US Park Police Corrects Record: Tear Gas Not Used in Lafayette Park

How’s the Second Amendment looking now, pal — with your city on fire and the Democrat politicians you voted for refusing to do anything about it?

So let me see if I understand your pious way of looking at the world…

You own us MAGAtards by continuing to vote for the same Democrats who have overseen decades of destruction of pretty much every major American city. Granted, it didn’t take De Blasio decades… Just a few years, but you get my drift.

You own Fox News by continuing to support far-left media outlets like CNNLOL that encourage the very riots and Antifa terrorists that are right now burning your neighborhood.

You own the police by supporting the Antifa and Black Lives Matter marauders who are right now burning and looting your neighborhood.

You own the NRA by refusing to own any kind of firearm.

Do I have that right?

Did I check off all the ways in which you are owning your political enemies? Did I miss any of your awesome ownage? Did I click all the boxes of all self-righteous posturing in that Ownage-o-rama of yours?

Well, look at you now…

You’ve spent five nights huddled in your apartment praying to Gaia that the terrorists you support (to own the Orange Bad Man, natch) don’t come-a-knockin’ because you got nothing to stop them — other than a nine-iron, which is awfully difficult to swing in that $2800 a month crackerbox you call an apartment.

Hey, you got exactly what you voted for, and you voted to be utterly defenseless as you cower in your apartment while the Democrats you vote for allow left-wing terrorists you champion to destroy your city, loot local businesses, and assault your neighbors.

Seriously, what did you think was going to happen as 1) your Democrats championed Antifa, while at the same time 2) your Democrats used a plague as an excuse to release violent criminals, while 3) your Democrats manipulated your bigotry towards Rural America to convince you to disarm yourself?

Your neighborhood is now filled with criminals, the Democrats you voted for hoodwinked you into not buying a firearm, and you’re surrounded by marauders with no way to protect yourself.

How’s that Right to Bear Arms looking now, Sunshine?

Because what’s happening right now is precisely why there is a Second Amendment. Even though — for all the reasons listed above — it’s your fault that law and order is non-existent in your city, our Founding Fathers still believed that, in the end, even a jackass like yourself enjoys the God-given right to self defense, especially when the government fails in its primary duty, which is to protect your life, your liberty, and your property…

And when you see these godless marauders swarm innocent people like something out of a zombie movie with no police in sight, you finally have an answer to that pompous question of yours: Why do the Guntards need AR-15s and magazines that hold all those bullets?

And do you want to know why else we Guntards need those AR-15s and those massive magazines that hold all that ammo? So that the left-wing terrorists you support know we have AR-15s and those magazines that hold all that ammo — which is why the left-wing terrorists you support don’t bother those of us out here in Rural America.

These riots are going to keep on keeping on, but they will keep on keeping on only in Democrat-run cities where the left-wing terrorists you support know everyone is owning the NRA by refusing to buy a firearm, by refusing to do fulfill their primary responsibility, which is to protect your home and family.

Eventually, all the stores will either be burnt out, looted out, or abandoned… And that will leave just you and your home to pillage, but at least you’ll be owning the NRA when your door’s kicked in.

This is blue on blue violence. This is the monsters you created turning on their creator. This is Democrats eating their own. This is not my problem.

I do hope you wake up before you get hurt.

But if you don’t, you can’t say no one warned you.

There is only one grocery store left, and the NG is guarding it, so the law-abiding citizens and their children can eat.

You left out some facts.

Protestors have been launching mortar fireworks and glass bottles at police for several nights now, in this town. Several officers have been injured.This has all been taking place just outside their police department headquarters. They’ve literally been defending their building from rioters and looters. Until last night, when the NG could step in to help keep the line while arrests were made, it has been like a war zone in the area.

This is very troubling. We are in bad shape when an event is misreported by the media. Remember the story about the tear gas and peaceful protesters? Let Mollie Hemingway take it from here:

Every single major media outlet falsely reported that Park Police were unprovoked when they used "tear gas" to clear the area. If any of that were true, it might mark the first time in history that cops without gas masks launched tear gas in an area that the president of the United States easily walked through minutes later.

After thousands of false tweets, print stories, and broadcast stories to the contrary, local journalist Neal Augenstein of WTOP reported that a Park Police source said "tear gas was never used — instead smoke canisters were deployed, which don't have an uncomfortable irritant in them."

Further, the source said the crowd was dispersed because of projectiles being thrown by the "peaceful protesters" at the Park Police and because "peaceful protesters" had climbed on top of a structure in Lafayette Park that had been burned the prior night.

Too good to check? Pick your headline: "Orange Man gases peaceful protesters!" "The Dictator runs over the kids showing their disdain for racist cops!" "Orange Man didn't serve in Vietnam but he knows about Agent Orange!"

It is appalling but will be largely forgotten.

My guess is that most Trump-supporters don't believe a word from the media anyway. In other words, they are skeptical and count to ten before buying anything they hear.

Yet despite media bias, I think Trump's 306 electoral votes have already cooked that into their 2020 calculation.

President Trump is immune to media bias at this point.

Even if the police did use tear gas, they did so lawfully. Did no one here learn when they were children that if you do something against the rules, there are consequences for your actions? Well these protestors had already been asked several times to back up/move to another area. They refused to do so. That is disobeying the law. There were consequences - whether it was smoke canisters or tear gas, it was done so lawfully.

More bullshiite leftist nonsense.

Trump isn't going to permit terrorists to burn down American cities. If mayors and governors don't have the cojones to deal with rioters, looters and terrorists in their cities, Trump will and that's exactly what he should do.

"Second, Trump was clear he views those engaged in the unrest and criminal acts in these riots as terrorists, an enemy. He said so, ostensibly as justification to deploy the U.S. military to apply federal force—his “personal” force—against the riots. Indeed, the secretary of defense used the military term “battlespace” to describe American cities."

One last point for the crash dummy intellects among us.

Investigative journalist group Project Veritas has released purported undercover footage of the secretive Rose City Antifa group in Portland, Oregon, alleging to show activists promoting violence and teaching combat techniques.

The footage was released on Thursday morning and reveals that Project Veritas, led by investigative journalist James O’Keefe, had infiltrated Rose City Antifa (RCA) through an unnamed individual who had taken undercover footage of the violent group’s ultra-secretive meetings.

In one of the clips, a man identified as Nicholas Cifuni states that RCA members needed to hide their weapons from the police saying, “don’t be that ******* guy with the ******* spike brass knuckles getting photos taken of you.”

“Practice things like an eye gouge. It takes very little pressure to injure someone’s eyes.”

“It’s not boxing, it’s not kickboxing, it’s like destroying your enemy.” #EXPOSEANTIFApic.twitter.com/tbLeuXucHx

“Police are going to be like, ‘perfect we can prosecute these ******* , look how violent they are,’ and not that we aren’t, but we need to ******* hide that **** ,” he says.

“Practice things like an eye gouge, it takes very little pressure to injure someone’s eyes,” the man continues. “It’s not boxing, it’s not kickboxing, it’s like destroying your enemy.”

The infiltrator — wearing a hoodie, ski mask, and sunglasses to protect his identity — described the process of becoming a member of Antifa, saying he was a “prospect” for the group. By his account, RCA enforced strict security measures, such as placing their phones in a neighboring bathroom with a fan that muffles sounds during meetings to prevent surveillance.

The source went on to show the vigorous security precautions deployed by the group upon their first meeting, remarking, “they were getting this tradecraft from someone else, someone with much more experience, someone who did this for a living.”

Project Veritas identified the alleged founder of Rose City Antifa as Caroline Victorin, who previously lived in Sweden with her Swedish husband.

Records uncovered by Breitbart News indicate the couple moved in 2017 following a 2015 Gofundme fundraiser that attempted to procure funds for a green card for Caroline’s husband.

Sweden has a large Antifa scene; a Swedish Defence Research Institute (FOI) report detailed the extent of the movement and tied the Swedish “anti-hate” group, the Expo Foundation along with the UK anti-hate group Hope not Hate to the Antifa anarchist scene.

Both groups have also received cash in the past from Hungarian-American left-wing billionaire George Soros through his Open Society Foundation.

Based in the city of Portland, RCA has become well-known as one of the most violent cells of Antifa in the United States and has been well-documented by journalist Andy Ngo. Ngo himself was brutally beaten by the group during a protest last year and suffered a brain bleed as a result.

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday plans to designate the violent leftist group Antifa as a terrorist organization. http://t.co/FhwBzQ22l9

In November of last year, Gage Halupowski pled guilty to second-degree assault with an expandable baton and was sentenced to six years in prison. The victim, Adam Kelly, suffered a concussion and requires 25 staples to his head following the vicious attack.

As the riots that began in Minneapolis continue to engulf the United States, many of which have been linked to Antifa militants by Attorney General Bill Barr, RCA has also been active in Portland in recent days.

They are allegedly behind a May 30 attack on a man carrying an American flag during the anti-police brutality protest shouting, “Black lives matter, faggot,” as they beat him.

We like to believe we’re living in unprecedented times, but we aren’t. The left is just rioting, looting, and burning like it’s 1968; and the Democrat Party is appeasing the rioters and going soft on crime like it’s 1968.

Trust me, there is nothing new under the sun, much less a gang of spoiled crybabies abusing a cause to justify their marauding, much less a Democrat Party believing they can harness that power to electoral victory, much less a corrupt media aiding and abetting it all.

No serious student of history will tell you we’re not watching a rerun.

And no serious student of history will tell you that, if past is prologue (and it always is), this will end well for Democrats....
