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

Posted on 03/27/2017 12:45:44 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

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.

Someone gave them one class to keep their fingers straight and off the trigger. Which means, they don’t really know what they are doing because of their stances.

Good to see our counterparts on the left exercising their right to bear arms.

Escalating Tensions: Anti-Trump Protestors Mobilize in Phoenix Brandishing Guns!

When the shooting starts, as it inevitably will, we need to make sure to go after the ones bankrolling the anarchy. That will end it fast.

Doesn’t matter to them which side behaves irresponsibly with guns as long as they can attack 2nd Amendment.

If someone shows up organized, identification hidden using masks, and armed, isn't that actionable by law enforcement?

And if presented with a masked, armed attacker, do you have clear, actionable right to active self-defense? If I am out with my kids and am threatened by a masked, armed attacker, I think self-defense applies. Do these idiots really want to test this?

And, as organized effort, when does this become terrorism and insurrection?

>> The New Left of the 60s and 70s was actually quite violent <<

From the Black Panthers to the Weather Underground many are still regarded as heroes by the left.

https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/brandished/

“Federal law defines brandished as, ‘with reference to a dangerous weapon (including a firearm) means that all or part of the weapon was displayed, or the presence of the weapon was otherwise made known to another person, in order to intimidate that person, regardless of whether the weapon was directly visible to that person’.”

There is a difference between carrying and brandishing. These snowflakes are merely bearing arms - a protected, God-given right, as they would be wise to remember. There is no indication of an intent to intimidate, not when anyone looking at armed snowflakes would be at risk of laughing so hard they could be injured.

“we could be closer to CW II than we think.”

its already started. but nobody is shooting yet.....but its coming and I don’t think the left is ready for what they will unleash on themselves.you cannot have a civil discussion with a democrat and haven’t been able to for 8 years. zero destroyed civility in our country. remember his comment “if they bring a knife, we bring a gun”. ..... .red

“LOL Ya think? Snowflakes with guns? I am sorry, I just gotta laugh!”

The bullet coming out of the gun has no idea a snowflake pulled the trigger. Neither does your chest. Or your head. Or your kneecap.

They may be snowflakes but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t kill a bunch of innocent people or cause chaos in a major city.

Well we are that one that champion the Second Amendment..

so we are all in for guns for self defence...

That’s our game
..its been our game for years and we’ve been very disciplined about it..

So I just remind the left it’s kind of stupid to play the other man’s (Our) game ..

The left trying to take on the right by threatening the right with guns?..

Well snowflake that like you picking a fight with a group of mixed martial arts All Stars. You better be pretty damn sure before you start something

"If someone shows up organized, identification hidden using mask . . . "

That reminds me of the shooting of a protestor during the Milo speech at the University of Washington a few weeks ago. I never heard what came of that. Was the shooter ever charged with anything? Was he pro- or anti-Milo, or just a bystander?

Gee that photo reminds me of when I was six or seven and used to go out and play “army”

Don’t these fools know that we on the right always set up at least two 50 cal sniper rifles in high hidden spots at every event ;)

Here's another view of the threat-signalers posing Image and video hosting by TinyPic and what they want. They look like ***holes.
