Protesters in Seattle have clashed with the officers, vandalised several buildings and set fire to a construction site for a county juvenile detention facility, forcing local police to declare a riot due to “public safety risks.” After a group of protesters set fire to the King County facility construction site, police have issued “dispersal orders” and were forced to deploy “less-lethal munitions” to clear the area and secure access to the fire for the city’s fire department. In response the officers were pelted with stones, bottles, liquid-filled balloons and other projectiles, as well as “some sort of explosives,” Seattle Police Department said on […]
The US Customs and Border Protection agency has taken credit for a Portland protester’s hot-button arrest this week, saying the man was a criminal suspect. Critics, however, claim he was ‘kidnapped’ by agents wearing no insignia. The CBP sought to address the incident in a statement on Friday, noting that the protester arrested one day prior was suspected of vandalism and attacks on agents amid anti-police brutality demonstrations, which it said were organized by “violent anarchists.” “CBP agents had information indicating the person… was suspected of assaults against federal agents or destruction of federal property,” the agency said, adding that “once […]
A Catholic church in Connecticut was vandalized sometime between Wednesday night and early Thursday, possibly becoming the latest casualty in a US culture war that has increasingly targeted Christian figures in recent days. Masses and other activities were canceled at least through Thursday at St. Joseph’s Church in New Haven as parish leaders assessed the damage, including what appear to be satanic and anarchist symbols painted on the building’s doors, the Rev. John Paul Walker said in a Facebook post. Once services resume, the church doors will only be unlocked for masses and confession. The New Haven incident marks the latest […]
Police in Martinez, California, have asked the public to help them identify a woman, filmed defacing a Black Lives Matter mural, greenlit by the city, while her partner was arguing that the “narrative of racism” is a liberal lie.

The mural in support of the ongoing protests against police brutality was speedily approved by the city. However, it was in need of an urgent fix only a couple of hours into its existence after a […]

Earlier this week the Gateway Pundit announced a prayer rally on Saturday at the iconic St. Louis Statue on Art Hill in Forest Park. We planned the rally because there is currently a petition by local leftist and radical Umar Lee to remove this beautiful landmark in St. Louis City.There is also a movement to rename the city because St. Louis was “Islamophobic.” And like clockwork local Islamist Umar Lee and the left smeared TGP and Christians who planned on attending the prayer rally as “white nationalists.” On Friday, in the most egregious attack on this rally yet, St. Louis City […]
