Beware: The Woke Mob Is Targeting You Next, The Suburbs And Small-Town America; The Big Cities Are Just The First Step
PJ Media ^ | 06/25/2020 | Jeff Reynolds

Woke mobs are coming for you if you are an elected official with conservative values. In cities and towns all across America, organized and well-funded protest groups have begun attacking city councilors, mayors, county commissioners, and members of school boards. It’s not just the big cities. Increasingly, small towns have faced similar harassment. The woke mob has targeted local elected officials for the sin of not being sufficiently woke. Its goal appears to be to intimidate conservatives from getting involved at any level of government. It also appears that the mob efforts are expanding faster than anyone realizes.

Here in Oregon, the small, rural, conservative-leaning towns of Estacada and Mollala have recently seen elected officials threatened with recall. In Oregon City, a medium-sized city south of Portland, a protest group has organized a recall against the mayor. The suburb of Gresham saw resignations from its mayor, city manager, and chief of police. And in Salem, the state’s capital, several school board members have been targeted for destruction.

This trend is growing and expanding and it appears to be the work of well-funded progressive groups on the local level with ties to large national non-profits pushing a radical agenda.

In Estacada, Mayor Sean Drinkwine was forced to apologize after he posted in a Facebook group, “I would not and have not condoned these BLM Vigils in our community. All city staff and I are working tirelessly to shut these Vigils down … Our number one concern is to keep our city safe and free from conflict.”

Disagreeing with the Marxist goals of BLM and opposing looting and violence will get you in trouble no matter how small your town is.

Dan Holladay, the Mayor of Oregon City, is now facing recall for attempting to cite, perhaps clumsily, accurate statistics

If these clowns show up in any Northwest Arizona towns they will be met by literally thousands of very well armed and very angry citizens groups. We had a dry run June 6th when BLM had a protest in two nearby cities here ... we had at least 4 different local militia groups and 1500 other “concerned” armed citizens show up to guard our town. Since then we have put together a first response communication system that will put out an alarm should Antifa show up. I heard one towns police chief tell one of the militia groups that if a citizen shoots a looter there will be no charges filed. THAT needs to happen across the country.

If Trump wins, his opponents will be even more virulently violent, out of a sense of rage and denied entitlement.

They will do it once.
Then the suburbs will be ready.

I had one of those ‘let me sell you some cleaning product’ people come around. Very nice black lady. I enjoyed our discussion, she was funny. After she left my gut told me - “My neighborhood is being scouted.”

“If Trump wins, he’ll have more...flexibility”

Counter-offensive may begin Nov. 4?

We need a swift and merciless decapitation strike against the left, even if we have to resort to extra-constitutional measures.

Great as he has been, is Trump ready to be our Franco or Pinochet?

As for the rioting “yutes,” I make no allowance for their age and inexperience. They’re old enough to know right from wrong. If many of them get shot while looting, I’ll shed not a tear.

If he loses, well, one side is better armed and trained than the other...

We had best not get cocky. The Leftists are better organized and far better funded than we are. We will need to catch up in both areas.

We need specific plans to attack and disable their funding sources and marginalize their public leaders. Their supporters must be ejected from office at every opportunity That should not require force-of-arms yet. If it does, then we are in hot civil war and the "rules" all change.

“The message here: if you are planning to create a local patrol group, do it quietly and not on a public platform.”

My neighbor has been sighting in his hunting rifles at the local range. He says he will not defend his home at the doorstep but at many blocks away.

He thinks that, by eliminating any potential problems at a distance, he will have a better chance of escaping hand to hand violence.

The suburbs will do nothing. Where do you think all these mouthy white women shouting at the cops come from? Rural America is different however.

This crap will cease when the air heads start running into people that believe in and practice 2nd Amendment rights to defend their homes.

“My neighbor has been sighting in his hunting rifles at the local range. He says he will not defend his home at the doorstep but at many blocks away.”

Gun grabbers always lie about their real intent (confiscation), especially when they say “all we want is an assault weapons ban; you can keep your pretty hunting guns”.

Any decent hunting rifle can take game out to 400 yds. That makes it a “medium range sniper weapon” and must be banned according to the Red fascists in our midst.

As for Antifa/BurnLootMurder thugs, their famous last words will sound like “Pussy, I ain’t afraid of your m****f****ing gun! You ain’t got the balls!!”

POW!
