Tampa Bay Times wishing for local Riots?

They start with a seemingly innocent question.

And they start with a couple of examples where “peaceful protesters” were merciless mowed down by cars driven by people with  apparent no social conscience. Climb in the hood of a vehicle to make him stop? Good protester. Drive away with the protester still attached ? Evil person.

And then this:

Under Florida law, drivers and pedestrians share the burden of staying out of each other’s way. But when pedestrians are protesters, Tampa Bay law enforcement has often faulted those on two feet.

The Tampa Police Department said both incidents remain under investigation. There have also been close calls in St. Petersburg, where police have started ticketing protesters. Both cities say they do not plan to change their approach to policing protesters. A St. Petersburg police spokeswoman said “we have not encountered incidents where motorists have been at fault.”

Ouch, a dose of common sense applied. But of course, them Eeeevil cops are gonna side with the drivers and not the righteous people that want cops defunded and psychopaths’ dealt with by recent graduates of Social Studies from the local community college.

But it is the next two paragraphs that set the final tone of the article”

But incidents of motorists driving into protesters have become increasingly common over the past five years, said a terrorism researcher who’s been tracking cases. He has recorded at least 75 incidents across the nation over the past two months.

What motivated drivers in these incidents — anger, confusion, fear — is unknown. But ramming protesters has emerged as a tactic of right-wing extremists, such as white supremacists, who have spread the perception that drivers have the right to run over demonstrators.

So what is the inferred conclusion?

 Anybody that runs past a riot on the streets and highways is a Right-Wing extremists and White supremacists supported by our local cops. Therefore, Tampa Bay Cops and others in the Sunshine State are White Supremacist Right-Wing Extremists. 

This is basically a call for rioting in the streets to denounce a KKK-Style police and have it defunded.

If you keep reading, you will finally meet the “terrorism” research made by one  Ari Weil, researcher at the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. And even though the TBT just said that ramming has emerged as a tactic for the right Wing, there is only one “proven” case mentioned:  Charlottesville.

And then he drops this comparison:

Weil explored the subject for his master’s thesis, finding that vehicle attacks became increasingly popular in the 2010s among western jihadists, Palestinian nationalists and, in the U.S. and Europe, the far right.

Muslim terrorist with a truck mowing civilians just living their lives is the same thing as Uncle Patrick trying to go home and being blocked by a mob cursing him and threatening with ending his life or at least fuck him up.

But I have to admit I am confused: I thought Muslim Terrorists were a protected political sub-species, yet the TBT is throwing them under the bus (pun intended) to make a case for a local violent riot?  so they are expendable People Of Color after all.

Long live the Revolution’s omelet!

More accurate headline “Rioters use IEDs against federal law enforcement in Portland, cause 6 injuries.” (Image Warning)

Part of the media narrative is the statement that the protesters are throwing fireworks at federal law enforcement.

They are trying to convey things like sparklers, mostly harmless.

I posted this Tweet earlier:

There were six injuries from fireworks.

Big fireworks are serious business.  A 2-inch mortar firework produces a very powerful blast.

This is a hole in a wall made by protesters with their IEDs.

Any blast powerful enough to punch a hole in plywood is powerful enough to cause severe injury to a body.

Here is a news interview with someone who was injured by a firework.

This is a video from USA Today of what happens from being too close to a mortar firework when it goes off.

This man blew his entire arm off, and lost part of his hearing and sight.

Have I made it clear that fireworks, especially big mortars, are dangerous?

They can and do blow off hands and arms and take out eyes.

Throwing them at law enforcement isn’t cute or harmless protesting.

These people are throwing IEDs that can maim and kill.

This should be treated the same as throwing a hand grenade at police and that it’s not is dangerous for law enforcement, the civilians who they will throw these at next, and an example of obscene mendacity by the media.

I guess I’m a bad American

What would fill me with joy is seeing these insurrectionists who are wounding police with IDEs and blinding lasers start catching live, lethal munitions.

Talk about a butthole puckering moment

A buddy sent me this:

Holy shit.

That’s…

That’s insane.

Do not drive through, near, or in the vicinity of protests.

This is getting more dangerous by the day.

And if you somehow find yourself in that kind of situation, you better be damn sure you pop that fucker right in the T-Zone so he does not have to ability to shoot you back.

Bad Weekend for “Peaceful Protesters” blocking roads

And we get news from Aurora, Colorado about a Jeep not stopping for a crowd blocking I-225 and somebody decided to let out a couple of shots ignoring The Four Rules and specifically Rule 4.

BE AWARE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEHIND IT.

The result? Two “peaceful protesters” shot.

Seen from above:

And by the side of the road:

And the police is looking for “a person of interest” regarding the shooting.

I am all for the self-thinning of the stupid herd.

Screw Garret Foster, I probably would have shot him too

I saw Miguel’s post while I was working on another post.  I decided to drop that one and write this one instead.

From KXAN Austin:

Community mourns Garrett Foster who was fatally shot during downtown Austin protest

Police confirmed Sunday evening that Foster was shot multiple times after a car turned into a group of demonstrators at 4th Street and Congress Avenue. The driver of that car told police they had fired a handgun at someone who approached their driver-side window and pointed an assault-type weapon at them. Demonstrators who were present that night, however, tell KXAN this driver “aggressively accelerated” into the crowd of people.

Less than a month ago I posted about protesters who shot a driver after they blocked in his car at an intersection in Provo, Utah.

The post I was working was about protesters shooting at a Jeep in Aurora, Colorado.

This was the scene in on I-225 in Aurora, Colorado, how protesters were handling traffic.

That is some scary shit.

A guy in a blue Jeep Wrangler didn’t stop for the protests and barreled on through.

Protesters shot at his Jeep.  You can hear the shots in the video.

https://twitter.com/SVNewsAlerts/status/1287252210154450950

A protester with an F-250 rammed the Jeep before it was shot at.

You can see the damage done to the Jeep.

Aerial video shows the Jeep going trough the protest but not swerving to hit protesters as protesters throw things at the Jeep.

The driver pulled over and was met by police (seen in above Tweet) but was not handcuffed.  Suggesting that the driver was not deliberately trying run over protests – as the protesters accuse – but was trying to get out of a threatening situation like the driver in Oklahoma I recently covered.

So right now, for a driver caught in a protest it is dangerous as hell.  These people are attacking cars, shooting at cars, threatening drivers.

So this guy in Austin, probably with all this on his mind, sees a protester coming towards him with an AK, possibly pointing it at him.

The driver was probably scared shitless and decided to drop Mr. OC before Mr. OC put a bunch of extra holes in his car.

I don’t care if Garret was a 2A guy.  He played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

These protests are not the time and place to open carry.  There is too much stupid shit going on and all you are going to do is make a target out of yourself.

Stay the fuck home before you get confused for the enemy and get ventilated.

Austin BLM shooting: Another Angle (UPDATE)

This is a video the still does not show the actual shooting, but you do not need to be  an expert to appreciate the moment.

The vehicle involved comes from the right of the screen and turns right suddenly facing the “peaceful protesters”. They swarm the car and one of the crowd has an AK slung across his chest?

I know, it is an AK-type

Stupid move.

UPDATE: Video of the deceased prior to the event.

Not what he expected.
