As the saying goes “Your rights end at the tip of my nose.”
When it comes to mob violence disguised as “free speech”, that line gets moved a little further away from the potential victim.
Photo captures man flashing gun at protesters in CWE
St. Louis police were called to Maryland Avenue and Euclid in the Central West End around 8:45 pm Wednesday night, after receiving a call for a person struck.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch photographer David Carson was at scene and captured a man with a gun inside the vehicle flashing his weapon at demonstrators marching toward the Chase Park Plaza.
Witnesses say the minivan the man was in hit one of the protesters in the intersection.
Police arriving on scene stop protesters from climbing onto the minivan.
Around 200 protesters were marching at the time in response to no indictment against a New York police officer accused of using a choke hold to kill an unarmed African-American male being questioned about selling loose cigarettes.
FOX 2 reporter Shawndrea Thomas reports emotions were running high at the time in the Central West End, with police blocking intersections for protesters to use safely. Traffic in the area was congested for a short time during the demonstration, but has since returned to normal.
Its not known if the man who flashed the gun was arrested or facing any charges.
So, almost that entire story is a lie that anyone not attempting to paint the protesters as victims or gun owners as lunatics could figure out after seeing said picture.
I see a person whose car was stormed by protesters defending himself.
Anyone who didn’t see this (both someone having to brandish their firearm to stop from being assaulted by protesters and/or the media’s reaction) happening sooner rather than later is deluding themselves.
I see good finger control, a phone out to record his attackers and/or phone 911. So, other than the media’s agenda-pushing, what’s the problem?
“So, other than the media’s agenda-pushing, what’s the problem?”
Apparently someone never got the progressive memo(s). A- you’re not supposed to use a gun for self-defense. B- use of violence to defend oneself from violence is not allowed. In case you’re violently attacked, you’re supposed to see there and take it. Reginald Denny is the model to follow in this case. C- any violence done in connection with a progressive protest is not done by those attending and supporting said progressive protest, but are either agents provocateur working on behalf of the police/FBI/CIA/Illuminati/(insert conspiracy whargarbl here), or other outside agitators.
You can already see the villianization go up on the other side upon see this guy.
White guy? Check.
Has gun? Check.
Initiated violence not in support of a liberal cause? Check.
Looks too clean-cut/well-dressed? Check.
Drives a mini-van or SUV? Check. OK, check’s complete, BEGIN THE TWO-MINUTE HATE!!!!
Apparently this man didn’t fancy ending up the same way that Bosnians in the area had been treated by black priviledge. If you don’t own a gun you deserve what you get. If you don’t carry or know how to use it, you deserve what you get.
Remember the government protected thoses businesses in Ferguson didn’t they?
