I'm just kidding. I saw a segment from CNN in which the reporter actually asked their conservative guest not to use "the M-word.".
C'mon...that is kind of funny, don't you think? And rather sad. CNN so wants to defend mob behavior, that they try to bar use of the word on their show...whereas they used it for the tea Party all the time.
The Right is so evil, even their speech must be stopped. (don't use that word!)
The Left is so good, that even their Mob violence is just justified speech.
That's what they believe. You too?
I draw a distinction between them and protestors.
In fact I recall when the Tea Party was accused of being a mob, disrupting town hall events of libs.
Tough titty. Same on those protesting conservative lawmakers. It’s called the First Amendment. If it crosses into criminal mobism, arrest them. If not people have a right to protest loudly. At least that’s what my case law says including street preachers, pro life protesters, and lefties.
There are all kinds of radical mobs of various political persuasions. I suspect this is probably one of the dumber and smaller ones.
And they're a drop in the bucket, in terms of numbers, compared to Antifa.
These scenes put me in mind of what the British conservative Roger Scruton described as his "light bulb moment." He in university in the late sixties and campus radicals were protesting and rioting. He watched middle class/upper-middle class kids, allegedly fighting for the working class, hurl bottles at working class police officers, and it revolted him and forced him to pick a side, which he did. I would imagine what's happening now has the same effect here for many people and I doubt most choose the side of the folks in black masks.
I have prepared protocols for police response to them. I also don’t know anyone on either side of the aisle here that in any way supports them. They are for want of a better term, old news.
I also know that there is significant concern in LE about the growth of far right goups under Trump. Dunno for sure but I would guess that the Proud Boys likely didn’t even exist before our noble leader assumed power.
Something that some people have been pointing out since after the election. They produce people like Proud Boys.
Some of the intelligence on these groups is fascinating and frightening.
Antifa can generally be dealt with through a good tactical plan. The problem is some of these far left cities refuse to do it.
