Inauguration Protester: ‘We’re Not in Favor of the Peaceful Transition of Power’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 1/12/16 | Nick Bolger

A group set to protest the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is opposed to the peaceful transition of power, according to a video posted by the NTK Network on Thursday.

During what appeared to be a press conference with organizers of the protest, multiple panel members expressed their opposition to the peaceful transition of power.

One member of the audience began the discussion, asking, “How do you separate protesting the transfer of power versus protesting Donald Trump?”

One panel member confirmed the group was indeed protesting the peaceful transition of power.

“We do see ourselves as protesting the peaceful transition of power. We’re not in favor of the peaceful transition of power,” he said.

The protester quickly shifted his focus to attacking President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

“After the election, you saw this great upsurge in spontaneous anger in the streets and people protesting in cities all across the nation. You saw democratic luminaries from Obama to Hillary Clinton saying, ‘Tamp this down, please stop this; the peaceful transition of power is of the utmost importance to the core element of democracy,'” he said. “To me that says they value the continuity of the government over who runs the government, be it a fascist or not.”

A fellow panel member was quick to reiterate their opposition to a fundamental pillar of American democracy.

“We absolutely are opposed to the transition,” she said.

The protesters appeared to be organizers of the “Festival of Resistance: March Against Trump,” based on the fliers and signs behind them.

There are plans going on apparently with the likes of Bill Ayers, BLM, and all the other usual suspects to make violent protests which will make the 1968 Democratic Convention’s Yippies protest look like a walk in the park.

Just enforce the law. That is all you have to do. But that is something that hasn’t been done to these people since 1959. Why it hasn’t been done is beyond my power of comprehension.

If they knew how many rifles and rounds of ammunition we have. Let’s disregard handguns. If they knew the real number, they’d walk smaller than a mouse at a cat show. They have no idea the frayed strings they’re pulling at.

November the 8th was our peaceful revolution. Inauguration day is the official transfer of power. Only Banana Republics have to have violent revolutions. That is their mentality.

I don’t think that the people who voted for DJT are going to allow this, nor will the majority of the military, but if these fools want violence ......

All hat, no cattle.

Especially after they hose you down in 50 degree temperatures.

A bunch of antique muzzle loading cannon should be dredged up and munitions quickly put together, each round charged with old fashioned grapeshot. Using those to respond to the inevitable rioting would be symbolic as hell and poetic, tơo. Ađd hydrogen sulfide to render the effect truly exquisite.

thank go they will be easy to identify.

Specially if their opposition suggest just one alternative...

And we must outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

A rather suicidal goal...
The only thing that occurs to me is
Bring it on.

Someone needs to start writing Kent State in the dust, leaving flyers on their bicycles, playing that song in the background until one of them runs to their safe space and some dulled out hippie professor tells them the horror story.
Yes I know I am demented.

They are opposed to the peaceful transfer of power and then call Trump a fascist. The hypocrisy is lost on them.

“Two really big inside pockets that will each hold a full frame semi auto without printing.”

Shouldn’t the second pocket be purposed for more magazines? You can keep a backup IWB.

The Staten Island in me makes my posts a little rough around the edges sometimes.

Need to clean them up a little :)

A little chain shot added in would be a nice touch, too.

The appropriate answer to that statement would be “Well then get ready for a personal transition to ambient temperature”.
