The Protest Thread

[Higgs]

The riot I'm Louisville has a 1:30pm start time set.

Will police protect storefronts or shoot kneeling protesters with rubber bullets? Let's take bets!

Hopefully both

Lol

They have the Ronald Mcdonald house all boarded up in Louisville and moved patients. Lot of good preventative planning going into this riot.

Downtown is basically one big plywood tunnel. Don't you just light the plywood on fire? Or are these dumb fucking idiots too stupid to figure that out?

"It's almost like somebody wants there to be riots, because the people who live here, who have been protesting in that square, they want justice. They don't want revenge. They don't want to burn this city down. ... What in the hell is wrong with a place that boards itself up rather than just give people the justice they deserve?"

Someone's mad that smashie smash time got ruined.

Leaked chat logs show Portland-area pro-Trump activists planning and training for violence, sourcing arms and ammunition and even suggesting political assassinations ahead of a series of contentious rallies in the Oregon city, including one scheduled for this weekend.

The chats on the GroupMe app, shared with the Guardian by the antifascist group Eugene Antifa, show conversations between Oregon members of the Patriots Coalition growing more extreme as they discuss armed confrontations with leftwing Portland activists, and consume a steady diet of online disinformation about protests and wildfires.

I'm sure Breonna Taylor would be proud to know that a bunch of white twenty-somethings are about to burn her city to honor her memory.

McP has always got a Tweet on tap to poison this particular well.

I thought it was the Russians. or maybe just the Trump campaign. Its definitely not the rioters, though.

Youtube, twitter et all are doing a lot of fuckery with livestreams out of Louiville today. Maybe a dry run for censoring the inevitable unrest around the election?

Maybe a net good thing, but of course it will end up skewing the coverage a certain way.

Twitter is telling me that the inevitable violence will either be the fault of Vladimir Putin or George Soros.

You should tweet them that violence this close to the election is fodder for MAGA. They are counting on it
