U.S. Attorney General William Barr gave congressional Democrats a much-deserved dressing down for endlessly excusing the orgy of violence in cities across America that has followed the wrongful death of George Floyd in Minneapolis May 25 at the hands of police. The Democratic Party officially endorsed Black Lives Matter in 2015 and has all but endorsed Antifa, the purported anti-fascists who embrace fascistic tactics in the name of combating fascism, a term they define promiscuously. President Donald Trump has vowed to designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
”...........Industrial-grade mortar fireworks have reportedly been fired at police officers and federal agents, and on July 27 a bomb was detonated at the federal courthouse in Portland. “The most serious injury to an officer to date occurred when a protester wielding a two-pound sledgehammer struck an officer in the head and shoulder when the officer tried to prevent the protester from breaking down a door to the Hatfield Courthouse,”.............. injuries were “broken bones, hearing damage, eye damage, a dislocated shoulder, sprains, strains, and contusions.”..........agents have been burned by fireworks and a “caustic substance.”........
Democrats, he told the Democrat-run House Judiciary Committee July 28, have refused to condemn the various assaults on the courthouse and on police guarding it. And they have also accused President Trump of sending federal police to Portland as agents provocateurs and an invading federal army. They claim that Trump is using federal agents as props to assist him in his ongoing bid for reelection..............
“What makes me concerned for the country is, this is the first time in my memory that the leaders of one of our great two political parties, the Democratic Party, are not coming out and condemning mob violence and the attack on federal courts,”...............“Federal courts are under attack. Since when is it okay to burn down a federal court?”......... some of the weapons the rioters have used to attack the courthouse and federal officers: “rifles, explosives, knives, saws, sledgehammers, tasers, slingshots, rocks, bricks, lasers …” “You have missed some things but that’s a good list,”.........He added, “powerful slingshots with ball bearings” and the use of “lasers to blind the marshals.” He also said rioters have started fires at the courthouse and “when the marshals come out to try to deal with the fire, they’re assaulted.”............
“Whether it is sugarcoating
their behavior as mostly peaceful or [House Judiciary Committee
Chairman] Jerry Nadler saying Antifa is a myth. Remember [U.S. Rep.]
Eric Swalwell said he’s never heard of antifa. Remember the governor of
Washington refused to even acknowledge that CHAZ [occupation in Seattle]
existed at first. There’s a pattern here.”.........To Read More...
