Raila Odinga declared the vote had been rigged.

As Tucker said last night, the left took over the Country swiftly and all at once thru violence. That is the way it must be taken back it appears.

Has the mayor issues a blanket order for police to stand down when statues are desecrated?

Yet BLM and Antifa haven’t demanded the end of the Democrat Party, for bringing us Indian Removal, Slavery, Civil War, the KKK, Jim Crow, and state-sponsored segregation. It’s as if the radicals and protests are Democrat Party operations...

Everything looks like it is falling apart, right?

Wrong.

It is meant to look like that.

They want you to make emotion-driven moves that will help them win.

Here’s a longer discussion of this transparent info operation.https://t.co/h4sZbWjIct

I know it feels like we are losing right now.

We are not.

They want you mad.

Don’t let your emotions control you.

We will win - if we are woke. 9/— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) June 20, 2020

It would have been a different story if anybody damaged the Martin Luther King statue.

Instead of laying down the law, the law lays down.

Those types of images is why I arm up. It won’t be the government employees coming at us, it will be their surrogates that they whip into a frenzy while the police keep you from attacking them.

“Why are cops even there if they’re nothing but spectators?”

No doubt they were ordered to stand down.

“The left is praying for another Kent State. If they don’t get one soon enough I expect them to create their own by having one of their operatives do the shooting.”

Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Hate, self-righteousness, ignorance, and ideological zealotry are a very dangerous mix, and allow people to do anything and feel justified.

It isn’t troops or police or mayors we should be relying on. A large force of heavily armed patriots with some heavy equipment should move into Seattle - to the statue of Vladimir Lenin there - set up an armed (yet peaceful (unless violently attacked) perimeter, and very ceremoniously rip it down and crush into metallic junk. Film it all. Tag the area around the statue heavily with “Sic Semper Tyrannis” and then move out.

Two can play this game. You don’t win by electing office holder, you win by taking action against your enemy. They are well organized, funded and out in the streets. We aren’t going to defeat them with less than that.

"We aren’t going to defeat them with less than that"

You underestimate the power of good.

I'm not religious and don't believe in god. Though Jesus was exceptionally brilliant. Think about this statement. Why would Jesus say this? It's in the context of a false god (bad moral guidance) Think about the objective.

"bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well." Luke 6 28-29

I am religious and I do believe in Christ...we can play this game all day:

“Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.”
Luke 12:51

“From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.”
Luke 12:52

“ Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
Mathew 10:34

Good sitting on it’s fat ass will never defeat evil. I will take action over sloth every day of the week.
