[Debora] Juarez, Blackfeet, says she began receiving “really vile” messages July 10, after protesters shared her home address and contact information online.

“They put my personal cellphone number, my address and started putting pictures of my home and address on Twitter and Facebook, and then I started getting vicious calls,” Juarez said.

Protesters have showed up at her house by the dozens a few times, shining their car headlights into her windows at night and using a bullhorn to chant and hurl insults, she said. She stayed at a motel one night and warned family members to keep away.

People also spray-painted names such as “corporate bootlicker” and obscene messages on her street, and they continue to send her harassing and threatening texts.

And she is not a conservative either, just the opposite. But apparently she did not vote the way the “peaceful protesters” wanted and/or held heretic thoughts which invalidated her stay at the political reservation and she became a bad revolutionary “injun,” a traitor in need of punishment.

Sorry, but I could not care about your problem. You are from the same group that created these bastards and swore they could be controlled and would never fear being on the receiving end of their  revolutionary pressure tactics. Your side was warned that history showed otherwise, but you all chose to ignore it. Now you get to enjoy it.

“This is my life. This is home. This is not Coachella. This is not City Hall,” Juarez said. “Also, I’m not the toxic dumping ground where you need to come talk about your white privilege and how you need to talk about Black lives, because you sure as f—k don’t care about my life.”

You selfish woman! Your life can and will be sacrificed in the altar of the Revolution if needed to advance the fight to liberate the “oppressed” and you better like it. You will either be a teaching moment or a martyr, it is up to you which and enjoy it.

However, if you are an American, you get the “Papier, bitte!” treatment.

And, of course there is the collection of cash needed to keep funding the upkeep of BLM graffiti in front of Trump Plaza

The video was posted by Donovan Farley who I imagine is trying to say he is a writer and has done work for the publications he lists.

Now, a first time viewer, guided by the words of Mr. Farley would tend to agree about the aggressive and perhaps unnecessary conduct of the driver of the truck.  That is, of course if you do not get to see the whole video or at least one with all the relevant parts.

I cannot even apply the “Accurate but not True” standard. The bike driver came from one side, drove against the truck which stopped, then threw the bike in front of the truck to block passage. Then on foot, moved menacingly towards the driver’s side window, well away from the front of the truck. At that moment the truck driver floors the truck and provides a nice spark show for the crowd and those at home.

UPDATE: There is another video where is shows even better how the bike was the one doing the active contact plus somebody busted the windshield of the truck.

Once again, “Peaceful Protesters” are violently attacked by a White Supremacist Truck.

Why they call it a fence is beyond rational people’s understanding. At best it was a poor attempt of barricade.
It is just a word game: If they call it barricade or blockage, it has a negative connotation and makes them look bad. Calling it fence evokes a nice suburban image of a front garden with toddlers playing with puppies in a summer day.  White Supremacist in Evil Big pick up truck drives through a fence incites empathy for them (they think) while White Supremacist in Evil Big pick up truck drives through a barricade makes people wonder why was there a barricade to begin with and who put it there.

After that tweet, the author posted a couple of photos which are not the best thing that they could have done to bolster their call as “peaceful protesters”.

One of the complains they have been spouting is that the police and the Federal LEOs have been targeting their medics who do nothing else but provide first aid to those who are unjustly targeted by the munitions throw at them, by the Gestapo Law Enforcemen and horseshit like that.

I have found convenient that the “red cross” markings are done with appears to be electrical tape and not something more permanent. Two pulls of the roll and the bomb-thrower now becomes a peaceful healing man, right?

But when you actively become involved in the illegal protest by parking the alleged rescue vehicle identified with the red cross as part of a barricade to impede the peaceful traffic of civilians and rescue vehicles, you are no longer covered by the niceties of society and have become an active target of opportunity.

I have a bit of bad news for the Mayor: We don’t give a damn. Whatever fountain of kindness Americans had for Gotham after 9/11 it has been dry long ago and by now we are kinda sick of hearing about your self-inflicted problems. Time to grow a pair and solve your own shit.

And you would be laying off only 6.75% out of the bloated 350,000 of your city workers payroll. Now you can be edgy, raise taxes and hashtag it with something like #DefundNYC or #DefundRedTapeNYC or #ICantMayorForShit or something imaginative other than #BlameTrumpBecauseISuck

Roko is another reader who loves to see my blood pressure require a medicinal adjustment.

It’s come to this: Kindergarten Cop, a banal 1990 comedy-action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a police detective who masquerades as a teacher, has been canceled and likened to the explicitly racist silent film Birth of a Nation.

Kindergarten Cop was slated to kick off Portland’s Northwest Film Center’s Cinema Unbound Drive-in Theater on August 6 until critics led by local author Lois Leveen said the PG-13 movie promoted a “school-to-prison pipeline,” according to the Willamette Week.

Kindergarten Cop Is Canceled, Likened to Birth of a Nation

Oh yes, you read the headline right.

In an email to Willamette Week, Leveen likened the Schwarzenegger vehicle to Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind:

“It’s true Kindergarten Cop is only a movie. So are Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind, but we recognize films like those are not ‘good family fun.’…They are relics of how pop culture feeds racist assumptions. Because despite what the movie shows…in reality, schools don’t transform cops. Cops transform schools, and in an extremely detrimental way.”

Having seen both films, you need to have hit your daily limit of Xanax and boxed wine to come up with this comparison. If anything Kindergarten Cop is a small tribute to teachers within an action/humor movie.  But leave it to a Cancel Commissar  to come up with a slanted opinion formed possibly in the haze of chemical influence (because otherwise reasonable can’t see how) and kick the movie out of the festival.

In the meantime, people voting with their TV remotes have murdered two of  the wokest shows that graced the small screen this last season. You guys already know about Deputy being given the cancellation axe, but I just found out that the reboot of Party of Five (AKA Undocumented Alien Blues) has been also sent to the TV graveyard. At the end of the day, TV companies cannot justify wasting money on shows nobody watch.

Or you can blame it all in the country’s systemic racism or some other idiotic excuse.

Update: Eli over in Facebook made the following comment that needs to be taking in consideration:

I’m shocked that they didn’t “cancel” Kindergarten Cop simply because of the boy who said “Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.”.

Damn, he might be right

Yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz held a hearing on the threat Antifa and anarchist violence posed to this country.

Cruz noted that not one Democrat senator at the hearing condemned any of the violence carried out by Antifa, blaming the federal government and right win provocateurs.

I will cover this hearing more in the future.

One of the things that stood out to me was this bit of testimony:

.@HomelandKen says that out of 277 injuries to law enforcement officers from rioters, 113 have been eye injuries from lasers. pic.twitter.com/ez2MC0YmTr

— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) August 4, 2020

That is 40% of all officer injuries were laser eye injuries.

Laser eye injuries are permanent.  The laser burns the retina, causing partial to total vision loss.  A laser pointer of only a couple of hundred mW can cause permanent eye damage in fractions of a second.

Quite often this sort of quick exposure results in the victim having a scotoma, a spot of vision loss inside their normal field of vision.

These are debilitating injuries.  Victims may lose the ability to drive or do other tasks, and they may cost law enforcement officers their jobs.

This is a major problem for law enforcement.

There are two things that need to be done.

First, officers must immediately be issued laser safety glasses as part of their PPE.

(I recommend adding some to your kit at well.  These are the ones that I want because they are also ballistic rated.)

Second, lethal force must be authorized to combat blinding laser weapons.

I should remind you at this point that blinding laser weapons are prohibited on the battlefield by the 1995 Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons.

The general standard for the use of legal force is to defend against “death or grave bodily harm.”

I would absolutely consider permanent blindness by having your retinas burned with a 500 mW laser to be grave bodily harm.

The fortunate thing for LE is that lasers are line-of-sight weapons, so it’s easy to trace back to the source.

It needs to become SOP that when a bright green laser is shined in an officer’s face, overwatch puts a bullet through the rioter with the laser pointer.

Watch the threat of blinding laser weapons vanish as soon as Antifa learns that law enforcement doesn’t fuck around with people who try to blind them.
