When Police Yell ‘Drop the Gun,’ Guess What Happens If You Don’t?

Posted on Comments

Say hello to Rasheed Moorman, who may have been the unluckiest criminal in America. Or maybe he was just stupid.

Notice my use of the past-tense verb “was.”

Rasheed’s final crime was not his first. A previous exercise in criminal stupidity nearly killed him when, in 2014, he and an accomplice attempted to rob a man who shot Rasheed twice. That crime landed Rasheed in prison for two years, and it’s unknown just how much crime he committed after getting out of prison, but it probably was not a small amount. At any rate, Rasheed Moorman’s career in criminal stupidity reached a predictable conclusion a few months ago:

On Monday, nearly five months after a Roanoke man was shot and killed by police, the Roanoke Police Department released bodycam footage of what happened.
On June 25, 2020, 26-year-old Rasheed Moorman, was shot by a Roanoke City Police Officer and later died.
Earlier this month, Commonwealth’s Attorney for the city of Roanoke Donald Caldwell announced neither officer involved in the shooting would face any criminal charges.
Along with releasing Officer Bourgeois’ bodycam footage, the police department provided more information Monday about the day that Moorman was shot.
On June 25, a plain-clothes detective was in the area of Ashton Heights Apartments on an unrelated police investigation, when he saw two men who fit the descriptions of suspects from an earlier shooting, according to the police department.
That detective then called for uniformed officers, who arrived and approached the two suspects, who then ran away.
While running after them, Bourgeois saw one man, who would later be identified as Moorman, had a handgun in his right hand and Bourgeois yelled, “drop the gun,” according to police.
As the chase continued, police-worn body cameras and security cameras at the apartment complex show Moorman turning and firing at least four shots at Bourgeois, according to Caldwell.
Two of his shots went into an apartment in which there were two people.
It was at this point that Bourgeois fired 10 shots at Moorman, three of which hit him.
As Office Smith arrived to help Bourgeois, Moorman then began firing at him and Smith returned fire, according to police.

What part of the sentence “drop the gun” is so hard to understand?




 

 

The ‘Sovereign Citizen’ Movement Is Dangerous, and Yet Often Hilarious

Posted on Comments

If you never heard of the “sovereign citizen” movement, these are a species of kook who are, in fact, the domestic terrorist movement that most concerns law enforcement officers, because cops have to deal with these idiots who imagine themselves exempt from the law.

The “sovereign citizen” claims to be in possession of “rights” that have no basis in law, as for example they routinely claim that they don’t need drivers licenses and don’t have to comply with orders from the police. Here I could digress to deliver a brief lecture on the origins of law — including laws requiring that motorists carry a license and provide it to police when asked — and the obvious fact that law has no meaning or purpose if the government has no means of enforcing the law. The police are sworn to uphold the law, and their actions are governed by the law, and if you don’t like being required to show your license to the cops when they ask for it, perhaps you should take this up with your state legislature. The “consent of the governed” being the ultimate foundation of law, you could conceivably elect people to the legislature who would say, “Licenses? We don’t need no licenses!” And then the roads would be full of lunatics driving any which way they want, because democracy!

The fact that every state requires licenses to drive can be interpreted as a loud and unanimous “HELL, NO” to such a proposition, but these “sovereign citizen” types don’t seem to get this point. Every time they get pulled over by the cops, they initiate a futile confrontation, lecturing the cop about how their “rights” are being violated, etc. One of their classic questions is, “Am I being detained?” The minute a cop hears this, he knows he’s probably dealing with a kook who will next demand that the officer call his supervisor. When the kook’s non-compliance leads to his arrest — because refusing to show your license is itself a crime — it sometimes requires three or four officers to wrestle the kook out of his car and put him in cuffs. Let’s play “Sovereign Citizen Bingo”:

 

Notice that in this case, the police were more interested in the male passenger than in the female driver. My guess — and it’s only a guess — is that the passenger had warrants for his arrest. This is a common situation in traffic stops that “go bad.” If you’re not doing anything wrong, why would you refuse to show the cops your ID? But if you’ve got warrants, or if you’ve got weed or a gun in the car, or if you’re violating the terms of your probation, that’s when you start causing trouble. In such cases, the “sovereign citizen” rant is just a convenient pretext for non-compliance, rather than an abstract philosophical discourse.

What we are dealing with, really, is the consequence of a failed education system. If public schools teach nothing else, shouldn’t they at least teach respect for the law? What is the point of taxpayers spending billions of dollars annually to fund public schools, if these schools cannot even teach kids the most basic duties of citizenship? But I digress . . .

The “sovereign citizen” movement is a menace to public safety, and symptomatic of profound problems in our society. At the same time, however, it is vastly entertaining to watch these geniuses get completely wrecked by cops, which is how these confrontations typically end:

 

Something else about this: Why do these people imagine that a police officer will be impressed with their lectures about their “rights”?

This is where sentimental notions of “equality” have led us, to a society in which people refuse to recognize superior authority, because they have not been taught anything about the nature of authority — why does a cop have the power to arrest people? — and because they don’t even recognize the concept of superiority. If everybody is equal (as they have been taught) then the police officer cannot possibly be superior to anyone else in terms of, for example, his knowledge of law. The police officer or sheriff’s deputy has gone through a process of selection and training. The sheriff or police chief, as the executive of the department, bears responsibility if his officers do not do follow proper legal procedures. While there are “bad apples” among cops, and even a good cop may occasionally make a mistake, there is no reason to imagine that the police officer who pulls you over for a traffic violation is in need of a lecture about your “rights,” based on some nonsense you saw on Facebook.

Kenosha: Joseph ‘JoJo’ Rosenbaum and the Problem of White Trash America

Posted on

Nearly three months ago, I wrote a post about Joseph “JoJo” Rosenbaum, the convicted child molester whose attack on Kyle Rittenhouse precipitated the shootings during the Kenosha riot that left Rosenbaum and another rioter dead, wounded a third rioter, and has Rittenhouse facing murder charges as a result. At that point — just three days after the incident — there was not much background information available. However, in October, while my mind was focused on the presidential campaign, the Washington Post published a very detailed report on who JoJo Rosenbaum was, a report that also included important background on the other dead rioter, Anthony Huber, and details of events preceding the shooting. The Post is to be commended for doing this work, which includes this information:

Joseph Rosenbaum — depressed, homeless and alone . . . had spent most of his adult life in prison for sexual conduct with children when he was 18 and struggled with bipolar disorder. That day, Aug. 25, Rosenbaum was discharged from a Milwaukee hospital following his second suicide attempt in as many months and dumped on the streets of Kenosha. . . .
Hours after he was released from the hospital, Rosenbaum stopped by a pharmacy in Kenosha to pick up medication for his bipolar disorder, only to discover that it had closed early because of the unrest.
He visited his fiancee, who was living in a cheap motel room, but she told him he couldn’t stay the night. She had pressed charges against him a month earlier after a fight in which he knocked her down and bloodied her mouth. If Rosenbaum violated his no-contact order, she warned, he could be sent back to jail. . . .
The weeks leading up to Rosenbaum’s death had been as chaotic as his life. Raised in Texas and Arizona, Rosenbaum met his father only twice and told his mother that he was molested by his alcoholic stepfather “on an almost daily basis,” according to court documents.
When he was 13 his mother was sent to prison for two years, and Rosenbaum was sent off to a group home, where he began using heroin and methamphetamine, according to court documents. By 18, he was in prison for sexual conduct with five preteen boys, the children of people who had taken him in after his mother told him to leave her house, according to a presentencing report. He spent most of the next 14 years behind bars.
Not long after he was released in 2016, he met a woman in Arizona and fathered a child, but the relationship didn’t last. When the woman fled to Kenosha, Rosenbaum chased her. . . .
[In December 2019] he and his new fiancee, whom he met in a Wisconsin hospital, were braving the winter in a tent they had pitched in an overgrown lot behind an abandoned department store. . . .
They spent their days at nearby fast-food restaurants where the staff sometimes gave them free meals. At night Rosenbaum, his fiancee and her cat huddled under piles of blankets. “We lived off of each other’s body heat,” she said.
In the spring, the police confiscated their tent, so they slept for a while behind dumpsters in town. Eventually, the county’s social services department helped them get a room at a cut-rate motel . . .
Aside from one supervised visit, he never saw the child for whom he had moved to Kenosha. In June, he attempted suicide by overdosing on pills. A month later, his fiancee confronted him after finding pornography on his phone. Rosenbaum body-slammed her, according to police, who took him to jail and then released him.
One week later, Rosenbaum called a suicide crisis line. Police found him vomiting and having convulsions outside a McDonald’s. He spent a few days in the hospital followed by a few more days in jail for violating the no-contact order with his former girlfriend. Then he was sent for more treatment to the mental hospital in Milwaukee.
Two hours before he was killed, Rosenbaum left his fiancee’s motel room and caught a bus for downtown, where a second night of protests had erupted.

JoJo was a product of the White Trash American Lifestyle — no dad, no family, no home, prison record, sexual perversion, domestic violence.

He “met his father only twice”? Can you even imagine that? It boggles my mind, almost as much as the claim that Rosenbaum was repeatedly molested as a boy by his “alcoholic stepfather.” You have to figure Rosenbaum’s mother was a loser to make such disastrous choices of male companions. The picture of Rosenbaum’s “chaotic” life is, alas, increasingly common with the breakdown of family life in America. There’s lots of riffraff out there, children of single moms, raised without the security of the kind of stable family life that Christopher Lasch called Haven in a Heartless World. You don’t have to be rich to give your kids that kind of security; you just have to keep your marriage together. But the sensibility that fosters stable marriages — the ability to recognize your own faults and errors, to forgive the faults of others, to refrain from cruelty and selfishness — has been wiped out by the storm of hedonism that has crashed through our culture. Too many people have lost their sense of self-respect and basic decency; they’ve become trash.

Sorry, worthless, lowdown, no-account white trash, sleeping behind a dumpster, then getting a cheap motel room with the help of the local welfare office, but JoJo couldn’t even keep that, because he beat up his girlfriend after she found porn on his phone. Priorities, you see — can’t be doing something useful like looking for a job, because you’re too busy downloading porn on your phone. A real menace to society, this JoJo character, yet I suppose many people will feel sympathy for him because he had a hard life, but whose fault is that? That is to say, there can be no personal responsibility in a culture that treats even convicted child rapists as helpless victims of society. This tale could be taught as a lesson to young people — don’t be white trash, kids — but our culture denies that people have it within their power to avoid the kinds of behavior that result in people living and dying the way JoJo Rosenbaum did.

The Washington Post has now produced a 22-minute video telling the story of what happened in Kenosha. You should watch it.




 

Crazy People Are Dangerous: Florida Kook Murdered by Deranged ‘QAnon Mom’

Posted on Comments

“Florida man with ‘sovereign citizen’ views shot to death by woman, police say,” is the headline in the Tampa Bay Times:

A Florida man who questioned government authority over individuals living in the U.S. through an online forum was fatally shot, allegedly by a woman who has espoused similar “sovereign citizen” views, police said Tuesday.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that Neely Petrie-Blanchard was arrested in Georgia one day after the killing of Christopher Hallett in his Ocala-area home. Witnesses to the shooting said Petrie-Blanchard accused Hallett of working with the government to deny her custody of her children.
Hallett, 50, ran an entity called E-Clause LLC that featured a Facebook page filled with documents, graphics and articles about whether governments have authority in many instances over individuals. This viewpoint is frequently summarized as the “sovereign citizen” movement.
Petrie-Blanchard, who turns 34 on Thursday, was being held without bail Tuesday in a jail in Lowndes County, Georgia. It was not clear if she had a lawyer to represent her.
Lowndes County Sheriff Ashley Paulk said Petrie-Blanchard, after her arrest, began questioning whether his office had authority to detain her.
“She’s one of these people who claim they’re not part of the United States — sovereign people,” Paulk said. “They don’t believe any of the laws apply to them. Obviously, she’s not leaving.”

There is more to this story — much, much more — including the fact that Hallett was a podcast partner with Kirk Pendergrass, who is not a lawyer but who presumes to teach law on Facebook. When he learned of Hallett’s death, Pendergrass did a memorial livestream on Facebook claiming Hallett was a victim of the “Deep State” and concluding with an appeal for people to send him money. Because that’s what the “sovereign citizen” movement actually is, a way for dimwit kooks to cash in by selling conspiracy theories to people even dumber than they are, and trust me, they’re plenty stupid. Now to continue the story:

In another twist, court records in Logan County, Kentucky, show Petrie-Blanchard was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on charges related to the abduction last March of her twin daughters from their grandmother’s home. Petrie-Blanchard only had permission for supervised visits.
When Kentucky authorities were searching for the two girls, they said Petrie-Blanchard was driving a Ford Escape with a license plate that read, “ECLAUSE,” according to an Amber Alert issued at the time.
The Kentucky records show Petrie-Blanchard is charged there with two counts of custodial interference and one count of being a persistent felony offender. She faces a Jan. 28 arraignment date.
Petrie-Blanchard was free on $10,000 bail in the Kentucky case when Hallett was killed. The child custody issue appears to have been behind the slaying of Hallett in Florida, investigators said in a probable cause affidavit.
Witnesses to the shooting said it occurred “due to her (Petrie-Blanchard) belief that the victim might have been working against her or working to assist the government, in keeping her children away from her.”

So, the “sovereign citizen” kook Hallett was allegedly trying to help this deluded woman, who was so paranoid she believed that he was part of the government conspiracy against her. Moral of the story: Live by the conspiracy theory, die by the conspiracy theory. But wait — there’s more!

Both Petrie-Blanchard and Hallett belonged to a clandestine network of QAnon believers and fringe legal theorists focused on child custody battles. As The Daily Beast reported in August, the group has incited mothers who have lost custody of their children to plot to kidnap them from relatives or foster homes, egging them on with fictitious QAnon tales about a nefarious “cabal” that teams up with child protective services to abuse children. . . .
Hallett, 50, had become a key part of the YouTube QAnon network, streaming his fake legal claims with his on-and-off business partner Kirk Pendergrass. While neither man is registered as a lawyer in their home states or appears to have any legitimate legal education, they promoted their services on QAnon YouTube shows to build a following among a community of desperate mothers who had lost their children, and solicited donations for their services.
Hallett’s legal services appear to have universally failed when they managed to reach the courts.

Imagine that — you’re getting legal advice from someone who is not a lawyer, and this results in you losing court cases. (Bill Schmalfeldt could not be reached for comment.) But the key here is that these “sovereign citizen” kooks had recognized non-custodial mothers as potential clients, which is a rather volatile combination. Think about what must be involved for a court to deprive a woman of custody of her own children. Such a woman must be seriously dangerous — a drug addict, perhaps, but maybe also mentally ill — and when you put her in contact with a bunch of “sovereign citizen” types, bad results are not surprising.

The sad thing is that custody battles are always bad for children and it’s not a conspiracy theory to say that children involved in such custody fights often do endure abusive treatment. Nobody would want their children dumped into the foster-care system, but that wasn’t the case with Petrie-Blanchard, whose own mother had custody of her kids. Petrie-Blanchard was a special kind of a crazy, the kind Hallett attracted:

Hallett’s reputation in the world of aggrieved QAnon mothers grew large enough that a fugitive on the run from the FBI traveled to his home in Ocala, Florida, to get his help on her custody case. Like Petrie-Blanchard, Colorado mother Cyndie Abcug had fallen under the sway of Hallett and his YouTube allies, convinced that QAnon believers could help win her son back from a foster home. According to a police report, Abcug was plotting an armed assault on the foster home with fellow armed QAnon supporters, convinced by QAnon claims that the foster parents were “pedophiles.”
Abcug’s teenage daughter allegedly tipped off the police to the plot. But Abcug fled the state ahead of her arrest and became a cross-country fugitive with help from QAnon supporters. She eventually made her way to Hallett, convinced that he could help her regain custody of her son. But Abcug eventually grew disillusioned with Hallett’s supposed legal abilities, according to one of her traveling companions, and was later arrested by the FBI in Montana while still on the run.
Petrie-Blanchard, by comparison, appears to have remained convinced that E-Clause could help her win back custody of her daughters. On her Facebook page, she even described herself as an “E-Clause agent.”
But their relationship appears to have turned fatal, allegedly fueled by Petrie-Blanchard’s imagining of a QAnon-style government conspiracy.
According to a police report, an unnamed female witness and her daughter were in Hallett’s house when the incident occurred on Sunday. When the witness heard what sounded like a firecracker go off in the kitchen, both she and her daughter investigated the noise. They saw Hallett standing with a “pained look on his face,” and Petrie-Blanchard standing behind him holding a pistol that appeared to have been fired and jammed, according to a witness statement.
“Oh shit, oh God, please, no,” Hallett said, according to the witness.
“You’re hurting my children, you bastard,” Petrie-Blanchard said, according to the witness’s daughter’s statement to police, before allegedly aiming the gun at the witness and her daughter.
As the witness and her daughter fled to the back of the house, they heard more shots fired into Hallett. When sheriff’s deputies investigating the gunshots arrived on the scene, they found Hallett “obviously deceased from numerous gunshot wounds,” and shell cases and live bullets scattered around the house.

File this one under “ironic justice.”



 

Dopehead Biker Dies of ‘White Privilege’ and Blunt-Force Trauma, But Mainly …

Posted on

. . . it was the blunt-force trauma:

A Berkeley County deputy will not face charges in connection with a fatal collision with a motorcycle that occurred in Summerville in April [2017].
A grand jury convened Thursday in Dorchester County and declined to indict for reckless homicide, according to Senior Assistant Solicitor Don Sorenson with the First Circuit Court.
“They found there was not enough evidence,” Sorenson said.
Robert Lee Clark Jr., 30, of Goose Creek, died after his Harley Davidson collided with Deputy James Vansant’s SUV on Main Street, near Richardson Avenue, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the lead investigative agency in the case. Berkeley County sheriff’s officials said its agency also conducted its own investigation.
Vansant has been on leave from the sheriff’s office since the April 19 crash.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said Vansant will remain on leave until the sheriff’s office completes its internal investigation.
He reiterated that Clark was driving “erratically” and failed to stop.
“It is important to realize that deputies have a dangerous job. Traffic stops and domestic violence investigations are among the most dangerous and unpredictable things that they do. It’s unfortunate that a loss of life occurred in this case and both families have been impacted by this incident,” Lewis said.
In the days after the incident, fellow members of the local motorcycle community gathered at Hutchinson Square to rally against the sheriff’s office and its pursuit policy.
The sheriff’s office was also quick to release dash cam footage of the chase and crash, which showed the deputy’s vehicle hit the motorcycle two different times. But sheriff’s officials said they believed Clark failed to shift properly, slowing the bike and causing the officer’s SUV to hit it. Vansant’s vehicle was traveling at more than 100 mph during parts of the chase.
The sheriff’s office said the chase started when Vansant observed the motorcycle traveling 66 mph in a 45 mph zone headed toward Crowfield Boulevard from Interstate 26. At the time Vansant was conducting radar near Ace Hardware on College Park Road, an incident report stated.
Despite lights and sirens, Clark failed to stop for the deputy and a 7-mile chase ensued. Dash cam footage showed the motorcyclist fluctuate in speed during the event. The motorcyclist also made “abrupt lane changes” at times, Vansant wrote in his report. A second deputy also joined the chase at Ridge Church Road.
The motorcyclist crashed when he swerved to avoid a third vehicle that had stopped for lights and sirens, and in trying to speed away, missed a gear, slowed down the bike and forced it to clip the front of Vansant’s vehicle, the sheriff’s office said. Clark and his bike crashed into the curb.

I found this story after watching video of the April 2017 pursuit:

 

Do “fellow members of the local motorcycle community” believe speed limits should not apply to them? Why? Because they’re white?

Honestly, that’s the only possible explanation why anyone would attempt to defend what Clark did. He was carrying nearly two ounces of marijuana when the deputy blue-lighted him and maybe — in his feeble dopehead brain — he thought he could get away, so he took off running for seven miles at speeds in excess of 100 mph. You watch enough police pursuit videos, and after a while you start hoping for the suspect to die, preferably in a spectacular crash, like when a Texas bank robber at the wheel of a Dodge Challenger “veered off the road, hit a power pole and went airborne into a tree.” Die, criminal, die!

 

The dead criminal in that case was black, and it would be racist of me not to applaud the death of a white criminal with equal enthusiasm.

We need to have a serious talk in this country about crime. Complaints about “mass incarceration” miss the point. People would not be incarcerated if they hadn’t broken the law, but they also wouldn’t be incarcerated if the cops had just killed them while they had the chance.

Maybe if we weren’t so sensitive about police using “excessive force,” there would be less crime. What if more Americans were like this grand jury in South Carolina that refused to indict the deputy for running the dopehead biker off the road? That is to say, what if we as a society stopped being so sympathetic toward criminals, and instead supported law enforcement as the authorized guardians of our safety?

Democrats like Joe Biden say law enforcement is part of “systemic racism” and what if we stipulate this, for the sake of argument? If enforcing the law is “white supremacy,” what does this say about situations where cops kill a white criminal? Will the SPLC say my lack of sympathy for white criminals is part of “white supremacy”?

Frankly, I would hesitate to deny such an accusation. Expecting people to conform to the rules of civilized society, and authorizing police to use force against those who don’t comply — if that’s what “white supremacy” means, then who wouldn’t be a “white supremacist”?

Americans have for too long permitted criminals, whatever their race, to impose on our sympathy. Too many movies have celebrated the outlaw as a heroic or romantic figure, which has resulted in a diminished respect not only for police, but for law-abiding citizens. White people are deeply implicated in this hero-worship of criminals. The Godfather won multiple Academy Awards for its celebration of gangster life. If it’s OK for white people to romanticize the Mafia, isn’t it racist for us to complain about black teenagers who think it’s cool to be gangbanging with the Crips?

If we don’t want our society to descend into anarchy, we must stop having sympathy for criminals and start supporting law enforcement, even if this means we must forfeit the “white privilege” that would otherwise permit us to do 100 mph on a Harley with two ounces of weed.

Let’s face it, everybody would like to do that. Toke up a big spliff, hop on your Harley and — ZOOM! — off you go at 100 mph.

Just don’t try that in Summerville, South Carolina. They’ll run you off the road, and you’ll get zero sympathy from me, dopehead loser.



 

Convicted Sex Offender Charged in Attack on Trump Supporters at D.C. Event

Posted on Comments

Saturday’s pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., was a gigantic success, and the attacks on Trump supporters after the rally gave further indication of who and what “Black Lives Matter” really represents:

A man caught on video sucker-punching a Trump supporter in Washington, D.C., this weekend is also a registered child sex offender.
“39-year-old Kenneth Wayne Deberry, of Southwest, DC, was arrested for Disorderly Conduct – Inciting Violence, Aggravated Assault and Felon in Possession of a Firearm after he was found to be in possession of a handgun,” DC Metro Police said in an announcement of arrests made following violence against Trump supporters after the “Million MAGA March.”
Deberry is also a registered sex offender who was convicted in 2008 of second-degree child sexual abuse against a person under 16 years of age in Washington, D.C. . . .
“The suspects were involved in a collaborative effort to incite violence during first amendment assemblies at the listed location. One of the suspects struck the victim rendering him unconscious. Other suspects assaulted the victim and took his property. Four suspects were apprehended at the scene by responding officers,” police said in a statement.

The same media that told us this summer’s riots were “mostly peaceful protests” have been lying about the Black Lives Matter movement since it began in 2014. It is not a movement against “systemic racism,” but a movement against law enforcement, period. Rather, it is an organization whose purpose is to promote terrorist violence against police, and also to incite anti-white racial hatred in the black community.

Certainly it is not a coincidence that the “activist” Kenneth DeBerry is a convicted sex offender. Recall that in Kenosha, it was convicted child rapist “JoJo” Rosenbaum who attacked Kyle Rittenhouse.

This is entirely logical. A “protest” movement against law enforcement will automatically attract criminals, perverts, and maniacs motivated by every warped and destructive impulse that otherwise might be restrained by law, custom and religion. “Systemic racism” is merely a propaganda slogan around which this terrorist movement is organized.



 

BLM/Antifa Attack Trump Supporters

Posted on Comments

Saturday’s massive pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., was entirely peaceful. When the march was over, however, Black Lives Matter/Antifa activists attacked the Trump supporters who made the mistake of staying downtown. Lana Shadwick at Breitbart reports:

Antifa and BLM wasted no time in accosting women, children, families, and the elderly as they walked down Washington, DC, streets after the Million MAGA March on Saturday. Protesters threw large fireworks and projectiles at restaurant-goers eating outside and flashed laser lights into hotel rooms.
DC Metropolitan Police blocked off BLM Plaza so Million MAGA March attendees could not go through. Trump supporters had to walk through a gauntlet of BLM, Antifa, and black bloc assailants in order to leave the area.
A black woman hauled off and sucker-punched a man carrying a Trump flag.
Rioters walked down the street and harassed an elderly couple while trying to rip a Trump flag out of their hands.
They threatened and harassed an elderly man walking down the street with a scooter. They pushed the scooter down and threw unidentified liquids at him.
They yelled, “Get the f**k out of here! You better run motherf**ker! You better run motherf**ker!”

“Unity.” Biden supporters are all about unity.

Rick Moran at PJMedia:

Pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators clashed after dark in Washington, D.C., Saturday night following a day-long march by MAGA supporters. After most of the MAGA marchers left the rally, antifa thugs descended on the remaining Trump supporters. An elderly couple with a Trump flag was assaulted and the Proud Boys began to hit back, mixing it up with antifa in the streets. . . .
An elderly couple, along with women and children, were threatened and harassed by antifa bullies who screamed at them as they were walking down the street. They followed them for half a block before a cop finally intervened.

Don’t expect any mainstream media to report this.



 

Dallas Rapper ‘Mo3’ Dies of Structural Oppression and Gunfire, But Mainly …

Posted on

Yeah, it was the gunshot wounds:

Dallas-based rapper Melvin Noble a.k.a. Mo3 has died after being shot by a suspect who chased him on foot on I-35E Wednesday, sources close to the investigation told CBS 11 News.
Police said the incident began as the victim was traveling on northbound I-35E at Clarendon Drive just before 12 p.m. A suspect got out of a vehicle armed with a gun and began approaching the victim’s vehicle, according to police. Police did not say if the vehicles had been stopped.
Police said the victim, who sources identified as 28-year-old Noble, also got out of his vehicle and began running southbound on the freeway. The suspect chased the victim and fired multiple rounds at him, striking the victim at least once, police said.

It was not Mr. Noble’s first encounter with gunfire:

The Dallas-based rapper claimed he’d survived a shooting last year. He was also arrested back in 2017 in connection with a Dallas-Fort Worth nightclub shooting that left one person dead.

We may speculate that he was killed in retaliation for some earlier beef, but maybe this is just further evidence of the overlap between the hiphop community and criminal gang violence. And also, of course, structural oppression. Joe Biden will fix that, I’m sure.

Too late for Mo3 and King Von. Probably all President Trump’s fault.
