EDITOR’S NOTE: This column first appeared in a Nov. 3, 2016, edition of the L&T – a few days before Trump was elected. Look at where we are four years later with the leftists in the media, the Socialist Democrats and Black Lives Matter. It was predictable – I told you so – and it’s even deadlier today.

 

Buried among the continuing sleaze emanating everyday about Clinton’s corruption was a remarkable court judgement that somewhat restores this country’s tradition of liberty.

On Oct. 27, (2016) a jury found the Bundy brothers innocent of “conspiring against the government.” 

For those unfamiliar with the case, Ammon and Ryan Bundy led a Jan. 2 (2016) takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge along with numerous others to protest for the rights of ranchers in the American west on federal public lands: Particularly against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Five others were also acquitted

The standoff sparked national debates about public lands and the rights of ranchers in the American west.

What’s most disturbing about this protest is the way the Lame Stream Media and leftists presented this to the American people.

Every article I found on Google concerning this case called the protesters “militants.” Most of the terms used were “armed militants.” Another popular term was “rightwing militants” or “militia groups.”

Folks, that’s the tyranny of a centrally controlled federal government and an abetting leftist and bias media.

Especially when compared to the anarchists who parade around the country in the form of Black Lives Matter. Those traitors are called “protesters” by the Lame Stream Media, even after burning down businesses and homes once they had been looted and everything the thieves could get their filthy hands on was carried away.

Protesters?

I don’t think so.

The national park sit-in had people there who were legally armed, and for good reason. They had been under fire before when the BLM, FBI and other law enforcement agents didn’t like their 2014 protest and opened fire on them.

Having the right to bear arms is what keeps tyranny at bay.

Lets look further into the lefts’ newest darling “protesters’ of the decade: Black Lives Matters and others, such as the African American Defense League.

BLM advocates loudly, publically and proudly yell out such chants as “pigs in a blanket – fry ’em like bacon” and “What do we want? Dead Cops. When do we want it? Now!”

There are other less covered instances (who’s surprised the media won’t expose them? Huh?) of what I call inciting violence – or inciting a riot – or inciting cold blooded murder. Something a person could get arrested for just a few decades ago.

Micah Johnson, the shooter who killed five police officers in Dallas, told a hostage negotiator that he was angry on behalf of Black Lives Matter and “wanted to kill white people, especially police officers.” 

According to Shannon Stapleton, a writer for Reuters, “Johnson’s Facebook page revealed an affinity for black nationalism, and he followed a Facebook group called the “African American Defense League,” which encouraged followers to “ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN” and “Sprinkle Pigs Blood.”

In a parade of black protesters in St. Paul, Minn., Stapleton also reported “… more than 100 protesters were arrested when protesters used an overpass over Interstate 94 to throw rocks and rebar at police, injuring 21 officers, including one who suffered broken vertebrae when a concrete block was dropped on him from above. 

“When one officer was injured, protesters cheered: “One piggly-wiggly down!” he added.

These new darlings of the left and the media are nothing more than anarchists who want to destroy this nation. They are encouraged to murder cops and whites, and they know the media and law enforcement groups are handcuffed by politically-correct, leftwing city governments.

Look at Baltimore and that black racist prosecutor Marilyn Mosby taking six officers to trial for the death of Freddie Gray. Not one officer was found guilty of anything, but she wanted a racist trial to prove she supports anarchy.

The result of her sick, feeble attempts to abuse her office has now been ridiculed by most everyone. Even the Baltimore Sun has called for an investigation of “her” and her motives and lies and pre-case public statements.

That brings us back to: Who are the real “militants?” 

Folks, if Hillary is elected Tuesday, you can expect not only more of the same, but it will be worse – and much more dangerous. Leftwing  anarchist of every bent and color will be impowered to kill and murder at will.

Neil Wampler, one of the acquitted defendants in the Bundy case said it best when he appeared outside of court, telling reporters: 

“This is a stunning victory for rural America and an extremely humiliating defeat for a corrupt and predatory agency,” Wampler said.

Another message from the trial: It’s time to make sure you are armed against murdering anarchists and/or federal tyranny – and be prepared to fight.

That is exactly why our Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment.
