Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky home targeted in Supreme Court vacancy protest
Fox News ^ | 09.20.2020 | Dom Calicchio

Posted on 09/20/2020 3:26:32 AM PDT by USA Conservative

At least one protester was arrested Saturday after a group of about 100 people gathered outside the Kentucky home of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell.

The Senate majority leader is a key figure in determining whether a nominee appointed by President Trump will succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court before Election Day.

“Ruth Sent Us,” and “No Ethics No Shame,” read some of the signs carried by crowd members in Louisville, local FOX station WDRB-TV reported.

“Hey-hey, ho-ho, Mitch McConnell has got to go,” others chanted.

Reports were unclear on whether McConnell was at home in Kentucky or in Washington on Saturday.

In addition to the impending battle over the court vacancy, McConnell, 78 – a member of the Senate since 1985 -- also faces a reelection fight on Kentucky’s November ballot.

One protester was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and improper parking, after police determined she used a pharmacy parking lot without planning to patronize the store, the Courier Journal of Louisville reported.

After facing the towing of her vehicle, the woman went inside the store and bought a six-pack of beer but police arrested her anyway, the report said.

The arrest prompted other protesters to start chanting, and one member of the crowd kicked a glass door and damaged it, the newspaper reported.

Other protesters agreed to move vehicles that were blocking traffic on a nearby street, following a police request.

The Kentucky police seem to be doing a very good job cracking down on the ANTIFA BLM terrorists, unlike in Portland.

So apparently we have entered the age of terrorist level politics from the left. The message is loud and clear: do what we want, even if our side has lost elections, or else there will be violence.

That is what is going on here. The left wants to run things, and if the rest of us dare to do our own thing, "protests" which is just the current code word for riots, looting, arson... This isn't a response to a social or societal injustice (I'm not convinced any exist beyond highly localized unique situations), this is an attempt at armed insurrection. This is low key guerrilla warfare.

Leftist democrats use threats and intimidation tactics and use euphemisms like ‘protest’ to cover their attacks.

See my tag line.

No, they have not.

Louisville has responded to the mob by paying out a metric ton of Gibsmedat, in the hope they don't burn down the city.

You may want to read the OP again:

“One protester was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and improper parking, after police determined she used a pharmacy parking lot without planning to patronize the store, the Courier Journal of Louisville reported.

When did anything like that happen in Portland recently?

Is it wrong for me to want the President to hold a strategy meeting with the Republicans? Is DC really so blind in their ivory tower to not understand what is about to happen anyway?

That is the part of this whole slow moving event ...it is going to go hot no matter what. Everyday average Joe’s out here are starting to sense it coming. Even my neighbor, who is non-political news... is on edge. Her latest comments of watching CNN, her son was watching Fox and poking fun at the newscast, but then I shared an actual press conference with her...God Bless her ...she actually had a jaw dropping moment of ...he never said what they are reporting! She’s voting Trump.

But we had a long talk over the backyard fence and she is worried. I just told her to prepare for significant disruptions coming. My point here though is does the DC Leadership understand the ‘silent country’ knows we are in the battle of and for our Nation.

It is ironic that Trump can negotiate Peace accords while our own country is being shredded apart by hidden agents and traitors. I posted that all this rioting is meant as a form of voter intimidation at this point. It is not about a redress of grievances.

The landslide victory heading our way is going to be tarnished. Voting isn’t going to be enough, we are literally going to have to fight for it. New estimates of the Civil War say 750,000 people died or 2.5% of the population. If our only way forward is civil war and percentages being what they are...over 8 million people will die. It is a grim statistic of the Tree of Liberty. Although a pittance to the death of 42 million during Mao’s “3 years of difficulty and starvation.”

To Mitch McConnell: this is what we realize we’re facing. Your counterparts across the aisle might as well be enemies of the state. At least that is what Pelosi is already calling us...enemies. They have already declared the war has begun, we the American people already feel its slow approach and we’re hoping there are Freedom Leaders in the Halls of Government.

You may want to read the article in this 0P.
There is no way it's even close to Portland which has had continuing riots for going on to 120 straight days without the police doing much of anything about it. Arguably no city in America is like Portland.

.........I once picked up a slow moving turtle. He was about one foot wide across his back and I wanted to get him off this country road so he wouldn’t get run over.

Well, guess what, that docile/peaceful looking Turtle with about a 2” wide mouth immediately started wiggling and arching head back toward my hands trying to bite me! Uh,...the damn turtle got immediately dropped on his head!

Say what you will about “The Turtle” (McConnell), but he ain’t even slightly impressed with these punks outside his house and will bite them back if he can!

And Al Capone was imprisoned for tax evasion.

Democrat mayor and a Democrat governor, it’s a recipe for burning, looting, and mayhem.
