Armed Black Teenager Shot After Pulling Gun On White Officer

An 18-year-old black teenager who pulled a gun on police officers was shot and killed in the St. Louis area.  Protesters descended on the scene immediately after the shooting and proceeded to clash with police.

St. Louis County PD said that a police officer conducting a routine check on a Mobil gas station at 11:15 p.m. saw two men outside the store and approached them.  Antonio Martin pulled a gun on the officer and was shot by the officer.

The protesters that stormed the scene attacked police officers, threw some kind of explosive device at the police and also tried to burn down a QuikTrip store.  Four people were arrested in the assault on the officers.

Police say Martin had a criminal record that included three assaults, armed robbery, armed criminal action and multiple weapons violations.

The family of Antonio Martin is claiming that he wasn’t with another man but with his girlfriend and that he didn’t have a gun despite the evidence that shows otherwise.  A 9 mm handgun with the serial number filed off was found next to the body of Martin.  A video of the incident showed Martin pointing the gun at the officer.

“When he was around me, he knew to do right,” Margret Chandler, Martin’s grandmother, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Why would he pull out a gun against the police? That’s the thing I don’t get. It just doesn’t add up.”

California Protesters Block Highways

Protesters upset over the death of a convicted criminal while he had been resisting arrest and another who attempted to take a police officer’s gun to shoot him blocked a California highway for hours Monday night.

The protesters had been marching through Berkeley in a mostly peaceful protest although some businesses suffered broken storefront windows.  After a short time, the protesters jumped a fence and blocked Interstate 80.

The protesters continued to block the highway despite a heavy police presence forcing police to stop traffic on the highway for the safety of the protesters.

The protesters were shouting, “Shut it down for Michael Brown.”

The protesters also forced an Amtrak train to stop.  The California Highway Patrol said they arrested over 150 protesters on a variety of charges.

Despite the damage and delays caused to others not connected to the Michael Brown or Eric Garner situations, protesters continued to insist the protests were only peaceful.

“I want to tell you this is a peaceful protest,” said Nisa Dang, an African-American student at U.C. Berkeley. “I want to also say this is a protest for black students, for black bodies. If they want to take the lead, let them take the lead.”

Berkeley’s mayor told the New York Times he was disappointed in the protests.

“It’s ironic that the place with probably the strongest supporters is being trashed,” said Tom Bates. “What we have are a lot of people who are outside agitators who want to disrupt and cause violence with the police.”

“[I am] totally devastated and disappointed,” Bates added.  “What could have been peaceful deteriorated into people attacking the police and doing damage.”

Massachusetts Passes New Abortion Protest Law

Massachusetts lawmakers passed a new law to restrict pro-life protesters who would be outside an abortion clinic after the Supreme Court struck down their previous law.

The new law, which is titled An Act to Promote Public Safety and Protect Access to Reproductive Health Care Facilities”, will now allow police to break up any protest that the police say are “impeding access” to an abortion clinic and then ban anyone at the protest from being within 25 feet of a clinic for 8 hours.

The governor said he was “proud to sign” the bill that can allow police to bully those who believe in the value of life.

The law will be challenged in court by pro-life groups.

“We are deeply disturbed at this legislature’s efforts to silence the voices of those they disagree with. We thank those legislators who voted against this new legislation, and we will closely monitor how this law is being carried out,” stated Massachusetts Citizens For Life.  “Rest assured that Massachusetts Citizens For Life will be doing everything in its power to ensure that the voices of pro-life individuals are protected.”

Pro-Terrorist Rally Held In Miami

A group of pro-terrorist protesters began chanting slogans such as “We are Hamas!” as they marched through Miami.

The demonstration, sponsored by groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations Florida and the Islamic Circle of North America, was supposed to be a “stop the bombing” march.

The event started on topic with chants of “no more killing; no more war” but changed into Islamic chants of “Allahu Akbar” and “we are jihad!”

The crowd assaulted a Jewish photographer who was sent to cover the event when his Jewish faith was discovered.  Several protesters threated to kill the photographer because he was “a Jew.”  They used multiple Jewish slurs as they harassed the man until he left the area.

A local reporter covering the event said she found it chilling to see hate-filled Jihadists controlling streets in Miami and threatening someone because they were Jewish.

Israeli Supporters Attacked By Crowd Chanting “Kill Jews”

A Canadian family of six who was pro-Israel and showing support for Israel in downtown Calgary was attacked by a group of 100 pro-terrorist protesters and beaten.

The crowd chanted a variety of anti-Semitic slogans including “Kill Jews” as they circled the family and would not let them escape.  A 22-year-old woman and a 52-year-old woman who was recovering from surgery were the most severely beaten by the mob.

Samantha Hamilton, the 22-year-old victim, told the Free Beacon that the protesters who told her that “Hitler should have finished you off.”

“I heard my mother screaming because six or seven guys had jumped on my brother,” who is 19 years old, Hamilton recalled. “He had a Star of David on his shirt and they were ripping it off, biting him, and scratching him, and stomping on him on the ground.”

Her brother suffered a concussion from the assault.

Calgary police arrived and the attack was stopped but none of the pro-terrorist attackers were arrested for their actions.

Pro-Terrorist, Anti-Semitic Rallies In Europe

Crowds chanting anti-Semitic slogans and voicing clear support for the terrorists attacking Israel rallies throughout Europe over the weekend.

In Germany, a mob gathered on Kurfurstendamm Avenue, waving flags and chanting Jude, Jude feiges Schwein! Komm heraus und kämpf allein!”  Which translates to “Jew, Jew, cowardly swine, come out and fight on your own!”

Rallies in Dortmund and Frankfurt chanted “Hamas Hamas Juden in gas!” meaning “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas!”

“We are currently experiencing in this country an explosion of evil and violent hatred of Jews, which shocks and dismays all of us,” Dieter Graumann of the Central Council of Jews in Germany said in a statement. “We would never in our lives have thought it possible anymore that anti-Semitic views of the nastiest and most primitive kind can be chanted on German streets.”

“Jews are once again openly threatened in Germany and sometimes attacked, synagogues are being defaced and declared as targets.”

In Paris, protesters ignored government bans and continued their vocal support of the terrorists attacking Israel.

Hundreds of protesters looted shops, burned cars and attacked a synagogue.  The attackers were yelling “F*** Israel” and “Israel assassin” as they attempted to access the synagogue and attack the Jewish citizens inside.

At least one Molotov cocktail struck the side of the synagogue according to French authorities.

None of the protest groups responded to reporters questions about why they were not concerned about the six million Israeli citizens being subjected to daily rocket attacks by the terrorist group Hamas.

Pastor Arrested For Crossing Police Barricade Found Not Guilty

A Texas appellate court has found a Texas pastor and a member of his congregation that had been arrested for crossing a police line at an event where they were protesting not guilty.

Pastor Joey Fault and members of the Kingdom Baptist Church in Venus, Texas were protesting at an event in Fort Worth Texas in October 2012.  When some of the event’s attendees were upset the Christians were passing out information and pamphlets that disagreed with the event’s mission, the police formed a human barricade to keep the Christians from being able to reach attendees.

Pastor Faust told the Christian News Network police told them that they could go no further and they were forbidden from even crossing the street.

The pastor and his group continued their protest but then noted police were allowing those who were not part of the church group to pass through their line and across the street.  The pastor then attempted to cross the street and was immediately seized upon by the police and arrested for “interfering with public duties.”  He was jailed for 20 hours and released on $1,500 bail.

Last May, a judge said the pastor and another member of his congregation who arrested on the same charge were guilty.  The case was appealed to the Second District of Texas Court of Appeals that ruled the men were not guilty and that the police had infringed on the First Amendment rights of the church.

“The skirmish line prohibited all member of the church from exercising their right of free speech merely because of their association with the church,” the court rules.  “This is too far a limitation.”

New York City Pastors Fight Policy Against Churches In Schools

A group of New York City pastors is banding together to get the policy banning churches from using public schools for worship services reversed despite a court saying schools had the right to ban Christians from their buildings.

Pastor William Devlin told the Christian post that he was optimistic the policy would be reversed and surprised many by saying the far-left mayor of the city was on their side.

“Pastors across New York City are very encouraged about recent developments on the right to worship. We know that Mayor de Blasio is with us 100 percent and any day we will hear that he has reversed the draconian and discriminatory Department of Education policy … we have his word,” Devlin told the Post.

An appeals court in New York City ruled in favor of the Board of Education in their battle against churches holding worship services in school building after school hours.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mayor Bill DeBlasio said “I believe that a faith-based organization has a right like anyone else … to use that space.”

The ruling against churches is being appealed to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

Police Break Up Egyptian Student Protest

Police broke up a student protest supporting ousted Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi.

The interior ministry told the BBC they were responding to a request from university authorities for help in containing the protest. The pro-Morsi students had been holding protests for weeks.

The move against the students came hours after the arrest of Essam al-Erian, the vice chairman of the Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party.

The students reportedly invaded the university’s offices and ransacked them before the police arrived at the campus. Photos on social media showed graffiti and damage to the university’s offices.

Egyptian Clashes Leave 44 Dead

Clashes between police and Muslim Brotherhood extremists have left at least 44 people dead and hundreds injured.

Officials said at least 200 members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood have been arrested for their parts in the violent protests.

The government had been trying to hold events for the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.  Hundreds gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square for a ceremony that included flyovers from jets and Apache helicopters.

That’s when the Brotherhood supporters took to the street to protest the government’s banning of their organization and continuing to complain about the removal of their leaders from positions of governmental power.

Egyptian Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi spoke on state TV to urge citizens to “stand together, be optimistic about the future” as the country approached a “critical time.”
