Protesters Try To Kill A Cop


Via The Museum of Leftwing Lunacy, friendly neighborhood leftists gathered in San Fransisco this weekend to protest the G-8 summit by attempting to kill a police officer. It is spin city over at Idiotmedia, where the attempted murder is justified because the officer was holding a nightstick.

Meanwhile, the officer remains in critical condition.

Here is a description of the protestors actions that day as noted by SFGate.

The San Francisco protest was billed as the "West Coast Anti-Capitalist Convergence and March against the G-8." Protesters broke windows and glass doors at two Wells Fargo Bank locations, a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and a shoe store. Red anarchy signs were spray-painted on sidewalks and windows.

Mike Ayesh, manager and co-owner of the Kentucky Fried Chicken in the 1000 block of Valencia Street, said a masked protester threw a hammer through a front window about 9:30 p.m.


Henry Williams, manager of Shoe Biz on the 800 block of Valencia, estimated the cost to replace a cracked 6-foot-by-9-foot window at $1,600.


"I don't know why they targeted the store," Williams said. "We're a small family-owned business, not a big corporation."

Malkin says: SF Mayor Gavin Newsom vows to be "more vigilant." The anarchists are trembling, I'm sure.

I suspect we will see more and more examples of the left's abandonement of pacifism as an ethos in the near future. Frustration over not being able to get elected, coupled with an absolute certainty that they know better than everybody else is sure to result in more "righteous" violence.

A better argument for the 2nd amendment I have not heard in some time.
