Max Boot, a conservative columnist and CNN commentator, said he agreed with Gertz.
“I think Tucker is a terrible influence on modern America but that doesn’t justify harassing him at home,” Boot tweeted. “Go high, not low.”

“I think Jews are terrible influence on modern America but that doesn’t justify harassing them at home,” Boot tweeted. “Go high, not low.”

(Yes, Boot. You qualified your condemnation of violence based on the recipient of that violence. Are some people less than human, Boot?)

I lived and worked in the region around eight years ago, and my co-worker (long-time DC resident) often discussed how DC ‘protection’ worked. The eastern side of DC for years had prioritized and demanded teacher jobs and public housing. The western side (Georgetown area) demanded cops. So the city council had created this Frankenstein-like public system that everyone got something but it was marginal in terms of value.

The problem I see here is if the cops did respond, and it’s a limited ‘show’ in the first two minutes (say one or two cops), then they might overreact, and have to pull weapons out, and there’s some chance of a couple of dead Antifa guys. I suspect no one in the DC City council wants that, and so the cops are on some leash and told to avoid confrontations.


Thanks for the clear explanation.Sounds very plausible. I do not blame the cops; only the civil authorities are to blame.

So for now, and in the future, "investigate" is a copspeak in blue controlled areas for do nothing. Obviously, the voters in blue areas would never hold the civil authorities accountable.

Needs to be federal protection for first amendment rights, just like voting rights for minorities.

If Tucker is intimidated or his family harmed, red state America will lose one of its prime communicators.

The Cops will probably charge Tucker’s wife for ‘Incitement’. Gotta keep those Pensions!

So, apparently Boot thinks it is perfectly OK to harass people he doesn’t like politically, anywhere else besides home?

I’ve come to understand that Leftism and the failure to confront Leftism in even the smallest way is moral cowardice.

Yeah, and just think what would of happened if she answered the door with a gun a gun in her hand when the cops showed up!

Ability, opportunity, and intent.

Once those are Established the right to defend yourself is established. What you choose to do with it is up to you.

Kicking in my door will hurt. Having a mask on to me says “bad guy”. In my world bad guys die. Screwing with Tucker Carlson is not smart, threatening his family is even dummer. Black, white, blue or green, whatever, you made the decision. Goodbye.

If they’d arrived sooner the police would’ve caught them in the act

Please read post #17. As good an explanation as any.

Automatic weapons. Large truck to transport hazardous organic material.. Toxic waste dump pit with lime and then heavy concrete to cover. Eventually Antifa will have all, “vanished”...

My guess would be property tax records.

with obvious signs of property destruction, then how can police justify inaction?

Maybe the cops are democrats

Hey! I know! Let’s fight fascism by dressing up in uniforms, having huge rallies, smashing people’s houses, painting symbols on their doors .... why, we can even have a night where we bust our enemies windows! .... we could call it....Crystal Night!” — AntiFa

It genuinely feels like I am in 1939 Germany, and my last name is Goldstein.


Apparently we have forgotten history.

We who have studied history are doomed to watch, as those who have not studied history, repeat it.

Answering the door with a gun in her hand would have been a really dumb thing to do. When she was hiding in the pantry, I’ll bet she had a mighty big number with her.

Women these days are not defenseless.

I wholeheartedly agree. There's literally no difference between the Nazi Brownshirts and the misnamed "Antifa" thugs. Orwellian Newspeak. Yet no one, especially the media, will make that obvious and very crucial connection. We have kids indoctrinated from kindergarten in Marxist propaganda who behave much like Nazi Youth or Stalin's Young Pioneers. Now the Left is trying to reduce the voting age to 16.

Civil authorities set rules of engagement-not cops fault.
