The violent stupidity of the ‘No Kings’ protests

Published



The Democratic Party’s “No Kings” protests were revived this past weekend, showcasing the violence and the ideological incoherence of the party’s politicians and activist class.

These protests led to arrests and violence throughout the country, as Democrats have cultivated an activist base that believes it can violate whatever laws it wants in pursuit of the party’s political goals. Protesters were arrested on various charges in Denver, Portland, and Las Vegas, including for throwing rocks at law enforcement. Video from Portland shows protesters trying to destroy a gate at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, only to meekly back away when they manage to pry the gate open.
