The mob broke his OAK front door, that's not easy to do. And the left media denies they are mobs. that's just not true, the motherfuckers are no better than the KKK.

This is being investigated as a hate crime as it most certainly is and should be. I would very much like to see the new Senate pass a law making it a hate crime to attack any member of the news or political party or law enforcement at home or in public.

A year and a day in jail strictly enforced might put a stop to this nonsense.

IT MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE THEY START KILLING PEOPLE.



Antifa Protesters Target Fox News' Tucker Carlson At His Home

Antonia Blumberg
,HuffPost•November 8, 2018


Police responded Wednesday night when anti-fascist activists showed up at the Washington, D.C., home of Tucker Carlson and began banging on the door and shouting threats like, “We know where you sleep at night.”

The Fox News host wasn’t home and neither were any of his four children. But his wife was there and quickly locked herself in the pantry and called 911.

“It wasn’t a protest. It was a threat,” Carlson told The Washington Post on Thursday. “They weren’t protesting anything specific that I had said. They weren’t asking me to change anything. They weren’t protesting a policy or advocating for legislation. ... They were threatening me and my family and telling me to leave my own neighborhood in the city that I grew up in.”

Carlson has drawn criticism for his rhetoric on immigration, for routinely promoting vitriol toward Democrats, for defending nationalism and more. The host is well aware of the animosity of his critics. He recently complained he can’t eat at most D.C. restaurants because people frequently yell insults at him.

“I don’t feel threatened, but having someone scream ‘Fuck you!’ at a restaurant, it just wrecks your meal,” he said on a National Review podcast.

Wednesday night’s protest, though, marked a turning point, Carlson said. A group of roughly 20 people gathered outside his home and banged against the door, calling the Fox host a “racist scumbag” and demanding that he “leave town,” according to since-deleted posts on Twitter.

Videos of the protest were reportedly posted online by an anti-fascist group called Smash Racism D.C., the Twitter account of which has since been suspended. In one of the deleted videos, a woman could be heard saying she wanted to “bring a pipe bomb” to Carlson’s house.

“How can you go out for dinner and leave the kids at home at this point?” Carlson said. “If they’re talking about pipe bombs ... how do you live like that?”

A member of Smash Racism D.C.’s Facebook group confirmed to HuffPost that it had organized the protest at Carlson’s home.

“We 100 percent stand by our decision to publicly shame Tucker Carlson” even though “direct action can be uncomfortable,” the group told HuffPost.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace issued a statement Thursday condemning the incident.

“The incident that took place at Tucker’s home last night was reprehensible,” the statement said. “The violent threats and intimidation tactics toward him and his family are completely unacceptable. We as a nation have become far too intolerant of different points of view.”

Media figures across the political spectrum condemned the protest. Matthew Gertz, a senior fellow at liberal media watchdog Media Matters who has criticized Carlson in the past, called the activists’ confrontation “way over the line.”

“Going to someone’s home, breaking their door, and terrorizing their family is unacceptable,” Gertz said in a tweet. “It’s also extremely counterproductive if your interest is actually in reducing his influence.”

You're not afraid of the lefties, are you?


If you think it is funny that a mob like that attacks someones home while the wife is home alone then you are no better than the Antifa. I'm thankful the kids weren't there too.


I think it would be funny if your wife and/or mother were to be attacked on the street.

I bet you would think that would be funny too.


Right?

It sounds like he has put himself in this situation, and he is now using his wife and children as a human shield.

How the fuck did he put himself in this situation? A mob for all intents and purposes broke into his home and members of that mob threatened to bomb the home. They were not there to protest. They were there to intimidate and threaten. They committed serious crimes. Why did they do this? Because he said something they didn't like hearing.
If they didn't like what he was saying they should have done what civil people do and change the fucking channel.

Girl please your own sorry ignorant ass.

even you are not so fucking dense to not realize the difference between rhetoric for ratings and actual threats of violence.

There is this right we have. Called free speech last I heard not only is it legal but it is actually protected by the constitution.

Trespassing, breaking into homes, bomb scares and threatened imminent harm...those are not protected. Those are crimes.

If you really believe Tucker and his family deserved this do all of humanity a favor and walk in front of a speeding bus. We will all thank you.

Yeah you pretty much did. The report obviously mentions threats of violence and you replied, "How did a TV personality well know for stirring shit up and saying awful things bring awful reactions upon himself?"

So violent threats were made and you are blaming the person who was on the receiving end of those threats because he said something on tv.

Yes you did say awful reactions. As you were replying to my comment it isn't a leap at all that you were referencing the behavior the mob displayed I mentioned in my post. In fact it would be stupid to assume anything other than you were referencing the violent acts.

you fucked up. You inferred he deserved the threats of violence and attacks because he said something. You realize you fucked up and now you are trying to back off the statement.

There was no flub. People who say/do awful things bring upon themselves awful reactions. It's like when Kathy Griffin did the thing with the fake Trump head. She earned herself awful reactions. One of them was losing her job.

There's absolutely nothing in that logic that suggests one should tolerate illegal acts. Y'all are just really stupid and looking for reasons to be angsty.

Can you honestly say that Carlson's wife deserved to be terrorized to the point where she had to hide in the pantry and call the police and her brother-in-law, while the mob screamed insults and threats and broke her ***OAK*** front door, just because Carlson said something on TV that they did not like?

BTW, they were all wearing masks just like the KKK.

A little history lesson for you.

Do you know why the cannonballs bounced off the sides of The USS Constitution? (Old Ironsides).

Sheets of iron?

No, it is constructed of good old solid American oak.


"USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy named by President George Washington after the United States Constitution. She is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat."

I bet the lovely thoughts he feels empowered to share from a soundstage surrounded by armed guards would quickly get moderated if he had to do all of his broadcasts live from the middle of Times Square.

A lot of our problems as a nation would clear up if the people exercising their free speech were just required to do it in nearer proxomity to the rest of their fellow Americans.

Also while we're making hypothetical changes to improve our democracy and discourse, let's see if we can't get some of that post-voting neighborhood BBQ action Australia has going here. Please and thank you.

Look who is talking about reading comprehension.

I used that analogy to point out how tough the wood is. But, I guess that is too much of a reach for you.

Hell, I still have my grandfathers oak cane and it is older than you and I put together, but as strong as the day it was made.

A paneled oak door wouldn't be that difficult to crack. It was a 6 paneled door and those panels aren't glued into place so they can move with temperature swings. They also get pretty thin at the dado slots. The correct maintenance in extreme temperatures is fairly important and why I choose mahogany for a wooden entry door. I'd sure like to get a closer look at the damage than the link below.

This post doesn't mean that I agree with the harassment, trespassing, and breakage of property. Crimes have been committed.

No, you disagree with Retard Rod's belief that an oak door is nearly indestructible except when faced by liberal mobs. That means you condone the violence and the crimes. Retard Rod now thinks you're a sick liberal. Congrats on that.

After seeing a rational explanation of oak doors and how and why they are more easily broken than I thought, I must acquiesce to TJ.
