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)

DHS SENDS IN CHOPPER to Intimidate Tea Party Protesters in LA

But they couldn't send a plane to fly over Benghazi.

If anything, this will improve attendance at Tea Party rallies.

Forgive my ignorance but exactly what arrest or other law enforcement authority does DHS legally have? They like to run around in uniforms and arms but where and what does their “power” (real or perceived) actually come from? Cause I’m not seeing it.

The TEA Party protesters got more air coverage than the Benghazi consulate. Barry is showing his true colors.

I went to the Hartford TEA party rally in front of the IRS building.

I was there 20 minutes early. There was a DHS vehicle parked on the corner that they thought we were going to be.

We gathered on another corner, closer to the entrance to the building. The DHS vehicle was moved and parked (in an illegal spot) on the corner where we were. That is what passed for intimidation in Hartford.

Funniest comment on the GP page...

I observed the "patriots" at the L.A. protest, and was amused to see many mobility challenged Polident addicts blasting Lawrence Welk 8-track cassettes from their well-preserved, low-mileage Pacers, Gremlins and Vegas, trading tips about where to buy sun hats, and the cheapest sources of Depends. There was one moment of hilarity when an elderly gent with a transistor AM radio to his ear yelled, "The Pacemakers!" People turned in alarm, but laughed when he said he was listening to Gerry and the Pacemakers. The gathering broke up when someone mentioned it was time for the Early Bird Special at nearby lounges.

Let’s make sure it’s not done in a hot-headed way,
but in a cold, calculated way,

ie, on our terms, not theirs.

Where were the DHS vehicles for “Occupy”?

Such lying intimidations by DHS are a form of terrorism and treason. The person who gave the order for this type of terrorism to be employed against law-abiding American citizens should be arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced, and hanged.

Let’s hope the order came from the top.

I've been saying for quite a while - their power comes from their ability to use force, not from any legitimate authority like the Constitution or the consent of the governed.

They are thugs. Plain and simple.

You see, the gestapo know what we know....”Tea Party” is just a euphemism for the term we really intend.

During the White House coordinated #Occupy movement there were numerous murders, rapes, beatings, vandalism, theft, drug overdoses, hatchet attacks, etc. Did DHS ever fly choppers over their violent rallies?
Just wondering.

They responded faster and with more force than they did in Benghazi. Are we still expected to believe that there was nothing they could do?

Does anybody remember DHS responding to any of the VIOLENT and UNRULY “Occuppy” protesters in this manner?

Didn’t think so.

Oh, and “Federal” property was paid for by our bloody tax money, you imperious PIGS! WE OWN IT, NOT YOU!!!

That's when it would pay to have a friend or two in the local police department. Imagine a DHS vehicle getting ticketed and towed... :-)

So the federal government puts a group of Americans on the terror watch list, predicting they will riot and become violent. THEN DHS infringes on that groups rights, and treats them like criminals, with the full weight of the IRS- and then has the DHS show up to enforce martial law on them....

The change people were hoping for is now here.

But how does he get so many others to go along with him?

The same way Hitler and all the other dictators did.
