As Twitchy reported earlier Tuesday, a Black Lives Matter mob descended on diners on a D.C. sidewalk and intimidated almost everybody into raising their fist in solidarity. Despite being bullied, one woman held out and refused to participate despite being bullied by some pasty white kids who weren’t exactly practicing social distancing.
1) In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants, chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity. #DCProtests pic.twitter.com/fJbPM76vb0

2) In Adams Morgan, protesters screamed at Lauren B. Victor for several minutes for refusing to raise her fist with them.
“Are you a Christian?” a female protester demanded.
“Good for you — you stood your ground," Chuck Modiano said sarcastically as the crowd moved on.— Fredrick Kunkle WaPo (@KunkleFredrick) August 25, 2020
Chuck Modiano describes himself as a justice journalist and a sports writer for Ted Cruz’s website, Deadspin.
3) Modiano, who had been yelling at Victor and moments later identified himself as a citizen journalist who writes for @Deadspin, told Victor he couldn’t understand why she was the only diner in the area who wouldn’t comply. “What was in you, you couldn’t do this?”

4) “I felt I was under attack,” Victor, an urban planner, said, adding that she felt there was something wrong about being coerced to show support.
— Fredrick Kunkle WaPo (@KunkleFredrick) August 25, 2020
Go with that feeling.
5) “In the moment, it didn’t feel right,” Victor said, adding that she also could understand their anger. “I wasn’t actually frightened. I didn’t think they’d do anything to me,” she said. “I’m very much with them. I’ve been marching with them for weeks and weeks and weeks."

Sounds like @ChuckModi1 really enjoys mansplaining.

Here’s Modiano doing some mobsplaining:
The issue wasn’t around gender. It was around whiteness & privilege. There were many Black and white women there also trying to ‘splain how they felt. The majority were women. After everyone left, including Frederick, we had a civil convo for another 20 minutes.

yesterday was about a cop shooting Jacob Blake. But let’s make it about a white woman, not the Black man shot in the back. I spoke w/her cordially for another 15 min after, mostly off cam. She is fine. Her friend even better. Ppl don’t have to save her. Blake has 3 kids though. pic.twitter.com/GpZHiFnBo6
— ChuckModi (@ChuckModi1) August 25, 2020
Whoa, hold on for a second so we can process this. Is Modiano admitting that the Black Lives Matter mob intimidating a bunch of restaurant patrons takes the attention away from Jacob Blake, the man who was shot, and puts it on their behavior instead?
We're not making it about anything. We're observing what you did.

But because of the tactics, people are talking about this video instead. So did the plan work?
— Matt Uebele (@MattRun7) August 25, 2020
So don’t make it about her and others then. Two things can be true here. That Black Lives Matter, and that forcing people to bend to your will, no matter what it is, is stupid and fascist.
— macaroni (@macaronidaddy) August 25, 2020
Wait a minute. "This isn't about her, it's about Blake." Yet, you spent your night screaming at her, and then stayed after to grill her further? Making it ALL about her?
Something doesn't. quite. add. up.

Nothing says "I care about black people" like randomly accosting and intimidating women who already are on your side.
Just admit you get off on intimidating women.

They harassed a woman. Completely uncalled for. She should conceal carry. Poor lady had to feel threatened by the mob.

It was criminal harassment

no, it was about force and intimidation. you're literally trying to bully people. she was the bravest person there that night.

@ChuckModi1 please come see me sometime acting like this…

You seem to have a fondness for forced compliance – just like the police against whom you spend so much time protesting.
— Sheila Flynn (@Auntof14) August 25, 2020
Dude this was about as textbook a case of intimidation and coercion as you could possibly put on video
Like the cameras alone were a signal saying "comply or we'll hound you out of the workforce"; everybody knows what it means at this point
— Thirty Six Edible Cups (@ThirtySixCups) August 25, 2020
A dude saying "look if she'd just gone along with it everything would have been fine" about coercing a woman?
That is one hell of a Take

The sweet irony is that all these degenerate bullies are creating more Trump voters.
Carry on, fools.

No black people in the video. I think I saw one or two in most of the videos I have seen. Why are whites the ones who believe they speak for blacks or need to force people to "support" their cause?

You've pretty much devolved into a domestic terrorism group, bravo! Try doing that to people who aren't scared to defend themselves, Incel.

There was no issue until you made one. Stop harassing innocent people for not being mindless sheep as you all walk around screaming like zombies on speed.

Remember kids. White privilege = Original Sin. This is a religious movement every bit as destructive and brain-dead as movements from hundreds of years ago.

Here's Chuck forcing a child to raise his fist in obedience. Curious what would of happened if the kid didn't comply. https://t.co/6iugCNkmea
— jon gabriel (@exjon) August 25, 2020
At least the kid wasn’t wearing a MAGA hat or they probably would have assaulted him too and stolen it.
He actually thinks this is a good look.
