Mob scene at the Mint; Update: The trouble begins; riot at Denver City Center, pepper spray comes out
Denver – Well, I’m happy to report that the anti-capitalists failed in their effort to defy gravity and levitate the U.S. Mint. The wizard hat and magic wands weren’t working.
The protest was an abysmal failure — with a crowd of about 20 profit-bashing protesters far out-numbered by press, bloggers, police, horses, and looky-loos. I was able to work unimpeded covering the pathetic showing…until the Truthers showed up for their YouTube moment.
Desperate to salvage the fizzled demonstration, 9/11 nutball Alex Jones started barking at me and attempting to make a scene and incite a riot. I should have brought my spit shield. Ick. Jim Hoft was there, along with my friends from Pajamas Media, and provided volunteer bodyguard services (thanks, guys).
Video of that coming for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned.
I need a shower.

Update: Riot reported at the Denver City Center…Denver Post’s livecam has the scene.
Outside the Denver City Center…10:06pm Eastern/8:06pm Mountain…Founding Bloggers is on the scene. Blogger Charlie Martin is also there and reports that press and police again far outnumber protesters. Quote: “It’s the world’s most boring riot.” More from The Other McCain, who reports that a bystander told him 30 were arrested and the Sheraton Hotel is in lockdown…MSM coverage here…
Riot reported at the Denver City Center… David Harsanyi: “Seattle, it’s not.”

lmao at the guy in the tinfoil cape
Thanks guys indeed!
Michelle, after the shower you should get tested for any contagious diseases. That scurvy lot didn’t look clean or healthy, just weird.
Jones fits right in with that band of lunatics.
I thought it was lgm. Seriously.
Thanks for posting, MM!
Is Alex Jones somehow going to tie this in to a Masonic conspiracy theory/plot?
That is the biggest body of his work to date, isn’t it?
Atheling, dead ringer. lmao
You mean the Mint didn’t even budge an inch off the ground!!!! – where is Abby Hoffmann when you need him??!…
(don’t anybody answer that – I already know…)
Me too. Shall we conserve? (looks over shoulder) Oh hi honey. I was just talking to my frie..(Whap!) (Slap!) (Kapow!) er.. gotta go!
I’ll google alex jones have no clue who he is….
wished I hadn’t done that now.
OMG Michelle. He’s completely insane.
Look on the bright side, you may get an episode of “worlds toughest jobs” outa this.
Everybody knows you need a 24 inch’ regulation wizard hat to raise a regular house so to raise something the size of the Mint you would need at least a 4 footer. *sarcasm off*
Instead of a shower I suggested calling a decontamination team in from nearby Buckley AFB. You never know what type of slim you might be exposed to amongst the unwashed moonbats.
joromima, re: “- where is Abby Hoffmann when you need him??!…”
I knew Abby Hoffman when he lived on 33rd st. He was a commie for sure & I didn’t like him… but he wasn’t an insane moonbat. Like the saying goes, “the difference between a communist & a democrat is that the communist knows what he is doing”, but you may be right about where he is…
Alex Jones, you are an ignorant, angry man. I invite you to come to Pennsylvania where I will happily “school” you in manners. Punk.
Video of nutjob Alex Jones stalking MM.
What you need is a big man about 6′7″ tall as a bodyguard. Someone that is made of a lot of mass and that looks real mean. Then these punks (bullies) would keep their distance.

Isn’t it lgm ? Both are idiots, ignorant, and do not have a clue about anything. It has to be lgm.
Alex Jones is a pathetic blowhard radio host who preaches conspiracy theories and pimps his web sites and books. A certain late night radio talk show just eats him up, and the last I heard he was bemoaning the Denver warehouse prison and accused police of masquerading as protesters to get a riot started. I find him entertaining at the best of times and insultingly single-minded at the worst of it. The Bohemian Grove stuff, though, I must admit is weird. That he would try to incite a riot himself is sadly no surprise to me. He was probably hoping to cry “oppression” at the slightest movement of riot police.
That long haired (gray) partially bald guy in the video looks like the same guy who screamed down the Fox News team yesterday.
Anyone know who that freak is and who he is with?
How do you do it Michelle? I swear, you have more of what jackson wants to cut off bo than most men!!! I always pray for your protection.
Wellsy: Alex Jones isn’t that good. He is a blood sucking piece of dung who has profitted off the 9/11 dead, including a member of my family.
Was Alex Jones’ fellow 9/11 Truther Jerome Corsi there, too?
Great another f*cking moron who thinks he knows something about advanced structural design. If I hear another idiot try and tell me WTC was brought down with thermite charges I’m going to choke them out so they wet themselves.
Does anyone know what happens to a slender column when it loses it bracing points?
ingolds description is somewhat askew…
get the story right ingold or stfu.
Sergeant Tim: I’m sorry to hear that, and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you didn’t get the impression that I was somehow a fan of his. I most decidedly am NOT. It’s obvious he cares for nothing other than the almighty dollar.
I can’t believe these people inhabit the same planet let alone the same country!
Again, I thank you for being on the front lines for us. I’m reading your blog as I watch Caroline Kennedy touting the wonderful values espoused by her Uncle Teddy. And, as you would say, “Mary Jo Kopechne was not available for comment.” And now by John Kerry… wow these wackos are all alike… “… a man of sensitivity.” I just threw up in my mouth.
Wellsy: No, I did not get that impression. No offense taken at all.
MM, you should be drawing hazardous duty pay.
I don’t have access to cable at my “current, undisclosed” location so unfortunately I am missing any on-air commentary you may be providing. ;(
The irony of a crowd menacing a petite woman for writing a book, and yelling “fascist” at her is … loss for words.
wow! what a crackpot!
Someone should have canned that loudmouth a$$hole.
These people are stark, raving mad.
Michelle, please be careful. You have lunatics of every stripe foaming at the mouth and God knows what some of these people might be capable of.
Please consider more than “voluntary bodyguards” if you haven’t already.
Whenever I see slime like Alex Jones, I take heart from the works of better men.
Yep, those are the words.
I’m watching a show on the Discovery Channel right now about what went on in the Twin Towers on September 11… simply thinking about those nuts who think it was all an inside job make my blood boil. I can barely look at that idiot’s picture. Bless you Michelle for being able to keep your calm.
Meanwhile at the DNC, ted the swimmer is yammering out his blowhole.

No audio dude,
Here is youtube vid
Link the youtube from above jim hoft.
vid and audio..
Sorry, can’t watch this scumbag again. What a coward!!!!
He will get his due, a mouth like that always does in the end. what a wuss.
Oh my f%$#ing word, what a freaking lunatic thug! Some of the comments are absolutely disgusting as well. This freak probably never even read the damn book he keeps going on about.
It is clear he has not. Bet he’s eager to throw it on a bonfire, though.
Considering ALex hangs out with Ron Paul have to wonder how connected he is with the neo nazi movement
I wasn’t aware that Ron Paul is a Nazi.
Alex Jones, Ron Paul and Jerome Corsi. Now that’s an unholy trio.
Paul gets backing from skinhead groups I didnt call him a nazi
I believe that Alex Jones needs an e-mail from each one of us. Nothing nasty, like he talks; just your true feelings about the difference between his views and yours. Just sayin’
nuf sed
Which is why I wonder because Michelle is Asian American that Alex felt he could be such a bully.
I don’t know, all that yelling made a good point. It is like typing in Caps Lock. Can’t beat that.
Nice Job Michelle, let the nuts prove they are nuts. Yu gave him rope and he did the rest.
Uuuuum (as Obama would say), isn’t it just a tad embarrassing to be a Democrat? I mean, not all are this way, but…
You
This reminds me of Elijah and the Baal worshipers on Mount Carmel.
“It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, ‘Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened.’ So they cried with a loud voice and cut themselves according to their custom with swords and lances until the blood gushed out on them. When midday was past, they raved until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.” 1 Kings 18:27-29
Yes, his actions reminded me of some folks I met from the klan. Makes my blood boil.
And to think, I was telling my visiting out of state relatives to go to the Santa Monica Pier if they wanted to see real moonbat freaks. Denver, you have begun to accomplish the near impossible; out freak show California. You now only have a few days to complete the freakout. I’ll send extra tinfoil if you need it.
No, she’s 5′ tall so he feels brave. I bet should could take him.
I don’t know, William. I think he’s just a coward. She’s small and almost alone. He’s a big blowhard, and has a crowd that is almost certainly on his side.
Nope, got the audio. Man, what a blowhard moron. Seems like a person who’ll suffer from dementia at a later stage in life; kinda like Michael Moore.
Naw, more likely “Dirty Jobs”
should = she could
That fat boy likes to run his piehole around a bunch of prissy lefties…he’s likely to get a mouthful of stfu with as loud and obnoxious as he is.
What a raving buffoon!
…and the same time they are yelling at Michelle, some nitwit in the background is screaming “Love, Peace and Justice”.
Uh huh.
peace riot heh
Pepper spray at the City Center … well, we’ll see how this turns out. I’m sure it’ll be termed the greatest civil rights infringement ever. I hope that’s the extent of how bad it gets … the promised or threatened mass chaos in Denver, a beautiful mountain city that my aunt once lived in … no, I don’t wish that at all.
I lived in Denver for 26 years and none of this crap would surprise me, however things seem to have rotted even moreso since I left 5 years ago.
Ah yes. The loony lefty party of the Democrats. As usual, a real classy bunch.
azygos, yeah, thats the one…. lol.
The fat bald guy with whiskers is the same one at the Wash DC pot rally. He gets around. No doubt on SSI getting a fat monthly check from us taxpayers and not doing a thing to deserve it.
The Democrats fed these nuts to win elections and the chickens have come home to roost
The riot is not on any of the news networks at this time.
Jimmah Cotta’s tribute made a lot of sense. He said the government failed the people in KAtrina. Only instead of the truth that the govt at the time was Nagin (D) mayor and a (D) governor of the state who is thankfully gone.
Woo!!!
I should have never doubted. Looks like my $100 bet on at least one riot will make me a little less poor…and it’s only Monday!
Gambling Rule #1: Always bet on a sure thing.
I just saw the you tube video of this psycho Alex Jones. He needs to be prosecuted for threatening to kill Michelle. Keep hanging in there Michelle there are more of us than there are these kind of unbalanced wack-jobs. Yup, the left is all about free speech and a diciplined discourse. He must be related to Howard (The Duck) Dean, it is the only logical explanation for his irrational behavior.
Gitmo guest wannabees
Wow, what a douchebag. It takes a real man to assault a 5 ft, 100 lb woman with no provocation. Michelle, for God’s sake, please be careful, and be sure to sanitize thoroughly.
Yo Harris, I told you you should double up…
Stay strong Michelle any man that acts like that and needs to be backed up by a crowd of morons is a punk ass bitch . Alex Jones runs his mouth because he feels safe . I have $100 saying he wouldnt pull that s*** face to face with a man . He much have a hard time opening his pie hole when his jaw is wired shut .
guess I was wrong but never would have put money on it. geeze. how nuts are these loons?
Where are the high pressure fire hoses connected to an unlimited surplus of brine and cat urine?
Darn!
This convention sucks. It is not living up to expectations.
And I was getting the lawn chairs out.
MM:
I appreciate your intrepid spirit and journalistic bravery in bringing us this story. But REALLY you should have some ARMED security with you when you wade into the guano caves where the moonbats hangout!
Stay safe and try to avoid the “Poo Bombs” and magic wands…
like harris said jdubya, its only Monday
Well, the moonbats are out tonight!
Not so much brine, we’re trying to conserve.
hope the rioters have a nice stay in the Grey bar hotel.
Howdy AJMT,
I understand it is Monday…
BUT I JUST CAN’T WAIT!!!!
I need entertainment ever since Monty Python broke up…
Michelle,
Watching the video of you being viciously harassed is great proof that the intellect and reason has nothing to do with the “sophisticated party”.
I do not agree with you on every position but I do admire the civility and grace that you bring to politics.
…What the hell are those idiots wearing?
Do they even know what they’re protesting? Or is it just what they do when they get together?
Wow! This lunatic is also a vile piece of trash! I hope his mother is proud of this worthless coward. And I hope the video is enough to convict him of assault and inciting violence charges.
I would never behave that way to another human! Not even HRC or MO. What a worthless piece of dog vomit!
STREET CLOTHES!!!
I’ve been trying for ten minutes to find a civil way of expressing my opinion of Alex Jones and I can’t do it. I just hope he gets the a$$ whupping he was asking for.
Hello Ms. Malkin,
I just viewed the video everyone was referencing.
This puke is seriously deranged.
If he harms you, sue him into a total coma.
Michelle here’s a gift from me for having to put up with that jerkoff. It’s not much cause I’m only a cyber dude. Keep up the good work.
Spirit of lawlessness. Frightening.
The cure for moonbat dysentery. 1 beer. Domestic verity. Two shot of tequila and a slice of lime. Not good for typing on blogs. One problem. Don’t let the anarchist get hold of the Tequila. They may leave in in the bottle with a burning rag.
riot? Not while I was watching the livecam. I see a police line, a few cars, no flashing lights…
Seems there’s more rioting done in Paris by “asian youths” on a typical Friday night!
