Antifa Thugs With AR15’s Intimidate Journalist Andy Ngo at Seattle Rally
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/1 ... r-filming/
Portland based video journalist and Quillette writer Andy Ngo (who happens to be gay and Asian) made the trip north to Seattle to cover a pro Constitution rally put on by III%’ers and other conservative groups, as well as the counter protest staged by the usual red flag toting communists of Antifa.

As Ngo attempted to make his way into the communist group to capture the scene, several people confronted him and prevented him from going in, including at least three people armed with AR15’s and an AK47.

What's even wilder is the behavior of the Seattle PD.

Yes it is!

This is the type of scenario that could move the current cold civil war to a shooting war. Law enforcement and courts better crack down on mob violence before it's beyond their control.

Not that it matters in an intimidation situation, but there is a possibility that those leftists were carrying realistic airsoft replicas. In other words, that's why the police let them get away with it, but at the same time, those being intimidated wouldn't have known that. Before anyone jumps on me, please note that I am NOT condoning their behavior in any way, and I am staunchly anti-leftist. I'm just trying to make some sense out of things there.

The police and their political masters are at fault even if the weapons were airsoft replicas. To tell a person that they are "inciting conflict" by their lawful presence and ignore people carrying real or fake semiautomatic weapons is being complicit. If the police and politicians are unable to see the potential for tragic results by allowing fake weapons to be brandished they are either extremely stupid or invested heavily in the progressive socialist agenda and are provoking the pulling of triggers on real weapons.
The progressive socialists don't care about the people who are going to die on both sides once the line has been crossed. All they see is the potential for enacting gun bans in the wake of a shooting event.

Wonder what would happen if I painted a flash hider orange on a very real AR15?
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

You have to wonder how it's going to come out when a bunch of screaming, AR15-toting Antifans get in the faces of a bunch of AR15-toting right wingers (e.g. Charlottesville). The shot heard around the world, Version 2.

Yep, I knew it. I'd get jumped on even after stating that I am anti-leftist. I will repeat myself, for clarity: I DO NOT CONDONE THE POLICE LETTING THOSE ANTIFA TERRORISTS USE FIREARMS TO INTIMIDATE OTHERS.

I don’t think anyone was jumping on you. You were clear that you do not condone the police’s actions.

The reason why they did that is obvious. They or their bosses condone and support antifa and will do what they can to protect them. It is not reasonable. Maybe that is why you continue searching for an answer.

I think it’s because there is a fundamental difference between people who have been around guns most or all of their lives and who understand them as tools intended primarily for personal protection, versus those people for whom guns are a political talisman to be used for the projection of power, because they caught a noogie one too many times from a school bully. The latter have not thought far enough ahead to what would happen to them legally if they were to shoot and kill someone over a political disagreement during a street demonstration. Not even the mayor of Portland would be able to walk away from that one. Further, none of them have probably ever considered that, even if their weapon has no round in the chamber, there is no way for the other person to know that. Imagine what happens if one of them actually aims his AK, with a magazine in the gun but no round chambered, at a licensed concealed carrier. THAT person would have no way of knowing the chamber was empty, and would be well within his/her rights to draw and fire, and at least in Texas, would ultimately be absolved of any wrongdoing.

This is a BIG reason why, during all the long gun open carry demonstrations here in this state, I had far less issue with people who carried their weapons slung like these guys:

....than I had with idiots like THIS guy:

The first image does not imply a threat, the second one does. Imagine if that guy was Antifa and suddenly pointed his rifle at you (yeah, yeah, I know...it’s a pistol in the picture, but the principe still applies). Would you draw down and shoot him? I’d find it an unacceptable risk NOT to.
