A Pinkerton shot a righty protester? I thought they reserved that for striking miners. If this is what went down, thats just bizarre. How do you spin this narrative?

The enemy of the People, the press starts killing Trump supporters.

Having run out of miners to shoot, Pinkerton diversifies their murder for hire services.

Whoosh was the sound of that reference going over my head. Guthrie?

Also, Pinkertons come with low profile holographic sights these days? Is this like XE/ Blackwater for operators that want to get home in time for dinner?

If this occured as reported, then Denver PD might be in the running for some props. I presumed protestors and counter protesters were intermingling when shit popped off. IF the cops largely suceeded in keeping them separate, then kudos.

Normally out of (incompetence? malice?) They funnel the Trump protestors right into the counter protestors when they leave the rally*.

Hard to make out what caused it, despite so much video leading up to it.

If this was self defense, seems like this guy is getting charged with something regardless. Maybe a lefty being a Pinkerton was too good to be true.

I've only seen a few stills. Its alleged that the decedent hit the shooter, and then pulled out the mace (with the shooters gun already in view). If thats what went down, definitely a case of playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.

There's an ex con on youtube that discusses stuff like this. Apparently Federal prison is generally more chill than state prison. Not as much race gang BS in Federal as normally the guys are older and less impulsive/ stupid.

So, if you're going to commit a felony, try to get some modifiers on it so you end up doing Federal time.

Apparently Rosenbaum (First guy to go after Rittenhouse) had been released that day from psychiatric care (for attempted suicide). Seems possible he had a death wish. Or maybe he was manic as a result of his bipolar disorder.

Its funny that this article places him as outside of antifa because of his diagnosis. These protests pretty clearly attract the ideologues and the unhinged. He belonged to the latter group. Different colored moths, same flame.

At least Occupy did fewer games about who is and isn't in the movement. They readily embraced the insane homeless among them.

Protesters have been aggrevied claiming than any car approaching an intersection they have closed off (without permit or escort) is potentially deadly. Uhh, good luck when the cops reply in kind, universally. This will just have them deploy armored cars and overwatch like we saw in Ferguson as a normal baseline response.

Night two seems to be even more impressive.

The Philly PD might have a unique distinction of being the only police force in the US to engage in aerial bombing. The only Pennsylvania Air National Guard unit with an air to ground mission I could locate is a Predator squadron. Should work in a pinch.

I have been assured that insurance money shields all those involved from negative consequences. I have been assured of this.

This is performative destruction of the capitalist system, not actually causing material harm to anyone.
