With riots spreading at lightning-fast speed this Saturday, mass carnage and tragedy played out across the nation as more businesses were burnt to a crisp, more police cruisers were vandalized and more lives were nearly cut short.
But in one instance, mass tragedy of untold proportions was averted thanks to the quick-thinking actions of a news station security guard.
Watch, and keep an eye out for the punk with an AR-15:
According to reports, as the thugs seen in the video were breaking into and vandalizing police cruisers in downtown Seattle, one of them discovered an AR-15 assault rifle and decided to grab it like he’s some sort of trained hotshot.
That’s when a security guard with local news station KCPQ rushed to action and grabbed the gun from the kid, lest he hurt someone.
“[O]ur security guard felt that the public was in danger. He took the AR 15 from the rioter and disabled it,” KCPQ’s Brandi Kruse reported in a tweet afterward.
“We called 911 and waited to hand it over and continue our reporting. Protesters surrounded us, calling us police.”
Look:
As I explained on air, our security guard felt that the public was in danger. He took the AR 15 from the rioter and disabled it. We called 911 and waited to hand it over and continue our reporting. Protesters surrounded us, calling us police. (1/2) https://t.co/q9jypdxfco

I repeated over and over I was press. One protester told me to leave the area because I would not be safe there. That’s behind us, reporting continues on Q13FOX.

But of course, the good guy — the security guard — was portrayed as the bad guy. This has become the norm in a backward America where looters and rioters are heralded as freedom fighters who just want to be heard, while everyday Americans who just want to work hard and take care of their families are treated like utter garbage.
What happened in Seattle thanks to the security guard’s quick-thinking actions was a lone event that contrasted sharply with the evil that was seen elsewhere.
In Philadelphia, rioters set a Starbucks on fire, thus destroying the job of at least one barista, if not two, three, four or more.

In Dallas, a store owner was nearly beaten to death — his condition remains unknown thanks to a lack of interest by the national media — while trying to use a large sword to defend his store from the political left’s beloved rioters.

In Rochester, New York, heartless thugs brutally assaulted a husband and wife couple for trying to defend their store from vandalism.

In numerous cities across America — too many to name, to be frank — stores were looted by rioters who some on the left have claimed were “white supremacists.”

Meanwhile, the political left continues to downplay or make excuses for the rioting, with a stunning number of left-wing media outlets arguing the rioters are just “expressing themselves” because “rioting is the language of the unheard.”
Wrong.
As renowned conservative commentator Ben Shapiro noted in a tweet early Sunday morning, rioting and destroying personal property is the language of the wicked.
Look:
I returned from a two-day Jewish holiday and half the country is on fire. We all agree on George Floyd, which is why a bad cop is now under arrest. Anyone who defends looting and rioting and targeting of business-owners and cops on this basis is nothing short of evil.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 31, 2020
American civil rights attorney Leo Terrell agrees.
“There is universal acceptance that the murder of George Floyd was wrong. We agree with that,” he said during an appearance Friday evening on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
But Floyd’s death, he continued, doesn’t justify this.
“These are criminals and they are breaking the law using the guise of caring about George Floyd,” he said. “And, I encourage all you Democratic lawmakers, all you lawmakers, to stand up and criticize these criminals.”
Indeed, because if this is allowed to continue, there will come a point when the genuinely good people who work hard, take care of their families and just want to live in peace will decide to start fighting back. And when that happens, it won’t be pretty …
