| BLM Beats Conservative Michelle Malkin With Clubs In Denver |
| 2020-07-21 |
| [AmericanThinker] Michelle Malkin beaten by BLM thugs and prevented from speaking at Denver pro-police rally Conservative author and activist Michelle Malkin was brutally assaulted and prevented from speaking as she made her way to the speaker's platform at a pro-police public rally in downtown Denver on Sunday. The patriotic event, the 6th Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day billed as "family friendly," was advertised in advance on social media including at Malkin's Twitter, where she has 2.2 million followers. On the video, which had been viewed over 150,000 times by early Monday, several individuals identifying themselves as Black Lives Matter accost Malkin as one or more of them unfurl collapsible batons and begin pushing and beating on Malkin. In the process, she loses a shoe and is eventually assisted in escaping to a waiting car by the event's security volunteers, at which point the video feed ends. Malkin was understandably distraught at this unanticipated violent turn of events and expressed frustration that Denver police, who were visibly present in the area, did nothing to stop the attacks or to allow the peaceful pro-police rally to continue. |

| #22 Here in CA, simple possession of an Asp or other type of collapsible baton is a felony. Straight up. |

| #21 Malkin's security was rather lacking. Time for a re-assessment. |

| #20 You pull out a baton, I pull out a glock. Until that happens, these leftists are going to continue to beat people and physically intimidate. They want a war, lets show them what a a war is. |

| #19 THAT should be the LAST of talking violence on LEOs on this site. Blocked next time. That is not who we are |

| #18 They need to use firearms to shoot the assailants. Thatts justified self-defense against those batons in the hands of civilian rioters. |

| #17 Go after LE officers? That's a nonstarter. For now, but not long term. At Nuremburg trials the NAZI's used the I was only following orders defense. Didn't fly then, isn't going to fly here. At some point the cops will have to decide which side they're on. |

| #15 Go after LE officers? That's a nonstarter. During the Berkeley battles the police were ordered to stand down and they did - but we still coordinated with them to help secure perimeters, especially an agreed up point by which we could evac those wounded enough to require immediate medical care - and it turned out be quite necessary. |

| #12 Was never a Malkin fan, but that doesn't change the fact that what happened is wrong on several levels. As for "stomping cops who back the other side," that's a recipe for a whole nother level of trouble that "our side" should not sign up for. |

| #5 Lets have a demonstration to support the police & bash some policemen? Support is a two way street. Requires reciprocity. You're a one trick pony grom, and a bit tiresome. Personally I would hold any support the blue rallies at this stage. I certainly don't attend these events either. Time to make lists and work them. All Blue Cities. Mayor, DA's, Police Chiefs and 3 layers down, Council Members and last but not least Police Union officials. Oh, and whomever is funding this, work the money trail and then do the nasty. |

| #4 Some policemen yes, those that won't do their jobs. But I agree with Phineter Turkeyneck6202, lets go after the ones that gave the orders and make them understand the consequences. |

| #2 Screw the police, they were following orders! 🙄 The people organizing these events need to wake up, they should have some serious people capable of violence, and a lot of them. When Panty Fa/BLM get violent, crowd stomp them, if the police interfere, they get stomped too, make it known before hand. Now, for the people giving the orders, target them, make them understand the coming consequences. |

| #1 Collapsible batons are illegal usually if not always is my understanding. Unless it's in the hands of a rioter, I guess. |
