Escalating Tensions: Anti-Trump Protestors Mobilize in Phoenix Brandishing Guns!
Western Free Press ^ | 03/26/2017 | Joseph Morgan

Stephen Lemons, of the Phoenix News Times, reported that about 40 or so assorted anarchists and members of various left wing groups gathered across the street from the state Capitol on Saturday in opposition to a pro-Trump rally openly armed to the proverbial teeth.

While it is not unusual that wanna-be para-military lefties should arrive at a pro-Trump rally with menacing faces, clenched fists, and nasty rhetoric, this is the first documented case that I’m aware of in the recent spate of protest, counter-protest movements that have swept this country, since the inauguration, that included a leftist group brandishing firearms.

There are those who might be tempted to make light of this, as it seems that in this case these gun-toting were simply taking themselves way to seriously.

If that’s a real photo (at the link), we could be closer to CW II than we think.

Agreed - The idea of transgendered, feminist, unitarian universalist metro-sexual paramilitaries is not to be believed.

I could imagine #BLM or immigrant gang members showing up with guns.

I wonder which it is?

“Snowflakes with guns? “

Think SDS, Weather Underground, FALN, Ernesto Guevara, Simon Bolivar, the “26th of July Movement”, the October Revolution.

Those guys were not (all) snowflakes.

Some of the first, some of the last and/or MecHA types, it didn’t look like many of your middle group. It is AZ, after all.

And “Brandishing” seems a strong term. I’ve always thought that word misused unless the firearm was being deployed/waved about in a threatening manner. This was more a group bearing of arms by Leftists, from what I’ve seen.

That said, it is interesting seeing Leftists being all hypocritical and cheering on the exercise of the RKBA.

Hopefully these clowns will eat buckshot and decrease the amount of Dummycrap voters in the future.

WOW...I am surprised...I was thinking that Liberals actually peed in their under britches at the mere sight of a firearm.

If we look close we can probable see where they took the red flash suppressor off.... PLUS a couple of these guys could shed a few pounds...after all, those poor starving children back in the Middle East....

That is indeed a real photo of the event.

We are much closer to hot civil war than most people want to believe.

Notice the team has assigned medics, and photographers as well as fighters. They have given considerable thought to what they are doing.

This is a serious threat display.

It sure would be nice to see articles written by people who know how to write in proper English and know how to proofread their writings. A lost art I suppose.

"And “Brandishing” seems a strong term."

To me, "brandishing" is just a big word for "displaying," and that is what they are doing.

I see nothing in the pic but a verrrrry nice “target rich environment”.
In a fight with certain “conservative” groups, they would cease to exist and be assuming ambient air temperature within about 5 seconds.

Closer ever closer comes the Social War. Over the weekend a pro-Trump group and a anti-Trump group got into a fist fight. Get ready!

The New Left of the 60s and 70s was actually quite violent. Yes, we now have some snowflakes, but leftism and violence are hardly strangers.

Don’t laugh too hard. You wont be able to hear them when they sneak up behind you. The Black Panthers murdered a lot of policemen.

Anti-Trump Protestors Mobilize in Phoenix Brandishing Guns!


I hope they know that law enforcement will be very put out if they remove the orange barrel tips.
