Bricks, fires, frozen bottle projectiles: the organized tactics of America’s violent rioters
Just the News ^ | June 2,2020 | By Christine Dolan and John Solomon

Police say the current riots are the most sophisticated and coordinated in years with supply lines, medics and communications.

Police intelligence units have uncovered encrypted and walkie-talkie communications as well as social media postings that coordinate the delivery and hiding of weapons and projectiles and the direction of anarchists to specific locations at specific times.

In essence, these professional rioters have created command-and-control apparatus as well as supply chains unseen in prior riots that followed the deaths of Rodney King (Los Angeles), Michael Brown (Ferguson, Mo.) and Freddie Grey (Baltimore

One federal law enforcement official told Just the News, “The anarchists have upped their game.”

U.S. Park Police Acting Chief Gregory T. Monahan said Tuesday one of the most troubling tactics seen near the White House is anarchists trying to grab police weapons during clashes. Other weaponry, he said, was being hidden in areas for perpetrators to pick up to use against officers.

“Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street,” he said.

In other cities, stacks of bricks have been discovered in staging areas that end up being slammed against store windows by looters.

In New York City, rioters appear to have developed a scouting system to pick targets for fires and looting or to exploit holes in police protection. In the Big Apple, two lawyers were arrested after tossing a molotov cocktail into a police van.

The anarchists have "developed a complex network of bicycle scouts to move ahead of demonstrators in different directions of where police were and where police were not for purposes of being able to direct groups from the larger group to places where they could commit acts of vandalism including the torching of police cars

This is interesting because much of this is used by drug organizations to stay ahead of the police.

That is an early 60’s Corvair van, unlikely to be mistaken for any sort of medical vehicle in the modern era despite the taped on white cross on the rear walk panel. I believe somebody’s been taken in by fake news or at least an elaborate ruse.

If the cops need a hand, they can ask. A few tens of thousands of us would show up in our mid-sized town.

You'll be needed. Don't know how we're going to dodge what is coming and what has already been done. Stay focused uncle Miltie.

Nothing sticks out more than a beatup Corvair Van

It’s called “black bloc” tactics, I learned them like the back of my hand 30 years ago from friends who were in 3rd generation Communist families, and watched it play out in real life many times.

I know the book better and for longer than those ANTIFA punks who are executing it right now.

The easy solution is for the cops always to go for the white participants first. My particular recommendation is to target the prettiest white girls in the mix first with heavy amounts of pepper spray (right in the mouth and eyes ideal) and/or other unforgettable experience.

"The Democrats are all-in with these guys. It’s an organized insurrection all right."

Cut off the smake's head. Don't mess with the tail.

Welcome to the third world:

The revolutionaries are looting the middle class out of existence.

The peaceful protesters - no jobs, so this is their only outlet to make them feel like they’re accomplishing anything. No future - How many of them, looking around now, want to actually work for a living, knowing it could all go up in smoke in a day.

The small businesses - why rebuild when there are no protections, no respect for private property.

So what’s left?

The poorest-of-the-poor: always there

The richest of the rich - always there.

I had to look that one up. You are right - that's exactly what's been going on.

Radical, anarcho-communist tactics.

Let’s see how long you last.

This is the equivalent of the 1905 Russian Revolution.

It still took another 12 years for the Bolshies to acheive final victory, but they are on their way.

We are in a war and need to just accept it. The Democrat party is now a terrorist organization. They are absolutely behind this.

It’s the Left’s Tet Offensive.

They are going all-in. They are using all their accumulated finances, gear, people. They are showing their organizational structures. They are using all they have to win their objective.

What is their objective? The defeat of Donald Trump.

In furtherance of this objective, they wish to impoverish the middle class business owners who comprise an important part of Trump’s base, and who provide a good part of Trump’s grass roots organization.

The white Antifas are the people organizing things, and the conduits for the finance. Take them out.

That’s what I thought - that’s a really nice van, considering.
