BLM Protesters Accost Black Civil Rights Activist Vernon Jones

The video showing protesters accost Jones, comes shortly after he spoke at the convention on Monday, criticizing the Democratic party, despite being a Democrat himself.

"As you can see, I'm a man of color, and I'm a lifelong Democrat, too. You may be wondering, why is a lifelong Democrat speaking at the Republican National Convention? And that's a fair question. And here's your answer," Jones said during his speech on Monday. "The Democratic Party does not want Black people to leave their mental plantation. We've been forced to be there for decades and generations, but I have news for Joe Biden. We are free. We are free people with free minds. And I'm part of a large and growing segment of the Black community who are independent thinkers, and we believe that Donald Trump is the president that America needs to lead us forward."

Jones also wrote an op-ed published by CNN, following his speech, explaining why he "walked away from the Democrats to support President Trump."

"The purpose of my speech was to serve as a culture shock, helping others break free of the groupthink-shackles placed on us by White liberals. Black Americans like me are free people with free minds," Jones wrote.....More

Rand Paul calls for FBI arrests, investigation into 'mob' he believes 'would have killed us,' if not for police

"It was horrific," the Republican senator -- who had part of his lung removed due to a complication from the 2017 assault by his neighbor -- told host Steve Doocy of the "unhinged" mob that continued to get bigger and bigger.

"They're attempting to push the police over to get to me, so at one point they push a policeman backwards, he stumbles and he's trying to catch his balance and I catch the back of his flak jacket to stabilize him to make sure he's OK because he's our defense," Paul explained. "If he's down, the mob's loose on us."

If not for the police, Paul said he could've been killed or recovering in the hospital, adding that people followed him into the hotel.

"I truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground, we might not have been killed, might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless," he explained.

Paul said he's authored 22 criminal justice reforms with President Trump and former President Barack Obama, but the demonstrators were still yelling: "We're not going to let you go alive unless you'll say you're for criminal justice reform."

The Pauls were unharmed, but the senator is still calling on the FBI to make arrests and conduct an investigation into the "interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines" because people have already been killed in other cities.

"I believe there are going to be people who are involved with the attack on us that actually were paid to come here, are not from Washington, D.C., and are sort of paid to be anarchists," he said. "This is disturbing because really, if you're inciting a riot that's a crime, but if you're paying someone to incite a riot that person needs to go to jail as well."

"They were inciting a riot and they would have killed us had the police not been there," the senator added.

He slammed the Democratic presidential ticket for violence in Democrat-run cities......More

Trump is just projecting what he is onto Biden.. It is almost impossible to listen to him now and not feel nauseated. His self grandiosity is at toxic levels.
You felt that way four years ago . And you are just noticing now .

Two people shot dead, 1 injured in Wisconsin as protests continue over police shooting of Jacob Blake

So who was the bad guy with the gun, and who was the good guy with the gun, in this situation?

Side note: his mother should be charged with accessory for driving him to this protest (in another state) and whoever took him home charged with aiding and abetting a felon plus accessory after the fact.

Just another day in Murka.

Nothing new. About six years ago, a girl was being instructed on how to fire a full-auto Uzi. She lost control of the weapon and killed the instructor.

She was nine.

That's right, an allegedly functional adult decided it was a good idea to have a nine-year-old learn to fire a submachine pistol. And another one, a qualified instructor, agreed.

MAGA!

At least baby Kyle's AR-15 isn't loaded.

It is, however, real, for those who can't tell.

Where is that self proclaimed "law and order" POTUS , when one needs him?? He spins a bunch of promises while doing nothing......... except fostering division and fracturing a nation into two major fractions ,each hating the other. A prescription for continuous civil unrest .that might require a regime change into authoritarianism. (by trump , of course)

The Dem. controlled cities and states have to ask for it unless it an assault on Fed. property

Pentagon ready to send troops to Minneapolis if state asks

Any mayor or governor calling the Pentagon should be fired.

Seriously. They have the city PD, the county sheriff's office (both of which usually have SWAT), the State Police, and the National Guard, which is a military force. And now they want the Army?

Hell, why not the Air Force dropping napalm and cluster bombs?

What the f*ck are they thinking? If those cowardly swine can't handle a civil unrest situation with several hundred cops and several thousand Guard troops, maybe they should hand the job off to somebody who can.

Preferably an organization whose chief doesn't refer to American cities as "the battlespace."

Of course, this could be the Pentagon signalling its readiness and willingness to take the field against American citizens if ordered.

Oddly, a christian group recently raised $97K for a 17 year-old murderer...and not $1 for a father of 3, shot 7 times in his back, in front of his children and is now paralyzed.
Isn’t THAT special?

Well, it's in the evangelical bible:

"Verily, I say unto you, that thou shalt give of thy gold to save him who kills the dark man. The widow, the orphan, the blind, the halt and the lame, the bereaved can go f*ck themselves." --I Donald 4:13.

"Thou must smite any who have melanin, for they are evil in the sight of the Lord, who commands you to judge others. Save that 'turn the other cheek' stuff for libtards." --II Wayne 2:21.
