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.
Malkin was live streaming the event from her cell phone on Periscope Sunday afternoon as the situation deteriorated after masked thugs wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts assaulted two speakers and then set upon Malkin. A diminutive child of immigrants from the Philippine who legally moved to the U.S. in the late 1960s, Malkin, who was born in Philadelphia in 1970, describes herself as a “little brown woman” with a “big mouth.” Malkin linked to the entire 35 minute long Periscope video at her Twitter.
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.
At 3:55 PM MDT Sunday, right after being prevented from speaking, Malkin tweeted:
So @jaredpolis [Colorado Democrat Governor] @DenverPolice [Denver] Chief Pazen, are you ok with pro-police patriots being swarmed, targeted and assaulted in a clearly orchestrated attack??? I caught it all on video and recorded the faces of the brutal animals. Please @realDonaldTrump – we need LAW & ORDER!!! S.O.S!
@ Michael S:
I do not blame the cops they are only human. I believe local police forces in the USA will be mostly passive and ineffective. The head of the Austin TEXAS Police Union told the cops to stop active policing now after the election of a Dist. Attorney that is Anti Police and will bring every police shooting to a Grand Jury whether the circumstances warrant this or NOT.
In NY so many cops have retired they can not even process the paper work.
The US is going downhill fast. If Biden wins it might just completely crash beyond recognition.
If Trump hopefully does win, I think he will need try and change law enforcement in the US. It is all ready needed now. Violent criminals, rioters, anarchists, BLM organizers need to be rounded up. Federal police need to infiltrate them NOW.
@ Michael S:
Well, not really.
As soon as the globalists win. They’ll no longer need the street violence and they’ll stop it.
They’ll no longer need torror to stop anyone who opposes them. They’ll pass fascist laws and censorship will be imposed by the law enforcement.
No more need for BLM and Antifa thugs.
@ Bear Klein:
I don’t blame them, Bear. Unless Americans grow brains and other organs between now and November, we are headed for violent anarchy.
I’ve always been a fan of Michelle’ She is a warrier.
Yet another example of the left demonstrating that they are fascists. As Frontpagemag.com motto states “Inside Every Progressive Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out”
Is M. Malkin controversial or has she been made to be controversial!
Was/is a neo-con?
In this case she is on the correct side! My side!
NJ today, a judge attacked and son killed!!! Related to Epstein!!!?
Is GM safe?
@ Michael S:
Cops punch a clock now. They are afraid if they do their job they will end up in serious trouble potentially. So it is easier to do nothing.
“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.”
There, you have the reason this shameful thing was allowed to happen. Find out who tells the Denver police what to do, and you have the villain.
