Smacked down!
America finds itself at a crossroads. Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) Marxists have entrenched themselves in Democrat-run cities across the country, committing acts of violence on a nightly basis.
Their actions are not merely wrong. They are illegal.
And yet the reign of terror continues, thanks to a cabal of influential leftists (according to former 60 Minutes correspondent Laura Logan) and political weaklings who’ve kept police from responding with necessary force.
There are glimmers of hope amid the chaos. Patriots in the following cities have stemmed the rising left-wing violence. They have set an example big-city mayors could learn from — if they removed their heads from their derrieres.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania

By the time the first batch of alleged rioters were brought before him, Lancaster County District Judge Bruce Roth had enough, setting the bail for six of the eight suspects he had presided over Monday at $1 million.
The Keystone State’s top Democrats wasted no time criticizing Judge Roth’s rulings while all but ignoring the rioters’ actions.
Nashville, Tennessee
Around the same time that the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) began stinking up downtown Seattle, Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) supporters attempted to establish an illegal autonomous zone at the Tennessee State Capitol.
Fortunately, Tennessee isn’t Seattle, and Governor Bill Lee (R) promptly told the mob that intimidation and violence wouldn’t be tolerated.
Kalamazoo, Michigan

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau (uploaded by Chamber employee Lillie-Beth Brinkman [email protected]) via Wikimedia CommonsAfter the far-left criminal element further threatened the good people of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prate responded by charging violent offenders who participated in the initial wave of unrest with felony offenses of terrorism, rioting, and assault.
Prate had a clear message for any would-be thugs, “This is not Seattle. We’re not putting up with this lawlessness here.”
Fredericksburg, Virginia

Locals showed up en masse and outnumbered the left-wing agitators. They mocked them with “back the blue” chants, and the intimidated agitators peacefully retreated. All of these examples prove there’s a tried and true method to overcoming the far-left’s deplorable tactics.

They left out Couer d’Alene, Idaho where 1000 armed citizens came out to defend their stores and community. Seeing this, the Antifa crowd that arrived in white Mercedes vans with crowbars ready to start breaking windows, turned and left! Stand up America.
Several smaller towns in Washington state did the same. One town was protected by a motorcycle group, The Unchained Brotherhood of Christian bikers for 5 consecutive nights. they have no BLM in that town.
I was there! Have a little ranch southeast of CDA. So proud of all the folks that took a stand. I’m a disabled vet but was ready to take out more than my share of these communist scum. Oh, it’s usually spelled Coeur d’Alene. My winter residence, Scottsdale, AZ had one riot where Antifa and BLM tried to destroy Fashion Square (don’t believe George whats his name ever shopped there). Neiman Markus was their primary target. They tried to burn down Fifth Avenue (nearby shopping area) but shop owners and residents turned out in force to protect the area. I was there too. Scottsdale PD retreated, cowering behind their vehicles and watched along with the city leaders? Scottsdale is a sanctuary city along with Phoenix. Fortunately, we have had no repeat performance. I don’t look for trouble, it just seems to find me.
They shouldn’t be allowed to just leave! They should be arrested and charged with rioting or conspiracy to riot, after they’ve gotten their butts handed to them. The idea of playing nice with these revolutionaries and criminals is over
Police in Rockford Illinois didn’t just tell protesters to leave. They arrested nearly two dozen demonstrators.
I Say SHOOT the sob’s!!!!!
Then they should be fined and given mandatory long hours of community service.
Yep! And our cops were there along with them! We were NOT gonna have any part of it!!!!!! Semper Fi to our cops & Armed Citizens!!!!!!
All of these rioters just give me another reason to NEVER vote for a dem again. Both parties have their unsavory people, but the dems seem to accept this rioting behavior as acceptable.
How many of these were reported by MSM? Not even FOX reported on this.
The evidence of CONSPIRACY is complete
Hooray expand nationwide, awesome
Why didn’t they confiscate the Mercedes van which was used in the commission of a crime?
They left out Rockford Illinois. During a recent Back the Blue demonstration some BLM counter protests tried to break up the pro police demonstration but they were forced back by the Rockford police and the Winnebago County Sheriff’s police.
ANTIFA met resistance in Quitman, Mississippi, Butler AL, and Cicero Illinois, also. They were turned away to say the least.
