PBS Reporter Calls Rioting “Almost Festival Like”

The legacy media is still at it. 

Everyone knows that for four days unhinged leftists and criminal opportunists caused anarchy in LA, rioting, attacking police and looting stores. Yet the media is still proclaiming everything is not only peaceful, but happy and joyful.

They’ve had reporters on the ground standing in front of burning cars with explosions going off around them while claiming it’s all ‘mostly peaceful’, ‘fun’, ‘joyful’, ‘pretty quiet’, ‘relatively mellow’, ‘celebratory’ and all about ‘hope and community’.

Now here’s the latest from PBS. It’s “almost festival like” while flashbangs explode right next to this moron.

Note how they always say “almost.” 

It’s almost festival like, but not quite because of all the burning cars, assaults and looting.

Florida sheriff warns anti-ICE protesters ‘we will kill you’ if you so much as ‘throw a brick’

A Florida Sheriff delivered a stern warning to anyone planning protests against ICE or President Trump — threatening to respond to violence with deadly force.

“If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We’re not going to play,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said Thursday.

“If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave in our county, you’re most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street,” the Republican sheriff said during the immigration news conference.

“If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital, then jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital, jail, and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs we have here,” Ivey warned.

The sheriff’s deadly declaration comes as a slew of anti-Trump and anti-ICE protests are expected to continue across the nation this weekend.

Is a Civil Conflict Looming? 1500 Protests Planned for Saturday in Support of Illegal Aliens

NoKings.org has emerged as a highly controversial website that has gained significant attention online. Notably, it appears to be facilitating organized protests and confrontations across major and minor cities throughout the United States and extending into Mexico. This platform has been hosted by GoDaddy, a web development service that has previously faced criticism for denying hosting services to numerous conservative websites.

The site allows users to input their zip code, subsequently providing access to Zoom meetings with local riot coordinators. Additionally, there are larger Zoom sessions featuring national Democratic leaders who outline strategies for resisting law enforcement and provide guidance on how to navigate legal frameworks. Within these local meetings, participants receive explicit instructions on what supplies to bring, including gas masks, radios, ropes for circumventing police lines, first aid kits, megaphones, and even advice on acquiring fireworks.

They also suggest using Vaseline as a protective barrier against chemical irritants. Participants are encouraged to look on Craigslist for financial compensation as “contractors,” with the implication that they should possess a certain toughness and resilience under pressure. Discussions in private chat groups have even included the use of box cutters for slashing tires.

This situation represents a profound challenge to the fabric of our nation. It raises critical questions about why major tech companies, including Google, are permitting such activities to persist. The identity of the website’s owner remains undisclosed, adding to the concerns surrounding its operations.

A forthcoming Zoom meeting is scheduled for June 16th, with an expectation that discussions will continue for over 24 hours. The invitation states, “Join us Monday, June 16th, to debrief and discuss strategies for the next confrontation.” The phrase “next confrontation” suggests a readiness to engage in violence, raising alarms about the motivations behind recruiting individuals described as “badass.”

Missouri governor activates National Guard, declares state of emergency

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) on Thursday declared a state of emergency and activated the state’s National Guard in anticipation of protests across the state — and in response to “civil unrest” across the country.

Missouri Executive Order 25-25 declares a State of Emergency and allows the Adjutant General to order service members to aid state officials.

The order comes after the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri National Guard and Missouri Department of Public Safety established a Unified Command to monitor situations across the state and prepare local law enforcement.

Additionally, the order also declares that the Adjutant General may employ necessary equipment to support authorities and provide assistance.

While nationwide protests continue to flare up in response to the Trump administration’s immigration policies, Kehoe said his order is purely precautionary.

“We respect, and will defend, the right to peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence or lawlessness in our state,” the governor said.

“While other states may wait for chaos to ensue, the State of Missouri is taking a proactive approach in the event that assistance is needed to support local law enforcement in protecting our citizens and communities,” he added.

‘No Kings’ Nationwide Protest Theme Is An Antifa Dog Whistle

Indivisible, the progressive group of political agitators with chapters across the country, doesn’t want Americans enjoying Saturday’s Washington, D.C., parade celebrating the milestone 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. The group instead wants the spotlight firmly on their political agenda: anarchy.

Indivisible was behind the May 5 “Hands off” protests at many Tesla dealerships.

Saturday’s planned protest has a new theme, “No Kings.” It is a dog whistle that calls out Antifa, according to Kyle Shideler, director and senior analyst for homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy.

“No Gods, no kings,” or sometimes, “No Gods, no masters,” are common anarchist or anti-fascist slogans, Shideler told The Federalist.  

On the surface, Indivisible advertises for a peaceful protest. “A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action,” the Indivisible website advises. But the name of the event calls out to Antifa, practically inviting them to attend the protests and shake things up.    

Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is a movement of many groups that engage in militant action against people they view as fascists.

“They have a long history of being the street muscle at protests,” Shideler said. “They are the ones who form the black blocs that are going to do the fighting with the cops and with counter protests, and their goal is to shut down people who they view as fascists.”

Indivisible people are not Antifa, Shideler said, “But they are sort of winking at the recognition that that these guys are out there and they’re going to do things that are a little bit more hardcore.”

In the Hands Off protests, Indivisible had a map of protest locations and times, many at Tesla dealerships.

Dozens Of Journalists Targeted, Shot, Detained While Covering LA Protests, Press Org Says

Shocking video and photos taken amid the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles show journalists and news crews being shot, detained and forced off public property by law enforcement, raising concerns of excessive force and First Amendment rights violations.

There have been more than 30 incidents of police violence against journalists as of Tuesday, including 20 injuries, at least five of which required emergency room or urgent care visits, said Adam Rose, the press rights chair with the Los Angeles Press Club, which released a statement Monday urging an end to the targeting of journalists whose work is constitutionally protected.

The list of injuries includes a freelance photojournalist requiring emergency surgery Sunday night after being shot in the leg with a three-inch piece of plastic that he believes was designed to be shot and explode above a crowd.

Graphic photos shared with HuffPost show a gaping wound in Nick Stern’s right thigh that he said has left him unable to walk or move without assistance.

“Why this device was shot at human, kind of, waist high level, I do not know. The people around me at that time was doing nothing more than waving Mexican flags,” he told HuffPost.

Stern, who said he has three decades of experience photographing public protests, including in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the George Floyd protests in 2020, expressed concern that people may die from the excessive use of force that he witnessed and experienced firsthand.

“I never thought for one moment that I’d actually have to be fearful of law enforcement during a public protest but that seems to be where the danger to journalists comes from,” he said.

CNN Proudly Brags That The Mexican flag Has Become “A Defining Symbol” Of LA Riots

CNN declared Tuesday that the Mexican flag is now “a defining symbol” of what it continues to describe as “peaceful protests” across Los Angeles.

The propaganda piece asserts that those involved are using the flag to “express solidarity with immigrants and denounce the Trump administration’s raids.”

It also proclaims that “the waving of foreign flags speaks to the generations of people from Mexico and other Latin American countries who have called the US, and particularly California, home.”

The piece quotes a UCLA professor claiming 

“The flags mean their families. The flags mean their communities. It’s not about having an international invasion.”

Yeah. It kinda looked a lot like an invasion.

CNN potato Brian Stelter repeated this guff about it being a “community” thing.

ANOTHER HOAX: DHS Releases Footage of Agents Arresting “Violent Rioter who Punched a CBP Officer” After ICE Agents Falsely Accused of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Hit-and-Run, and Fleeing the Scene

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday released footage of agents arresting Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho, a Los Angeles rioter accused of punching a Border Patrol agent. 

Before DHS released the footage, agents were accused by the leftist media of assaulting the driver of a vehicle with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run after ICE agents “fled the scene.” Local police apparently investigated the incident.

Newsweek reported,

Authorities are investigating a Wednesday morning crash in Los Angeles’ Boyle Heights neighborhood as a possible assault with a deadly weapon involving federal agents who allegedly fled the scene, according to KABC.

Many details about the incident remained unreleased to the public as of Wednesday afternoon. Police have not confirmed which agency the involved agents represent or whether their presence in Los Angeles has anything to do with the ongoing protests over President Donald Trump‘s immigration policy.

The incident occurred around 10:47 a.m. local time in the 3700 block of Whittier Boulevard, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told KABC. No serious injuries were reported.

Local ABC7 parroted the narrative that ICE agents were involved in the “accident” and “fled the scene” on live TV.

Civil War 2.0?

Democrats have a long history of inciting violence. Examples abound, from starting the Civil War, to forming the KKK, to violently resisting school integration, to the Michael Brown and George Floyd riots, to the current anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Democrat-run cities are typically the most dangerous, poorly run environs in the U.S., and when you push the oppressor/victim narrative across the media landscape, violence gets put on the menu.

Their rhetoric ramped up during Trump 45’s administration when Democrat politicians and celebrities openly called for violence against President Trump and Republicans, even while accusing Republicans of being aggressors. And when their unhinged followers heed their suggestions, Democrats always claim to abhor violence. I heard it myself last night. I mentioned the protestors throwing bricks at federal officers, and a dinner companion said, “Well, you can only push people so far.”

Perhaps we should ask the parents of Laken Riley, Kate Steinle, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray how far they’ve been pushed.

The unrest in L.A. began when ICE arrested 40 individuals who were wanted on various charges. This prompted protests that quickly escalated into violence, including attacks on federal officers. One report suggested that the riots might be government-funded, pointing to ties with radical, left-wing organizations and NGOs, some of which allegedly receive taxpayer dollars. This seems plausible, as the Democrat party leadership has a historical opposition to ICE and openly supports sanctuary city policies.

Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.’s vice-presidential pick, echoed this sentiment, alleging a “CIA/Deep State” involvement in using violent migrants to target federal law enforcement, a claim that aligns with narratives of orchestrated chaos.

LA mayor Karen Bass and California governor Gavin Newsom have been labeled as “incompetent” as they remained inactive while riots persisted. This possibly suggests a tacit endorsement of the protests, perhaps as a way to challenge federal authority under a Republican administration.

FBI Arrests Driver Who Went Viral for Delivering “Bionic Shield” Face Masks to LA Rioters in Early Morning Sting

The FBI arrested the man who went viral last week for distributing what appeared to be military-grade “bionic shield” face masks to violent demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles.

“ARRESTED: Alejandro Theodoro Orellana was arrested this morning by FBI Los Angeles on an allegation of Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders (18 USC 371) for distributing face shields to suspected rioters on Tuesday. We are moving quickly to identify and arrest those involved in organizing and/or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles,” U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said in a statement.

The suspect has been identified as Alejandro Orellana, an alleged member of the Brown Berets, a radical Chicano nationalist paramilitary organization with ties to far-left revolutionary groups.

The group, long known for its anti-police rhetoric and militant activism, has reportedly embedded operatives in several major U.S. cities.

On June 9, local reporter Elex Michaelson of FOX LA captured the moment protesters swarmed the trucks to grab the gear, noting, “It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?”
