The Meme Machine Cranks Up
BY Herschel Smith
What is the justice in standing up for an armed man wanted for a felony sex crime & domestic violence charges who also brawled with police responding to a woman’s 911 call? Question for both you & @trailblazers. https://t.co/G9vIi7AYSl

Andy also points out “the police scanner audio documents how a woman called 911 for help when Blake came to her home & allegedly stole her property. That’s not breaking up a fight, as we were told.”
What we’ve been told is always a function of who’s doing the telling. The narrative must match the views of the ones who control the narrative.
See the problem here?
“Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a frequent critic of President Trump’s, is endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden along with several other former Republican lawmakers,” The Hill reported Monday. “The list includes other former members of Congress who had previously announced their support for Biden, including former Sens. John Warner (R-Va.) and Gordon Humphrey (R-N.H.), who is now an independent, and Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). Other former lawmakers on the list include former Reps. Steve Bartlett (R-Texas), Tom Coleman (R-Mo.), Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), Chris Shays (R-Conn.), Alan Steelman (R-Texas) and Jim Walsh (R-N.Y.).”
The move follows other high-profile “Republican” betrayals timed to help the Democrats take it all in November …
Many of them certified gun rights supporters by the NRA, whose officials too are hypocrites.
Look folks, forget about Trump for a second. These people have intentionally, knowingly, adroitly undermined God-given rights the entire time they have been in power, and would turn the FedGov over to men and women who would do worse than any previous administration.
Payback must be had one day.
Warning: This video is graphic for weak of stomach folks.
EXTREMELY GRAPHIC: @Julio_Rosas11 recorded up-close footage of one of the men who tried to attack a man who was on the ground but armed with a semi-auto rifle. Half of his upper arm was blown off. #KenoshaRiots pic.twitter.com/81bFbBl7Dw

I’m an analyst. Permit me some free-form analysis, very early, in which the details are not exactly nailed down.
First, I take this to be a shot from a long gun. Pistol rounds don’t cause that much damage. It could be from an AK pattern rifle, but I doubt it. I recall a Navy Corpsman in my son’s Battalion who told me his story (confirmed by others in the Battalion) where he took a 7.62×39 round to the thigh, it ricocheted up his thigh and exited near his buttocks. Clean entry wound, clean exit wound. He then tended to other wounded in the gun battle before attending his own wound. 7.62×39 rounds don’t explode like this upon impact. It’s likely to be a 5.56×45 round. This is what a little 5.56mm pill going 3000 FPS does. He now has half an arm. He will never have a complete arm again. His bicep is now non-existent and his elbow likely shattered. In fact, it was probably a glancing shot, not well aimed.
Second, I don’t know anything about the details, but apparently the shooter (who may have been defending himself) hasn’t been identified. Someone (perhaps their Marxist professors) has convinced the black bloc and BLM that after buying hundreds of millions of guns and trillions of rounds of ammunition, Americans will sit idle and be overrun. This is dangerous teaching. It will get people killed.
Third, this was bound to happen. It only escalates from here. The sides don’t sit back, ponder what’s happened, and then suddenly decide that this might have been a misadventure and badly conceived project. Anger builds. Memories are made. This all redounds to increasing levels of violence. Once this spigot has been opened, it’s extremely difficult to close it.
Fourth, I interviewed and cataloged the experiences of my son’s squad (and mostly his fire team) when they returned from Iraq over several days. This is exactly how it went down. Shots fired. No one knows who did it or where it came from, car tags were removed, shooters were wearing hoods, and shooters were rarely identified unless killed.
It’s not like in Afghanistan where men wearing pajamas sit in the hills for three days and engaged long distance fire in a dedicated and disciplined manner. This is urban / suburban warfare. The darkness rules. There aren’t enough police to stop the violence, much less conduct formal investigations. There were some protracted gun battles in which my son engaged, but the bulk of the fighting was shoot from cover or concealment, move, maneuver, disappear to do it again later.
I’ll say it again. These reports are eerily similar to the ones I received from my son’s fire team. If this progresses, think in terms of Iraq × 100 (or worse). As always, this isn’t an encouragement to participate, merely for educational and analysis purposes. I am an analyst, and analysis you receive here is better than anything you’ll get from the CIA or DHS.

GRAPHIC: I missed this in the video. The man who had his arm shot ran in with a pistol. He was still holding it for some time after he was hit: pic.twitter.com/dHx37kaDTk

[I have just begun to include these posts in the category “War & Warfare,” previously opting to place them in “Politics.”]
Black Lives Matter protesters demanded restaurant patrons to raise their fists against “white supremacy” in the nation’s capital.
In an outdoor venue, BLM protestors surrounded a masked woman who appeared to be enjoying a peaceful meal alone.
One man crouched down to eye-level, shaking his head as he stated something in her face.
As they leaned in, the sheer numbers forced her to recline in her seat, shrinking away from the pouncing mob. Her diplomatic voice was drowned out by chants of “No Justice! No Peace!”
Here are more protestors on the streets of DC demanding a woman raise her fist against “white supremacy.” They are actually proud of this shaming and bullying. They promote it as a job well done 😂 pic.twitter.com/mJvL4bEx97

There are a number of problems with this. First of all, don’t be in crowds, and especially in D.C. where God-given gun rights are not observed.
Second, non-lethal weapons could have been used, such as OC spray, but without the benefit of a lethal weapon, the crowd would likely have turned deadly.
Third, as this group of ne’er-do-wells expands into the suburbs, specifically not suburbs like D.C., these encounters will likely redound to very real trouble for BLM.
For example, doing this to a patron in Gastonia, Pickens, Liberty, Traveler’s Rest or Marietta, is likely to get you a mouth full of fist before the guns come out. And they will come out.
For the record, I bow my knee to Jesus Christ alone, and I don’t let people get in my face screaming.
They never had good intentions. The founders are Marxists. They are lethal enemies. Look at the flames and bones. https://t.co/LPzFUgapoq

CFSP.
By this point the scouting line often detected the flanking lines of riot police and a riot was formally been declared. Blocs armed with shields deployed defensively to allow time for the rest of the rioters to disengage. These “shield walls” provided a tempting target for a police “bull rush”, video of which can then be used for propaganda purposes. Behind the shield wall other bloc members threw commercial fireworks, frozen water bottles, and paint-filled balloons. The paint balloons are often mixed with sand or abrasive material that scratches clear shields and visors when cleaning is attempted damaging expensive riot suppression equipment. Meanwhile the main element of the antifa black bloc continued to retreat into bordering residential areas.
Antifa chooses the residential areas for specific reasons. As the police deploy flashbangs, tear gas, and assorted non-lethal munitions in order to control the ongoing riot, the disruptive effects are experienced by the local residents. Additionally, as the action moved further into the poorly-lit neighborhoods, small groups of rioters and black bloc would break off to either escape, or engage in vandalism against the original PPB target (if left unguarded) or other nearby targets of opportunity.
In other words, you home, with your family inside.
I judge the actions of the residents in this neighborhood to be unwise. As Antifa/BLM continues to encroach into neighborhoods, endangering the lives of residents with their actions, I expect there to be an increased occurrence of this sort of thing.
But I don’t expect it will all be out in the open. There will be an increased occurrence of shooters in cover and concealment, under Ghillie suits, and so forth, looking for their own “targets of opportunity.”
I expect the coming months to be increasingly dangerous for rioters as they encroach into residential areas.
Via WiscoDave, via ZH. Quick note to BLM: You can expect more of the same.
FRANK NITTY II and protesters were marching when white man with gun comes out and start shooting at them shooting one protester in the face. On day 21 walking from Milwaukee to DC 30 miles a day. Police have made no arrest and seen video evidence. pic.twitter.com/pP3bVb3GTv

They are telling you as loudly as they can, almost begging you to understand, that from their perspective – and they are the ones doing it all so they should know – this has nothing whatsoever to do with the police.
Are you dense, or do you understand yet?
Some residents were harassed by the crowd for protecting a local business (not their own business)

Thank you to the people of Kenosha. This is how we get them to bend the knee. This is an essential part of the path to our Freedom Dreams. Leftists who claim this limits our ability to win lack a meaningful understanding of movement history and the politics of insurrections. https://t.co/wc9pop2zSx

Here is a looting spree by BLM rioters in a “mostly peaceful protest exercising 1A rights focused only on police overreach.” Except of course for the fires, beatings, busting of windows, and destruction of businesses.
