Homeland Security Investigations authored a federal arrest affidavit for Nicholas Joseph Bantista, from Illinois, for taking part in a protest on September 25th. In the complaint, it is alleged that Bantista assaulted a federal agent by throwing a rock at them.

Federal agents were stationed in front of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office protecting it from rioters and looters. While one was on patrol, Bantista, allegedly, armed himself with a rock and threw it at the agent, striking him in the helmet.

While Bantista was being placed under arrest, federal agents reported finding an airsoft replica gun [looked real] from his person.

He claimed that he threw some type of bouncy ball at the agent.

Natalie Wight, an Assistant US Attorney, informed a federal judge that Bantista was currently staying in a tent in the city of Portland. He had been there for less than a week, and according to the Oregonian, she alleged that he had only come to the city “to wreak havoc during these riots.”

Bantista is familiar with the legal system as he is already on probation out of Illinois for assaulting a police officer. In that instance, he was convicted of aggravated assault with a firearm for waving a gun and telling police that he would fire it if they did not shoot him.

Despite [public defender] Francesconi’s claims, US Magistrate Judge Youlee Yim You sided with the prosecution on this case for now.

Headline: Iraq war vet was attacked and defended himself; political correctness got him indicted, now he's dead

By Pat Droney, September 21, 2020 [edited for brevity]

On May 30, Jake Gardner, an owner of a Nebraska bar and a military veteran who served two tours in Iraq was attacked outside his bar by “peaceful” protesters who were rioting, er, protesting in Omaha after the death of George Floyd. On Sept 20, Gardner killed himself, law enforcement officials and Gardner’s lawyers said.

The Epoch Times said that Gardner fatally shot one of his attackers, 22-year-old James Scurlock. The details were submitted to Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine, who found Gardner’s actions “justified,” telling reporters the next week that the incident was clearly self-defense.

Author Droney then gave the details.

Gardner’s attorney Stu Dornan said, “Bottom line. Gardner lost his bars [a landlord ended his lease after the shooting], his home, his livelihood. And he was about to lose his freedom. Add in behavioral health concerns, and suicide was not a surprise,” the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Droney said, "Jake Gardner is another victim. A victim of an endless war in the Middle East and a victim to political correctness and the woke, mob mentality that has overtaken our country in the past four months. Sadly, there will likely be many more Jake Gardner’s."

According to the New York Post, 20-year-old Clara Kraebber is among the eight people arrested at the scene, where an angry mob in the area of 24th street wrecked shop fronts. The mob began their march from Foley Square and, over the course of the next three hours, marched north, causing property damage wherever they went.

President Trump's announcing a plan to restore "patriotic education" in schools to overturn the havoc wreaked by Marxist infiltration comes shortly after he released his second-term agenda just before the Republican National Convention. The agenda prioritizes educational goals including providing school choice to every child in America and teaching American exceptionalism.

Father John Zuhlsdorf, a popular Catholic blogger, weighed in on the issue. Instead of defunding the police, Zuhlsdorf encouraged Americans to defund the colleges that graduate students who hate the nation.

He said, "Defund Academia. Defund public schools. The problems we face aren't coming from the police. They are coming from our classrooms.

"Grade school and high school present empty shells to colleges and universities, which in turn fill them up with dangerous BS," he pointedly observed.

"If you have any money designated in your WILL for your dear old alma mater, college or university ... change your will," he recommended, and, "If you can, get your kids out of public schools. And be wary of Catholic schools, too."
