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."

“Most unfortunately for ordinary citizens, the police are NOT there to protect you or your property.”

Exactly. It’s a shame Rand made it all about him and his police escort.

We need to bring a halt to the riots. Why not determine that if there is a riot going on that it is illegal to wear a mask during a riot and immediately arrest them for participating in a riot and wearing a mask? My bet that would slow things down.

It’s still illegal to wear a mask in public.

This photo brings to mind the scene from Open Range where Kevin Costner shoots the bad guy right between the eyes.

It’s deju vu all over again. Remember in 2016 when Chicago Democrat mayor Emmanuel said he could not guarantee the safety of Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump or rally goers so the Trump rally had to be cancelled. Mobs attacked people and vehicles attempting to leave a Chicago parking garage and also blocked major highways.
Remember the 2016 Trump rally in San Jose California? Mobs attacked Trump supporters flinging water bottles, spitting on supporters and beating some. On orders from the Democrat Mayor the police stood down.
Remember when mobs of Democrat supporters blocked a highway making it difficult for Candidate Trump and his supporters to attend his rally? Mr.Trump had to walk across a highway to get to his own rally.
Remember when Sen. Kamala Harris and Democrat mobs attempted to shut down the Senate confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh? Remember the false charges against him? Remember when Kamala Harris questioned Mr.Kavanaugh fitness to serve as a Supreme Court judge because he belonged to the Catholic Knights of Columbus? I remember it well.

Nothing will stop them until we start dirt-napping every single one of them...

No Dirt-Nap...No Peace!
