Protest Critic Gets It Half Right
From Level:
History has a funny way of coming back around. Both the Black Panthers and these protestors were exercising their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble. Both were exercising their Second Amendment right to bear arms — except only the Panthers were doing so in a way that matched the issue being protested. The Michigan demonstrators were using their rifles, apparently, to stop a pandemic.
Liberty Over Safety
From The Truth About Guns:
The American character does not like authority. A nation born in rebellion, a country founded by exiles and a people possessed with a pioneer spirit do not respond well to dictates on their movements. It goes against everything that’s American.
Michigan Protests Continue
From The Truth About Guns:
Whitmer, who’s been campaigning to be Joe Biden’s vice presidential candidate, gained the coveted title as “Worst Governor in America†during the Wuhan flu pandemic the old fashioned way: she earned it.
With emergency orders ranging from a ban on motorized watercraft to a prohibition on the sale of infant and child car seats (both are apparently non-essential), the Wolverine State’s chief executive has ticked off plenty of everyday people who don’t normally concern themselves with politics.
Protests In Wisconsin
From IJR:
Thousands of protesters arrived at the Wisconsin State Capitol in the city of Madison on Friday to demand the governor lift the order and reopen businesses so they can get back to work.
Lockdown Rebellion
From The Wall Street Journal:
The do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do behavior of those imposing these rules isn’t boosting trust in authorities, either, whether it be Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot going out to get her hair done or New York Mayor Bill de Blasio being driven to his gym even as they were imploring everyone else to stay home. On Monday Mark Zuckerberg told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News that Facebook now classifies “a lot of the stuff†protesters are saying as “harmful misinformationâ€â€”and that Facebook will “take that down.â€
Police Revolting Against Tiny Tyrants
From The Federalist:
The Houston Police Officers’ Union declared Wednesday that its members would refrain from enforcing local County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s ruling deeming it mandatory for any individual over the age of 10 to wear a mask in public.
Woman Faces Fine Or 90 Days In Jail For Protesting
From Times of San Diego:
Naomi Israel, 27, on Wednesday publicly confirmed she was an organizer — and the woman facing penalties for the downtown protest that drew hundreds.
Mark Meuser, an attorney with The Dhillon Law Group, told Times of San Diego in a phone interview that his group — led by Republican activist Harmeet Dhillon — would represent Israel over the constitutional issues he said were being violated and fend off any criminal charges that might be filed against her.
Media Claims Protests Are “Fake”
From Kansas City Star:
The Lansing protest was organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition and Michigan Freedom Fund, which has links to the family of Education Secretary Besty DeVos. Common Cause and other liberal groups say Meckler and Citizens for Self-Governance have long been aligned with conservative groups tied to Charles and the late David Koch, but Meckler laughs at the notion his group receives Koch money.
“If you know anybody with the Kochs and can arrange for financing, I’d be happy to talk, but it never happens,†he said.
Facebook Banning Protest Events
From The Independent:
Facebook has said it will allow groups on its platform to organise protests against social distancing, so long as the protesters plan to abide by social distancing rules.
Protests have sprung up across the US in recent days in defiance of lockdown measures aimed at containing the spread of the coronavirus. Many of the demonstrations have been organised through Facebook groups, some of which have in excess of 70,000 members.
Protests In North Carolina
From Winston-Salem Journal:
Tuesday’s ReOpenNC protest was the second of its kind. The first, held last week, attracted a crowd of perhaps 100, a Raleigh city cop offered by way of an unofficial estimate.
This one grew exponentially, its message spread like a contagion via social media .
Similar protests and rallies, no doubt egged on by the same online voices, have attracted attention in such states as Michigan and Pennsylvania while others — Florida, Georgia and South Carolina,we’re looking at you — rush headlong to reopen.
Analysis of Antifa Threat
From Stratfor:
Anarchists, along with Marxists, Maoists and anarcho-syndicalists, are usually among the most visible, vocal and violent elements that participate in antifa protests. Their respective black, red, and red-and-black flags are a ubiquitous sight at antifa gatherings, and it is no coincidence that many participants wear clothing with the same colors. The anarchist Black Bloc contingent, for example, is usually conspicuous at protests due to its dress, flags and the violence it leaves in its wake. Â
Journalist Assaulted At Anti-Trump Protest
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 16/Nov/2016 16:41
From The Daily Mirror:
A photojournalist who spent years covering conflicts in the Middle East was brutally attacked while covering an anti-Trump protest in Oakland, California.
Kyle Ludowitz was left with a fractured cheekbone and abrasions when four men attacked him on Wednesday night as he took photos of protesters wreaking havoc across the city.
The 27-year-old was hospitalized and had both his cameras, which were worth $5,000, destroyed in the violent attack.
Muslim Protesters Should Go Live In A Muslim Country
Franklin Graham said that Muslims protesting the showing of American Sniper should go live in a Muslim country.
Can you believe that the University of Maryland canceled a screening of the movie American Sniper after Muslim students complained? This afternoon, I’m going to meet with wounded military veterans and their spouses who served this nation with honor–fighting to preserve our freedoms and many times shedding their own blood. Chris Kyle was an American hero. It’s brave soldiers like these that make all of the freedoms we enjoy possible. Shame on the University of Maryland for listening to these voices! If these Muslim students can’t support the military members who do their job to protect us, let them leave America and go to a Muslim country. God bless America and our heroes! SHARE this if you agree.
