By Jeff Davidson,
If it wasn’t for Donald Trump everything would be hunky-dory in LA, according Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass. Sorry folks, the rest of the nation does not agree with you.
As you watch CNN or the big three TV networks, you have to wonder. What are they not showing? Clearly, the fake stream media selectively films and broadcasts as standard policy. If someone strikes a police officer, drops bricks from an overpass, smashes government building windows, or commits other acts of violence, you can bet it won’t be shown on CNN.
Well-Coordinated
Who in their right mind would enter the fray other than hardcore Leftist, illegals, communists, and Antifa types? How can they participate on weekdays for most of the day, and then into the night? Don’t any of these people have jobs? Don’t they have to rise early the next morning?
The most active people on the streets do have jobs – temporary jobs – as highly paid protesters. They remain in the streets for long hours, and especially after sundown, because they can collect thousands of dollars in doing so.
The signs that they exhibit are distributed to them at a checkpoint. Such signage is produced long before the actual riots, which are far from spontaneous. They are funded by agencies via your tax dollars from the Biden Administration, by American Leftist billionaires and by those who seek to harm our society, such as the Chinese Communist Party, and various socialist and Marxist groups. These provocateurs have long known how easy it is to fool much of the American populace by orchestrating such events and having the likes of CNN selectively film them.
The Silver Lining
Peaceful protests, it must illuminated, are not the same as non-violent protests. If a group marches in the center of a street without a parade permit, blocks traffic on a highway, hinders passage along a side walk, or stops people from entering a building, such a protest might be non-violent, but it is not peaceful. Likewise, when gathering in groups larger than permitted by authorities, traversing beyond law-enforcement posted barriers, or marching past curfew, it is no longer a peaceful protest.
Could there be a silver lining to what’s occurring in Los Angeles and which is soon emerge in other cities? Yes. Unlike the Biden Administration, who gave violent protesters a free pass, helped to spring them from jail within 24 to 48 hours, and publicly praised lawbreakers (eg., Vice President Kamala Harris), the situation is now different.
Today, we have real leaders in place, starting with Donald Trump, Pam Bondi as attorney general, Kash Patel as the director of the FBI, Christy Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, and Tom Homan as the Border Czar, among many others.
Rabble rousers, paid to provoke law enforcement, are arrested and plasticuffed –anyone who forsakes the parameters of peaceful protesting is subject to arrest.
A Snowball Effect
Hundreds of people already have been taken into custody. As each of them is processed, their names go into an FBI database, the National Data Exchange and they can be linked to their past activities. As more protesters/rioters in LA and elsewhere are taken into custody, a huge file accumulates of those who seek to wreak havoc on our streets. As an increasing number of agitators are incarcerated, tried, and hopefully convicted, the effectiveness of their sponsors — those who paid them to protest — will diminish while light will be shed on these sponsors.
Constitutional scholars say that paid protesters have a right to peaceful assembly but not to engage in transgression, intimidation, or violence. One doesn’t necessarily have to throw bricks. If you disrupt traffic, hinder others from moving about, congregate too close to a public building, or disobey a direct order from law enforcement, all of this and more are grounds for being detained and plasticuffed.
Those who throw heavy objects, obviously, openly clash with police, damage property, commit arson, or encourage others to commit acts of violence are breaking the law. Such individuals need to be taken off the streets and prosecuted.
Round’em Up
The number of those who actually protest in the streets is a small percentage of those on the Left. If you subtract the paid protesters, the percentage of actual, heartfelt protesters is even smaller.
By rounding up the lawbreaking and violent participants, we can inexorably diminish the effectiveness of those who seek to turn our cities into ashes.
