It is quite sinister ... men dressed in black with black masks using pepper spray, tasers, fireworks and physical mayhem to injure and disrupt peaceful marchers expressing their 1st Amendment right of patriotic assembly ... see: Powerline Blog Post.
This is precisely the type of anarchy that the media attributes to President Trump supporters... yet it is being fulminated by his detractors. And, to boot, the media generally chooses to ignore or reverse spin such thuggish and incendiary behavior. This is because it is the antithesis of their narrative ... a narrative that has Steve Bannon dressed in a brown shirt heading a pack of deplorables to attack a Gay Pride parade ... or a pink-hatted feminist march ... or a La Raza voter registration rally.
The genuinely disturbing thing about these anti-Trump efforts is that the Left secretly seems to relish them ... despite the dark nature of their tactics ... otherwise why would not they be making front-page news? Have you seen anything on TV about this Huntington Beach, California brouhaha? I thought not. And when it does make the newspapers or Internet, it is often the Trumpers who are the bad guys. Now take a few minutes and carefully read and watch how this anti-Trump spin is crafted ... WaPo Story and Video. See any black masks? Now contrast this with the other, likely make realistic perspective ... PJ Media Story and Video.
How is its that the fulminators become the victims?
The dozen thugs who were responsible for disrupting the pro Trump march do not represent me or "The Left." To answer your question, NBC reported it http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/scuffles-pro-trump-rallies-held-6-arrested-california-clash-n738571
ReplyDeleteThe logic behind the assertion that Lefties secretly relish violence is flawed. The vast majority of anti-Trump protests have been peaceful. We see what we want to see.
Given your many pejorative comments about Trump and Co., I just assumed that you and yours kinda sympathized with these black-clad thugs. Maybe it is just George Soros and his band of botherers.

DeleteMaybe it was Steve Bannon taking cues from "Wag the Dog" and "Our Brand is Crisis". With a little help from Mercer. Has anyone ID'ed any of these hooligans? Making judgements with no foundation would be bad news reporting, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteLiberal hubs have a way of sweeping identities and punishments for such mischief under the rug. In the DC inaguration altercations all those arrested were sent on their way with no consequences. How nice ...
