Following the historical overturningRoe v. WadeThe mob justice calls came in hard and fast on Friday. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez called the decision “illegitimate” and told people to “fill the streets.” Rep. Maxine Waters demanded people “defy” the ruling, shouting “to hell with the Supreme Court.”
Some people listened and violence broke out in cities like Seattle, DC and Los Angeles. Perhaps not surprisingly, Phoenix. RedState initially reported the events as they unfolded. Then things got so bad that the police used tear gas and declared it an unlawful assembly.
Now, we are getting more details about what transpired, including the fact that rioters got close enough to force the state’s senate into a recess, stopping their special session, with members saying they were being held “hostage” by the mob.

Members of the public are trying to break into our security and we’re currently being held hostage in the Senate Building. The office smells of teargas, and one of the member’s children is crying in fear. It is my expectation that a J24 committee will be established immediately.

Now, I’m not that old, but I’m old enough to remember when rioters forcing the business of government to cease, causing elected officials to be evacuated, was considered an insurrection. Was that what it was called? It was the 6th of January, which is the current topic for the endless hearings that the Democrat-led House holds.
But this is different, I’m sure. I mean, these rioters are justified because they want to continue to have the “right” to kill babies in the womb. If that’s not a righteous cause for violence and interference in the governmental order, then what is? Besides, none of them are wearing red hats, and that’s really, really important when judging what is and isn’t an “insurrection.”
You see, the left doesn’t actually care about “insurrection.” They care about their political priorities, and they are willing to support anything that helps bring them to fruition. A mob of rioters that reinforces these goals is given an exemption, as was the case with the BLM Riots of 2020. The “Night of Rage,” which was propped up by leftwing groups and promoted by leftwing politicians, will not be treated the way January 6th was. The DOJ will not investigate, there won’t be solitary confinement to take selfies and definitely no long-winded, politicized hearings.
I’m assured that these were just protests that got a bit too “loud.” It doesn’t matter that the end result, i.e. forcing the government to temporarily cease its duties while members fled into safe spaces, was exactly what previously defined January 6th as an “insurrection,” according to Democrats at least. Nothing matters but politics, and as long as the mob is pushing for the “right” thing, they will be treated with kid gloves.
Of course, things aren’t over. Violence is expected to increase as far-left activists and rioters organize on Saturday evening. However, this will also be mostly ignored.
