We only have the word of the photo journalist,, but he is stating that the aggressor is the driver:

“man in minivan hist protesters” which immediately sets the tone that the driver is the initial aggressor. There are some reports that the alleged hit protester actually jumped on the van. Now the normal reaction of the “protesters” is to surround the vehicle to which the man inside counters with a display of his firearm, making it look like he is escalating the situation that he “created.”

Notice that not only his gun is out but his cellphone is in his hand.

Fast forward to today.  We find out that the driver was detained and then released. Why? There was more to the story than The Narrative set by the “journalist” told us.

Leah K. Freeman, a spokesperson for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, says the 57-year-old driver approached the intersection of Maryland and Euclid in his SUV around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday and saw a large group of people protesting in the street.

Freeman says the man said he attempted to pass the group, the protesters started “striking, banging, and throwing objects at the vehicle, breaking the rear window.

Wait, how come the “journalist” missed this? Could it have been that did not fit The Narrative he wanted?

Now we have a breach which to me indicates that we are done being Mr. Nice Guy and other tactics come into effect. The photo of the gentleman with his gun and cell phone in hand make total sense under the timeline of the truth.

Journalistic Piranhas are on the loose trying to get a piece of the racial strife steer crossing the river. I wouldn’t be surprised if they relax their already flexible morals just to push things one way and get that exclusive.

Never forget: Journalists are in the News Business, not in the Truth Business.

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The Republicans winning the Senate is prompting an exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they’ll soon be required to hunt, pray, and live according to the Constitution.
Canadian border farmers say it’s not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, global warming activists, and “green” energy proponents crossing their fields at night.
“I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,” said Southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota . “The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn’t have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just keep coming.
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into electric cars and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves after the battery dies.
“A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions,” an Ontario border patrolman said. “I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though, and some kale chips.”
When liberals are caught, they’re sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and study the Constitution.
In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half- dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the ’50s. “If they can’t identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age,” an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, buying up all the Barbara Streisand c.d.’s, and renting all the Michael Moore movies. “I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can’t support them,” an Ottawa resident said. “How many art-history majors does one country need?”

About 2002 Clint Smith and I were talking about the future of teaching and gun schools. He predicted that there would be a large number of people who would begin to teach, basing their instruction on experiences from tours with the military and/or private contractors during the war. He said the quality of instruction would start to fall, and he was right.

Instructors began teaching military techniques for armed civilians training to defend themselves or family from a violent attack. Some instructors simply repeat and copy skills without understanding how – if at all – they apply to their student’s needs.

The same way the Military shouldn’t train by using the rules of engagement civilians have to adhere to, we cannot train only on how to do it the military way.  We may be able to pick one or two new things and apply them, but the mindset and rules of engagement are different.

If mission determines the gear, it makes all the sense in the world that the training should follow the same path.

Well yes, it is a shotgun hidden in a Super Soaker. Other than it came from the info came from a memo of the Indianapolis Police Department, there is nothing else.

Because I’d probably be arrested for inserting a poster in some school official’s rear end and setting it on fire:

Che Guevara as classroom icon? Really? Is there per chance a poster of Lavrentiy Beria we are not seeing in the photo? maybe a portrait Josef Mengele at the nurse’s office?

Remember this from class? How to safely go over an obstacle?

Thanks to Moms and Bloomberg, this simple act of teaching safety went from what is pictured above to the following:

Additionally, student-to-student transfers may also be exempt under the circumstances and for the reasons described above.   Where such transfers are not exempt, we believe that minimal changes to classroom procedures will avoid conflicts with I-594.   

Because nothing attracts more gangbangers and dangerous felons than a good Hunter Safety class.
