Jonestown Precinct

The New York Times is always the last to know.

Faizel Khan was being told by the news media and his own mayor that the protests in his hometown were peaceful, with “a block party atmosphere.”
 
But that was not what he saw through the windows of his Seattle coffee shop. He saw encampments overtaking the sidewalks. He saw roving bands of masked protesters smashing windows and looting.
 
Young white men wielding guns would harangue customers as well as Mr. Khan, a gay man of Middle Eastern descent who moved here from Texas so he could more comfortably be out. To get into his coffee shop, he sometimes had to seek the permission of self-appointed armed guards to cross a border they had erected.
 
“They barricaded us all in here,” Mr. Khan said. “And they were sitting in lawn chairs with guns.”

The same New York Times that “corrected” Tom Cotton’s op-ed.

And so are corporations.

  1. What I find amazing is that the business owners and others interviewed for this still can’t figure out who the enemy is. They act like it’s still the big bad conservatives and this peaceful protest just got a little out of hand. I’d bet they all think that with another go at it they’d do better next time.

    1. Yep and notice what race had the guns and the swipe at Texas for “obvious ” reasons. The NYT still is telling by inference how to hold onto the liberal narrative while you completely change your position. You and I know who has been rowing the peaceful protest boat for 2 months yet the Times has told the NPCs what to think and in a few days they will have complete amnesia and be absolutely convinced Trump was gaslighting them vs their own leadership. I am just waiting for this hilarious sound bite to be used as – Trump called the protests peaceful all along or something. http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=389529 That said I am enjoying this troll and also the Rudy (the war time consigliere) Giuliani letter to debate CCed former VP Joe Biden Basement Wilmington DE. Chuck Schumer is calling for sending the kids back to school as vital to the economy. That means the party will finally have to do something with Biden because you can’t send the kids back and still support Biden hiding.

  2. Hm….I will speculate. 1) The Dems realized their KK2 redux is backfiring and losing them votes 2) ANTIFA has not been respecting their set limits on what/who they commit their assaults on and have been hitting some Dem designated good guys who paid their extortion money and now said good guys are really pissed (oopsy!), 3) the Feds have some good information proving the Dems are directly involved in funding and directing ANTIFA activities and the New York Slime is preparing us for an alternative narrative before that news breaks. Possibly some combination thereof.

  3. This statement is of particular note. “He blamed the destruction and looting on “opportunists,” but also said that much of the damage on Capitol Hill came from a distinct contingent of violent, armed white activists. “It’s antifa,” he said. “They don’t want to see the progress we’ve made. They want chaos.”

    Note how New York Slimes is holding firm on the race baiting against Whites part of the narrative. All the bad people who did violent things were white. (~eye roll~) The BLM guys just provided “security” to prevent bad things from happening to the nice little businesses.

  4. Armed men for hire protecting those who can pay from lawless gangs — once again the end game of liberalism is law of the jungle.
    My big complaint is that when these self-blinded fools leave and move to a more conservative-voting jurisdiction in order to be able to live a more or less normal life, they will vote for the same dysfunctional nonsense that caused them to leave the previous jurisdiction in the first place.

    1. “they will vote for the same dysfunctional nonsense that caused them to leave the previous jurisdiction in the first place”

      Fact. And it’s been seen in Canada as well as the USA.

    2. DrD – “they will vote for the same dysfunctional nonsense that caused them to leave the previous jurisdiction in the first place.”

      The definition of INSANITY. They’re nuts. (Check out Pelosi’s eyes….no light, just fright. )

  5. Fighting between BLM and antifa needs to be encouraged! That would be an excellent outcome!

    1. Aye. Like George Jonas once said about how the West should deal with the packs of rabble in the Middle East: just keep supporting the underdog of the day.

  6. “An epic failure”: The first duty of police is to preserve life; through the Nova Scotia massacre, the RCMP saved no one July 18, 2020 By Paul Palango

    “…Several RCMP and law enforcement sources say that a corporal from a nearby detachment who was the initial supervisor on the scene froze in place to the distress of other Mounties. The corporal later ran into nearby woods and turned off their flashlight and hid. That officer continues to be off work on stress leave…”

    ————————————————————————————————————————————-
    L- A fed. police force, answering no longer to Parliament as a sign of political independence has become answerable to a Minister of the (Cult. Marxist) Trudeau regime.

    Not unlike the city gov’t. in the U.S. being controlled by Democrat mayors and ordering reductions in police budgets and/or ordering the police to stand down.

    Identity group politics over ride the Rule of Law now in some cases above and below the 49th. The Common-Law/Magna Carta principles slowly fading…

    1. Much like them military, if you can’t pull the trigger when it is needed then you should not be there.

  7. LOL…I see the NYTimes and Maureen Dowd are taking it on the chin over the last few hours. Hilarious.
    Dowd whining about how there hasn’t been a male/female President/VP ticket in 36 years, an obvious reference to Mondale/Ferraro, totally forgetting the Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine run a mere 4 years ago or the McCain/Palin run some years before that.

    The backpedaling is a sight to behold.

    1. “Mondale/Ferraro,” Yes! it was in 1984 that the MOB had tried to get into the WH (Ferraro)… But they settled for the Cuomo & SDNY combination….Nothing like Family connections

  8. (((To get into his coffee shop, he sometimes had to seek the permission of self-appointed armed guards to cross a border they had erected.)))

    This is a violation of the law….plain and simple. So I suppose I have a problem with law enforcement, who refused to arrest the perpetrators of this crime, which happened many, many thousand times across the country.

    Don’t believe me?

    “False imprisonment occurs when a person (who doesn’t have legal authority or justification) intentionally restrains another person’s ability to move freely. This can also be called unlawful imprisonment in the first degree and is detailed in the penal code for your state.”

    So, there are three issues here: 1. The absolute failure of law enforcement to enforce the law. 2. The pressuring of politicians to instruct law enforcement not to enforce the law. 3. A blatant violation of the Equal Protection Act by applying selective enforcement of the law based on race as well as political ideology.

    Were, I Mr. Khan, I’d sue all those parties and word the Summons and Complaint such that they would have coverage and immunity declined by the state and require the necessity to hire their own attorney to represent themselves on their own dime. It’s not difficult.

  9. In the Twatter remarks, some fascist idiot still thinks Antifa means “anti-fascist”.

  10. For those here in Portland the shutting down of the occupation at CHOP just sent them down here. The Mayor, after 70 days of riots is finally calling Antifa ” attempted murderers. ”

    Now that the Federal building isn’t a focus any longer they are picking out local police stations and support organizations to attack. At a recent attack an elderly woman with a walker tried to put out a fire set by Antifa and had her life threatened and white paint thrown in her face.

    24 people have been killed in Portland since June 1. Last year Portland only had 36 for the entire year. Many of the rioters who are arrested and then immediately let go have arrest records from Seattle and the CHOP zone.

    The only silver lining is the protestors who attacked the Federal building are getting charged with 5 to 20 year sentences in the charging documents. Arson, Attempted murder, Assault, Use of Explosive device, funding terrorism over state lines. The famous unmarked van arrests are the feds fugitive warrant squads who don’t use marked vehicles.

    Still unsafe to walk the streets. People have to live in fear of turning down the wrong street and being pulled out of their car and being attacked.

    1. Sadly your eyes on the ground reporting is better than anything I’ve seen anywhere else.

      Sorry you have to go through this.

      Do you think it is extreme incompetence, willful attempted cultural revolution by those living in a bubble or something else entirly?

  11. The irony for Democrats is that THEY are the enemy that ANTIFA & BLM are fighting against….Drill down and you will find that Democrat Social Engineering targets the Minority Communities….

    1. The White leadership BLM riot & burn & loot in the Minority (low Rent) communities…..The political goal of rebuilding those facilities with federal money is no longer feasible….Creates a lower class of Street People…

    2. Sin Taxes are beyond regressive…Tobacco taxes are mainly collected from those in Minority Communities & form a large part of the State & City taxation budget….Why is all that money spent on Civil service fake agendas for Minority Communities…. A circular dysfunctional vortex

    3. Traffic & Regulations …. Fines & licensing are TAXES… and minority communities complaints are valid because they can’t afford to pay….MADD is over-reach when enforced by deadly fire-power

    4 The Hispanic Illegal Alien problem in Democrat States will always provide an under-class without legal Status….Who would cut the Grass & provide Maid Services to the upper class Democrats…. Slavery is still practiced in the KKK States…

    The Democrats created all these problems & pretend to be the protectors of Minority Interests….Hmmmm

    JMHO

  12. Whats the problem, so now you have to pay “Protection Money” to roving gangs of thugs, you voted for it enjoy.

  13. The useful idiots of ANTIFA are slowly finding out that they are, indeed, idiots.

  14. Antifa, BLM and their ilk, need to be declared terrorist organizations, and be dealt with accordingly. That seems unlikely as they are useful to both US and Canadian swamps.

    As an aside, last week I wrote an opinion to the local rag about a four person idiot local demonstration in support of those thugs in Portland, that was noted in the paper the prior week. This paper that prints everything legit ever sent to them, did not print or even acknowledge my opinion letter.Yet they, the media, wring their hands over being called “Fake news”. Thank heaven for outlets like SDA and the Rebel.
