"Back The Blue" Attacks Black Lives Matter In Fort Collins

This is video we were forwarded from several social media sources of an attack [Saturday] afternoon on a group of protesters in Fort Collins, as competing Black Lives Matter and Back The Blue rallies took place at different locations in the city. The violent assault on a group of protesters you can see in the video above reportedly took place just a few blocks from Fort Collins Police Department headquarters, after the BLM protesters were forced back into what looks like an area of open space, pushed down into a ditch of some kind, and attacked by a crew of very large white menthe ones wearing shirts sporting pro-Donald Trump and pro-police attire.
About 20 seconds into the video, just before the assault, local fascist Proud Boy leader Louie Huey tells the camera that he is there to march these commie Antifa bastards out of the neighborhood. Its the first weve seen of Louie Huey since he showed off his rubber bullet wounds after a night of provocateur violence he participated in early in the George Floyd protests.
There has been very little press coverage of this incident so far, but we expect that to change once this horrific video gets out into the wild. The violence in this clip is much more severe and more prolonged than similarly shocking video out of rural Teller County a few weeks ago showing right-wing protesters attacking a car caravan protest. There can be no question from what weve seen of who the aggressors were. Despite this, the unconfirmed report we have from yesterday is that just like in Teller County, none of the pro-police protesters you can see assaulting people in this video were arrested.

(35,816 posts)In Florida, Attorney General Ashley Moody's -- from UF's Levin College of Law and stinky panhandle paper mill town, Plant City -- Back the Blue campaign, as she says, " highlights law enforcement officers, citizens and organizations taking extraordinary steps to forge positive relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve."
Uniformed and plainclothes Gestapo are the new KKK.

(35,816 posts)The Back the Blue Act introduced by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas). The ACLU opposes their S. 1134 and H.R. 2253 bills. I could be wrong, but don't believe either version passed.
The Back the Blue Act would make any assault on an officer a federal crime with a mandatory minimum sentence. But heres the thing: assaulting a police officer is already a crime in every state and already carries strict penalties set by local legislatures.
The bill is a national policy to nationally validate by law the encouraging of more violence from its NAZI white supremacist backers.
No wonder the Police union building in Portland was set on fire.

I'd say Louie Huey and his brownshirt 'proud boys' are the ones that need to be marched out of this state.
You hear that Louie???? FUCK you AND your disgusting PIECE OF SHIT nazi followers. FUCK YOU. You're just like the skinking shit-bag Hitler brownshirts beating people up in the streets, and you are a piece of human excrement.
Fucking asshole.

The only difference is the color.

(7,369 posts)All that primate posturing can't disguise the fact that they only act when they have the guns and numbers against peaceful protesters. When those conditions are not in evidence, they are little boys crying inside, frozen, absolutely full of fear. Unloved, untaught, uncultured, unready for any kind of future. They cannot survive and they know it. These years are full of panic for them.
They claim these small 'victories' on a path to their own decay and destruction. They punch women in the face and point their AR's at weaponless students but cannot survive an actual conflict because they are unable to strategize or parse information. They do not read. They cannot grow.
They are utterly dependent for survival on the people they hate the most -- leave them to fend for themselves in a paradise and they're all dead inside a generation or two. There is no escaping the effect of that awful simian programming. Without us, they return to dust.
The ass-end of the human race, on their way out the door. Lords of the Flies. And they know it, deep down.
