Lawmakers were evacuated from the Democratic National Committee headquarters and House office buildings locked down on Wednesday after law enforcement clashed with protesters pressing for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
Why it matters: The incident, which resulted in arrests, marks the latest in a series of large demonstrations on Capitol Hill over the Middle East conflict that have been putting Capitol security on edge.
- The DNC was hosting a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee candidate event at the time, with multiple Democratic leaders present including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), two House Democrats told Axios.
What they’re saying: The Capitol Police said in a statement that six officers were treated for injuries “ranging from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched.”
So go to a supposed “anti war” “cease fire now” protest and use violence to get your point across?
Yep sounds right
democrat tactics 101.. (see: anti-fart and burn, loot and murder)
So, are they going to get raided by SWAT teams and hauled off to club fed where they’re abused and detained unconstitutionally?
Yeah, I didn’t think so either.
That’s the end of that demonstration. They will not be hunted down and tried by a kangaroo court. Not like the Jan 6thers.
“One House Democrat who was present at the DNC told Axios it “scared me more than January 6,””
Now that’s really rich. Remember my leftie-loving lads and lassies, “what goes around, comes around.”
Ha. Comes now a situation that is much closer to real insurrection with real violence and real consequences than the Jan 6 farce created from distilled media outrage. All courtesy of real leftists, at that. It sure would be a terrible shame if some real harm was to come to some real high profile politicians (especially those on left) as a result of these protests.
Why, I’m not sure I could contain my amusement at such a turn of events. And oh, woe to the poor capitol police, bemoaning their plight under the onslaught of real violent protestors. As Dave Chappelle once quipped, “gotcha, bitch!” Of course, when it happens it will probably be used as the justification for a clamp down of breathtaking scope. But that’s coming regardless, and a false flag event will be ginned up to get it, if it doesn’t happen organically.
More, please. Bring the pain right to the centers of power, I’m going to enjoy watching the sudden bouts of induced incontinence in the scum that poses as “government”. And not a tear will be shed by me if these protestors get into the ivory towers and start dragging the idiots therein out into the street for…cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Yeah, that’s it.
Anything that shows the ruling class they are no longer safe and untouchable is good with me. Let them be driven into hysterical fear and feel the consequences of what their actions have wrought. As has been seen so many times, mob actions are unpredictable, and I’m ready to see some burnt offerings made.
“Anything that shows the ruling class they are no longer safe and untouchable is good with me. Let them be driven into hysterical fear and feel the consequences of what their actions have wrought.”
Hmmmm, here’s a thought. What if someone went through the trouble of making up maps and directions to where the regional rich, powerful, connected class have their estates and distributed them among the illegal aliens sitting around various collection points around the country. You would probably have to write them up in multiple languages. No need to give out any names and addresses, just directions from greater LA to Beverly Hills for example. Now that would be entertaining.
I like the way you think. Using their imported “pets” against them would be an even more delicious twist. It would also be particularly galling to these arrogant bastards to come face to face with the fact they’ve lost control of their subversive operation.
amongst those lists, insure that all the con-gress critters addresses are clearly printed.
mostly peaceful
Shall they all be charged with insurrection? Jailed without bail for, let’s say, three years or so?
At least they’re not fake MAGA protestors! Can’t help but think this is just another event George Soros is paying for!
most telling feature….. all the same T-shirt, which took time to print and distribute….anyone think this is a “spontaneous” protest?
Most likely not. Yet despite that, once one has ginned up a group of misfits and malcontents for a specific purpose, it can and does take on a life of it’s own. Suddenly, those who planned and bankrolled the operation may find themselves at risk, once the restless horde gets a taste for blood. After all, those behind these sorts of happenings are elitist scum with great wealth and influence, and thereby certainly not immune to resentment from the unwashed idiots they dispatch for these “protests”.
We can only hope that this effect results in many “own goals” yet to come. Both for the practical benefit of damaging our enemies, and for the entertainment value of watching our enemies get hoisted by their own petard.
I suspect it will become increasingly difficult to focus the rage of these organized bands of human detritus, so blowback on their sponsors is easily within the realm of possibility.
seems like someone missed a gulag opportunity. Even some of the elected were scared, per their own words.
