The riots in America and the attempted overthrow of the United States
Looks like SFPD made an arrest of the guy who knocked-out the two front teeth of the Team Save America leader.

A white guy, covered in a balaclava, arguing against facism, knocks-out the teeth of a black man, who's arguing for free speech....can't make this shit up

San Francisco Police Make Arrest in UN Plaza Assault 20-118
quote:

On Saturday, October 17, 2020, at approximately 12:20 PM, San Francisco Police officers responded to the area of Leavenworth and McAllister Streets for a report of an aggravated assault. Officers met with a 25-year-old male victim who identified himself as the victim of the assault. The victim told officers he was participating in a free speech rally at UN Plaza when he was punched in the face by an unknown suspect. The assault caused the victim to lose two teeth. The SFPD Night Investigations Unit and Special Investigations Unit led the investigation.

Investigators developed information that led to the identity of the suspect in the assault. The suspect was identified as 35-year-old Adora Anderson of Watsonville. On Sunday, October 18, 2020, at approximately 2:53 PM, Adora Anderson was taken into custody by San Francisco Police officers in Oakland, CA. Adora Anderson was transported to San Francisco County Jail where he was booked on charges of mayhem (203 PC) and a hate crime enhancement (422.75(a) PC).

While an arrest has been made, this remains an open investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD 24 Hour Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin your text message with SFPD. You may remain anonymous.

With a hate-crime enhancement. That's gonna leave a mark.

I philosophically oppose hate-crime type of laws, but in this case it warms me with schadenfreude.

AntiFA is perfectly named: Anti First Amendment. They are against free speech, open and honest media, exercise of religion, and all things traditional and conservative.

The various funds that support such activity, is a reminder of the wealthy, white collar ideologues from another era such as Sargent Shriver, John Lindsay, and Ted Kennedy. Main difference is, rather then being in government, they instead control large wealth funds and trusts, thus directing recipients and legitimizing positions.

Seems like a ripe moment to undo some tax code breaks for super wealthy as well as disclosure requirements for charitable organizations... All of them....

Got to participate in an afternoon of Sheriff Office joint LEO 'crowd control' exercises, in my volunteer role for my local Sheriff's office.

There were about 20+ of us role players - non-violent protestors. SO had a few officers role play violent protestors; they got hit with pepper ball munitions and simunitions in a seperate shooter event.

This was at their nice new training facility - very nice indeed.

We got to yell at the officers in training - was kinda fun, but even in a role play my heart just was not in it. We did have a scenario where they blue line interjected itself between Antifa and 2020 Trump protestors. Young people on the Antifa side and old folks on the Trump 2020 side. Ok, there I did enjoy yelling at Antifa role players.

This is also where the shooter event happened - of course on the Trump side. Took the first group 5 secs to realize / id / responds to the shooter. A tad long in the post action debrief we got to listen to.

There was some discussion as to what the 'crowd' would do - scatter seemed the general opinion (they had us Trump 2020'ers simulate and orderly scatter for the 2nd group training).

One officer in the debrief seemed to believe the group would not scatter as they are used to gun fire (noise of the type) as this is part of Portland riots all the time, so they are 'used' to it.

I would probably go to ground if I heard gun fire. In '87' on a busy street in West Berlin, I noticed a guy run past me, and the noticed a person (looked like undercover Police) chasing him with gun drawn - not waving or out in the complete open - but drawn nevertheless (I knelt down to present a smaller target until they were 100 meters away - as other people just kept walking). Weird experience.

I did get hit with a 20 off foot ricochet of a simunition in one of the 2 live shooter scenario events. I heard the round hit the plexi-glass next to me and then hit my arm (long sleeve shirt so I was prepared). No pain.

It was interesting to see them in live 'training' action - about as close as I'll be - unless they come to get my guns, or some other really bad event.

So, departments are training for Nov 3+.

I guess the training could be a bit more realistic, but I also understand the need to not have us volunteers injured with was 'the' primary safety rule governing the exercise.

I think we peaceful protestors could have been armed with empty plastic bottles and bean bags to throw at the officers as they maneuvered to at least give them a bit of exposure to having to maneuver under fire.

Anyway, it was fun and educational, and I was glad to help in another capacity, other than my emergency comms role.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Democratic Missouri congressional candidate Cori Bush said she wanted to “defund the Pentagon” in a Tuesday tweet.

“If you’re having a bad day, just think of all the social services we’re going to fund after we defund the Pentagon,” Bush wrote.

If you’re having a bad day, just think of all the social services we’re going to fund after we defund the Pentagon.

The post, which garnered over 37,000 likes from users, was retweeted by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

While Cori Bush is a "candidate", she won the DEM primary in Missouri’s First District. It is so heavily tilted to the left that you could elect a ham sandwich to Congress if it had a “D” after its name.

So, under the democrats we could have no police and no military. No law and order domestically, no border protection and no military to protect us from foreign terrorists.

Who are they going to call to take away our guns...social workers?

Let's defund the democrats instead.

Due to us pro-Trumpers being on the side best for the shooter scenario it was a righty - although we said - anarchist - like some of the radical anti-government types (usually commie leaning). An SO was role-playing the shooter from the Trump protest side. They nailed him with a hail of simunitions.

Again, just a training exercise so it really does not matter for training purposes. LEO will act appropriately regardless of the political orientation of the immediate threat.

The SO I volunteer for has a very pro-freedom Sheriff. He was one of the Oregon Sheriffs that led the fight against having to unmask us CHL folks when some local news rag tried to get and publish this information in Oregon a few years ago.

somewhat OT, but it fits into the utter lawlessness going on in DEM cities

San Francisco: A String Of Drug Stores Close After Shoplifters Strip The Shelves Bare

This week the San Francisco Chronicle reported on the seventh Walgreens drug store to announce it is closing in the city since last year. The problem is a wave of shoplifting from retail locations that can add up to millions of dollars in lost merchandise:

The drugstore, which serves many older people who live in the Opera Plaza area, is the seventh Walgreens to close in the city since 2019.

“All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters, ” said longtime customer Sebastian Luke, who lives a block away and is a frequent customer who has been posting photos of the thefts for months.

The Walgreens clerks can’t do anything about the theft because the company has a policy preventing them from interfering in shoplifting. Allegedly this is for their safety but I suspect it’s really because if they didn’t have this policy and anyone got hurt, they would be sued.

A theft of less than $950 is a misdemeanor in California and even if the shoplifters get arrested they would likely be back on the streets almost immediately.

Earlier this month California’s attorney general announced he had busted a major theft-ring in the Bay Area responsible for stealing $8 million worth of merchandise. Most of it had been shoplifted from a CVS drug store:

On September 30, during a search and arrest warrant operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, agents seized and recovered approximately $8 million of stolen merchandise from retailers across the San Francisco Bay Area including CVS, Target and Walgreens as well as $85,000 in cash from the suspects’ residences, a warehouse and storage facilities…

Trailer after trailer, bin after bin, sack after sack — stored on pallets, stacked floor to ceiling, two stories tall. It took a team of 30 people two days to catalog it, mostly merchandise from CVS, as part of ‘Operation Proof’ of Purchase, $8 million dollars worth in all…

“They pay those thieves approximately $1 or $2 an item. And then they sell it to an illicit wholesale operation,” said [CVS crime expert Ben] Dugan.

The stolen goods eventually find their way to Ebay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and Amazon, where they are sold at a steep discount.

can you imagine living in a neighborhood like this ?

I wonder if those policies and that $950 cutoff apply if they swarm the back of a pharmacy and run off with drugs popular on the party scene.

So Wife and I drove cross-country last year(before she was preggo), and we stopped in Springfield, Ohio for one night. We wanted to indulge in a couple cocktails in our hotel room, so we mosied on over to the nearest grocer with a liquor section. In Springfield, lovely hamlet that it is, liquor sections of the grocery store are a single large room with one entrance/exit, with an armed city COP watching. No more than a small number of people are allowed in the area at a time, and in order for one person to be allowed in, one person must exit the room, and this is strictly enforced. Doesn't matter if you are with your wife, you both can go in if two people checkout. Also, ALL of the bottles were fitted with RFID tags which they remove upon purchase.

I'm not going to say any more about the demographics in Springfield Ohio, because none of this is about race.

When your populace is dominated by lawless animals, everyone is reduced to being treated like a lawless animal. In my case I was an armed lawless animal, and very grateful to be such.

Committing crime doesn't hurt enough, in my opinion. /captainobvious

There has been a community in the Bay Area where most of the stores on the main shopping strip have gated doors and windows, some extra security measures in the inside, due to the prevalence of shoplifting. And the prices are a little higher to cover the extra cost of operations.

The locals complain, unfair. Well, if you stop stealing, we can lower the prices.

There is a Food Lion I used to shop at, at the city limits. And a housing project across the highway.

I kept noticing all the shopping carts had a huge round cylinder on the rear wheel.

I asked an employee what the object was on the carts "A Magnet" he told me. Go a certain distance from the store, the wheels lock.

Goblins were stealing carts till they did the magnets.

The Walgreen's in my neighborhood has a San Francisco police officer stationed inside whenever they are open.

The Apple Store right next door also has an SFPD officer AND at least one private security guard in front of the store during business hours.

Prop 47 is a failed experiment and it has to go.
