UPDATE: 'They Would Have Killed Us'; Violent BLM Mob Attacks Rand Paul, Others Outside of the White House

UPDATE: During an interview with Fox and Friends Friday morning, Senator Rand Paul described the "horrific scene," said they would have been killed or very seriously injured without the police and called for the coordinated, organized mob violence to stop.

"It was horrific....right as we got to the policeman, fortunately or I don't we would have survived, we got to the policeman and I don't think the policeman recognized me and as I came closer the crowd was shouting my name and it doubled to 60 and it double again to 120," Paul described. "I can't tell you how I'm not sure we would have made it. They were attempting to push the police over to get to me...you've seen the pictures of what they do to you. If the police are not there, if you defund the police, if we become Portland, if America becomes Portland, what's going to happen is people are going to be pummeled and kicked in the head and left senseless on the curb. That would have happened to us I promise you, had we not had the D.C. police to support us...Thank God for the police. Had we not gotten to the police I truly believe that the police saved our lives and we would not be here today or we would be in a hospital today if the police had not been there."

It takes courage to be a Republican.

Stand.

CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL. With Covid disappearing and in decline and the economy racing back the Law and Order theme will emerge as very influential in winning the Independent and squishy middle votes.

If the police weren’t there.

But you know what, also the police are the only thing protecting the rioters from normal Americans.

Most unfortunately for ordinary citizens, the police are NOT there to protect you or your property.
...the police are committed to their salary and benefits. They are under absolutely no legal obligation to defend life or property, or provide protection or safety for anyone. We know this from Castle Rock v. Gonzales and Warren v. D.C. They could wait until a murder has been fully and completely committed, while watching and eating doughnuts, and as long as they effect the arrest after the fact, most of them will have fully followed their department protocol.

The police are under the full control of the politicians, and the politicians are mostly Marxists. Thus, holding the police back redounds to the destruction of property, unsafe environment for residents, and even the loss of family wealth when entire businesses have been burned to the ground.

Americans need to arm up and defend themselves from these cretins as cops look the other way.

Texas is not Portland. Notice they don’t do this dumbsh1t in a free State. In Texas if one feels like their safety is in danger force is authorised and this always means deadly force as force in Texas is assumed to be deadly. Us Texans don’t have to wait to be hit or kicked or pushed down ask the moron formerly known as Garrett Foster how waking up to a vehicle brandishing a firearm worked out for him. The Army Sgt was never even detained let alone charged and that was in deep blue Austistain even.

The left has lost all sense of civilization. This is going to be so ugly after the election. And so many of us saw this coming last year.

The Democrats have gone full scorched earth. This will not go well for them.

As long as there are no consequences to the anarchists/nihilists/Democrats this will continue and grow. There needs to be serious physical casualties to these terrorists or it will only get worse.

It will be fugly. Win or lose the burners/looters/miscreants and panty fuh will go on a rampage. Either because they’ll be crushed they lost (more than likely) or elated because the won(not likely). And, target will have had time to restock flat screens.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s Attorney should use Pauls statement as part of his defense references..

Paul .... “I can’t tell you how I’m not sure we would have made it. They were attempting to .... get to me...you’ve seen the pictures of what they do to you. If the police are not there.... what’s going to happen is people are going to be pummeled and kicked in the head and left senseless on the curb.”

Without the police, who will outline the body with chalk?
