I promise you I can stop such protests. Promise. Private mail me with contact info and I’ll tell you how. I must be able to talk to you on the phone. No exceptions.

Again I ask: “How much longer are we going to put up with violence against conservatives?”

I kind of have the feeling it's not going to be much longer. The majority of us are giving law enforcement a chance to work. Once we finally lose our patience, these f***s will face a sh*tstorm beyond their wildest nightmares.

Seems to me that the protest was a school sanctioned event and the school is therefore culpable to the attack.

Nothing says brave like beating up a teen girl!

I may put on a red MAGA hat to walk around to see what happens. I'd bet nothing.

Things will truly reach a point-of-no-return when "protest" crowds start to set residential neighborhoods on fire.
People tend to not get so personal when commercial / commerce districts are subjected to arson.
When emboldened thugs start going into quiet neighborhoods, that is perhaps when the gauntlet might be thrown down at otherwise peaceful folks.

Yep - the only ones that aren't totally aware that they are professional, bought and paid for, disrupters seems to be the side that's buying them.

Now this girl goes home to deal with this, and yet the school , and those who attacked her should be prosecuted, but alas it seems the rule of law for the left no longer goes. Does this mean now we have no laws either?

Come wintertime, spraying the "protesters" with a gentle mist of water should do the trick on most occasions in cooler climate areas.

Most of them can’t vote. WHY are they cutting class?

RevCom probably has a hand in this.

Why does everyone think this was a girl?

Clearly, it was stated the victim is a BOY. (And I heard that on radio, too.)

Noticed that, too. The cops need to find out where they came from.

There's a reason why children aren't allowed to vote. Their brains aren't fully formed. Example right there in the beating of a child for doing nothing but wearing a cap.

Were taxpayer dollars used to make those signs?
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

I would guess that the school Art Dept had something to do about it but they were given an impromptu POLICE ESCORT...

To join the ‘doom & gloomers’, how many cops were pulled to make sure Muffy & Buffy weren’t hit by a car, accosted by someone who felt his waiting through 3 red lights while 500 or so kids where blocking the cross walks WITH police protection.

In another comment someone suggested cutting Fed Funding — Wonder how long it would take for the schools and counties/cities involved to check the status of ALL the students and their receiving lunch/breakfast etc (I have no problem if the NEED is there BUT schools ‘encourage’ all to participate...more ‘needy’, more money) once the LOCAL tax dollars are again supporting the schools.

These idiots let this go and on Monday there were a handful, on Tues 2 handfuls, and the number will continue to grow until someone stops this crap...

Sort of reminiscent of the 60/70 when Kent State was the ‘final’ battleground or at least the winding down of all that BS...

That and once the draft was rescinded, the # of protestors dropped.....

Allowing the "protesters" more and more latitude will ultimately be their undoing.
In actuality, we would be helping them by clamping-down on this idiocy.
They want to peacefully march in circles in a park on a Saturday afternoon? Sure, have at it.
Attack innocents, barricade highways, set buildings aflame? Seriously?
That is when they will encounter a far stronger, far more motivated, and very righteous force.

Sort of. They actually look very simple print, 8x11, and a bit floppy (weak grade of paper).

They very well could have simply been made up on PowerPoint on the fly, and printed out in mass quantities, whether direct print, or color copy at Staples.

So, not totally buying the “professional signs” here.

Parents get a grip of your kids.

Parents need to get a grip on their schools. They've forgotten they own the schools, not the other way around. Get themselves to board meetings and run for the board. Get themselves into the schools by volunteering and bringing back PTAs. Talk to their kids to find out what's going on at school. Go to school functions and be present at practices. Be the squeaky wheel.

There would be about 2 times each year I'd have to take a few minutes of time to fix a moronic decision a school official made. Normally, it only took a couple of well placed phone calls and sit back with some popcorn. All those years and I only lost two battles. Imagine if a few other parents had given 5 minutes of their time.

What makes this story about the condoned walk out even richer is that the R governor changed the school year to begin after Labor Day and the education establishment is having a hissy fit because the kiddies need more school days!
