Police: 5 charged after throwing water balloons at ‘a bunch of liberals’ outside Lindsey Graham’s Charleston office – Charleston Post Courier

It all started with a green water balloon.

Now five teens three 18-year-olds and two 17-year-olds face misdemeanor charges of malicious mischief after Mount Pleasant police say the quintet threw water balloons at protesters Monday afternoon.

According to an incident report from the Mount Pleasant Police Department, a green object was tossed from a passenger window of a gold Ford F-150 truck and hit a woman who was protesting outside of Sen. Lindsey Graham's Lowcountry office, 530 Johnnie Dodds Blvd.

Martha Rhodes, 41, said she was one of the protesters hit by a water balloon. At the time, Rhodes said she was holding a sign that said, "Bigotry destroys democracy."

"I didn't honestly realize it was a water balloon." Rhodes said Tuesday. "I was a little bit shaken up.One of my concerns has been the normalization of behavior that we wouldn't have found acceptable until now."

As officers were trying to see if anyone else was hit by balloons at the Monday protest, they reportedly heard sounds of water balloons breaking in the area.

"It's those pickup trucks," people yelled, according to incident reports.

Officers said they then spotted a second pickup truck, a black Toyota Tacoma, and followed the two trucks down Mathis Ferry Road. Police said the trucks then turned onto Seaport Lane, where a traffic stop was conducted of the black Toyota Tacoma. Officers then blocked the only exit until more units could arrive.

After seeing two magazines loaded with .223-caliber bullets inside the vehicle, an officer asked the driver and a minor to get out of the vehicle and to sit on the tailgate of the truck. An officer told the teens one fromIsle of Palms, one from Awendaw and three from Mount Pleasantthat they could be charged with assault.

One of the males said they did in fact throw water balloons, and officers then asked the teen whether he knew the driver of the other pickup truck.

A 17-year-old confirmed that he did, and then messaged his friends and told them to meet them at their location as the officer requested.

When three teenagers in the other truck arrived on the scene, officers asked one of them what they were thinking when they threw water balloons at protesters.

An 18-year-old responded that he only "threw water balloons at a bunch of liberals."

The protest held Monday was in opposition to Graham's support ofBetsy DeVos, President Donald Trump's controversial pick for education secretary.

Bill Maher: Liberals, We Lost Because We’re Offended All The Time And We Act Like Emasculated Husbands – Townhall

Comedian Bill Maher is no conservative, but a broken clock is right twice a day. Maher has veered off the liberal path on Islamic extremism, admitted that his side doesnt know anything about firearms regarding Second Amendment issues, and unapologetically points out the false equivalence between Christian and Islamic-inspired terror attacks.

With the 2016 election over and President Donald J. Trump now in the White House, Maher has some advice for how liberals can win: stop being politically correct. Granted, I hope liberals continue with their insufferable ethos of trigger warnings and safe spaces, so we can undo the damage done by theObama presidencybut I think we can all agree that the authoritarian agenda of political correctness is a cancer on the nation.

[Editor's Note: some strong language]

Maher went into his usual New Rules segment on his HBO show Real Time, where he ripped his side for getting angry at things that dont matter, specifically voicing outrage on behalf of people who themselves are not offended.

You know that whole controversy about the name Washington Redskins; they did a survey nine out of ten actual Indians dont give a shit, said Maher. The HBO host named instances, where the PC police called out Chris Hemsworth, Justin Timberlake, Steve Martin, and Hillary Duff for being culturally insensitive, calling the late Carrie Fisher beautiful and witty, or wearing a Halloween costume deemed racist. The Carrie Fisher incident is not a joke. Steve Martin said that when he first saw Fisher, he thought she was beautiful and turned out to be witty and bright as well. He was forced to take that down during the international shock of the Star Wars stars death because apparently looks arent everything. Duff and Hemsworth were caught wearing Indian costumes at Halloween parties.

Justin Timberlake faced torches and pitchforks for tweeting words of support for actor Jesse Williams BET speech. Williams had won the 2016 Humanitarian Award spoke about cultural appropriation, which Timberlake responded that he was inspired via Twitter. He got raked over the coals for no reason. And thats the point Maher is making. None of these things matter.

What matters is that while you self-involved fools were busy policing the language at the Kids Choice Awards, a madman talked his way into the White House, he said.

Of course, I dont agree with the latter part, but as Maher closed his segment, he noted that while liberals were complaining about nonsense, the Tea Party was taking over school boards. Stop protecting your virgin ears and start noticing youre getting f*cked in the ass!

He also said that the public was with the Democrats on the environment, raising the minimum wage, sensible gun laws (thats debatable), path to citizenship, andabortion rights. Why dont they win?

Well, there are many. One is that they apologize too much, which is true, as noted from the examples above. The second is that Democrats remind people of a man who has taken his balls out and placed them in his wifes purse.

As for cultural appropriation, Maher took that to the woodshed as well since its inherently anti-American.

Thats the idea that white people shouldnt adopt things from other ethnic groups, how dare you mix and match cultures to produce something new; where do you think you are some kind of melting pot? he said.

The point is that Maher is against political correctness, where we can find common ground, and he says that this mindset is what keeps liberals from conducting effective outreachwhich is true. Working class voters felt that the Democrats cared more about transgender bathrooms than job creation, hence they broke for Trump. These are the very people Democrats need to reconnect with if they want to win again. Yet, unlike Trump, Mahers reach isnt that extensive. Im pretty sure most progressives will scoff and be offended. Maher says he was offensive, and baited his fellow liberals to come after him so he can tell them to go f**k themselves.

Even on the left, it seems the road out of the wilderness rests with those who are not politicians.

Liberals want US to admit all the refugees and pray we don’t get blown up – Fox News

The mainstream media, liberals and Hollywood are pitching a super-sized hissy fit over President Trumps decision to protect the fruited plain from blood-thirsty jihadists.

They seem to think we are under some sort of moral obligation to allow refugees to flood into the country without vetting and pray that nobody gets blown up. I write about this very issue in my new book, The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again.

I watched in utter amazement this weekend as hordes of agitators swarmed airports across the country causing all sorts of mayhem.

CNN called the protests spontaneous which is quite remarkable considering a number of protesters were waving professionally-made banners and posters.

Muslims at DFW International Airport turned a baggage claim area into a makeshift mosque kneeling on prayer rugs and chanting, Allah.

And there was nary a peep from TSA or airport officials.

But heaven help the poor fellow who tries to go through a TSA check point with a bottle of Head & Shoulders in his carry-on luggage.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lashed out at the president saying New Yorkers have no tolerance for intolerance.

New York City Mayor and Communist sympathizer Bill de Blasio said the ban was chilling to anyone in America who cares about religious liberty.

These are the same guys who tried to shut down a Chick-fil-A franchise and told gun-toting, Bible-clingers they were not welcome in the Empire State.

So spare us your righteous indignation.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel said he plans on hosting illegal aliens in his home and urged citizens to do the same.

Thats a mighty thoughtful gesture, but it might be safer for the refugees to eat a slice of deep dish pizza in Syria rather than the Windy Citys South Side.

The mainstream media feared the president was going overboard to protect Christians from radical Islamists, Newsbusters reported.

CNNs Carol Costello, seemed genuinely troubled that his underlying goal was to make this country aggressively Christian.

Failed talk show host Piers Morgan addressed the issue in a bizarre column titled, More Americans were killed last year by toddlers with guns than by Muslim terrorists, Mr. President where is the executive order to stop THAT?

This executive order is not making America great, Morgan wrote in the Daily Mail. Its making America hate.

Mr. Morgan is British.

It is grotesquely unfair because it punishes many decent, law-abiding people who have every right to be in the country, he added.

Piers Morgan is the poster child for extreme vetting.

Hollywood is even worse marginalizing Christianity while embracing Islam.

The people who play make believe for a living went out of their way to denounce President Trump during the Screen Actors Guild awards Sunday.

We have to speak up, actress Emma Stone said. Staying silent only helps the oppressor, not the victim. Right now I hope that people seeing things that are being done that are unconstitutional and inhumane would say something.

Here's a thought -- next year -- hold the SAG awards in downtown Tehran. I hear the Ayatollahs are big Rosie O'Donnell fans.
