The relative civility surrounding the activism concerning the fate of illegal immigrant families has been destroyed. According to several published news reports, the protests have turned violent.
The Daily Caller reported on 3 July that vandals threw a brick through the window of the Nebraska Republican Party Headquarters in Lincoln on the night of July 2:
TMZ, the Los Angeles based website known for celebrity gossip, have dared to question if something at President Trump’s inauguration did not go according to plan.
The incident happened in plain sight and although I was fixed on the words of the speech, I couldn’t help but notice something looked slightly peculiar.
Shortly after Trump began speaking a group of soldiers lined up and stood behind him. Less than a minute later they all marched away.
It did not take long for Donald J. Trump to replace the civil rights page on the White House website with one vowing to end the “dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America.”
So in that regard, he is at least sticking to his campaign promise to give police more authority, including implementing a national stop-and-frisk policy, even though a federal court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 2013.
President-elect Donald Trump made a unexpected visit to his own DC hotel, greeted by cheers from those lucky enough to be present when the soon to be US president arrived.
The video below shows the moment Trump made a “surprise appearance at his DC hotel to huge cheers, after ditching the press just 36 hours before the inauguration.”
The soon to be US President also took care of a dinner bill for two guests dining at the hotel.
Washington D.C. police released two body cam videos Wednesday showing them shooting and killing a man with a knife during a family gathering on Christmas Day.
But the videos beg the question as to whether they had to kill him.
After all, they had already cleared the home of all people except Gerald “Javon” Hall, the 29-year-old man holding the knife, who police say was threatening to kill his girlfriend with a knife.
But seconds before he was shot and killed, he shoved his girlfriend out the door and closed it.
Washington D.C. police claim they shot and killed Terrence Sterling after he drove his motorcycle into a patrol car as an officer was stepping out, making him fear for his life.
But witnesses say the officer shot and killed Sterling from inside his car with the window rolled down after Sterling had crashed his bike into the car.
Brian Trainer, the Metropolitan police officer who killed him, was wearing a body camera, so that should put the debate to rest.
If only he had turned it on.
Livestreamers captured the crowd chanting, “Where is CNN?”
The post Media Silent as Thousands March on Washington DC, 400 Arrested appeared first on The Anti-Media.
It’s been a full year since Washington D.C. legalized marijuana, ignoring House Republicans that were strongly against it. But congressional conservatives continue to ban pot sales in Washington, D.C.
