Maxine Waters history of inciting mob violence

Maxine Waters has a history of inciting mob violence

Where did this all begin? And with WHOM?

In one of the ugliest days in American history, California trucker Reginald Denny was pulled from his dump truck by a mob of Los Angeles-area gangsters and mercilessly beaten to the edge of death. His brutal assailants used a claw hammer, bricks and other blunt objects to break Denny’s jaw, shatter his eye socket and fracture more than 100 bones in his body.

Denny would join more than 2,000 others injured in the devastating 1992 L.A. riots which resulted in 63 deaths, 9,500 arrests and over $1 billion in property damages. Yet, when asked to reflect on those lawless days of bloody turmoil, California Rep. Maxine Waters (D) recalled that the violence was “understandable, if not acceptable” and called the riots “a defining moment in this country.” (AMEN! On behalf of the Marxist communist agenda to destroy this nation.)

Insurrectionist

Waters, who represented the Golden State’s 29th district at the time of the violent uprising on April 29, could have used her leverage as a black leader to discourage the anarchy.  Instead, even after the casualty count stood at nine killed and dozens wounded, Waters encouraged her community to fight on. (Does that demonstrate one who is working for peace on behalf of the black community and this nation?)

“There are those who would like for me and others and all of us to tell people to go inside, to be peaceful, that they have to accept the verdict,” she said, standing alongside representatives from the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “I accept the responsibility of asking people not to endanger their lives. I am not asking people not to be angry.”

She continued, choking on her own bitter resentment. “I am angry and I have a right to that anger and the people out there have a right to that anger.”

That may have been true, but “the people out there” certainly didn’t have a right to burn down their neighbors small businesses or make off with big screen TVs and VCRs. (Nor 'the right' to assault and to cause the death of innocent people.)

Using a strategy that would be repeated following riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, St. Paul, Baton Rouge, and a dozen other towns and cities, Waters insisted that the unrest in L.A. should be characterized as a politically-driven, justified reaction to oppression, rather than an opportunistic period of mob rule.

“If you call it a riot,” Waters maintained at the time, “it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a 'rebellion'.”

However, looters were not hauling off sofas to avenge Rodney King, and they certainly weren’t targeting Korean convenience store owners out of a desperate need for bread and diapers.

Even as Waters’ own district (which she does NOT LIVE IN by the way) was being torn asunder, she rejected Mayor Tom Bradley’s description of the vandals as “criminals” and “gangsters,” and insisted that the destruction be referred to as “an insurrection.”

Making heroes out of villains

A contemporary Washington Post report noted that black leaders like Waters “wandered from one television channel to another deploring what the King verdict had brought, but they were not seen on the streets imploring the mob to go home.” Indeed, they whipped their vigilante fury to bacchanalian heights by blaming the bloodshed on then president George H.W. Bush and LAPD Chief Daryl Gates.

Long after order was restored by the very police officers Waters loved to demonize, she took the unfathomable position of supporting a homicidal racist when she visited the family home of Damien Williams, the leader of the mob who attempted to murder Denny. Waters was present to show her support and celebrate with Williams’ mother, as her son was sent to prison on a single felony charge.

During a weekend rally in L.A., Maxine told supporters: "Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.

Just as she did over a quarter-century ago in her own district, Waters is exploiting the unspent anger and barely restrained violence held by her supporters and channeling this rage to satisfy her own political ends. It is no coincidence that her extremist call-to-action follows D-list celebrity Tom Arnold’s promise to make President Donald Trump’s 11-year-old son “uncomfortable” by showing up at his school, or actor Peter Fonda’s threat to rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and “put him in a cage with pedophiles.”

Waters is an accomplished race-baiter, an instigator-extraordinaire who will stop at nothing to see her bigoted worldview advanced to the detriment of her political foes.

The worst part? It’s only a matter of time before Waters yells “fire” in a crowded theater once again.

Unfortunately, Waters failed to learn from her mistakes, and continues to stand opposed to peaceful civil discourse.
