‘Protester’ pummels senior citizen trying to protect Columbus statue before tables turn: ‘Now, you want the cops!?’
BizPac Review ^ | June 25, 2020 | Samantha Chang

A Latino “protester” broke a loudspeaker over the head of a senior citizen during a scuffle over the removal of a Christopher Columbus statue in Wooster Square Park in New Haven, Connecticut.

Police intervened to deescalate the situation after “protesters” clashed with members of the Italian-American Heritage Foundation, who were protesting the removal of the statue.

.
Ironically, a police officer eventually intervened to protect the Latino assailant from the angry crowd after he assaulted the senior citizen.

One man in the crowd yells at the attacker as he cowers behind the police officer: “Now you want the cops! NOW you want them, huh?”

And of course the police and “journalist” protect the creep that started it.

The police officer should had turn his back on the protester. Let the mob teach him a lesson.

We only have two cheeks, both have been slap many times, it is time fight violence with violence. If we see Antifa/BLM person strike a senior we must strike back 100x harder.

We have try listening, they will not. It is time to take a stand. We ain't going take it anymore.

Jesus didn’t “turn the other cheek”—neither should you

Sadly, I watched that Columbus statue pass by after being rigged to a flatbed - on its way to storage at the New Haven public works garage. It will be moved to the Knights of Columbus museum.

Yeah, I’m not letting some fat boy camera dude get in my way. He’d be on the ground, easy. That coward punk got lucky.

The cops and protesters are working together. I thought that was understood.

If you are an older white man, everyone is your enemy now.

I suspect these are Knights defending our namesake. There has been a lot of talk among Knights to defend Columbus, Jesus, Mary statues and our Churches. Enough is enough.

That’s kind of how I’m seeing it.

This is why I think there is going to be hell to pay no matter who wins in November - and it will be the last presidential election in the US.

Assuming even it happens...

We are going to have to start hiring our own police protection. Govt is not doing the job.

I think the police are working with the mob too. I’m not so upset about the “poor police”.
