    EGGzackly..... and if you irked them, they might expand the zone to include your block.

    I think this is also why the media tends to coddle them ---- they know full well these idiots are not above vandalizing their news trucks, or assaulting them, or getting even somehow.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Even MSM reporters and not just those from Fox were often targeted by the Occupy hooligans back when they had their encampments

          • So is this how crime investigation will be handled by the people once they ban the police?

            Mob Torches Home Rumored To Be Linked To Missing Girls, Attack Police Who Respond

            Milwaukee, WI – Chaos erupted outside a Milwaukee home on Tuesday as anti-police protesters hurled bricks at officers who were trying to investigate the disappearance of two teenage girls.

            At one point, the unruly mob tried to handle the matter themselves by barging into residences to search for the teens, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

            Hundreds of people had converged in the area by the time the group set a nearby home and vehicle ablaze.

            As firefighters battled the flames, two 14-year-olds were shot in altercations that didn’t involve police, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

            The investigation into the whereabouts of the missing girls – ages 13 and 15 – began on Monday, after Milwaukee police learned that the teens hadn’t been seen since Sunday, Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales said during a press conference.

            Officers responded to the home multiple times on both Monday and Tuesday, but were unable to locate the missing girls, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

            A group of people showed up at the residence to search for the teens themselves at approximately 10 a.m. on Tuesday, at which point police were requested to help handle a “trouble with subject” call at that location, Chief Morales said.

            They checked the home for the girls once again, but they were nowhere to be found.

            After they left the scene, the group of people tried to force their way inside the residence, resulting in someone inside opening fire, according to Chief Morales.

            Police responded to the home again and confirmed that no one was injured in the “exchange of gunfire,” he said.

            By that time, a crowd of onlookers began to gather outside the residence.

            Additional officers responded to the scene as the mob started hurling bricks at police, Chief Morales said.

            The unruly mob swelled to hundreds of people by mid-afternoon, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

            As many as 20 officers formed a line to hold the crowd back in order for police inside the home to complete their investigation.

            Police left the scene once the investigators’ work was finished.

            After they were gone, the mob took it upon themselves to break into the home to look for evidence to support rumors that the missing girls were possibly victims of a sex trafficking ring, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

            They also smashed out the windows of a vehicle parked outside the house.

            Meanwhile, other members of the group fanned out to search for the teens in nearby homes, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

            Milwaukee police again responded to the area – this time dressed in crowd control gear – and formed lines around the initial home and on nearby streets.

            The mob ultimately torched a home, a couch, and a vehicle, prompting fire crews to respond to the scene at approximately 5:45 p.m., Chief Morales said.

            While the firefighters fought the blaze and police tried to hold the crowd back, gunshots rang out.

            A boy and a girl, both of whom are 14 years old, suffered non-life threatening wounds during the shooting.

            Chief Morales noted that police were not the ones who shot the teens, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.


            Milwaukee police used pepper spray, rubber projectiles and tear gas to disperse the rioters so they could reach one of the wounded shooting victims.

            “We had to go out there and now do a rescue in the middle of an angry crowd,” Chief Morales told reporters.

            Members of the crowd continued to hurl bricks and other objects at firefighters and police as the mayhem continued.

            Livestream videos showed volunteer medics tending to injured rioters, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

            Shortly after 7 p.m., local protest organizer Frank Sensabaugh led a march guiding people away from the fiery chaos.

            A line of vehicles followed behind him, as well as a small group of protesters, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

            Shots rang out again at approximately 7:30 p.m., and investigators learned that someone had fired bullets at a vehicle.

            A 24-year-old man was wounded in the attack, but his injuries were non-life threatening and he refused medical treatment, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

            Although local news stations reported that the missing teenage girls had been found safe, Chief Morales said that police are still searching for one of the girls.

            • That's like the guy who showed up at the Pizzagate restaurant and fired a gun inside. At least that guy was willing to give himself up once he realized he was wrong.

                  That was one of the dumbest conspiracy theories I've ever heard of.

                    Or Floyd Corkins II who, thanks to the Southern Poverty Law Center who proclaimed that the Family Research Council (a mainstream conservative think tank founded by James Dobson) a "hate group" on par with Aryan Nations, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Stormfront and the Westboro Baptist Church, walked into there Washington D.C. headquarters in 2012 and opened fire. Fortunately only one person was injured.

                    Corkins, a gay activist who volunteered at a LGBT community center, told the FBI agent interviewing him that he picked the FRC to attack because they were on the SPLC's list of anti-gay "hate groups."



                    The SPLC strenuously defended their actions because, get this, the FRC takes a political stance that they disagree with. That was enough to earn them being listed as a hate group. Meanwhile groups like Black Lives Matter chant things like "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!" and "What do we want? Dead cops!" at their protests but the SPLC sees nothing wrong with that and even say they are merely "activists for racial justice." This is one of the reasons why the SPLC has lost credibility even including among many liberals.



                    ETA: Sorry, kinda veered off track there.

                    The point is that in societies that have experienced such breakdowns the rise of vigilantes is almost inevitable.

                    • Oops. Summer of Love is turning into summer of lawsuits for Seattle's Mayor.

                      Keeps getting worse and WORSE: Sounds like SERIOUS legal trouble for Mayor Jenny Durkan and her ‘block party’ aka CHOP


                      Remember when Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan told America CHOP/CHAZ was just like a block party and compared it to a summer of love? Then she snarked at Trump when he offered to send help and told him not to be afraid of a Democracy?

                      Good times.

                      Seems that ‘Democracy/Summer of Love/Block Party’ is getting her and the City of Seattle into some serious legal trouble:

                      DEVELOPING: More than a dozen businesses inside CHOP zone, on Seattle's Capitol Hill, file 56-page class action lawsuit against the City of Seattle. They're seeking unspecified damages, to be determined at trial. https://twitter.com/PrestonTVNews/st...03772607508486

                          • More 'peace' broke out last night in CHOP.

                            Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8471219/One-man-dead-wounded-Seattle-CHOP-zone-shooting.html?ito=facebook_share_article-home



                            Seattle CHOP zone armed 'security' killed black teen driver, 16, and wound 14-year-old passenger when they opened fire on their Jeep as it approached barricades at 3am - but protesters inside cop-free area claim they acted in self-defense


                            A 16-year-old boy died and a 14-year-old boy was wounded after being shot at Seattle's CHOP zone Monday
                            Police said they are investigating after witnesses reported seeing a white Jeep SUV near a makeshift barrier around the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone at about 3am on Monday just before the shooting
                            Witnesses told 911 dispatchers that they saw several unidentified people firing shots into the Jeep, police say
                            Both teenagers, who have not been publicly identified, were taken to the Harborview Medical Center in a private vehicle by people who identified themselves as 'CHOP medics'
                            The older boy died several hours later and police said the 14-year-old remains in a critical condition
                            Detectives searched the vehicle for evidence on Monday morning but said in a statement that it was clear the crime scene had been 'disturbed'
                            Demonstrators have occupied several blocks around the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct for about two weeks
                            Protesters have claimed the shooting unfolded only after the vehicle plowed into the CHOP zone and those inside the car started shooting
                            Those inside the zone say CHOP security, who are self-appointed and heavily armed, then returned fire

                            They just shot and killed a black teen. Where is the outrage? The protests? The demonstrators demanding "no justice, no peace" and demanding the removal of the CHOP zone and arrests? Where is the MSM? Why aren't they reporting this? The only people reporting this are smaller news sites and conservative sites. Nothing on CNN, CBS, NBC, etc.
