Escalating Tensions: Anti-Trump Protestors Mobilize in Phoenix Brandishing Guns!
Western Free Press ^ | 03/26/2017 | Joseph Morgan

Posted on 03/27/2017 12:45:44 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Stephen Lemons, of the Phoenix News Times, reported that about 40 or so assorted anarchists and members of various left wing groups gathered across the street from the state Capitol on Saturday in opposition to a pro-Trump rally openly armed to the proverbial teeth.

While it is not unusual that wanna-be para-military lefties should arrive at a pro-Trump rally with menacing faces, clenched fists, and nasty rhetoric, this is the first documented case that I’m aware of in the recent spate of protest, counter-protest movements that have swept this country, since the inauguration, that included a leftist group brandishing firearms.

There are those who might be tempted to make light of this, as it seems that in this case these gun-toting were simply taking themselves way to seriously.

Looks like bandana LARPing. Unusual they aren’t using them as masks, but they aren’t actually assaulting any citizens.
Mebbe they got tired of Pokemon Go.

Nice army (chuckle).
I bet they’d all wet their pants if they saw some of our gear.

So Soros is now into gun-running for his mercenary $15/hr army?

This is Soros’ armed troops on the street.

These are not snowflakes. These are fifth column anarchists.

Each one of these folks should be arrested.

Being armed for self-protection is admirable.

Being armed as a solid group for combat against political opponents is focused on intimidation and possibly death. This is merely an armed mob.

When is LEO finally going to get serious with these gutter dwellers?

No eye-pro. No ear-pro, not a single pair of Mechanix.

Hmmmm.... doesn’t look anything like actual shooters.

If one has no job, receives $800 in food stamps every month, gets rent subsidy, heat subsidy, free Obama phones, watches TV and smokes hashish all day, eats junk food all day, and has no exercise routine, it is almost impossible to not become obese.

Thanks. I did see the videos. It was never clear to me why the Asian man was attacked, except maybe for just being there and not being one of the hard-nosed, organized protestors. The fact that he described his attacker as a racist "skinhead" indicated he was either a just a bystander or a one-off protester unfamiliar with the methods and attire of the more hard-nosed protestors.

Since he was surrounded by a mob, and being attacked, I thought he acted justifiably, but I'm sure the police would not have been so understanding if he had been a Milo supporter. The police typically do NOT like ordinary citizens defending themselves with firearms.

Yeah, all gheybois and smegma warriors. Image and video hosting by TinyPic Did you see the antifa tuff guy paddled by Trumpers in Huntington Beach the other day? They pulled his max off, almost boo-foo'd him with fag pole and he was crying like a leetle gurrrl.

I would pay good money to watch that pasty cow try to move the selector on that Zastava she has clearly never touched in her life.

These snowflake Bolshies may want to read up on the O.K. Corral before they get too froggy. “Brandishing” firearms is not the same as being able to shoot them especially if you’ve never shot at anyone before.

If the “Bloods” see these goofyass snowflakes wearing their “colors”, Chip and Muffy here could get their asses kicked. Hell the word is already out for the honkies to stop wearing “hoop earrings” because they are not part of the honky culture. This this a hell of a lot worse than earrings.

What a bunch of plump toneless sh*t sticks. They look ridiculous, like trained monkeys smoking cigars. I guarantee that if they tried anything in Phoenix they would be dead in under 20 minutes.

They are really bad at being intimidating.

I guess you forget about the snowflakes that Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Pol Pot used for their purposes. Leftist are very dangerous because they easily hate so strongly and without knowledge.

There is no indication of an intent to intimidate

Check out the second photo in the original story that this one links to. Literal brownshirts in masks and bandanas.

It was never clear to me why the Asian man was attacked...

He was one of several people trying to push back a group of "Nazi Skinheads" who were attacking another person in the crowd. The attacking group turned on him and he ran. One of the "Skinheads" chased him and almost knocked him down. He pulled out a firearm and shot his attacker.

The entire sequence was pretty clearly shown in of one of the videos. There are several other videos that show parts of it. It was a text book justification for a self-defense claim.

In the aftermath it appears that both parties were sympathetic allies who misidentified each other in the confusion of the riot. A "Friendly Fire" incident if you will.

We should learn from these things and avoid making similar mistakes.

An excellent plan. We might want to work out a few more details though. Quietly.

And a number of backup plans would be good too.
