Thread: Armed Homeland Security agents monitor Tea Party at IRS protests

On Tuesday, demonstrations took place at IRS offices nationwide as various Tea Party groups protested being targeted by the agency. Keeping an eye on several protests, however, were armed agents of the Department of Homeland Security, The Blaze reported.





Jason Howerton reported that it remains unclear why "federal officials felt the Tea Party presence required more than the attention of local law enforcement."
Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit said that armed DHS guards greeted Tea Party activists in St. Louis.

"Around 300 protesters turned out anyway," he wrote.
According to an account posted by Hoft, DHS used a helicopter against Tea Party protesters in Los Angeles and told the group they were not allowed on federal property.
"Many of our 300 tea party folks were approached immediately by Homeland Security and told they could not be on federal property. My lawyer told me as long as I didn’t block passage we were OK. Many Homeland Security trucks and a helicopter above us scared many patriots so most of group went to public side walk to rally," an unnamed Tea Party activist told Hoft.
A report at BizPac Review said the DHS also made an appearance at a Tea Party protest in Florida.
"Under the watchful eye of Homeland Security — yes, they were present — protestors carried signs that read 'We Do Not Consent to Tyranny,' 'Abolish the IRS' and 'Don’t Target me Bro!,' making it clear they do not condone the use of the IRS as a political weapon," Tom Tillison wrote.
A protest in Fort Wayne, Ind., actually had more police than Tea Party. Howerton said that a lone woman "was reportedly accompanied by three visible security guards in the IRS parking lot, which included a Homeland Security officer."
"The DHS appears to have finally found a use for all those bullets it’s been buying," Paul Joseph Watson wrote at Prison Planet, echoing a sentiment at Fire Andrea Mitchell.
"Amazing how Obama can send out his stormtroopers for peaceful IRS protests by the tea party, yet couldn’t bother with the ‘bumps in the road’ in Benghazi," Fire Andrea Mitchell said.
According to reports, the Tea Party protests concluded without incident.

Residents of St. Louis County met in front of the IRS offices on May 21, 2013 to protest the IRS' practice of targeting and harassing conservatives, patriots and Tea Party supporters. There were no city or county police there, ONLY DEPT OF HOMELAND SECURITY POLICE. According to the IG report, the IRS began targeting conservative organizations, especially Tea Party groups, in Feb. 2010, (although there is much evidence that they have been targeting conservative groups and Christian groups since the 1980's.) The IRS agents were directed to target organizations with the words "patriot" or "tea party" in the names. The power to tax is the power to destroy. This is what it is like to live in a police state tyranny. It has become evident that they are planning on using the IRS as their Gestapo.
