Ironic: Police Arrest Victim Of Black-Lives-Matter Mob Aggression in La Mesa

A blogger, Roger Ogden (me), was arrested by police after being accosted, harassed and abused by a threatening mob of Black Lives Matter protesters in La Mesa, who were trying to chase him out of the area. I was there to take video for posting on my blog. The object of these protests in La Mesa is generally to terrorize the police, city government and the people, so that they will accede to the demands of the organizers of the local Black Lives Matter movement.

Below is some video of my actual arrest.

Tasha Williamson, the organizer is angry, because I posted video of her threatening to burn down National City in 2018. Our local media censored and withheld that information! Now she is an organizer in La Mesa, which actually HAS been burned down! You can see video of her making the threat at this link below. Tasha ran for mayor of San Diego this year and one would think it would be relevant that she publicly threatened recently to burn down a neighboring city. Reporters from several media outlets heard her make this threat at that time, yet did not report it. Now the town where she currently organizes has been burned down.

Black-Lives-Matter Organizer Threatens to Burn National City, Ca

The current protest protest on August 11th was also about 1/5th the size of a similar protest about two months ago with the same “Unity Riders” motorcycle group. Black Lives Matter has lost a lot of its luster, probably due to all the violence and destruction going on in its name.

I counted 200 motorcycles at the last such protest in mid-June, almost two months earlier and about 400 participants. This time there were only 33 bikes and about 80 protesters. This is the third event with disappointing turnout in three weeks. If they do not have a big enough crowd to intimidate the community, they will probably soon quit coming. After the previous destruction, every time they come it disturbs the residents of La Mesa unnecessarily. Businessmen start boarding up their shops again.

I pulled out pepper spray when I felt threatened by the mob. One woman claimed that I sprayed her and another that I shoved her. Both were lies. The police arrested me for that reason. The mob did crowd me enough to touch me, though. After a short investigation, police did not find that I had committed a crime and released me after about an hour with a promise that I would leave the area.

The mob probably was committing a crime in trying to force me out of the area, but the police did not want to deal with it. If it had been a more law-abiding conservative, pro-American group doing the same thing in front of the police, I’m pretty sure they would have issue a lawful order or them to stop and would have enforced that order.

Due to the thugs of Black Lives Matter, you can’t even walk in La Mesa any longer in safety, even when a group of policemen are directly watching. I was there to report on the event, so my 1st Amendment rights were denied by the mob as the police watched and they even enforced the will of the mob by removing me.

This incident demonstrates a BIG problem in California and other liberal/progressive states. The Leftists are not forced to obey the law or to respect the rights of others in liberal states such as California, because they intimidate even the police, media and local government and can call out large and very violent and destructive mobs. It is also due to the liberal/leftist voting majority that sympathizes with such groups and does not want Black-Lives-Matter lawlessness reigned in by the police.

The police enforce the will of the group over the law or rights of the individual and rationalize it by the idea of “keeping people safe”. It is a neo-Marxist concept that has become the standard in California law enforcement. In the long run, it would be safer to enforce the law and individual rights and have a civil society, rather than let society gradually descend into total lawlessness. I am not blaming average cops, because the police are limited by the politicians. It a problem with the politicians and with the general public mentality that does not support enforcement of the law.

If groups like Black Lives Matter are allowed to violate lesser laws by marching in the streets without a permit and blocking traffic on freeways, why should they not believe they are also entitled to burn banks, vandalize property, loot businesses and generally terrorize entire cities. It will only get worse until they are required at some point to obey the letter of the law or the lawless mob takes over completely.

Black Lives Matter Has To Admit “San Diego Is NOT Portland!”

About 300 people showed up for a sympathy-with-Portland event in La Mesa, a suburb of San Diego. Some BLM terrorists declared that there would be “war” that night. However, after finding themselves greatly out-numbered and surrounded by hundreds of police and angry local citizens, many BLM terrorists decided to leave early in mid-afternoon, long before dark. The Organizer declared that, “San Diego is not Portland!”. What a disappointment for them!

There was no vandalism and no fires. Many of the would-be terrorists packed up and went home in mid-afternoon, long before dark when the “war” was supposed to break out. Some stayed until about 9pm, but eventually, the police withdrew and they all left a few minutes later, concerned about their own safety for a change. (On May 30th BLM “protesters” had burned down two banks and another major building, burned vehicles and vandalized and looted dozens of other businesses.)

It is clear that they were intending to turn La Mesa into San Diego’s “autonomous zone”, much as in Portland and Seattle. The event was billed as a stand-with-Portland event.

There were several groups of defenders there to make sure the rioting and destruction of property did not happen again. The largest contingent was coordinated via the Defend East County Facebook group. Probably there were about 150 defenders representing the various groups, scattered around town. They were not really counter-protesters. They were “defenders”, there to try to make sure that BLM did not devastate La Mesa again.

Many were armed with various types of weapons. I believe that was in most cases legal, because they were generally on private property, there to defend the property from attacks by BLM fanatics.

Black-Lives-Matter Bank Burning Was Professional Arson – La Mesa, Ca

A young activist for Black Lives Matter activist, Arturo Gonzalez, says on a Facebook livestream that a professional group of arsonists was hired to burn down Chase Bank and Union Bank in downtown on the 30th of May in La Mesa, CA. Presumably, the same group also burned down the Randall Lamb building which is right next to the banks. These were three of the most important commercial buildings in La Mesa and the Randall Lamb building was considered a historic landmark. This video was made by Gonzalez on August 1, 2020.

This statement confirms what I already thinking from the viewing video of the bank burnings. The banks were engulfed in fire in minutes and were destroyed completely in a very short time. So, I assumed it was a professional job. To see the banks burning, click here. If this kid knows what happened, many people in the local Black Lives Matter movement must also have information about the arson attack and who was involved.

On the day the banks were burned, May 30, the regular, non-professional “protesters” vandalized much of downtown and ransacked many businesses in the area.

Resistance Rising To Black-Lives-Matter Terror In La Mesa

These are a few scenes form the protest held in La Mesa, CA by Black Lives Matter terrorists on August 1, 2020. Just two months earlier on May 30, 2020, Black Lives Matter rioted in La Mesa, looted a number of businesses, burned vehicles and burned three major buildings, including two banks. There was a large group of probably about 150 concerned citizens on hand this time, many veterans, to support the police and make sure this so-called “protest” did not devolve again into extreme violence, mass vandalism and arson. It is difficult to say how many were there, because many were scattered around town to protect private property.

Resistance Rising To Black-Lives-Matter Terror In La Mesa (Bitchute)

I can’t honestly call these events “protests”, because after such lawlessness and destruction, an event that might otherwise be characterized as a legitimate “protest” is now an act of intimidation, aimed at City government and the Police Department. They attacked the police station in the earlier riot and most probably would have burned it down, if they had gained control of it, as Black Lives Matter had just burned down the police station in Minneapolis and took over a police station in Seattle. It seems the intent has been to do in La Mesa what they have done in Portland and Seattle.

There were about 200-300 BLM terrorists present. This is actually a movement of far-left, white, anti-American extremists, they generally have only a few token black people, at least in this part of the country. Many, probably the majority of them were clueless young women, who think it is cool to be part of a revolutionary, terrorist movement.

Black Lives Matter takes it inspiration from the Weathermen and Black Liberation Army domestic terrorist groups of the 1960’s and 1970’s. However, it is camouflaged as a protest movement, which makes it harder for authorities to investigate and shut them down. Today’s terrorists hide behind these naive young people, using them as a human shields and claiming to be “peaceful protesters”.

Hundreds of policemen on hand from law enforcement agencies throughout the County of San Diego. To counter Black Lives Matter were 100-200 local citizens, many of them veterans, who gathered mainly at the American Legion Post across the street form the police station. Some of them were scattered around town to keep watch and some stayed until very late at night to make sure the terrorists did not come back.

The main contingent of concerned citizens was organized on the “Defend East County” (DEC) Facebook group and their effort was largely successful. If there had not been the potential for a serious clash between the two groups, probably not so many policemen would have been called in. If there had been no opposition, the terrorists would have probably had their way again, at least to some extent.

They are obviously trying to intimidate the City via the threat of violence and destruction to do what they demand. Using violence and intimidation to achieve a political objective is the definition of terrorism.

It seems that Blacks Lives Matter has been attempting to do in La Mesa what they have already done in Minneapolis, Portland and Washington State, occupy and control it by terrorist threat. La Mesa is a majority white, liberal suburb. 60-65% voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. The police department is relatively small and not much experienced in dealing with large social disturbances typical of Black Lives Matter. Due to the majority of liberal voters there is pressure on the political leaders in La Mesa to not take the measures necessary to deal effectively with the lawlessness and violence of the activists of Black Lives Matters.

After BLM torched La Mesa, the more mentally-sick, liberal townspeople of La Mesa actually put up pro-BLM posters and murals all around town and right in front of the burned-out ruins that BLM created. It was a very pathetic sight to see.

One of the main people involved in organizing the destruction in La Mesa had actually threatened the City Council in 2018 to burn National City, if they did not meet her demands. Her name is “Tasha Williamson” and she actually ran for Mayor of San Diego this year. In spite of her high profile and the presence of a number of reporters at that meeting in National City, none of our local news organizations reported her threat to burn down National City. This is how sick society has become, at least in California. A terrorist threat against a city does not even get reported here.

Black Lives Matter – Huge FAIL In La Mesa (Video)

On the 25th of July Black Lives Matter tried to have another event in La Mesa, a small city that they had massively burned, vandalized and looted on May 30 (mis-stated in video). Neither Amaurie Johnson nor Leslie Furcron were victims of police violence. Leslie Furcron put herself illegally in a dangerous situation, by joining a violent mob attacking the police station, where she was inadvertently injured. Amaurie Johnson was arrested, but not hurt at all.

Only about 20 Black Lives Matter people showed up. They were greatly outnumbered by police and concerned citizens. The citizen response was organized by the Defend East County group on Facebook. DEC members are from all over San Diego East County, which tends to be a patriotic, pro-American part of the County.

They were mainly congregated in one group with a couple of others scattered around. A least three people in this group were there only to report on the event. You see they are all white radicals except for one token black man. This is rather typical, at least in the San Diego area, but from what I have seen, others places also.

The police and concerned citizens were scattered around. Some of the citizens didn’t want their images taken. So, I didn’t try to take video of all of them. The Black Lives Matter terrorists were outnumbered probably 3-4 to 1 and they were surrounded by the police and local citizens. The DEC’ers said that they could have called for more help, if needed.

After a couple of hours with nothing happening, I went to get something to eat. When I came back after dark everyone was gone, except a few cops. It was a very peaceful event, I think, mainly because the DEC’ers showed up to oppose it. One of them vowed that BLM would not get another chance to burn East County.

Tasha Williamson, a major organizer in La Mesa, had previously threatened their town council to burn down National City two years earlier. Shamefully none of the local media reported that threat, even though Williamson ran for mayor of San Diego this year. Click on archive link below to learn more.
