Fresno police facilitated a citizen’s arrest of City Council President Miguel Arias on three counts of misdemeanor battery Tuesday evening, after reopen protesters went to his home.
Fresno! Gateway to Chowchilla!
Releasing the Parachute before you hit the ground. Not too smart.
“As I was saying that, he comes out of the apartment, grabs me by the arms, and tried to throw me down the stairs.”
To bad he only tried instead of succeeding.
Mob of idiots ignoring the health crisis shows up at his house — the MAGAs would be fine if he came out blasting with a shotgun, right? Justifiable fear of harm — isn’t that what the MAGAs always claim?
Dude should’ve called the cops. You can’t match stupid with stupid.
I wonder who’s footing the bill for these wannabe brown shirts to show up?
True, but they came into his residential apartment building, came up the stairs, and confronted him literally at the door of his apartment… Pushing the ringleader away is completely reasonable conduct in self-defense.
But yes, he should have then immediately called the police, Which he may have done.
You misspelled Tulare: A great place to micro-farm™
with his kids inside.
Finally, a justifiable case for “Stand Your Ground”.
Melting a MAGA Snowflake…
Nunes your business…
I think this is what’s called a sting, isn’t it?
Count backwards to 14 days and check out how many rallies were happening then… there’s a wave of Trump voters who put themselves at risk at a time when the virus was spreading everywhere.
It is a matter of days until we hear about a cluster bunch of them spreading it around and killing themselves and their loved ones.
Just a matter of time until they pivot from arrogant bluster about the virus being a hoax to violent anger that somehow the libs made it happen to them. I saw them do it with Roundup here in Kansas, those deep-red hatters who have cancer now blame Democrat lawyers, and they’ll find a way to do the same with covid when they realize they can no longer deny it.
The media needs to pay attention to that 14 day formula, because it will start adding up for the Trumpers in a big way, very soon.
Something has to give, and it probably won’t be the virus. Watch the news for it, there is an inevitable wave that seems to be rolling headlong towards Trump’s goons and they think they can surf it. I’m just waiting to see how they make the pivot to fear and hate from arrogant certitude and hate.
“wannabe brownshirts”? No, real brownshirts.
As you say,finding a way to blame the “libtards” for it. “YOU DID THIS TO ME!”
I would be surprised if Putin whores like Richard Grennell and Erik Prince are not behind the protests. These are human scumbags that will do anything for sex, money and power.
Due respect to Kate Riga here, but she probably should have dug in a bit on the idiots who accosted the councilman. Ben Bergquam is bad news, and when neo-nazis gather, Ben is all over it. His kind of people. I’d like to know more about the guys precise organization affiliations.
That is their only option, they can’t admit they were wrong even if they catch it. They’ll pivot somehow once they can’t deny it any longer.
A lot of that is sufficiently inferred. excellent article all round. Thanks for the info, though, always helps to have extra information from the TPM crowd. Could you provide some more links to the Bergquam articles?
