Tea at Trianon: The Left Has Chosen Street Violence - A Lot More People Are Going To Die

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

The Left Has Chosen Street Violence - A Lot More People Are Going To Die

From AND Magazine:

Renee Good was not observing ICE officers. She was attempting to prevent them from doing their jobs, and, ultimately, she was attempting to kill one of them.
Good’s death is a tragedy. It is not, however, the end of anything. It is only the beginning. The people and organizations training groups across the country to fight ICE have no intention of backing down. They are only getting started.
“Like with Zionists, communities have a moral obligation to ensure that ICE agents feel no comfort in any space, social, political, or otherwise. They should be run out of every place they attempt to find community in, made pariahs by merit of their fascist views and participation in a fascist paramilitary agency. These officers may be our neighbors, but they are not part of our communities. They forfeit such a claim when they signed up for an agency tasked with destroying communities across the nation and doling out violence against those the state deems ‘undesirable.’”

During rallies in New York City following the Good shooting, protesters marched and chanted “Abolish ICE!”, “Kill Them All, Burn Them All and “Kristi Noem will hang — Save a life, kill an ICE” as they marched through Manhattan. (Read more.)

From Daniel McCarthy at Chronicles:

According to ICE spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin, the Goods were “stalking” ICE. Leftist organizations train activists like the Goods to harass and interfere with law enforcement in a variety of ways, including by using vehicles to block their movements.

This “activism” is not only in support of illegal activity, it creates dangerous situations for law-enforcement officers, bystanders, and the activists themselves, as Renee Good sadly discovered. The organizations that train activists to thwart law-enforcement know the risks—in fact, they’re part of the plan.

If ICE agents get killed as a result of interference, that’s a win in the eyes of those who brand law enforcement as “fascists.” And if bystanders or anti-ICE activists get killed as a result of the activists’ meddling, that’s a win, too, since it serves to embarrass law enforcement and hurt the agency politically.

Groups that teach people like the Goods how to endanger themselves and others know they can count on sympathetic coverage from much of the media whenever something violent occurs—it’s a publicity windfall. So why would they stop promoting these tactics, even if they get people killed?

If one Renee Good can close schools and conjure up protests against hotels said to be housing ICE agents in Minneapolis, imagine what three or four more martyrs will accomplish. The only obstacle is the victims have to be sympathetic: On Jan. 8, an ICE agent in Portland, Oregon, shot two people in a car that tried to run him over—yet inconveniently for anti-ICE activists, the injured duo were illegal immigrants with ties to the Tren de Aragua gang.

Portland Police Chief Bob Day nonetheless broke down crying at a press conference describing the incident, bemoaning “historic injustice of victim blaming.” (Read more.)
