200 peaceful protestors supporting immigration reform show up at home of the Kansas Secretary of State. He suggests a 2nd Amendment solution.

Courtesy of Fox News Radio:  

At least 200 members of Sunflower Community Action were bused into Kobach’s Kansas City-area neighborhood on Saturday – to protest his staunch anti-illegal alien views. 

“I was just appalled,” Kobach told Fox News. “They have a right to protest at my office or at public places – that’s fine. But they don’t have a right to enter someone’s private property and engage in this kind of intimidation.” 

“I have four little girls and they would have been terrified to see 200 protesters shouting at their daddy on megaphones on the front lawn,” he said. The secretary of state said a large number of the protesters were believed to be illegal aliens. (Believed to be illegal aliens by whom?)


They can be seen on video chanting in Spanish, standing on Kobach’s porch, front yard and driveway and demanding that he come outside. “Kris Kobach, come on out,” one unidentified protester shouted. “We’ll show you what Kansans are all about.” (Oh, they spoke SPANISH! Well then of course they MUST be illegal.)

You can see video of these "terrifying" protestors here.(Scroll down to the bottom.)

On Fox Radio the Secretary, Kris Kobach, expressed great concern for his family even though there was no violence or any property destruction, and suggested that the way to deal with this kind of thing in the future could be found in the Right Wing's favorite Amendment: 

The secretary of state is a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment – and he said the incident at his home is an example of why Americans should bear arms. 

“If we had been in the home and not been armed, I would have felt very afraid – because it took the police 15 minutes to show up,” he said. “It’s important we recognize there’s a reason we have the Second Amendment. There are situations like this where you have a mob and you do need to be able to protect yourself.” 

He said had they been home and the mob had gotten out of hand, his family would have been in “grave jeopardy.” 

“The Second Amendment is the private property owner’s last resort,” he said.

Okay well as we saw in the video the crowd was quite passionate, but certainly NOT violent. So it appears that Korbach is imagining a Dirty Harry scenario which it is very unlikely tohave occurred.

Look I can see the Secretary's point that having 200 people come to your home is very intimidating, and I would not have liked it very much either, but the fact that his first instinct is to pull out a gun sounds more like a guy that wants to shoot him some Mexicans rather than a man who is seriously worried about his family.

It does not seem to me that a political action group would want to do anything that would undermine their cause. (I understand that the Sunflower Community Action will issue a statement later today.)

Of course that did not stop the Fox radio host from encouraging his Twitter followers to get ready for some frontier justice.

Fox News, the channel of choice for racists, lunatics, and gun fetishists.

    I imagine he thought it was just fine when hordes of anti abortion protesters picketed the homes of employees of abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood offices. The feelings of their families weren't important at all, I'm sure.

      So, you heard him say that, you are a mind reader, or, oh...you did imagine it! Amazing!

      You all don't get it! A man's home is his castle. We don't put up with trespassing and invasion of privacy on private property in the State of Virginia. That's what this particular point is all about! Go to his office, which is public property, and protest there - not at the guy's home! How would you all like that to happen at your home?!

    My, that sounds scary.

    Also, plenty of American citizens and legal immigrants want immigration reform. Who says that these people were illegal and why didn't he follow up with the appropriate agencies?

    I don't agree with his response, but I do think people's work and home lives should be kept separate. If I don't like anti-choice people targeting the homes of clinic doctors, it's hypocritical to say this is OK just because I have more sympathy for their cause.

    These 2nd Amendment Gun Nuts seem to think that no one will shoot back at them. It goes both ways.

    That's fine nutbaggers, but your fellow legumes must understand that not all of them have the money and power to get out of a prison sentence if they choose to utilize their 'second amendment solutions.'

    Well, well, well.

    Now the Secretary and Fox viewers know what it feels like to have your family attacked.

    This may seem premature but, rest assured, it is not: 2016 is in the bag. Whoever runs for the Democrats will win, because I will vote for the Democrat.

    Sincerely,
    Republican.

  7. He's is out of his mind and shouldn't be in office. How would he know they were "illegals?" Racist much?

    Also what makes this ignorant nutbag believe he will be the only one with a gun?

    Bet if the crowd were white people protesting he would offer them donuts and hot coffee. Fucking dicwad. Another reason for gun safety. Background checks are needed.

  8. I'm sure he thinks it's OK for anti-abortion protesters to show up at doctor's or nurse's or clinic worker's homes.

    They shouldn't have been on his front lawn or porch, but a public street is fair game.

      The anti-choice asswipes showed up at the home of a contractor building a clinic. You know, a job creator - and they camped out for DAYS, with huge graphic billboards.

    Some folks might not realize that Kobach wrote the anti-immigration law or AZ. He did as freelancing from his elected office.

    Kansas has long been against other public employees freelancing apart from their day jobs - e.g. teachers working during their unpaid "hlidays: such as summer or winter breaks.

    Kobach said he needed to have guns at home because it ook 15 minutes for the police to show up: (1) he and his family were not at ho so how would he know, (2) this wasn't a "horde" or :"angry mo" - they were not weiliding ptichforks, guns or anything other than signs, and (3) though they shouldn't have been on his propoerty (they could have legally stood on the wisdewalk or in the curbs) but they did no damage.

    If he is concerned about police response time, why isn't he pushing the Governor and legislature to fund amore police officers? Instd, he is advocating cutting public employees. The idiot.

    Kobach discussed this on Beck's show today.

    www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/06/18/beck-immigrants-learned-from-the-klan-they-are-just-changing-their-hood/

    "They’re called the Klan laws,” Kobach explained. “They’re a set of laws that say you cannot intimidate an official by trespassing his property or threatening violence, you cannot intimidate an individual by threatening violence so that they don’t vote or they don’t exercise their civil rights. And arguably both of those might apply here because they were trying to intimidate me as an elected official to change my point of view, and certainly they don’t like what I’ve been saying for years and doing for years to stop illegal immigration.”

    “You know, this is exactly — they’re just not wearing white cloaks, but this is exactly the KKK-type of intimidation,” he added."

    These Republicans had better stop hollering for Americans to arm themselves and be ready to kill their fellow neighbors! The guns might very well be used on them and maybe then, they'd really have something to holler about!

    I live in Brownbackistan as well. Thanks for the naming of it.

    Kobach is so full of himself that he cannot feel empathy for anyone else. Like most conservatives, he lives in fear and uses that fear as a basis for legislation - never a good thing.

    The Sunflower Community Action should hoist up a pair of big boy pants for chickenshit Kobach during their next peaceful march.

    This 2nd Amendment crap has already backfired on some republicans in Arizona and Arkansas because their RW lawmakers wanted to expand Medicaid under Obamacare. When the republicans first began this sh*t, I knew they were treading into dangerous waters. Kobach talks big, but when confronted by those he demonizes, his only solution is to reach for a gun. I saw the pics of the protesters, and many of them were kids. If he'd been home, he'd have shot wildly into the group of protesters and killed or injured some of the adults and kids. Kobach, like many others on the right, are only pro-life when it comes to restricting abortion. Those who have already been born are targets they think they can mow down at will at the point of a gun and hide behind Stand Your Ground Laws. They make my brain and stomach ache.
