Millennial Gun-Violence Protestors Destroy Property, Attack Police
https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/millenn...ck-police/
Quote:The millennial formula for social change goes something like this: read Buzzfeed, get angry, rage on Twitter, join a protest, break a window, wash, rinse, and repeat.
That formula was on full display this week in Stockton, California, as high school students protesting “gun violence” took the opportunity to break car windows and attack police officers.
According to the Stockton Police Department, several hundred students left campus during the protest, and some began throwing rocks at uninvolved vehicles and police cars. When an officer approached the students to force them to stop, the social justice warriors fought the officer and took his baton. A private citizen came to the officer’s aid until backup could arrive and arrest the peaceful protestors.
“We do support the freedom to protest peacefully and freedom of speech,” Stockton Police Department’s Public Information Officer Joe Silva said. “While the majority of the students were peaceful today, we don’t condone the violence which was committed by a small handful of students. It’s unacceptable to batter a police officer and especially to take an officer’s baton.”
One adult female, two juvenile females, and two juvenile males were arrested for battery on an officer and resisting arrest. The adult, Verania Cervantes, 18, was booked into the S.J. County Jail.
Quote:Cervantes and her crew were members of one of several Stockton-area high school walk-outs protesting gun violence. They carried signs that read “No More Gun Violence,” and chanted to end school shootings.
Quote:They took the opportunity to repeat the same anti-gun rhetoric that has been circulating since before they were born.
“I’m not going to pretend that I know everything about government, I’m not going to pretend to be a lobbyist or anything,” 18-year-old Camille Richter told USA Today. “But we should not have AR-15s, we should not have military grade weaponry circulating in the U.S.”
None of the signs carried by the Stockton students explained how California’s gun laws could be any more strict. The state already bans AR-15-type rifles as well as standard-capacity magazines.

I will not support the disarming of lawful Americans because of leftist-induced violence. Never.

Problem is they know nothing will happen to them and there will be no consequences because the politicians have allowed violence and property damage to equal free speech.
Guarantee if the police were to start clubbing those little bastards like baby seals once the violence and destruction begin they'd think twice and not be so "brave".

The NRA and guns are just the excuse this minute in time. This is just a facet of the ongoing culture ground war.

A good ass-whooping would send them scurrying back to their parent's house.

Using violence to protest violence. Nice.

Shame the millennial left didn't get the memo that beating chests, screaming loudest, assaulting persons and damaging property does not help to sway opinions or gain empathy for the cause.
