A black-clad Antifa mob attacks a Christian group, and throws their audio gear in the river. Where were the police? Can we count on the cops to keep the peace or will they stand idle as anarcho-terrorists shut down free speech?

Then there’s the case where the PPD rolled up on the guy who got out of his car with gun in hand to confront the Antifa scumbags who were attacking his car. The cops did nothing to Antifa, of course – they were apparently Anita’s armed reserve in case trouble started. This is not a good path
It is a very small leap from police ambivalence to vigilantism. No excuses, but I think a lot of the cops have given up due to the fact that their local prosecutors will just turn these miscreants free if they arrest them, so from their point of view it’s “what difference does it make?”.
I don’t think it matters if these officers personally agree with the ideology or not. If they are not willing to intervene, then they are complicit and that is just as bad if not worse behavior than of those whom agree. Police have a duty above and beyond to do
more than just “follow orders”.
If police are just standing and watching vandalizing and people being attacked they are NOT doing their job. At minimum they should have at least acted as a barrier between the two groups and they didn’t even do that.
Jesus never told us to be wimps.
The cops have lost their benefit of the doubt. I hold cops in general in the same regard as those mythical rank-and-file FBI agents who are good people just trying to do their job. Not like Comey, Stroke and Page.
Lately, in similar cases, when a citizen stands his ground or defends against these scumbags, it is they who are arrested & molested by the cops. If that is the state of policing today, maybe we don’t need police. If police are being directed by the corrupt & protecting the criminals, it puts the lawful citizen in double jeopardy.
Taunting is one thing for us to take. Violent action calls for reaction. Defending ourselves is called for. Real cops protect US.
So I listened to an interview of somebody from the Church that was there and they had actually moved the location of their outdoor preaching event without announcing it and somehow antifa knew where to find them. How is that?! I think Zo is right, God is there but He’s going to allow His followers to be persecuted. If we as Christians retaliate over these things then we nullify the power of the gospel and the work Jesus did. He went to the cross silent like a lamb. However I do understand children were there and we do need to protect our family. It did seem antifa had to muster some courage to attack this Church because who are they really attacking? They are out in the open about who they are fighting with now, it is God and God in His sovereignty and love for His creation will allow it and as His representatives here on earth we Christians will feel the brunt of these attacks. But when Christ returns He will be returning in His full power and glory to bring judgement and wrath on those who rejected Him.
Just following orders…
Wasn’t that the excuse that every SS death camp guard used as well??
If we are not guilty of the 1st, 2nd 3rd offence, God will then allow us to defend our lives, liberty, freedoms, family, ,etc. from Evil. other wise evil shall overpower all on Earth. the time has come to deal with the human virus of evil. but every confrontation needs to be dealt with as one feels at the time. for all are different.
example the Guardian Angels.
It may be time for groups of rough men standing ready to do violence on our behalf.
Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Pray for those that spitefully use you, the Apostle Paul wrote. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” Jesus prayed.
Zo and Scott are on target with their takes.
That said… if those believers were to shake that city’s dust off their feet and skip town to dodge the coming fireball typhoon… I won’t block their path or say one contrary word.
Sorry Scott. Police officers are just trying to keep their jobs doesn’t cut it. They have accepted the violation of my rights as a condition of their employment, and they should be hanging their heads in shame. They should be fired for not doing their job, but nobody is going do that.
“…ordered to stand down or not respond..?”
NOT A LAWFUL ORDER…!!!
Why is Scott giving Antifa a free pass..?
“Activists” (actually domestic terrorists) vs. pacifists, who wins…?
The ones who act…
Did jesus have a back bone or testicles?
I have the feeling that were I at an event with police standing around while masked criminals were destroying property I would ask one to borrow his pistol or at least baton. If he isn’t going to do his job then I would do it for him.
In this case I think less of turning the other cheek and more Jesus in the temple turning over tables and whipping merchants.
Scott nailed it. It used to be the police showed up and the rabble-rousers quickly disbursed. The downside to the police doing nothing is that, as average citizens realize the police will do nothing, average citizens will take defending themselves into their own hands–and that will not end well for antifa.
“Well, they’re just trying to keep their jobs.” And what is their job? Police officers swear an oath to uphold local law and their state and US Constitutions. By failing to protect the life and property of innocent citizens, they may be keeping their paychecks, but making excuses for them won’t change the reality that they’re not keeping their jobs. When we tolerate their guilt, we become equally guilty. Such coddling on our part surely won’t pass muster with the ultimate Judge, and on a practical level, when we abet such lawlessness, we push ourselves closer to meeting him.
I just hope we keep in mind when faced with ANTIFA and BLM thugs, how well did things work out for the Jews in the 1930s and 40s? I’m of the opinion that the only thing these thugs will respond to is a direct and overwhelming response. The definition of insanity is continue doing the same thing and expecting a different out come. Hopefully most of us are not insane.
If someone starts messing with my PA equipment I’m not going to passively stand by; I will become one with the Warthogs! ;-D
Love to see ya, Zo!
Nice work Zo! I enjoyed this one.
Restraint – a very interesting word. It is not that we CANNOT fight back, it’s that we CHOOSE to NOT fight back. Part of that choice may be turning the other cheek. I suspect most of it is found in expecting the proper authorities (i.e. The Police) to do their job of Protect and Serve. It will not take too many more of these instances for Christians to realize that the police are not going to respond so they need to defend themselves.
BTW – anyone notice how antifa shows up all ready for battle at an outdoor, church gathering? Notice they never show up at a Bikers for Christ gathering.
As to Zo’s remarks at the end of the video, I’m surprised that he didn’t mention Michael.
ArcAngel Michael is called the Sword of God for a reason. When God strikes someone or thing down, it is Michael that “wields the sword”.
One of these days, I expect that Michael will show up in the persona of one or more of these Christians, and engage in some Holy Smiting.
These black-clad authoritarian bastards are no different from any other roving band of violent wild animals. You wouldn’t hesitate to put a spear through a bloodthirsty hyena, would you? This will continue until they are physically defeated.
Most of them are violent, cowardly children, if not in body, in spirit.
Look at how they attack: from the side or rear, sneak attacks and cheap shots.
Even then, they run away before any response is even made. Cowards. Hyenas.
The few we have seen caught after their assaults immediately fold. Curling up and crying pathetically, like the weak children they are. Crying for mommy.
Apart from a core cadre of true nihilists, most antifa are spoiled brats throwing a tantrum. The minute any meaningful resistance is consistently arrayed against them, the movement will fall apart as the cowards realize that they can be held responsible for their actions.
I’m with Bill … call in the Warthogs! I’m sick and tired of turning the other cheek. Perhaps I’m destined for Hell.
I ran out of cheeks to turn years ago. I was bullied as a child.
NEVER AGAIN.
Normally I don’t approve of defunding police. But the police ordering non interference in a crime being committed, should be defunded; ie, be fired.
