Tolerance On Display in American Society

[Tim Steelersfan]

Tibs' beloved Antifa fascist group is at it again. Those peace-loving, hippy, Peace Not War, baby protecting, free speech loving, fragile young children.

My favorite part is the banner with the communist sickle. And Democrats tell us they aren't Socialists tsk tsk. Hillary said so but that's another thread.

L.A. Antifa Group Hangs Trump in Effigy, Calls for 'Revolutionary Violence' Against 'the Capitalist State'

An antifa group in Los Angeles celebrated May Day by holding a small march, hanging a Trump effigy, and advocating for "revolutionary violence" against the "capitalist state" in order to "create real political power."

"We must carry out military actions against the enemies of the people!” a member of the L.A. cell of the Red Guards said in a speech published on the group's blog.

The Red Guards is a Maoist group that hopes to duplicate in the United States the anarchy and terror Chairman Mao's Red Guards inflicted on China during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. The group also identifies as "antifascist" and has cells throughout the United States.

Hundreds of thousands of leftists throughout the world mobilized for the annual “International Workers' Day” on May 1 to advocate for various social justice causes and celebrate communism.

While May Day protests in France, Turkey, Puerto Rico, and elsewhere turned violent, Wednesday's protests in the United States tended to be relatively calm. As PJ Media reported, 22 police cruisers in Portland were vandalized yesterday. Additionally, three Red Guards members in Charlotte, North Carolina, and four Red Guards members in Kansas City, Missouri, were arrested for protest-related shenanigans. However, most American May Day protesters conducted their far-left activities in a peaceful manner.

Further, there's this. Crickets. Remember that Obama rodeo clown? Massive outcry. This will fade by tomorrow.

Chula Vista school mural depicts severed, speared Trump head

A Chula Vista school mural that depicts the bloody, severed head of President Donald Trump on a spear sparked a controversy that prompted officials to cover it and issue a response distancing themselves from the work.

The statement also said the artist will alter the painting.

“We understand that there was a mural painted at the event this past weekend that does not align with our school’s philosophy of non-violence,” read the statement from MAAC Community Charter School director Tommy Ramirez. “We have been in communication with the artist — who has agreed to modify the artwork — to better align with the school’s philosophy.”

The event Ramirez referred to was the annual Battlegroundz, a scholarship fundraiser held during the last weekend of April.

During the fundraiser, students and invited artists paint murals that highlight urban art in an alley behind the school.

Francia Baluca, marketing and communications manager for MAAC, the nonprofit that oversees the school, said officials were looking into questions raised about the mural, including whether anyone knew of its content before it was painted and when school officials first became aware of it.

After receiving complaints about the mural from the community and coverage about it from KUSI, the school had covered it with black plastic by Wednesday. On Friday, it appeared to be covered by plywood, with a vehicle parked in front of it.

Baluca said Battlegroundz attracts amateur and professional artists from around the world. Artist Sasha Andrade painted the part of the mural with Trump. She could not be reached Friday.

The mural depicts three warriors, each with different types of dress. One appears to be holding a human heart and another wears a leopard headdress and is holding a spear. At its end is the severed head of Trump, with the spear’s tip protruding from his mouth.

While school officials said Andrade has agreed to change the painting, she was defiant and proud of it on Facebook post earlier this week.

Her Facebook banner is a picture of her painting the mural, and on May 2 she posted a photo of the mural with the message, “They can try to #censor it but here it is guys!!!! “ Hashtags in the message included “#urwelcome” and “#freedomofexpression.”

She noted in one post that comedian George Lopez had liked her Instagram post of the mural, and she signed her message with “#firstamendment.”

She also has her share of detractors. On Twitter, a woman who goes by “Adorable Deplorable” called on the Secret Service to arrest Andrade for threatening the president.

The school is open to all San Diego County students 14-24 years old and is chartered by Sweetwater Union High School District. It serves 300 students.

Manny Rubio, public information officer at the district, said his office had received many calls about the mural, including from people out of state, but said MAAC Charter is independently run and not governed by the district’s board of trustees.

“Obviously there’s a lot of concern over what is depicted,” he said. “Because of that, they’re going to rework it. Our ultimate goal is that instruction continues and is not interrupted.”

The school was founded in 2001 by MAAC, or Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee on Anti-Poverty of San Diego County, Inc.

“Our school has a focus on critical thinking; our students learn their academic curriculum by examining current issues,” read the statement issued by the school this week. “We expect that this, and other murals, will give cause for conversation among our student population and are ready to help them reflect on it and formulate their own opinions about its message and implications.”

Encouraging grafitti is usually a great policy.
