The violent left was at it again, doing what it does best… Rioting, smashing windows, blocking firemen from a torched building after their immigration protest yesterday in Santa Cruz. Many in the group were carrying makeshift torches as they marched. 15 businesses were victimized by this group. What started out as a dance rave ended with smashed windows and a burning coffee house.

We fight by singing “We shall Overcome” at tea parties and rubbing their liberal faces ( MSM ) in their own ineptness.
The SWAT team is there for Tea Parties and they don't come to an anarchist destructive binge for an HOUR???
The guy was pissed, and he should be! Where the H*** were the cops? The riot police? Then the cops act all tough and stuff?
Arm yourselves, people. NOBODY is looking out for you.
(a post from the San Cruz newspaper site)
These people are DEMANDING that we legitimize their ILLEGAL presence here by using ignorant RIOT tactics such as those used in places like Mexico, Nicaragua and El Slavador. Well, this isn’t the Third World and as Americans we should NOT allow themselves to be intimidated by the VIOLENT CULTURE of these illegal aliens in our midst to cave into their idiotic and UNLAWFUL demands. First of all, those in the crowds who are NOT U.S. citizens are also breaking more of our laws by gathering in OUR streets and protesting. No one other than U.S. Tax paying citizens are allowed to protest this government. They should all be arrested, detained and deported on that violation alone!!!! Obviously, The Department of Homeland Security, ICE and the local police departments are blatantly NOT doing their jobs by NOT enforcing this portion of OUR LAWS!!!! Residents of Santa Cruz should be outraged that this was allowed to happen in their community without the intervention of The Deparment of Homeland Security! Residents of Santa Cruz should be flooding Washington, DC with phone calls demanding that harsh punishments and penalties be taken against those that rioted in their community. If the people of Santa Cruz will not demand that they be treated with honor and respect in THEIR own home by these third world criminals, backed by the promise of OUR own government that their rights, property and safety as American citizens will be protected, then whose responsibility is it? People of Santa Cruz, don’t allow this incident to be swept under the rug! Business owners of Santa Cruz, demand that your tax dollars be put to work to apprehend, arrest and deport the perpetrators that destroyed your property and interupted the peacefulness of YOUR community...people who are here illegally...illegally demanding that WE legitimize their unlawful behaviors and accept them into our once safe and peaceful communities!!!
This is why third world countries have remained that way...because of the mentality we are seeing displayed here by these criminals who believe they have a right to breach the sovereignty of a nation such as ours and then demand that we welcome them in and give them carte blanche, all the perks of formal citizenship in the country they have literally broken into!!
This IS NOT IMMIGRATION, folks! THIS IS AN ALL OUT INVASION and attempt at occupation, using violence against OUR citizens to achieve their goals!!!
That bears repeating.
I wish I knew how. I do have a piece of advice, however: expose the dialectic. The hypocrisy of the Left and their justification of tactics they condemn in their opponents is well know. But what it little known is that the dialectic provides actual justification for this hypocrisy. This is not the usual hypocrisy that is merely part of human weakness. This is an intentional tactic. The entire world is divided between the good, progressive, "oppressed" Thesis and the evil, reactionary, oppressive Antithesis. To the dialectician, whether something is right or wrong literally depends on who does it. If the Thesis does it, it is good. If the Antithesis does it, it is bad.
Hegel was actually a "right winger" (European style) for whom the "end of history" was the nineteenth century Prussian state. However, Marx took this dialectic and ran with it, insisting that the "end of history" was in the revolutionary socialist future.
The Left's original Thesis was the working class. Despite their rhetoric (in which they still pretend that they represent "ordinary working people," believe it or not) they long since wrote actual working people off as a bunch of irredeemable Archie Bunkers. Today their various "oppressed" groups include Blacks (vis a vis whites), women (vis a vis men), Hispanics (vis a vis Anglos), children and the aged (vis a vis the middle aged), homosexuals (vis a vis heterosexuals), and even the animal/vegetable world vis a vis the human race.
Now note that none of this makes any sense. For example, "oppressed" Blacks are also very much a part of the "oppressive" human race. And there seems very little ideological glue to hold together Catholic Hispanics, Fundamentalist Blacks, and atheist homosexuals. But note that even though it shouldn't be, this "alliance of the oppressed" seems iron-clad. There is nary a peep of dissent or dissension from within it.
One thing the Left offers groups such as Blacks and Hispanics is that it will not fight against their religious beliefs if they will join it in fighting the religious beliefs of the hated Antithesis. This is an old tactic. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Left assured Irish Catholics that as an oppressed people, they were free to keep their (otherwise "reactionary") religious beliefs intact, while the religious beliefs of the hated English were mercilessly attacked. Similarly, in the early days of the American Indian Movement one of its leaders stated plainly that their religion was non-oppressive and that Marx's critique of religion as the opiate of the people did not apply to it.
If religious Blacks, Hispanics, moslems, and American Indians will join the Left in its attack on the religious beliefs of the hated "oppressors," they may keep their own religious beliefs intact. It's a win/win for them. I have often wondered how the radicalized Black and Hispanic clergy would act if militant "gays" invaded their churches and attacked them. But of course, as fellow members of the Grand Alliance of the Oppressed, they will never do this.
One final word. As you perhaps know, I am a Noachide rather than a chr*stian. One thing this means is that I reject the idea of two "gxds," a good one and an evil one engaged in struggle, with the evil "gxd" having temporarily taken control of the world. There is only One G-d, He is good, the Satan is merely one of His angels carrying out His orders, and ultimately it is G-d Himself Who is control of even the forces of evil, which He uses for His own purposes. This means that the forces of evil, which appear so unassailable, are actually a paper tiger. Their only power comes from the fact that everyone is so afraid of them. If our side would refuse to play their game, refuse their right to control the debate (ie, by declaring homosexuality perfectly all right while charging its opponents with "hatred"--itself a moralistic position), then it would collapse.
Push back! What right have they to condemn you for "homophobia" if you don't have the right to condemn them for homosexuality? If they won't allow you to label something immoral, then don't let them label anything immoral either!
Most of all pray to G-d. He Alone is in complete control. But I'm afraid it's going to get very very uncomfortable before it starts getting any better.
I'm sorry. This is all I know to tell you.
That's not true...I hear O'Reilly say he "looking out for the folks" ALL the time.../extreme flaming sarcasm...any videos of the anarchists trashing Asheville, NC over the weekend?
Oh yes. It’s also a Sanctuary City, and a Nuclear Free Zone.
We got it all here in the Granola capital of the world, fruits, nuts, and a lot of flakes.
Very good. Thanks!
and outgunned.
I didn't want to say that, but see my new tag line.
thanks...
The video showed two broken windows and some graffiti.
Not exactly what would be considered a big event.
Probably would not be a big event to those who did not own the 15 businesses that police said were damaged last night.
(LA Times is reporting tonight, 20 businesses and $100,000 for this non-event)
Close to 20 businesses were damaged after a May Day protest in downtown Santa Cruz turned violent, requiring police to call other agencies for help, authorities said.
Police spokesman Zach Friend said an estimated 250 people started marching through the city around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
It was a peaceful but “unpermitted and unsanctioned event,” he said, until some in the crowd started breaking windows and spraying paint on retail shops that line the downtown corridor.
A fire was started in a coffee shop entryway but was extinguished once police cleared the way for firefighters, Friend said.
Eighteen businesses were damaged, with the cost of repairs estimated at between $50,000 and $100,000. No injuries were reported.
