LIKE CLOCKWORK: NeverTrump Protests Turned Violent On Several Occasions — Here’s The Breakdown

Paging Chris Wray -- the political right is ready for your apolgy

For all the rhetoric we hear from the left about the dangers of the political right… why is it THEIR side that alway seems to be the ones rioting?

There were a couple of instances of political violence or would-be political violence that either happened independently of the protests, or were caught when they were still in the threat stage. These were directed at politicians, and are a separate instance from the protests and/or riots.

There was a pretty big turnout — not surprisingly, it was well organized by the usual globalist billionaires who create such ‘grassroots’ events. Thanks to Data republican for her role in connecting the trail of breadcrumbs back their sources.

After the embarrassment of the riots in LA, most of them made a point of keeping it peaceful. But some of their jackboot militiamen are too unruly to allow any such flag truce to hold. They’re only happy when they’re angry. They have drunk deeply of the revolutionary spirit and they are desperate to break something.

Los Angeles kept the momentum going. No Kings is an odd way to protest for a city that has a sports team with that name, but do go on. Anyway, police fired tear gas at the crowd after giving a dispersal order.

Portland? They’ve been trying for days now to get the band back together from 2020 so they can get back to their important priorities of burning down federal buildings again.

One guy better hope the organizers have a good disability plan, because the rioting cost him an eye.

And in Salt Lake City? Antifa showed up there, too. They brandished a weapon, incited a panic, got an innocent bystander shot (and, sadly, killed), and hid among the crowd until a sharp-eyed bystander noticed the weapon and pointed him out to cops. He’s been arrested.

He belonged to a ‘By any means necessary’ group of radicals acceleration who want to provoke a revolution/civil war in which they believe some new socialist utopia will somehow rise out of the ashes.

What can I say? Nobody claimed he was smart.

As for those other two examples of violence? The Texas one, we’re still waiting for updates on who was involved, and who was being targeted.

As for the two murdered lawmakers from Minnesota?

After a manhunt, the suspect has been apprehended. He had a ‘hit list’ of federal lawmakers he wanted to take down. He was sophisticated in his approach, in that he apparently did an unusually good job of impersonating a cop.

People have been rushing to judgment that he is ‘right wing’ because the victims were Democrat. While that may yet turn out to be true, we’re not rushing to that judgment. The accused has a connection to Governor Tim Walz. The manifesto has not been made public — which evokes past experience of many that have been suppressed because critics on the right would use them exactly the same way the media likes to use manifestos they can plausibly link to even the most tangentially right-wing cause or language.

He had a stack of ‘No Kings’ flyers in his car. But again, that can be shoehored into either narrative, too.

If that’s not enough for you, there’s news footage of a guy who claims to be his lifelong buddy, who is distraught and complained between sobs that his friend’s legacy deserves better than to be that of some kind of a right-wing crazy killer.

Could he be putting on a show for the camera? Sure. But he could also be telling the truth. After all, she was the only Democrat to vote WITH the Republicans in the recent vote about stripping health care from illegal aliens.
