A travesty and a tragedy.

During a BLM “peaceful protest” in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 30 (over George Floyd’s dying of a heart attack while in police custody in Minneapolis), James Scurlock was peacefully protesting by breaking into an architecture firm — hoisting an office chair and hurling it into two computer monitors, then ripping a phone from a desk and throwing it against the wall, as his friend shattered another monitor — all of which was captured on video.
Nearby, Jake Gardner, an Iraq War veteran and Trump supporter, was keeping watch over the two bars he owned, The Hive and The Gatsby, aided by his 68-year-old father and a security guard. The peaceful protesters soon made their way to Jake’s bar, where they hurled a street sign through The Hive’s plate-glass window. He and his father rushed outside to prevent the peaceful protesters from storming his bar.
Scurlock’s friend, catching his wind after smashing computer monitors, knocked Gardner’s father to the ground. (It’s on tape.) Or as CNN’s Madeline Holcombe put it: “An unidentified man can be seen pushing Gardner’s father.”Gardner rushed to help his father, then backed away toward the bar, lifting his shirt to show the protesters he was armed, and telling them to move along. Again, it’s all on tape. Murmurings can be heard from the crowd: “That (expletive) got a gun” and “It’s not worth it (expletive) you stu–,”
At that point, peaceful protester Alayna Melendez leapt on Gardner from behind (not subscribers to the Marquess of Queensberry rules, these peaceful protesters), knocking him down and into the street, whereupon yet another peaceful protester jumped on top of Gardner, who fired two warning shots in the air, scattering his first two assailants. Again: all on tape.

Uhhhm....When did Ann jump on the train. I’d love to hug her.
Trump should pay for and attend his funeral; that would make the left go ballistic and impossible to hide and condemn. Just a thought.
Who is Ann Coulter? src
" Sadly, President Trump never said a word about his polite, cheerful supporter being railroaded in Omaha.
It’s cool now you know. A consensus of feminists apparently agree.
We are really really pissed in Omaha about this shit. I want to see a very vocal demonstration by law abiding, life respecting people here. When I heard of Jakes death I felt a real rage and anger unlike any I’d felt in a long time—if ever. At some effing point it is gonna be time for us hard working, tax paying citizens to kick some ass.
We have the 2nd Amendment to keep and bear arms; which amendment protects us once we exercise our 2nd Amendment right?
The one means nothing without the other.

I don't care about black lives matter whatsoever. Nada. Nothing. Zilch.
Obviously don’t warn, just shoot. At least you will live and the thugs will die.
Court happens...
This makes me so angry. I watched his attorneys press conference, they were so angry and let the media know it. They said he had gotten threats on social media. Somehow someone got his phone number he was getting death threats there too. The media reported he was going to be arrested. That was a lie. After hearing that he committed suicide. The media were still antagonist with their questions during the press conference.
He was a wounded vet who did 2 tours in Iraq. If I were his family I’d sue the media. This makes me want to cry.
We moved to papillion, which is outside Omaha city limits. The Omaha school system has been terrible for decades. Kids got away with violence and weren’t punished....here we are.
A travesty and an outrage, but once again Coulter can’t help taking a slap at President Trump for something the President had zero to do with. I do not like Coulter whether or not she writes something with which I agree. We expect way, way, WAY too much from our presidents.
WOW! Simply WOW!
What a travesty. We’ve become south Africa.
No he should not.
Heartbreaking and infuriating.
f#ck her. she’ll get no props from me, turncoat.
Why not? Did you understand about why it would drive the Demoncrats Crazy?

The AG initially refused to press charges, saying it was self-defense.
Then the leftist mob descended onto the DA's home, so then he caved and convened a grand-jury.
Instead of lawyering up, Gardener cooperated with the police. The DA was going to use that confession to (with a biased grand jury) to nail Gardner to the wall.
Gardener was facing at least 20 years in prison for manslaughter and aggravated assault. That's when he sadly committed suicide.
Look, I respect the cops, but you should NEVER cooperate with them in a case like this. Things are going to get ugly and if I'm defending myself and get hauled off to jail for questioning, I ain't saying s--t.
