DO HIM LIKE GADDAFI’ — ANTIFA PROTESTERS CAUGHT ON VIDEO THREATENING TO KILL THE PRESIDENT
One year ago, President Trump told the American people that there was “violence on both sides” during the Charlottesville riots.
Those riots pitted neo-Nazis marching in the city against Antifa and other progressive groups. The powder keg was lit and both sides committed acts of violence against each other. The riots left many injured and one activist lost her life when awhite supremacists rammed his car into a crowd. Trump was attacked for the “both sides” comment in the wake of the violence.
However, in the year since, the Left’s violent tactics have been on full display in multiple arenas across the country. Riots and death threats have targeted Trump officials, ICE agents, police officers and children . A former Bernie Sanders staffer opened fire on a group of Republican congressmen practicing baseball, seriously wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
Sunday afternoon, on the one year anniversary of the Charlottesville riots, progressives, anarchists, black bloc thugs gathered together as so-called “Antifa” again to counter-protest a gathering of white supremacists in Washington, D.C. The leftist protesters far outnumbered the white supremacists, and masked members of the violent Antifa group could be seen everywhere.
Many in the protest marched under the banners of ‘Peace’ and ‘Love Trumps Hate’ while chanting ‘Love, not hate. That’s what makes America Great.’ The armed, masked Antifa members and the chants of “peace and love” seemed antithetical.
I decided to ask the protesters what they would do were they to meet president Trump. Specifically, I asked “If Donald Trump showed up here, what would you say or do?” The answers I received stunned me. In my short time at the rally, approximately one hour, half a dozen protesters looked into my camera and threatened to physically harm or “murder the president.”
Some said they wanted to “do him like Gaddafi” in reference to the Libyan leader that was dragged into the street, beaten and murdered by his own people.
The actions mirror those of progressive protests around the country Sunday — where journalists were attacked, property was vandalized and cops were arresting progressive protesters by the dozen for violent behavior. There is violence on both sides.
To see the full videos and pics, click on the link. Seems as though the pics can't be reduced in size from the source.
Oh yeah - they're peaceful alright.
I find it interesting that the author fails to quote ANYONE and although there were hundreds of counter-protesters, he could only come up with a couple of 'masked antifa'. A MUCH HIGHER percentage of the 'Unite the Right' 'marchers' were masked, yet I don't see any of them represented in the author's 'photo essay'.
I think that a quick review of the 'journalistic' qualifications of the 'author', Benny Johnson, is in order:
Hardly an example of 'journalist' integrity is he?
BTW, there are videos that show a very small contingent of counter-protestors wearing masks and MOST of the Antifa representatives without masks.
The VAST MAJORITY of the counter protesters were NOT members of Antifa but I guess that fact doesn't play into the Benny Johnson's 'journalistic' agenda.
Oh and I see that Antifa brought a knife to a gun fight since the Unite the Right 'protestors' were protected by hundreds of armed guards supplied by the taxpayers of America.
All in all I rate this seed as 'weak sauce'.
As is your argument. If you wish to protect ANTIFA and think of them as sweet little darlings - do some cruising on the 'net and you'll find different stories.
Now, don't do the usual - attacking the sources - how 'bout reading what is written, let your mind cogitate it and then make up your own mind.
How so? What was inaccurate? Please be specific?
Exactly WHAT in my comment lead you to make that allegation? I addressed the CONTENT of the seeded article and contrasted it with what I have seen with my own eyes or read in other accounts.
BTW, reviewing the credentials of the author of articles is a common practice of mine. If you don't care about the quality of an author's credentials, that's your choice. Note that I didn't 'attack the sources', I merely CITED his Wiki bio which is pretty fucking damning.
If you have a more endearing evaluation of Johnson's journalistic ethics, by all means post it.
As you are well aware, my 'usual' IS to read what is written. I went to the seeded article and viewed ALL of the photos posted there [since you cited their importance], hence my accurate evaluation of the content of the seed and context of the photos.
I note that instead of addressing the content of my reply, you just threw more shit at the wall. It leads me to believe that you realize that your seeded article fails on the merits, or lack thereof.
Perhaps you should have seeded one of the other linked articles instead of Johnson's. If you do, I'll review it. As it is, my evaluation of THIS seed stands.
I'm quite sure that a person's lifestyle/habits/background has "much" to do with their authorship - at least, that's what I was taught. But, I, and very probably the vast majority of readers, don't get into the mud and dirt of an author to determine if their point is valid or invalid purely because of the reader's criteria.
Communist propaganda needs to be silenced online as well. Nazi and communist need to be silenced online. Free speech doesn't mean freedom of a platform. It's time to shutdown nazi and antifa/communist social media accounts
In this case you don't have to read the article, just look at the actions of Antifa and see they are the real fascists.
1st, Johnson was FIRED by multiple media outlets, not because of MY standards, but because of Johnson's constant plagiarism and inability to meet journalistic ethical standards.
If you want to accept him as a source for information, so be it. IMHO, he shouldn't be published but hey, it's dailycaller so I guess they need to scrap the bottom...
So you reject any scrutiny of the content you post here. Got ya.
BTW, I'm not going anywhere...
Most seeders refrain from posting authors with so much documented mud and dirt. Prior documented acts of plagiarism and citing false sources relate DIRECTLY to whether an author's point can be considered valid.
Again, you think the guy is worthy of seeding, have at it. Just don't expect the rest of us to accept your standard. I for one decline.
Wow - don't know how it happened that one must defend the author of an article versus the information contained in the article - which is - ANTIFA PROTESTORS ARE VIOLENT AND ADVOCATE KILLING THE PRESIDENT.
Guess you're advocating that all of us must take a course in Author critiquing now since the content/context of an article/thread/seed no longer counts.
Gotcha.
Have you already forgotten that I addressed the content/context of your seed?
BTFW, the agenda and ethics of an author is part of the 'context' of any article.
As for the need to take a course, I think that rather than indifference, at least a modicum of curiosity about the source is sufficient.
Calling for the lynching of an American....
But they aren't a hate group.
LOL they openly call for his assassination why do you think this will matter?
Can someone fix this seed so that it is visually acceptable?
The photos dominate the seed and they are all improperly sized for the article.
Sorry, I tried to no avail.
Literally they should all be taken out because the last one is the video of these morons being tough on camera and the source of every still photo
and all that needs to be watched.
Which begs the question, how can they be "caught on camera" when they willingly were interviewed?
Seems we have a whole lot on here who openly, fully support white supremacist.
Antifa, contrary to what the left wants you to believe, actually stands for Anti First Amendment. It's painfully obvious when these idiots show up and attempt to shut down the First Amendment rights of those they just don't like.
The left will never admit to this. They would rather the violence, assault, personal property destruction, bike locks an the head, etc, than allow someone will different views than them.
Liberal violence is now openly accepted on the left. The DNC is becoming more and more fascist.
Nope. It's anti-fascist
Nope...and you know it. Anti fascists don't use fascist tactics to make their point. Anti First Amendment idiots on the left do.
No and you don't know. Its anti-fascist
And nasty name calling is the norm for those on the right. Civility has gone out the window. Your president calls fellow Americans derogatory names and enjoys calling people of color ignorant. And rapists. And terrorists. And you're all falling in line behind that ignorant, lying, cheating, incestuous, traitor. Your president called for violence at his rallies . Constantly.
I saw a fantastic bumper sticker yesterday. It was fantastic because it's true. "Elect a clown, expect a circus."
Wasn't that Bumper sticker from 2008 when that piece of shit do nothing obama was President?
Simply pointing out that there are those who refuse to recognize the fact that there is WRONG on both sides. That is the problem today, everyone want's to attack wrong only if it is on the other side of the political divide and refuse to even acknowledge the wrong done on their side of the fence.
Who cares. It applies more now than ever. You approve of a president that lusts after his daughter, do you? Clown is a noun that's being kind to the traitor.
First let me make a slight correction:
" One year ago, President Trump told the American people that there was “violence on both sides” during the Charlottesville riots."
Initially, it was about Confederate statues and those who wanted to remove vs those who wanted to maintain. Those are whom the President referred to when he said there were good people on either side.
However the statue controversy was the lightning rod for the hibernating Klan members. We thought they were long since dead, but a few got motivated for the statues and that brought out thousands from the militant arm of the radical left - antifa. The violence ensued and we know the results.
Now however came the anniversary of that incident. This time even fewer Klan supporters came, they got yelled at and they fled. However it was the antifa side that was well represented and ready for a fight! This time with nobody to fight but the police:
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The city of Charlottesville marked the anniversary of last summer's white supremacist violence that sent ripples through the country with largely peaceful vigils and other events, but police had a brief, tense confrontation with demonstrators angry over the heavy security presence there this weekend.
"Why are you in riot gear? We don't see no riot here," activists chanted Saturday evening.
Shortly before a planned evening rally to mark the anniversary of a campus confrontation between torch-carrying white nationalists and counterprotesters, activists unfurled a banner that said, "Last year they came w/ torches. This year they come w/ badges."
A group of more than 200 protesters - students, residents and others - then marched to another part of the University of Virginia's campus, where many in the crowd shouted at officers in riot gear forming a line.
At one point, UVA Medical Center went on lockdown, with employees receiving an alert to stay indoors due to the protesters moving in "unpredictable directions," CBS Charlottesville affiliate WCAV reports .
Kibiriti Majuto, a coordinator for UVA Students United, said the students moved to another part of campus because they didn't want to be "caged" in the area where the planned rally area. Majuto said police "were not on our side" last year when white supremacists surrounded counterprotesters on the rotunda.
"Cops and Klan go hand in hand," he said.
This is how a msm news organization like CBS describes an event at which rioters from one side are on a rampage, yet CBS declines to even use their name or accurately explain who they are!!!
Any proof of rioters on a rampage would be appreciated.
4 arrests and no reports of property damages seems like something less than that......
So as far as your concerned, as long as their wasn't property damage or someone killed, (4 of whom you admit were arrested) a group of about 200 is allowed to intimidate a college campus?
Did you read the article I linked?
Here:

"Cops and Klan go hand in hand," he said.
Charlottesville city councilman Wes Bellamy said he tried to diffuse the situation and told the police commander that students were upset by the officers' tactics, with "over-the-top" riot gear
After a few minutes, most demonstrators began walking away. There were no immediate reports of arrests on campus.
At some point after the UVA rally, dozens of demonstrators marched off campus through other parts of the city, chanting "Whose streets? Our streets" and "Who do you protect? Who do you serve?"
And they did it with heavy Police presence and no extremist group opposing them. And your'e OK with them?
Repeating the seeded story in bold and double spaced doesn't make poor behavior criminal or prove any property damage was done..
4 of the asshats were arrested for disorderly conduct.
Big whoop!
Al I saw besides the immaturity and feigned anger was a group of ( fill in the derogatory description ) exercising their Constitutional rights to go where they please and be as obnoxious as they
please within the limits of the law and their permits......
It was a huge nothing burger, as was the DC rally in which 1 counter protester got himself arrested.
Most likely the police presence and overtime prevented some property damage in both protests.
Where did I allege that it was criminal or that property was damaged?
It was a huge nothing burger, as was the DC rally in which 1 counter protester got himself arrested.
You seem to like protests.......Which DC rally? How about the one on inauguration day, where protesters went beyond their "Constitutional rights"....You know where Federal prosecutors dismissed prosecuting those who broke the law! :
"Prosecutors began filing paperwork Friday afternoon to formally drop the cases against 39 people who had been awaiting trial.
The vandalism of downtown businesses on the day President Trump was sworn in stretched more than 16 blocks as part of a disturbance called DisruptJ20. Members of a large group of protesters set small fires and used bricks and crowbars to smash storefronts. Prosecutors had said six police officers were injured.
In all, 234 people were arrested and charged with rioting. Of them, 21 defendants pleaded guilty before trial. But prosecutors had been unable to secure convictions at trial against others in the group."
No shit. Snowflakes.
I hear nuthin' but crickets.
You know this HOW? The statement was made AFTER two days of violence.
BTW, the white supremacists ADMIT in their social media posts from before the 'protests' that the statue 'issue' was merely a façade for their desire for violent conflict.
The real irony is Gaddaffi was murdered for trying to start a gold backed currency.
Oh please. Spare me the drama. Nobody gave a shit about the death threats against President Obama. This is a partial list:
[It seems Trump's not the only one that lusts after his own daughter.]
Cite .
Trump's called his base idiots from the beginning. And they were too stupid to grasp. "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they'd still vote for me." That is the ONE DAY that he told the truth. The lying-piehole-in-chief loves calling his base idiots. He's done it several time. If Obama would have said that, I would have never voted for him. If Obama openly lusted after his daughter and gave Howard Stern permission to call his daughters a "piece of ass", I wouldn't have voted for him. If Obama had talked of grabbing pussies, I wouldn't have voted for him. The people that don't give a shit about what trumplethinskin says are morally rudderless. And that's being kind.
There are some smart people on the right that have realized the error. And those people I respect .
In other words if they agree with you respect them.
You are right. I don't care what President Trump said. What I care about is what he does.
The left is so lost all they can do is talk about but he said/did this and have nothing else to offer.
Who said this ?
I'll give you a hint. The Democrats cheered.
And BTW for all President Trumps faults in which I admit there are many, he is still a hell of a better choice than Hillaryious Hillary.
I wasn't crazy about Hillary but she's a damn sight better than that lyin', cheating, incestuous, traitorous piece of shit you call your president. He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it. He's cheated friends, contractors, businesses, and colleagues alike.
Agreeing with me isn't the point. The point is they see that the fat lyin traitorous emperor has no fuckin' clothes. History will not be kind to that POS. And the world is laughin' at the ridiculous bumpkin you call your president.
The only person that would make me vote for Hillary over them is. . .. is.. . .aaahhh!.. . HMMM! Well gees there must be someone or something it just won't come to mind right now .
I expect nothing less ... and certainly nothing more ... from you arkie. Not a darned thing.
Party over country for you. Party over country. Unamerican.
Where did I mention party? I put no such restriction in my comment.
Hmmm. Just to be sure, I Googled "People Who Give A Shit What Arkie Says." And just as I suspected ... my name wasn't on there. No one's name was. Funny that. And to double check, I looked at my Giveafuckomometer and it didn't even register. How 'bout that, Arkie. Some things never change.
Didn't need to any of that to know what I think of your opinion. [deleted]
Yeah, yeah. Big whoop coming from you, arkie.
Your point? No one is going to get 100% of the people's confidence. But Trump is a fuckin' liar and ignorant bumpkin who has not drained the swamp, he's filled it with cockadiles.
You can't say anything bad about Antifa. They're fighting fascist, you know. LOL
Beating up people, burning things, spitting and attacking police, calling all police pigs, wanting open borders, no USA and the list goes on and on. They are the radical arm of the Democrat Party and you don't see many in that Party criticizing them, do you?
There should NEVER be any violence of any sort. However, I never see the posresident saying shit about the nazi's. If nothing is said to them, about them, if Trumplethinskin wouldn't have preached violence during his rallies, promising to pay bail for those that beat PEACEFUL protesters, then perhaps people would be more vocal about it. I saw very few right leaners bitch OR moan about his asking for violence at his rallies. It's what his base loved. If you think people aren't going to bite back, then you don't know much about human nature.
I abhor violence on either side. It's unnecessary. As is making disgusting comments about other Americans the norm. Civility has gone out the window with each and every single one of his disgusting and infantile tweets.
