DHS SENDS IN CHOPPER to Intimidate Tea Party Protesters in LA
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 22, 2013 | Jim Hoft

ARMED DHS GUARDS greeted St. Louis Tea Party protesters at the Town and Country IRS office on Tuesday.

Around 300 protesters turned out anyway.

DHS parked their vehicles right outside the IRS office just in case the Tea Party protesters got crazy and violent.

But the DHS intimidation was not isolated to St. Louis.

In Los Angeles DHS put a chopper in the air and told Tea Party protesters they could not be on federal property.

They had to move away from the building.

This report came from a Tea Party protester in California.

Many of our 300 tea party folks were approached immediately by Homeland Security and told they could not be on federal property. My lawyer told me as long as I didn’t block passage we were OK. Many Homeland Security trucks and a helicopter above us scared many patriots so most of group went to public side walk to rally.

However, I stayed at IRS entrance telling Homeland Security it is my right to be there.

Then as I was leaving carrying my sign a woman jumped out of her car in IRS parking lot and started threatening me, “I am with ICE!”

To which I replied, “I am with Laguna Patriots!”(continued)

The only policemen I have ever seen at Tea Party event were hired by the event and I talked to one of them. He thought we were nice people.

Real policemen aren't the problem - the Obama's private army - the Department of Homeland Security 'rent a cop' types are the problem.

Real police officers know the law... these rent a cops don't... I doubt any of them have much police training. A fact that could make them very dangerous... (members of TSA are NOT police officers either... ) Obama's arming people who should not be armed and overseeing citizens. It stinks of private army.

” We were told, right here, that we were being “chicken littles” and “conspiracy nuts”.”

Oh yeah! I remember it well. Now the very worst has come to pass.

Well, not yet. The "very worst" would be if the DHS agents got trigger happy and opened fire.

That happens, it's "Game On".

I wish I could say they won’t fire at us, but if given the right opportunity, but I believe they will.

They were trying to provoke a response so they can have the excuse to go after Tea Parties out in the open (as opposed to doing so on the sly with the IRS). The commies are now spoiling for a confrontation.

That's it.

Their silent coup d'etat was successful. Fait accompli: The Republic is dead.

Agreed. As Jesus said, a house divided cannot stand.

Through a combination of exploitation of faults in the Constitution, bad Supreme Court decisions, alterations in who can vote, the Federal Reserve Act, alterations in how Senators are elected, the takeover of the media and the Academy by leftists; multiculturalism; diversity; rotten immigration policy; rotten civics education in goverment schools; creation of the welfare state; destruction of the nuclear family; unionization of public employees; and, most importantly, loss of faith in Christianity, the host (the USA) is terminally ill from an overwhelming infection.

Sorry, y'all, but the USA, as founded, is dead. Get used to it or emigrate.

Question: would a protest be better done if 50+ protestors located themselves in numerous, widely scattered, street locations instead of one specific site.
In Maitland Fl., yesterday the site was IRS but would have kept the DHS busier if the scattered sites were utilized. Make the DHS use more forces and plan the protests a random times. A protest and move, protest and move again.
Francis Marion used this method with great results.

I pleased you liked it kevslisababy... hoped you liked my favorite part:

Obama's team must find one violent Tea Party group.

If you see a person at a Tea Party protest advocating violence it's most likely a plant working for Obama or Clinton... Take their picture.

The part of the press owned by Obama will be there to capture any violence. (Hello NBC and New York Times) Rest assured that any member of the press who finds a violent Tea Party person will be offered one of the myriad prizes given by liberals to keep the press in line... Pulitzer anyone?

Interesting. I was under the impression that "federal" property belonged to us, the people, but apparently America has been fundamentally transformed - as promised.

We are limited as to how we can access the millions of acres behind our cabin - because they are federal lands. Big Brother is incrementally controlling everything...

Where did DHS get a helicopter and where do they park it?———It may never fly again. Mis-using public assets has a way of not working out.
