Violent Democrat anarchists abuse defenseless animals as seen in 2016 in Albuquerque, Costa Mesa, and Kansas City, Missouri. FBI considers past animal abuse when profiling serial killers. Persons so incapable of accepting the idea of free speech that they attack defenseless animals belong in mental hospitals as do their enablers, the Democrat Party

“FBI considers past animal abuse when profiling serial killers.“ Michigan State University School of Law, 2008

There were at least three examples of Democrat animal abuse in 2016 at so-called “anti-Trump protests:” May 2016 in Albuquerque, NM, April 2016 in Costa Mesa, Calif., and March 2016 in Kansas City, Missouri. In Costa Mesa the enablers were the Democrat Party of Orange County and Orange County Young Democrats. Animal cruelty is often under reported and is naturally downplayed by police who already have more trouble than they can handle.

Example 1. May 24, 2016, Albuquerque, New Mexico:
…………………………..

In May 2016, Albuquerque, New Mexico Democrat anarchists threw rocks at peaceful, defenseless police horses, knocking one, Striker, to the ground. By sheer luck the service animal, Striker was said to be in satisfactory condition the next day. Below, image of police horse, Striker, stumbling to the ground after attack by Democrat anarchist:



“Thrown objects also struck police horses, Eden said, and one witness said someone punched a horse in the nose. One horse had leg abrasions after falling down, but he’s OK, the chief said.”…

Example Two: April 28, 2016, Costa Mesa, California:
………………………………….

April 28, 2016, Costa Mesa, Calif.: LA Times: Police horse in Costa Mesa injured by rock-throwing anarchist at riots organized by the Democrat Party of Orange County and Orange County Young Democrats:

“A police horse…named Drifter, was injured by a thrown rock, police said.”

4/29/16, “17 arrested, man injured as vandalism mars protest outside Trump rally in Costa Mesa," LA Times, Bradley Zint, Caitlin Yoshiko Kandil, Luke Money, Jeremiah Dobruck

“There were reports of vandalism against police vehicles, public property and cars that were trapped in the gridlock accumulating where thousands of people had gathered.

Some of the protesters smashed a police car window and jumped on officers’ vehicles.

“It was a big melee,” according to Costa Mesa police Sgt. Bang Le, who said at least five police vehicles were vandalized. Police said one man was hurt during an altercation on the fairgrounds property. Paramedics took him to a hospital for treatment of a head injury that didn’t appear to be life-threatening, according to authorities.

At one point,a Costa Mesa officer was hit on the head by a rock thrown by a protester, but police said he was unhurt, thanks to the riot gear and helmet he was wearing.

A police horse ridden by a Huntington Beach officer wasn’t as fortunate, authorities said. The horse, named Drifter, was injured by a thrown rock, police said.

At one point, a group of young men and women started rocking and jumping onto a car near Fairview Road and Fair Drive, an intersection that was eventually shut down. The driver got out and screamed at the group that a child was onboard….

The Costa Mesa Police Department said officers arrested 17 people, all on suspicion of failing to disperse. By Friday morning, each arrestee had been released with a written promise to appear in court, Le said....

The protest was organized by the Democratic Party of Orange County and Orange County Young Democrats.…

Erik Taylor, executive director of the Democratic Party of Orange County, said Friday that the party “does not condone the violence that took place at the O.C. fairgrounds last night, but we do thank the Democratic Party activists who did come out and protest in a peaceful way.” “Obviously things got out of hand,” he added…”

Some demonstrators were draped in Mexican flags.…

Some protesters with “Dump Trump” signs put them in horse manure that had been dropped on the ground….

March 12, 2016, Kansas City, Missouri, Democrat anarchist…"had first screamed in the horse’s face to scare him. When that did not work, the report said, the woman hit the horse with her open hand.”

March 19, 2016, “Woman who allegedly slapped police horse at KC Trump rally is arrested,” Kansas City Star, Mara Rose Williams (Missouri)

“Kansas City police arrested a woman accused of slapping a police horse outside a Donald Trump rally last weekend shortly before officers released pepper spray on a crowd of protesters.

April J. Foster, 29, was arrested about 5 p.m. Friday in the 9200 block of Ward Parkway and charged with abuse of a police service animal. Foster was later released after posting a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Municipal Court on May 4. Police had been searching for the woman who hit the horse.

The horse, named Dan, was hit while officers on horseback attempted to control protesters and keep them out of the street outside a Trump rally March 12 in downtown Kansas City at 13th and Main streets.

According to a police report, the woman had first screamed in the horse’s face to scare him. When that did not work, the report said, the woman hit the horse with her open hand.

After slapping the officer’s horse, the woman ran into the gathering of protesters — an estimated 200 people — and because of the size of the crowd, police said, they were unable to find her.

Police said Foster was identified by a caller to the Tips hotline, and the officer recognized the woman who hit his horse from a photograph.”…Above image of woman appearing to scream in face of police horse, screen shot from KMBC video

March 2016, taunting, yelling at and slapping a police horse in Kansas City, Missouri:

March 19, 2016, "Woman sentenced after slapping police horse during Trump rally," KCTV
 
"A judge has issued a sentence to the woman accused of slapping a police horse outside of a Donald Trump rally in March.

April Foster pled guilty to charges of assaulting a service animal and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, suspended and placed on two years of probation.

She was also ordered to perform 75 hours of community service, have no contact with mounted patrol or service animals and to pay a fine of $240 plus her court costs.

The Kansas City Police Department said April J. Foster, 29, was arrested March 12, in the 9200 block of Ward Parkway for abuse of a police service animal.

Police said two officers were called to 13th and Main streets about 7 p.m. on March 12 to help with crowd control during the Trump rally. About 20 minutes later they said a large group of protesters starting putting scarves and masks on to cover their faces.

They then locked arms and began chanting "Whose streets. Our streets" before backing into the street, blocking traffic and moving towards the officers.

The officers said they told the protesters to get back on the sidewalk and out of the street many times, but the group did not obey. The officers, along with their horses, blocked the crowd from further getting into the street and again told the protesters to move back onto the sidewalk.

Police said Foster approached an officer and his horse named Dan and began yelling and screaming in the horse's face, trying to scare the animal.

"When this tactic did not work she attempted to push my horse with no success.  I observed this to only make her more angry and violent and in a last attempt she struck my horse in the face with an open hand," the officer's report said.

The officer said Foster then ran away and they weren't able to catch up to her due to the size of the crowd.

Police Chief Darryl Forte blogged about how officers handled the large crowds at the Trump rally and defended his force's use of pepper spray. He also talked about the assault on the police horse.

"The officers called in our Mounted Patrol for back up to break the two groups apart and get them out of the street. In the course of that, a police horse was assaulted. More officers were called in to help maintain safety and order. Some of the people gathered outside began to put on personal protective equipment (gas masks). Several of them tried to rush the front doors of the theater, blocking Main Street in the process," Forte wrote.

Police said they received a tip on their hotline that identified Foster."

Experts say US CO2 emissions have dropped so much they expect US energy policy to change to reflect less concern for CO2 danger:

8/16/12, “AP IMPACT: CO2 emissions in US drop to 20-year low,” AP, Kevin Begos

“In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.

Many of the world’s leading climate scientists didn’t see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.

Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, said the shift away from coal is reason for “cautious optimism” about potential ways to deal with climate change….

In a little-noticed technical report, the U.S. Energy Information Agency, a part of the Energy Department, said this month that energy related U.S. CO2 emissions for the first four months of this year fell to about 1992 levels. Energy emissions make up about 98 percent of the total. The Associated Press contacted environmental experts, scientists and utility companies and learned that  virtually everyone believes the shift 

could have major long-term implications for U.S. energy policy.”…

Bad news, McKibben. NYC Mayor hopeful and Bloomberg ally Christine Quinn's beach house in Bradley Beach, New Jersey was not destroyed in Sandy. Bradley Beach built high dunes after a 1992 hurricane (per NY Times below) which kept Sandy waters from destroying homes. Nothing to do with CO2, just built high dunes:
