This Is What It Will Take

     Precisely this and nothing less:

     When word started spreading that the same protesters that had just broken windows and looted stores in Spokane were going to come to Coeur d’Alene, hundreds of citizens mobilized to protect their community. So when the protesters did show up on Monday night, they quickly discovered that a very heavily armed “welcoming committee” was waiting for them....

     If you are not familiar with the geography of the area, Coeur d’Alene is not very far from the city of Spokane, Washington, and there had been quite a bit of rioting in Spokane on Sunday night.

     In fact, one local news source described it as “a frenzied night of tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bangs” as police worked tirelessly to end the vandalism and looting. At one point, the Spokane Police Department actually sent out a cellphone alert warning everyone in the region to “avoid the downtown core area”…

     Police used tear gas and rubber bullets to get control of protesters who were rioting and in the downtown area of Spokane, destroying property. Rioters sprayed graffiti, broke windows, and looted select businesses.

     In the aftermath of that horrible night, word began to spread that protesters were planning to show up in Coeur d’Alene on Monday night, and that is precisely what happened…

     But north Idahoans are not without their own resources:

     But there were no riots because the protesters discovered that they were vastly outnumbered by the locals that were waiting to “welcome” them.

     A reporter for the Coeur d’Alene Press was in the downtown area on Monday evening, and he reported that “hundreds of citizens” had mobilized to protect the city…

     Soon, more armed men, self-described as a loosely formed group of patriots, arrived. They took up posts at corners on both sides of Sherman Avenue.
     Later, they were joined by hundreds of citizens packing rifles, semi-automatic weapons, handguns, and bows and arrows.
     The sidewalks were packed with people walking up and down Sherman Avenue, firearms proudly displayed for all to see.

     Apparently the would-be “protestors” weren’t mortally foolish. But sooner or later, some AntiFa or BLM type will think “Naah, they wouldn’t dare.” Remember that you read it here first.

That ONE will become a Leftist Martyr.

His/Her daring will wake up hundreds more - who will conclude - don't F*** with 'em.

Any bets it will be a female that provides the object lesson?

Something similar would happen down here in Southwest Virginia. Almost every one I know owns at least one firearm, and considering one antifa "protester" said "we're coming for rural America next," I say come on down, bro. You'll enjoy the scenery. For a few seconds, at least.

So gld that we're leaving So. Cal end of the month. Th police would be busy arresting homeowners if that happened here. New community in Texas has one road in, one out. You can bet antifa would get a warm reception should they come there.

I call bullshit on the Proud Boys showing up. They would be more likely to support the citizens of Coeur d’Alene. Plus, Po Po have pretty much shut them down.
