This is how the terrorists grow in numbers...the do nothing spineless governors allow this kind of OK crap and the citizens are the ones who suffer!!
Of course so that the UN can take over policing us and implement their communistic crap down our throats along with becoming their slaves and destroying our nation all of this at the same time! Say hello to Valenzuela!! Their strategy is becoming crystal clear now!!
Still mostly peaceful... right.
“Please start killing these vermin!!”
They’re waiting for us to start doing it so they can take it to the UN. Does this seem an awful lot like one of those ‘color’ revolutions the CIA loves so much?
BLM church on fire. that says it all. Satan’s work.
Old M-60A1 guy here. I assume that the 152 gun had a beehive round available, but not sure.
Tar&Feather would be ok with me.
Correct. 75 yards was essentially a muzzle blast.
“The rioters are the Democrat Party’s equivalent of the NAZI Storm Troopers and Hitler Youth.”
Wrong. They are the equivalent of the communists that the “storm troopers” put down.
Unfortunately, it's all about politics at the moment.
Far too many fence sitters, that Trump must win, who would jump ship if there was even a perception of a "heavy handed" law enforcement response from the federal level.
Once Trump wins re-election, and the (R)'s keep the Senate (at least), then Trump can respond and call this was it obviously is...an Insurrection.
Trump has the Authority. Its right there, enshrined in the Constitution followed by federal law.
Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions. It prohibits states from interfering with the federal government's exercise of its constitutional powers, and from assuming any functions that are exclusively entrusted to the federal government.
Regarding the federal government's constitutional powers...
U.S Constitution - Article 4, Section 4:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
10 U.S. Code CHAPTER 13INSURRECTION
10 U.S. Code §?252.Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
10 U.S. Code §?253.Interference with State and Federal law
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it(1)so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2)opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.
The president has the authority to safeguard the Constitutional rights of United States citizens within the territory of the United States where the state &/or local governments fail those United States citizens.
Past presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act 19 times, both with the request of the Governor of the affected state, and without their request. Note that every one of those 19 previous invocations of the act, were due to violence or disorder in a single city or single state/territory. President Trump invoking the act due to NATION WIDE violence, looting, arson and depravity of civil rights is certainly lawful and warranted.
List of invocations of Insurrection Act
Notice something about the incidents where the states did NOT ask for help, but the feds went in anyway? ALL having to do with race/race relations.
Prior to the 1807 Insurrection Act, President Washington used his federal authority and personally lead nearly 13,000 militia to put down a rebelion on the enactment of an excise tax.
In January 1791, President George Washington's Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton proposed a seemingly innocuous excise tax "upon spirits distilled within the United States, and for appropriating the same."1 What Congress failed to predict was the vehement rejection of this tax by Americans living on the frontier of Western Pennsylvania. By 1794, the Whiskey Rebellion threatened the stability of the nascent United States and forced President Washington to personally lead the United States militia westward to stop the rebels.

However, by 1794 the protests became violent. In July, nearly 400 whiskey rebels near Pittsburgh set fire to the home of John Neville, the regional tax collection supervisor. Left with little recourse and at the urgings of Secretary Hamilton, Washington organized a militia force of 12,950 men and led them towards Western Pennsylvania, warning locals "not to abet, aid, or comfort the Insurgents aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their peril.
The calling of the militia had the desired effect of essentially ending the Whiskey Rebellion. By the time the militia reached Pittsburgh, the rebels had dispersed and could not be found. The militia apprehended approximately 150 men and tried them for treason. A paucity of evidence and the inability to obtain witnesses hampered the trials. Two men, John Mitchell and Philip Weigel, were found guilty of treason, though both were pardoned by President Washington. By 1802, then President Thomas Jefferson repealed the excise tax on whiskey.
And just like that, Trump wins Wisconsin.
“”You can bet that the media/dems will call on the GOP to cancel their convention because of the riots”
Good point, hadn’t considered that, but would be par for the course for them.”
No need, the riots were in full force all through the Democrat convention. It’s the new norm for Democrat controlled states.
Works for me!
Torched the Unitarian Universalist parking lot too.
Would you stand idle with your pompous comfort and condemn our future generations to a Marxist hopelessness with no Churches allowed to exist??
Last night I ran across this quote from Paul Weyrich:
"I asked [Yegor] Gaidar (Acting Prime Minister of Russia) why it was that he thought free-market efforts in the Soviet Union were being trashed by American media when the reality was far different from what I was seeing. He replied with a stinging answer, one I never will forget. He said, 'Well, the Soviets spent millions of dollars infiltrating your media. Just because the Soviet Union went away doesn't mean these people have gone away. They are still there.' Of course, I knew this."We do still have a calculating enemy. I hold no malice, I want them dead and destroyed.
BLM/ANTIFA/FR cop haters have to agree to disagree with you. The cops should be able to read the bad guys minds and react perfectly 100% of the time. Just because you have a minor thing like a suspect with a firearm, a battle rifle in a contentious situation is no cause for concern or to draw your firearm and besides a cop getting shot, why according to them it’s their own fault, they should have been super humans and read the bad guys mind.
We are reaching a point where the cops are going to tell the bad and good citizens to F off and walk away, the BLM/ANTIFA/FR cop haters get their wish, see how that works out for everybody.
Excuse me Boney but there is no difference between the ultra left and ultra right agitator, so you're both correct.
