From Delaney Hall to ‘Freedom 250,’ lefty violence is what real insurrection looks like
NY Post ^ | 3 June 2026 | Glenn H Reynolds

Ten days and counting of anti-ICE riots outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall.

Threats made to the safety of performers booked for a national celebration of America’s 250th birthday.

We could be in for another long, hot summer of leftist violence.

Last week rocker Bret Michaels pulled out of the planned Freedom 250 State Fair in Washington, DC, citing “concerns” regarding “the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.”

An earlier Freedom 250 event was marred by vandalism, NBC News reported Tuesday, when saboteurs cut fuel lines and contaminated the National Mall.

As one social-media wag responded, “The fact that we are having a hard time throwing America a 250th birthday party because leftists are threatening to kill everyone involved is the most zeitgeist s–t I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Ever since President Donald Trump’s initial inauguration in 2017, leftist groups ranging from Antifa to Black Lives Matter to the Democratic Socialists of America to the ever-present ANSWER have been staging protests that very frequently turn violent.

Under federal law, codified at 18 USC 2331(5), such events could be deemed domestic terrorism.

That’s because they involve criminal acts “dangerous to human life” that “appear to be intended . . . to intimidate or coerce a civilian population,” to “influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion,” or to “affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction.”

Things like the Delaney Hall riots outside a New Jersey ICE facility, featuring not only violence but death threats against ICE agents, would seem to fit the bill.

So would threats against prospective performers at a national event.

“It is impossible to understand the politics of the left without grasping that it is all about deniable intimidation,” ....

A duly elected president — one who won a majority of both the electoral vote and the popular vote, as well as carrying every swing state — is trying to enforce valid federal laws widely supported by the public.

His political opponents are trying to use violence to stop it.

This article says "An earlier Freedom 250 event was marred by vandalism, NBC News reported Tuesday, when saboteurs cut fuel lines and contaminated the National Mall."

It's much worse than that. This article yesterday evening explains:

Vandals sabotage Trump’s Freedom 250 event on National Mall — contaminating underground water with fuel

A generator fuel line set up for temporary lights for a May 17 event was cut, causing fuel to seep into underground cisterns that collect rainwater under the Washington, DC, landmark, Freedom 250 spokeswoman Rachel Reisner told NBC News.

“Following the Freedom 250 team’s installation of temporary lighting on the National Mall, our equipment has been repeatedly targeted by vandals. The recent fuel leak was the direct result of that tampering,” she said.

I remember the Bicentennial events in 1976. There was still great national pride, even in the aftermath of the Vietnam war. But today is a lot different. These misfits and anarchists won’t let normal people celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. They want to ruin it for everybody.

I wish we had an AG Palmer who would round them all up.

Right. Liberals have given up on persuading voters about anything.

They are at the smash and grab stage of grasping power from those who are elected and those who represent authority of any kind. Voters can't see things their way so, they are doing an end run around the system that as worked these many years !

How this is a surprise to any one is beyond me!

Reminds me of the case at the gym where one guy physically assaulted me because I flipped the televisions to Fox News/Business while the man with melamin said “all people watch is ESPN”.

They are so protective of their gambling and activism they don’t want anyone who understand the whole picture to have a voice.

By definition these are terrorist acts.

The Democrats have seceded from the human race.

It's time for Trump to go full Pinochet.

Yes, it’s a very fascinating episode with direct parallels to today. The anarchists bombed the AG’s house! And seven others. But the national political fallout was bad and led to Warren Harding’s election and the creation of the ACLU. So we are STILL paying the price for the Palmer Raids.

The worst thing is Palmer’s law & order efforts largely fizzled and deportations were minimal.

Sound familiar?

Thanks to b.o. there is plenty of space at Guantanamo for chuck schumer and fellow cohorts.

Remove/disappear the upper echelon of lunatic leftists down to city council members.

You wanna hear something funny?

Lemme tell y’all what Rep. LaMonica McIver just said to Secretary Mullin during the hearing. Paraphrasing but you get the gist…

“You wanna talk about racism and everything… tell me why every person locked up in Delaney Hall is a foreigner?”
