A monument desecrating Antifa mob gathered in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Monday to remove a statue of Spanish conqueror Juan de Onate. They wrapped a chain around the statue, began tugging and yelled: Tear it down.”
Counter-protesters and people putting on a prayer vigil in an effort to preserve statues were on the scene in an effort to reportedly try and preserve history and defend the statue.
Things turned violent as Antifa rioters started to chase a counter-protester and beat him severely with a skateboard and punched him.
Video Shows Antifa’s Evil Intent
A video shows the incident go down and Antifa agitators’ brutality in just another violent protest in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
As the cellphone footage shows, Steven Ray Baca, 31, attempted to protect the statue when a mob descended on him. He used pepper spray to try and keep a distance between him and the group, a witness said. He was still chased him down and was beaten.

“The group appeared to maliciously pursue Steven, with several of the crowd’s individuals striking Steven’s body with their hands and legs,” the report stated Fox News reported.
Someone in the crowd yells, “We’re going to f—ing kill you.” Shortly after that, Baca pulls a gun in self-defense and shoots.
Self-Defender Gets Arrested
The police came on the scene and arrested Baca on suspicion of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. However, the people who brutally attacked the counter-protester were let off scot-free.
The man attacked by ANTIFA in New Mexico could have shot when he was beaten with the plank of wood with metal bolted to it (skateboard), but he didn’t.
He retreated yet the terrorist mob chased him down and attacked, yelling “kill him!”
That’s as justified as a shooting gets.

According to police, the man who was shot was later identified as Scott Williams, where he was listed as in critical but stable condition.
People took to Twitter and other social media with the phrase “New Mexico self defense shooting” trended on Twitter.
Members of the New Mexico Civil Guard came on the scene to also try and protect the statue, but the protesters still were intent on pulling it down, according to The Albuquerque Journal.
It did not appear that Baca had any connection to the self-described civilian militia group who dressed in camouflage and carried long guns.
Democrats Call for Gun Control
The Democrat mayor of Albuquerque, Tim Keller, could not let this incident pass without using it to demand gun control. He called on state lawmakers to pass future gun control legislation, particularly amendments to the state Constitution that would allow cities to govern citizens’ right to bear arms.
“We’ve tried to do what we can do. We’ve banned guns at community centers… and we’ve been tied up in federal court ever since that ban actually took place,” he said. “So, we do know there’s an opportunity here for our state legislature to take this up in the next session and try to change that constitutional amendment.”
In regards to backlash over police not stepping in or not being there altogether, the Albuquerque City Councilor Pat David described the tricky situation of having three separate groups to contend with.
“Those charged with making decisions about engagement have put our officers in the impossible situation of protecting the rights of conflicting protesters while not intervening to prevent the inevitable conflicts,” David said. “At its core, policing is about protecting life and property. By that standard, the city failed on both counts last night.”
When defending yourself against Antifa mobs becomes a possible life sentence, the concept of self-defense almost becomes non-existent.

Why is Antifa being allowed to do this in America
Because Democrats have unilateral control of legal systems in BLUE STATES!
The Democrat POS Mayor, Govenors and Politicians are going to turn the US into a Third world Country. Anybody that Votes for a Demorat is a complete Moron and deserve what they get
CONRAD,,,,,NOBODY COULD HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER….THOSE SISSY DEMO-RATS AND THOSE SISSY NAZI PUNKS SHOULD BE BANNED OUTSIDE OF AMERICA, BUT FIRST BEATEN TILL NOT ONE DROP OF BLOOD REMAINS IN THEIR ROTTEN BODIES,,,,
THEY MUST HAVE SOME HORRIBLE DISEASE TO TREAT AMERICA THE WAY THEY DO
So if the guy died from his injuries, no one would be prosecuted? This is what justice is in the Democratic-Socialist-Marxist world. Mind as well defund the police – they aren’t allowed to do anything anyway. Up to us citizens. If they think militia or vigilantes are bad and wrong; then allow our law enforcement to ENFORCE THE LAWS AND PROTECT CITIZENS like they are supposed to!
That is a damn good question? Why is Antifa allowed to get away with all this BULLSH T!
SCREW ALL A**HOLE democrat bastards.
Every American should be armed, locked and loaded and prepared to defend their lives, families, neighbors, property, rights and communities and to kill anyone (including politicians and their praetorian guards) who try to stop them. That’s actually what the original militia was for. Think Lexington in 1775.
The only good Leftist is a Dead Leftist, especially if they are AntifaTards or Black LIES Matter sewer maggots. We need an 24/7, No Bag Limit Open Season on Antifa and BLM, just like we have on Feral Hogs who destroy our land, we need to destroy these human Pigs who are also destroying our Nation! Lets make all Antifa and BLM into peaceful bodies by putting them down for permanent dirt naps! That is all they deserve! TRUMP LANDSLIDE 2020! KAG!
If you notice where Antifa gets away with this crap, either the city or state is controlled by DIM-o-wits who in my humble opinion may be financially supporting them under the table. NO PROOF, just a suspicion of mine. Hopefully that is all that it is, a suspicion, but it sure makes me wonder when the mayor’s keep the police from interferring in their terrorist activities. Just look at Seattle, Portland and several other cities and states that are controlled by DIM-o-wit Mayors and Governors like “I was not aware of it INSLEE”
One center mass! One to the head! Your work is FINISHED! I guarantee these communist will break and run to mommie’s basement and play video games and practice their skateboard prowess! Let them drop a deuce on on their parents carpeting! Not on our city streets!
This is waaaay out of control. The mayor and all of his counterparts are cowards. You do not let someone who is beating the shit out of some else with a skateboard and the person trying to
use all other avenues like pepper stray to protect himself and use the very last measure to save his life, a gun for defense himself to save his life and charge him and not even charge the others with aggravated assault is way out of control. You people have bouled down to nothing other then the devil and you will pay for your own conviction. I will not pay because of your stupid political butt shit.
LEFT-DEMOCRATS are determined to make America into a hell-hole of tyrannical-Leftism—–NO FREEDOM, …NO TRUTH,… NO DECENCY!
They are Satan’s minions who are promoting the ‘anti-humanity’ SPIRIT-OF-ANTI-CHRIST. The Democrat-Left believes they have the moral-highground,.. but they see life INVERSELY to truth, goodness, and rational common-sense,… because they are entranced by doctrines-of-demons that seduce them to believing that THEY can eradicate-evil from the world (like the nazis believed), ERROR-1,… while at the same time RE-DEFINING, OR DISTORTING what ‘evil’ actually IS.
The distortion-of-evil indoctrination process has been going on a long time in Academia-and-Media/Entertainment,…. so has become a strong-hold of true wickedness in the MINDS, and EMOTIONS of people who have abandoned the principles of truth of the Bible, in post-modern society.
MANY of the young who are immersed in the LEFTIST-SCREED, are completely loyal to DOCTRINES-OF-DEMONS. They can’t be reasoned with,… they can only be defeated,… humbled, … and re-educated to Truth, Liberty,… and God of the Bible.
I’ve seen LEFTIST -INDOCTRINATION slowly sweep across America, and the world during my lifetime,…
BEGINNING WITH INSIDIOUS ATTACKS AGAINST THE BASIC-TRUTHS,.. and UNDERSTANDING of the morality of the Bible!
Beginning with the TEN-COMMANDMENTS being removed from my grade-school in the 1960”s,… and then Bible-teaching,.. prayer,… and even mention of God of the Bible.
It only took a handful of LEFTISTS,… and a couple of Supreme-Court Justices,… and a few sympathetic, and wicked media-people, and entertainment-shows (like ‘All in the Family’,.. ‘Mash’,.. etc. to poke-holes in Biblical-morality,.. and Americanism ‘Liberty,.. in God We Trust,… and E Pluribus Unum,… to begin the slow-but-steady-slide-into the a-moral, Anti-Bible ABYSS, that we now find our country in.
If not for our great President, Donald Trump,.. and a few solid Conservative leaders,… and un-named Bible-believing , and/or AMERICA AND FREEDOM LOVERS,….. we would already be destroyed!
BUT WE ARE NOT DESTROYED,… and we shall,… with GOD’S GRACE,.. overcome the evil-deceivers, and their mindless-minions in our midst!
We , each of us, has a purpose, which God will reveal to each one,.. and give us the COURAGE to walk in!
Don’t be afraid of the wicked,… don’t despair of the deceit,… remain calm and faithful in the grace, power, and love of The Lord Jesus Christ!
