VIDEO: Black Lives Matter militants march by outdoor diners — who make absolutely sure their fists are raised in solidarity



As Black Lives Matter militants intimidate and bully more and more people, certain messages seem to be getting across — one of them being, "We own you. We'll do what we want to you. Do as we say, and maybe we'll leave you alone — but don't dare stand up for yourself, or you'll be sorry."

What's the background?

Who can forget the outrageous scenes in late August when leftist militants were caught on video harassing Washington, D.C., restaurant patrons because they refused to raise their fists in Black Lives Matter solidarity like other patrons seated around them?

A viral video showed Black Lives Matter militants harassing elderly diners outside a Pittsburgh restaurant over Labor Day weekend, cursing at them and even taking a sip of a drink. Three of the alleged culprits were charged.

It got worse in St. Petersburg, Florida, in late September when protesters harassed and threatened two elderly diners. One of the diners, a woman, made the mistake of battling back when a protester sat in a seat at their table — which resulted in the couple being surrounded. One protester was heard asking the other diner, a man, "Why don't you shut up? Who the f*** you think you're talking to?" The activist who stole the seat told the woman, "I'll knock your old-ass boyfriend the f*** out!" and accused her of being a "wild Karen in her natural f***ing habitat!"

Also in September, Black Lives Matter protesters descended upon outdoor diners in Rochester, New York, forcing patrons to leave while smashing up tables and throwing chairs. Amid the terrifying scene, incredibly one of the BLM assailants yelled at retreating patrons, "There's no need to run! Nobody's hurting y'all! We're shutting the party down! Nobody's gonna touch you! Calm down!"

Learning their lessons?

Which brings us to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the scene of yet another Black Lives Matter march on Sunday evening. Multiple media outlets had declared former Vice President Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election against President Donald Trump the day before, but unrest was still in the air apparently.

Video journalist Brendan Gutenschwager recorded a clip of the BLM militants marching down a street — and four diners watching from the sidewalk and obediently raising their fists, apparently without having to be ordered to do so:

Well, one of diners lifted his palm skyward — but apparently that was good enough for the protesters.

In fairness, another video showed a number of diners who didn't raise their fists and weren't harassed for not doing so; and perhaps the diners who raised their fists actually agreed with the cause of Black Lives Matter and were only too happy to show their solidarity.

But still the Pavlovian response from the four diners indeed demonstrates how quickly bad news travels — and how speedily some learn the Ps and Qs of finding yourself in the middle of a left-wing protest.

'At some point, they're gonna sit at the wrong table': Black civil rights official predicts 'violence' against protesters who harass diners



A black civil rights official predicted to "Fox & Friends" Friday that "violence" awaits "intimidators" who've been harassing restaurant diners as part of protests against alleged racial injustice and police brutality.

What are the details?

Peter Kirsanow, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, told the network that protesters who have been harassing easily picked-on diners — many of them elderly — will soon overplay their hand: "It's not gonna end well at some point. At some point, they're gonna sit at the wrong table, and it's gonna have some violence."

Reacting to video of two elderly diners harassed and threatened by protesters in St. Petersburg, Florida, hours after a grand jury on Wednesday decided to not charge police in connection to Breonna Taylor's shooting death, Kirsanow took the bullying leftists to task.

"This type of behavior obviously is unjustified, but it's rationalized by these protesters — and they're not even protesters: They're intimidators, disruptors of the peace, in some cases they engage in overt violence, but it's rationalized by them because of this false narrative of systemic racism and that cops are disproportionately shooting blacks," he told "Fox & Friends."

What happened to the elderly diners?

Video of the St. Petersburg incident shows a mob of protesters repeatedly chanting, "Stand up, fight back!" while facing diners at a restaurant before one apparent activist pulls up a seat at a table occupied by an older man and woman.

The woman at the table quickly stands up and says, "Nope, this is my table" and unsuccessfully attempts to tip the protester out of the chair before he slams it back down — and then two more activists fill the remaining empty seats while flashing signs and joining the chant. Additional activists followed and stood to surround the couple.

One activist can be heard telling the man, "Why don't you shut up? Who the f*** you think you're talking to?" before the first activist who stole a seat told the woman, "I'll knock your old-ass boyfriend the f*** out!" and accused her of being a "wild Karen in her natural f***ing habitat!"

"Fox & Friends" said the video quickly went viral and received more than 1.8 million views on Twitter in under 12 hours.

Not the first time

The St. Pete bullied diners weren't the first victims of this type of left-wing intimidation.

A group of leftist militants were caught on video harassing Washington, D.C., restaurant patrons late last month, apparently because they refused to raise their fists in Black Lives Matter solidarity like other patrons seated around them.

Also in early September, Black Lives Matter protesters descended upon outdoor diners in Rochester, New York, forcing patrons to leave while smashing up tables and throwing chairs.

Anything else?

Kirsanow also noted in his "Fox & Friends" interview that there's no data showing that black people are disproportionately targeted in police shootings and that media members have handled police shootings of unarmed black people "irresponsibly."

And as for the charge that "systemic racism" is infecting our country, he said that "the evidence, the data, for decades now, has been irrefutable that that is not the case."

"There's a huge cohort of individuals that leap on the initially reported facts and perpetuate them because many of the facts related to George Floyd, for example, Breonna Taylor, began to come out, but the media wasn't reporting them, and this type of hysteria develops because of a false narrative, and it needs to be corrected because something is going to happen soon," Kirsanow added. "We've already seen billions of dollars' worth of property damage, in large part because of the belief in this false narrative."

DC mayor tells diners to call cops on abusive protesters, condemns 'highly inappropriate' behavior of BLM demonstrators



A video of Black Lives Matter protesters harassing diners in Washington, D.C., went viral this week. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) condemned the behavior seen in the videos and instructed people to call the cops if they are being harassed by abusive protesters.

"What I saw in those videos was highly inappropriate, it was likely against the law if they were on private property but more importantly, I don't think it had anything to do with demands for social justice," Bowser said Wednesday, according to Washington Post reporter Fenit Nirappil.

"We would encourage any diner or restaurant to call the police immediately," Bowser advised.

"I would venture to say that the vast majority of those experiences have been 100 percent positive," Bowser said of dining experiences in Washington, D.C. "I also don't think that D.C. residents would be bullied out of living their everyday lives."

Bowser was reacting to a viral video of a mob of protesters harassing diners in the Adams Morgan neighborhood that was shared by Washington Post writer Frederick Kunkle on Tuesday. Video shows the demonstrators demanding that all of the diners at a restaurant raise their fists in solidarity of the Black Lives Matter movement.

"In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants, chanting 'White silence is violence!' and demanding White diners show their solidarity," Kunkle wrote on Twitter.

"In Adams Morgan, protesters screamed at Lauren B. Victor for several minutes for refusing to raise her fist with them. 'Are you a Christian?' a female protester demanded," Kunkle said.

"I felt I was under attack," Victor said, according to Kunkle. "In the moment, it didn't feel right."

"I wasn't actually frightened. I didn't think they'd do anything to me," Victor reportedly said. "I'm very much with them. I've been marching with them for weeks and weeks and weeks."

Another video of restaurant patrons being harassed went viral this week. The leftist mob demands that everyone at the restaurant raise their hands in solidarity. When two diners don't comply, they are shamed and have profanities screamed at them.

Earlier this month, Black Lives Matter protesters harassed people eating dinner in the D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown. The demonstrators also shouted and banged pots in an effort to wake up a residents late at night.

Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality have escalated this week following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Blake is paralyzed from the waist down, according to his father.
