The left's 'peaceful protest' lie intensifies as violence escalates

Becket Adams:

Rarely is this much effort put into covering up a public event to keep people in the dark.

News outlets are still downplaying street violence in Portland, Oakland, and elsewhere. They insist even now, against the backdrop of anarchy and destruction and the deployment of federal agents, that the unrest that has left multiple officers and demonstrators injured has been mostly “peaceful.”

“Protesters in California set fire to a courthouse, damaged a police station, and assaulted officers after a peaceful demonstration intensified,” ABC News reported this weekend.

That sentence does not even make sense. If a “peaceful” demonstration “intensified,” wouldn’t that mean it became more peaceful, not less?

...
I suppose that every act of violence begins peacefully. If you lay in wait to murder someone, you might be peacefully sitting there for hours, and the actual killing takes only seconds. That's a mostly peaceful murder, right?
...

There is much more.

The Democrat lies are never-ending.

Realty is somewhere else.

Rioters aren’t protesters and this story is proof. They’re out for blood and destruction, not peace or justice.

Reading the description of what Associated Press writer Mike Balsamo experienced during his night at the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland, Oregon is like reading something straight out of a war novel. Thousands of people descending on the building in order to bring it down as inside, federal agents brace for a long night of defending the building.

Balsamo described the scene around him, such as the defenses erected by police in order to help them repel the attackers. He paints a picture of a castle-like structure under siege:

The courthouse, a stately building with large windows and a white marble interior, looked like a feudal castle under siege. The outside was boarded up with thick plywood; narrow slits at the top of the plywood, accessed by a mechanized scaffolding, gave the agents inside a view of the crowd and an opening through which to fire pepper balls.

The terrace outside the front door was littered with garbage, the steps leading to the courthouse splattered with paint. A mixture of anti-police and Black Lives Matter graffiti covered the building’s outer walls and columns to a height of about 10 feet (3 meters).

Tear gas from the previous nights’ protests still hung in the air and coated the floor with a slime that had been hurriedly mopped up by custodians earlier that day. A few sickly looking potted plants still decorated the lobby, a reminder of a time before the courthouse was a battlefield.

Balsamo continues by describing the attitudes the rioters have toward the officers defending the courthouse. They don’t view them in any way that would grant them humanity as Balsamo says they see the officers as “at best thoughtless political minions, at worst murderous henchmen.”

What the officers are sure about the rioters are that if they gain access to the courthouse, these men will either be horribly injured or even killed by the attackers.

...

“It’s scary. You open those doors out, when the crowd is shaking the fence, and … on the other side of that fence are people that want to kill you because of the job we chose to do and what we represent,” said one Deputy U.S. Marshal.

“I can’t walk outside without being in fear for my life,” he added. “I am worried for my life, every time I walk outside of the building.”
...

There is much more in this real story about the violence that Democrats continue to deny.  They also continue to claim their militant wing, Antifa, is a "myth."  They are desperately trying to change the narrative.
