VIDEO: Rioters Tearing Down Statue Chase Man Down And Attack Him, Man Shoots Assailant in Self-Defense

Democratic Governor sides with the mob and says she's "praying" for the assailant, suggests it doesn't matter who "strike[d] first."

A violent mob of rioters tearing down a statue in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Monday were filmed chasing a man down in the streets and attacking him with fists and a skateboard only for the man to shoot one in self-defense.

The media and Twitterati were reporting the story as a "white supremacist" attack on "peaceful protesters" but their narrative collapse after video surfaced showing the lynch mob chased the man down, pummeled him, threw him to the ground and bashed him with a skateboard.

The man only then fired back in self-defense.

Unconfirmed reports claimed the man was trying to protect the statue and could have been part of a patriot group called the New Mexico Civil Guard.

Democratic New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham issued a statement after the above video had surfaced where she sided with the mob, convicted the patriot group without evidence or a trial, neglected to mention that the rioters were tearing down a statue and said she's "praying" for the attacker and suggested it doesn't matter who "strike[d] first."

Grisham's full statement reads:

Although we are still learning more about the situation, I am horrified and disgusted beyond words by the reports of violence at a protest Monday night in Albuquerque. The heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a "civil guard," were there for one reason: To menace protesters, to present an unsanctioned show of unregulated force. To menace the people of New Mexico with weaponry – with an implicit threat of violence – is on its face unacceptable; that violence did indeed occur is unspeakable.

I am monitoring the situation; my administration is in touch with local officials; the individual who was injured is in my prayers, and I am thinking of their...

African-American Man Found Guilty of Defacing University Campus With Racist Graffiti

The man who officials say is responsible for racist and sexually explicit graffiti repeatedly discovered at Salisbury University over the last year has had his day in court.

Jerome K. Jackson, 54, of Princess Anne pleaded guilty Friday to one count of maliciously defacing property while exhibiting racial animosity, which is a violation of what's commonly known as Maryland's hate crime statute.

A Wicomico County District Court judge sentenced him to 18 months in the Wicomico County Detention Center — the jail time recommended by prosecutors.

“They (those words) are things that really inspire in individuals in this country fear and hate on either side," Judge Abigail Marsh said of the language in the vandalism, which she emphasized runs counterproductive to the anti-racism movements happening nationwide.

Dane Foust, Salisbury University's vice president of student affairs, spoke to the court Friday morning as both a victim and as a representative of victims throughout the campus community.

He asked that the court hold Jackson accountable for the “devastating impact his actions have had."

“He’s driven a wedge between friends on our campus and within the campus as a whole by his actions and by what he wrote," Foust said.

Jackson signed a plea agreement June 3 that requires he take responsibility for the graffiti found on campus on Oct. 8, Oct. 10, Oct. 22 and Nov. 4 of 2019, as well as on Feb. 19, 2020.

Deputy State's Attorney Bill McDermott noted in his comments to the court that the university had two many objectives in crafting the plea agreement: responsibility and finality.

“The campus wasn’t just hurt on the dates that we mentioned today. The campus was hurt everyday, every minute, every moment since those writings were found," he...

“Keeping the white menace under control.”

A post that appeared on the subreddit for the Seattle ‘CHAZ’ autonomous zone that has been taken over by left-wing extremists suggests rounding up all the white people and organizing them into forced work brigades.

That’s right. Some of the very same people protesting against racism and slavery want to enslave people based on their skin color.

So progressive!

The discussion appears to be focused around identifying potential ‘white supremacists’ who are trying to infiltrate CHAZ, a 6 block area of downtown Seattle occupied by Antifa and BLM supporters after the police force fled their precinct.

The area now seems to have been renamed ‘CHOP’ after some of the occupiers wanted to send a message to anyone who resisted that their fate would resemble what happened during the French Revolution when adversaries were beheaded.

“I can help keep a lookout for them, how do they look like?” asks one CHAZ occupier. “What are the signs to identify them? I would think going up to ask them is dangerous.”

“Anyone that is white,” says a respondent.

“I genuinely don’t understand why we don’t just round up all the white people in CHAZ and put them to work tending the crops, and other such tasks,” responds another CHAZ militant. “Thing would be far more efficient with a large workforce and it would act as a way of keeping the white menace under control. We can have an armed...
