Overnight Riot Report — Austin Edition: Texas Police
Don’t Even Wait for the Sun to Go Down

Original Article

Posted By: HPmatt, 8/2/2020 9:29:23 AM

Word on the net tonight was that the action was going to be — supposedly — in Austin, Texas as Antifa/BLM was holding a memorial for Garrett Foster, the moron who pointed the business end of an AK-47 at active duty Army Sargeant Daniel Perry, who is well trained to not wait for the other guy to shoot first once engaged. The not-so-well-trained former Air Force mechanic Foster ended up on the losing end of a shootout due to his failure to get off a shot.

Comments:

Looked like the APD and Texas DPS nipped it in the ‘peaceful’ bud. I am actually visiting Austin this week. Was not down on Congress, but last night about 10pm did notice a few police helicopters flying around Barton Springs road. Actually no one mentions that yesterday was the 54 anniversary of the UT Tower shooting. Our family chose to visit Caverns of Sonora instead of Austin that day. A few of my UT professors got tenure from that....

I loved the video pf the police advancing on horses-those petulant kids playing protesters didn't know what to do when confronted with a big animal. The best was at the very end when you could hear a woman screaming "What the 4uck is happening!!!" Good for you, Austin PD.

In Austin they have a T shirt that says Keep Austin Weird. In Houston we have one that says Keep Austin 170 Miles Away.

Depending on the type of rioters, such as what London had in June, certain aggressive thugs have no problem hurling projectiles at police horses. Hooray this was not the case here!! Heh heh BRAVO !!

Reading the comments under the article, two points: 1) ALL members of the Army (except maybe the chaplains) are trained in basic combat skills, and yes, we get bragging rights for better marksmanship skills, special combat quailfications (indicted by tabs and badges), combat patches and medals indicating service in war or OOTW. 2) From the picture I saw of SGT Perry in uniform, he seems to be an Infantryman assigned to Cavalry unit (that's helicopters or tanks, these days), somebody who DOES spend his duty hours maintaining his combat skills (and SHARP training).

As a horse lover and former horse owner, if I were a police officer and one of those vermin attacked my horse, I would shoot the “protester” without a second thought.

Just goes to show you how dumb those protesters are. Dumb enough to protest in an Open Carry State. Dumb enough to stand in front a number of police on Horses and actually think the horses will stop! I applaud those Police for riding right through the crowd. Too bad Portland didn't get tough the first night of their Riots. I think it's going to take Tanks and Police, in Riot Gear and with Real guns, to clean up that Rat's Nest!

Good job Austin PD. Perhaps citizens taking matters LEGALLY into their own hands and wiping out one moron "demonstrator" has reset the standards a bit towards normal. HARD FACT: If the government fails to protect citizens and enforce the laws, honest citizens will only put up with the anarchy and crime for a certain period - basically giving the government/police a chance to 'regain their sanity" - before they will begin to protect themselves, and with guns in most cases. It appears that the Austin PD or their bosses have realized that letting this go will result in more citizens shooting more of these idiot anarchist thugs, and that they had better go back to enforcing the laws if they don't want more LEGAL bloodshed. Note that the guy who shot the rifle-wielding anarchist is NOT detained.

Do the red reflections on the windows and the the horses' blinders mean that the protesters were trying to blind the horses? Does the attempt by the peaceful protesters to blind officers with laser constitute "great bodily harm". If so, can the police shoot them?

There is a lesson to be learned from this. Arm yourselves America! When legally justified protect yourself and your family when from these violent anarchists.

Dozens of Former Bush Officials Leave Republican

 Dozens of Republicans in former President George W. Bush's administration are leaving the party, dismayed by a failure of many elected Republicans to disown Donald Trump after his false claims of election fraud sparked a deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol last month. These officials, some who served in the highest echelons of the Bush administration, said they had hoped that a Trump defeat would lead party leaders to move on from the former president and denounce his baseless claims that the November presidential election was stolen.  Corrections*

After making landfall this morning as a major Category 4 hurricane, Laura continues to weaken as the storm batters Louisiana and Texas this morning. The northern eyewall moved over Cameron, La., just after midnight, producing catastrophic damage and “unsurvivable” storm surge along the Texas/Louisiana border. As of 4 a.m. CDT, Hurricane Laura was located near 30.5 N, 93.4 W, or about 30 miles north-northwest of Lake Charles, La. Although weakening, Laura is still a very strong Category 3 hurricane with winds of 120 mph. The system is moving to the north at 15 mph with a minimum central pressure of 948 mb, or 28.00 inches of mercury.

WASHINGTON – President Trump is withdrawing his nomination for former U.S. attorney for D.C. Jessie Liu to serve as the Treasury Department’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes, a top position overseeing economic sanctions, according to two sources with direct knowledge.

The decision, which was made today, has administration officials questioning the circumstances that led to Trump changing his mind — with the developments in the Roger Stone case today being the only one they are aware of.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
