'Something's going on here and it's much bigger than people think'
2020-08-30
[American Thinker] Following the conclusion of the Republican National Convention, the far left's "fiery but peaceful" protestors had a pretty disgusting plan: instead of just yelling at the top of their lungs from the outside, or attempting to disrupt the convention from the inside, or burning and looting nearby shops to give the whole thing a bad public relations odor, they decided to physically attack Republicans as they exited the convention. That was the plan.

They certainly attacked random nobodies exiting the front, but when Sen. Rand Paul attempted to get to his hotel two blocks away on foot after waiting 45 minutes at the wrong hotel, the mobs recognized him and got really excited, first swarming him and his wife in a group of 30, and then swelling to 60, and then to a 120-sized turba mob. They made lunging attacks at the senator and his luckily spotted police escort who were trying to protect Paul and his wife and deflect the "protesters."

It was a travesty. Paul described it very well.

Some excerpts: "We cannot go outside now, it's too dangerous."

"The United States is going to become Portland."

"We'll eff you up."

"This is happening in all our cities, thank God for the police."

"I want to live the life of a normal person, where I go to the grocery store and buy groceries, or stop at the Minute-Mart."

Paul's most important statement came here:

"This also is not normal. There's something ... going on here. This is like, the FBI needs to be involved."

#7  these mobs aren't interested in reform. They want to tear the whole edifice down, and some huge billionaires are behind them.

Bingo! Strange but the Dems don't seem to have the problems that Paul and his wife had. You don't suppose the Dems are behind these rioters?

#6  Both the rioters and federal government want Trump out. Reason enough for them to work together.

#5  The BLM-directed and inspired violence incl targeted assassinations of cops began more than 5 yrs ago, under Obama.. see the mass shooting of five cops in downtown Dallas in summer of 2015 for ex.

Also the targeted killings of the two cops in Brooklyn around the same time. This has nothing to do w Trump. All part of the BLM plan in 2013

#4  I’ve read that for some time the FBI have been instructed not to look for terrorism on the Left, as the risks are on the Right and among jihadis. And it wasn’t until current events that it’s changed even somewhat.

#3  FBI should have been involved six years ago.

They were too busy gearing up for Crossfire Hurricane...

#2  FBI should have been involved six years ago.

BLM has been from inception a radical Marxist revolutionary organization that aims to overthrow the state. Their intentions have always been clear. Same for the white punks and psychos who make up Antifa
