Neo Nazis, Black Lives Matter, And Progressive Groups Clash In New Haven – The Daily Caller

Counter-protesters swarmed downtownNew Haven to shout down a rally featuringlibertarian speaker Augustus Invictus on Saturday morning.One has been hospitalized after getting pepper sprayed by authorities; at least threehave been arrested.

I saw three arrested. I heard there was a fourth, said a protester requesting only to be identified as IV. There are only twoother people in the U.S. with my last name and theyre in their seventies. My pronouns are they and this.

The rally was organized by local white nationalist groups with ties to Proud Boys, a new political movement helmedin the U.S. by the Canadian Vice Media-cofounder Gavin McInnes. The group has attracted thousands of members and promotes minimal government, maximum freedom, anti-political correctness, anti-racial guilt, pro-gun rights, anti-Drug War, closed borders, anti-masturbation, venerating entrepreneurs, venerating housewives, and reinstating a spirit of Western chauvinism during an age of globalism and multiculturalism, according to their Facebook page.

Augustus Invictus (an alias which translates into majestic unconquered sun in Latin)isbest known for controversial antics like sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood, along withrunning a failedcampaign for Marco Rubios Senate seat in Florida as a Libertarian (which promptedthe resignation of Floridas Libertarian Party chairman AdrianWyllie). He has openly advocated for eugenics and a civil warwhileattractinga following of mostly neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

Ninety-nine percent of the things that seem weird in my life can be answered with my religion,he told a reporter for Vicein 2015. Paganism, he added, is mostly about nature-worship. Its about being in harmony with your environment and bringing the world of spirit and world of man together. Its about balance.

Counter-protesters numbered about 150 and came from different groups such as Black Lives Matter, SURGE, and New Haven Uprising.

All of you are going to go back to Clinton [Connecticut] and were going to be the ones cleaning up after you! shouted a New Haven resident to the protesters. I got paint on my brand new iPhone.

The groups were last seenmarchingtowardsthe New Haven police station on 1 Union Ave to demand the release of the arrested counter protesters.

Here’s how Black Lives Matter has responded to that controversial NRA viral video – The Daily Dot

BTW

The NRA released an incendiary ad in April, calling for its members to fight back against the resistance with the clenched fist of truth while showing images of violent protests and injured Donald Trump supporters. The video went viral late last month when journalist Jeff Sharlet tweeted the video, hosted by conservative talk radio host and NRAspokesperson Dana Loesch, and described it as a whisper shy of a call for full civil war.

Now, Black Lives Matterhas responded with its own video. It starts off in the same style as the NRA video, with foreboding music and chilling clips showing Philando Castile and Dylann Roof.

But then, the video changes tone.

Wait, hold up, the spokeswoman said. Whats with the aggressive fear-mongering video tactics?

She then brings up the lights to reveal family members of black men and women who were killed by police, saying, When the NRA issues a public call to their constituents inciting violence against people who are constitutionally fighting for their lives, we dont take that lightly. We know that were not safe. Were not scared either.

Heres the original NRA video:

And the Black Lives Matter response:

Black Lives Matter Leaders Sued Over Baton Rouge Police Shooting – Newsmax

A police officer wounded in a shooting rampage in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, last year that left three officers dead sued Black Lives Matter movement leaders on Friday, accusing them of inciting violence that spurred the attack.

The lawsuit filed in a U.S. district court in Louisiana named DeRay McKesson and four other Black Lives Matter leaders as defendants and sought at least $75,000 in damages.

It came on the one-year anniversary of one of the deadliest days in modern U.S. history for law enforcement. On July 7, 2016, a black man angered by what he saw as deadly racial bias in U.S. policing launched a downtown Dallas sniper attack, killing five officers deployed at a protest decrying police shootings of black men.

McKesson was not immediately available for comment and Black Lives Matter leaders have denied accusations that their movement promotes violence against police.

About 10 days after the Dallas shooting, a decorated ex-U.S. Marine sergeant opened fire on police in Baton Rouge, killing three officers.

Baton Rouge had been hit by waves of protests after two police officers earlier that month killed a black man, Alton Sterling, under questionable circumstances. The incident was caught on video and sparked national debate.

The officer wounded in Baton Rouge, who was not named in the lawsuit, was shot by "a person violently protesting against police, and which violence was caused or contributed to by the leaders of and by 'BLACK LIVES MATTER'," the filing said.

Gavin Long, the black gunman who killed the Baton Rouge officers and was later shot dead, identified himself as a member of an African-American offshoot of the anti-government, mostly white Sovereign Citizen Movement, documents showed. Last year, McKesson and two other activists sued the Baton Rouge police department and other officials over the arrests of nearly 200 demonstrators during mostly peaceful protests over police killings.

‘Black Lives Matter!’: Police Officer Attacked, Threatened At Traffic Stop – The Daily Caller

A man in Naples, Florida allegedly punched a deputyin the face at a traffic stop and yelled Black Lives Matter! when being taken to jail Wednesday.

The man, 34-year-old Anthony Denson Jr., was pulled over after a police officer saw he was driving without a seat belt, Naples Daily News reports.

After the deputy who pulled him over asked for a license and registration, a verbal argument broke out between Denson and the deputy.

Denson randomly accused the deputy of wanting to shoot him, and the deputy asked him to come out of the car. Denson refused, and the deputy threatened to use a taser if he didnt listen.

Denson then gotout of the car, but used that opportunity to punch the cop in the face. He was arrested.

Later, while being booked, he yelled Black Lives Matter! (RELATED:F**k The Police!: Black Lives Matter Activists Protest Shooting In Tulsa [VIDEO])

According to the Naples Daily News report, he is being charged with: obstructing an officer; battery of a law enforcement officer; threatening to do serious bodily harm to a public official; and driving while his license was suspended, second offense.

This attack comes after a statistics show that there has been a recent increase in attacks against police officers, especially ambush killings.

Some believe this could be due to a hostile atmosphere by police created due to movements like Black Lives Matter that often paint police officers as racist.

‘War On Cops’ Author Blames Black Lives Matter Rhetoric For Attacks On Cops – The Daily Caller

The author of The War on Cops blamed the rhetoric of Black Lives Matter activists on the slew ofattacks on police officers.

In light of the Wednesdayassassination of a New York Police Department officer, Manhattan Institute fellow Heather Mac Donald argued that the language of BLM protesters has helped fueled a hatred towards police officers.

Theres no question that the rhetoric is fueling this, Mac Donald said on the Dom Giordano Program. The statements that these cops killers have made are really echoed on daily basis by Black Lives Matter protesters. One of the chants in Chicago that you mentioned is CPD KKK how many kids did you kill today?'

Alexander Bonds, a black man with schizophrenia, fatally shot NYPD officer Miosotis Familia in the head while she sat in her squad car. Bonds, according to multiple reports, ranted about police officers in a Facebook video inSeptember 2016, calling them faggots.

Mac Donald pointed to Black Lives Matter as the starting point for such rhetoric, which invariably leads to police officers being targeted.

People have been fed the lie for the last three years by the Black Lives Matter activists and their media and political enablers that were living through an epidemic of racially biased police shootings of black men, aclaimthat is 100 percent false and, we shouldnt be surprised that kooks and people that have been fed a longstanding hatred of the police act on this, Mac Donald continued. The numbers bear this out. The cops are under attack because of this ideologically fueled and completely unjustified hatred.
