God damn, when the city cops say "bro, you went too far", you fuuuuuucked up.

The unmarked security force were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management, the Press reported, but Sheriff Norris “claimed no knowledge of the security personnel or who hired them.”

Wait, so the sheriff, admits that he just watched three unidentified men assault a woman in front of him, and that he has no knowledge of who they are or who hired them, and he took no action at all. If he knows nothing about them or who hired them, how would he know that they were providing security? This is brown shirts in action and the sheriff is clearly one of them. Terrifying.

Teresa Borrenpohl later told the Coeur d’Alene/Post Falls Press that, as it happened, she didn’t know if it was an arrest or a kidnapping.

Well it's good to know that if you get kidnapped plenty of people will film it happening to put online after the fact.

The general public outnumber these fascist assholes. If you see someone possibly being kidnapped by unknown assailants you look at someone beside you and say "we need to help them" and you fucking interfere.

“That little girl is afraid to leave!” Bejarana called from the stage. “She spoke up and now she doesn’t want to suffer the consequences.”

What a fucking piece of shit.

Edited to add - there aren't supposed to be any consequences for speaking up. That's part of what we supposedly all value about our nation you fucking poseurs wrapped in your US flag and preamble to the constitution prints!

bro what is this, youtube? Fix your fucking title.

Support. But there's nothing shocking here unless you just woke up in January. The state has been dragging anti-genocide protesters out of everywhere for more than a year. Trying to kick them out of school, deport them, etc. LA wanted to hire mercenaries. Nothing new at all.

I think we'd all like to assume that law enforcement wouldnt let their political opinions influence the performance of their sworn duties but time and again we see this sort of thing, and theres no real way to hold them to any account or standard of professionalism at all. They are a clear danger to everyone they come into contact with, and they even have state sponsored permission to lie and deceive in their interactions with you.

It’s interesting, the tv news i saw about this said that the organizers said that this wasn’t a “town hall” it was a private Republican Party event, and therefore people were not allowed to interrupt and they were allowed to hire their own private security.

This article makes it sound like they are walking that initial stance back a bit.

If you're anywhere, and someone in plain clothes tries to force you to do anything and they haven't identified as police, start fucking swinging, especially if it's somewhere like this where it's clear that they don't have authority. They committed assault and it's perfectly legal to defend yourself if you feel threatened. In the end, you probably still end up getting dragged out, but maybe you can break a Nazi's nose, or if your lucky and hit them in the right spot hard enough, you could kill a Nazi.

At the very least, Teresa needs to sue everyone involved. Make being a fascist at least hurt.

Link to incident. No news coverage, just the incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-aPFGNO5Wg

Sue the shit out of them. It’s all on video.

Burn stuff. You've got a constitutional and legal right to assembly and speech. If they don't recognize that, then you don't have to recognize their position of power and authority laid out by the same constitutional and legal framework.

Ah, PMCs. PMCs are probably just as bad if not worse than brown-shirt like paramilitary, because they get paid to not have morals, and are usually far more coordinated and dangerous.

They're still soulless, brainless thugs, but motivated by easy money rather than pure ideology.

It's quite possible that the tech bro brought them with. The sheriff not doing shit though? That's a concern.

Murica and israel are the new nazis! Wild timeline!
