The Protest Thread

Portland looks like its spilling into the residential areas tonight.

So much for "we were only mad at the feds!"

Pretty smart using horses. Bigger than bikes, but don't have the stigma of driving through crowds in a vehicle. Plus, who wants to hurt a horse?

Plus, they can use sabre length batons. Such leverage, much energy. Bonus ability: kicking anyone getting close to its rear.

how many heads do you have to crack to unlock that bonus?!

I live 10 minutes from the middle of downtown Portland, have yet to see anything.

It was around the sheriff's office in the east. It got shut down pretty quick. The cops jumped on them harder.

such a low bar though for what white people consider 'gentrification'

[96583UP]

basically it's just a term that outs whites for being the hard-wired for systemic racists they are

'gentrification'

translation: lower class blacks out, middle class whites in

'we have a whole foods! just like Lord Buckingham! we are Gentry!'

[96583UP]

i'd like to protest the use of the term 'gentrification' in the absence of a feudal or recently-ended feudal system

on behalf of oligarchs everywhere

Almost like the cops in Portland are distracted by something:

Also great job of Clyburn here just completely pretending reality is not real:

Those protestors are using the tried and true “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you! Can’t get mad! I’m not touching you!” logic

simple schoolboy, is that you?

No:

1) I would never document myself using narcotics as that would be a basis for perjuring myself on a Form 4473 (federal background check for firearm transfer).

(How the hell have the ATF not rounded up Joe Rogan yet?)

2) I am not a veteran (That appears to be implied)

3) I am not optimistic that atomised right wing veterans can do anything useful to affect politics by other means. They are not functionally organized, and if they tried to organize, the State would come down on them hard. The 'best' that can be hoped from them in a shit hits the fan scenario is what we saw from the Santa Cruz Airforce Security Forces guy: a few assasinations followed by swift arrest.

4) The right continues to be feckless. Making threats with no ability to back them up is embarassing.

God damn, getting stoned with this guy does not look fun at all.

I think he's doing it wrong...
