The Left Caused This

They propped up BLM. They propped up Antifa.

These are both dangerous terrorist organizations, bent on destruction of our cities and our way of life. They both hate the police and want to bring them down.

And the left went after the police too with the #DefundThePolice movement. This gave these groups more reason to attack police. The results are hardly surprising.

Number Of Police Officers Shot, Killed In Line Of Duty Hits New High | The Daily Wire

The number of police shot and killed in the line of duty has reached a new high, according to statistics from the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).

“[A]s of midnight on 30 November, there have been 314 officers shot in the line of duty this year. Of those officers shot, 58 of them were killed by gunfire,” the FOP stated in a presentation on monthly statistics of shootings of police.

“There have been 95 ambush-style attacks on law enforcement officers this year,” the report continued, adding that that number is more than double the number of ambush-style attacks in 2020. Those attacks resulted in 119 officers shot, with 28 fatalities, the FOP noted.

The number of both officers shot and officers killed have already surpassed the numbers from 2020 and 2019, with a month still left in 2021. In the full year of 2020, 312 officers were shot in the line of duty, with 47 killed. In 2019, 293 officers were shot, with 50 dead.

The left caused this. They cannot be allowed to run this country any longer. They are destroying it, and you’d have a hard time convincing me at this point that it’s even accidental.

BTW, This Is What ”Domestic Terrorism” and ”Insurrection” Look Like

Ax-Wielding Antifa Member Attacks GOP Senator's Office, Dems Give Him Money, FBI Returns Ax – PJ Media

Far-left miscreant Thomas Alexander Starks, 31, of Lisbon, North Dakota, pleaded guilty to destruction of government property last April. Starks brought an ax to Sen. John Hoeven’s office in Fargo on December 21, 2020, and smashed  an intercom and glass door. The attack was captured on video.

Federal guidelines suggested Starks should spend 10–16 months in the hoosegow, but because he is a protected member of Antifa, he was sentenced to mere probation and ordered to pay $2,784 in restitution.

He even got his axe back.

Meanwhile, the “QAnon Shaman” got 41 months in prison. Meanwhile, there are plenty still languishing in jail, wondering if they’ll ever get their day in court.

Because So Far, They’re Only Attacking a Certain Kind of Journalist

Why isn't the media more upset about Antifa's attacks on journalists? – HotAir

Often Antifa’s violence seems to be covered without condemnation by journalists, some of whom (Chris Cuomo comes to mind) have actively defended the group in the past while pretending that violence and destruction just sometimes happen and aren’t the group’s foundational principles.

The media tends to be less willing to condemn Antifa’s violence against journalists if the journalists themselves aren’t left wing. So when Andy Ngo gets beaten and put in the hospital CNN is suddenly not sure who is responsible despite video of black bloc people punching him. And later, when there is graffiti in Portland calling for Ngo’s murder, the major media doesn’t mention it at all. Any time a crowd of Trump fans jeered at CNN it was considered newsworthy but if a group of violent anarchists who previously put a right-leaning reporter in the hospital now say they want him dead, it’s crickets.

Liberals are disgusting people.

This is what liberals mean by “tolerance” and “understanding”. Oh, and of course, “anti-fascism”.

The Disaster that is Portland, OR

Rioters Smash Windows, Force Businesses To Board Up In Downtown Portland | The Daily Wire

Although coverage of ongoing unrest in Portland has largely dropped off, the far-left protests have not abated. On the day President Joe Biden was inaugurated, suspected “anti-fascists” vandalized the city’s Democratic party headquarters, and just last month, Federal agents were called in to defend an ICE facility there. They tangled with rioters and, eventually, were forced to deploy non-lethal means of crowd control, including tear gas.

I’m sure it’s all President Donald Trump’s (R-USA) fault.

“We have removed everything that could possibly cause damage tonight,” one business owner told local media. “When these people come through, and we’ve lost an entire day of business which means that’s impacting my team member’s wages. This has been going on for nine months. Where are our resources? When do we get enough resources to finally go after and fix this?”

Defunded Portland Police Can't Handle Shootings and Antifa – PJ Media

On Saturday night, a mob of antifa rioters ravaged the Pearl District of Portland, smashing windows and spray-painting anti-police messages on businesses, including a Safeway, a Starbucks, and a Chipotle, among others. Police resources to deal with the riot had been strained by multiple shootings in the city that same evening.

Beirut sounds like a safer place to live.

Overnight, #antifa destroyed numerous businesses in Portland's Pearl District as part of a pre-planned riot. People were inside this Chipotle at 1201 NW Lovejoy when antifa attacked the building. Watch this video with sound on. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/2LfMAaSrjy

Oddly, no screams from the Democrats this morning about how awful this is.

Michael Steeber of 9t05Mac doesn’t appear to get it:

This is an extremely grim look IMO, and arguably worse optics than staying closed altogether for a little while longer. It implies that the community is a threat. https://t.co/kt4nmRVieB

“It implies that the community is a threat.”

Sorry, Michael. The community is a threat. Not just to Apple, but all businesses and people in the area. And none of that is going away until everyone faces up to it and is willing to do something about it. Apple donated to the organizations that destroyed their store. What kind of idiocy is this?

The core area of downtown – city hall, government buildings, including the state and the notoriously attacked federal courthouses – are still boarded up. The second-story windows at city hall are covered with Black Lives Matter signs.

Across the street, statues have been wrecked and removed, and nearby high rises are closed. A 7-Eleven is boarded up and outfitted with Black Lives Matter signs, as well.

I know I’ve said this before, but Portland used to be such a delightful city. A true treasure of the western U.S.

Seeing all this makes me sad.

Seeing the Democrats turn a blind eye to it, or even support the people that have made this happen makes me mad.

Liberals are destroying America. And they’re not even bothering to hide it or to do it slowly anymore.

We Had the Media and the Left Egg This on for Months

Look at this graph.

Their incitement led to a murder spree on a national scale.

And yet President Donald Trump (R-USA) gets impeached for complaining about election results.

Every Democrat in Washington, D.C. was complicit in this, including our newly elected President. They are all horrible, horrible people.

And this is Why I Really Just Don’t Care About the Capitol Riot

A mob of left-wing radicals armed with hatchets and knives took over a Washington hotel on Sunday -- wait, the corporate media didn't tell you?? | Not the Bee

This really happened. A literal mob of dozens of Antifa neckbeards armed with hatchets, knives, and batons stormed the Red Lion Hotel in Olympia, Washington on Sunday, and forcibly took it over. With weapons. And threats of violence.

The #antifa protesting police trying to secure a hotel in Olympia, Wash. that was sieged by their comrades shout: “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon.” The chant refers to killing cops.

I’m just numb to media bias.

Report: Armed Antifa Members Violently Took Over a Hotel by Katie Pavlich (townhall.com)

Should be international news:

An #antifa group sieged a Red Lion hotel in Olympia, WA, forcing staff to flee for their lives & guests in 40 rooms had to shelter in place. The antifa brought hatchets, knives & other weapons to the siege. City statement: https://t.co/dBAYoxqTEP pic.twitter.com/5s0LTo5BU8

This is what one of the local #antifa leaders is saying.

Ryan Endicott, aka “Arrow,” organized a similar siege in nearby Fife, Wash. in December. It did not get much media attention at time & reporters ignored the antifa ties. Look at Endicott’s forearm. https://t.co/QKfuNi1YbN pic.twitter.com/ZqjuxJL0bb

Seems like this should be a big deal. But at least they’re not wearing moose hats and stealing podiums.
