    You know, if I was planning on going to a protest I'd grab some masks and goggles from the nearest Home Despot or Lowes and trust them over an onion.

    rubber bullets are not necessarily non-lethal if used improperly

    oldfella thinks nearly everyone on the board is left because he's so far right.

    Technically, Shaka, when the walls fell is Tamarian for failing, which oldfella gets to experience a lot.

    What you are looking for is Sokath, his eyes uncovered/opened!

    @oldfella1962 wasn't hoping they'd be non-lethal. He wants all his fellow travelers to go away so he can disavow them and make himself seem innocent. :bergman:

    Would it be useful to fork this a bit?

    Maybe separate Social Media Crackdown on Insurrectionists and Impeachment II threads?

    Then this could just be about the Trump Insurrection of January 6.

    Why don't you tell me what I think it is. You're always saying I'm stupid, it's a running joke. I'm sure you know my mind better than I do, genius.

    There's so much cross-posting of tweets and memes (including the one you just shared, which has been repeatedly posted) that sorting them would be a nightmare.

    If I was a fan of someone, and other fans of that person did shit like that (along with attacking the Capitol building, driving my car through a crowd of protesters, and chanting things like, "The Jews will not replace us!"), I wouldn't be a fan of that person any more. Even if that person came out and said what those people were doing was wrong. Because while that person might intend to be a good person, it's pretty clear that their actions are inspiring other people to be their worst.

    No arrests were made? Maybe a cop wasn't there. Now that this video exists perhaps there is enough evidence to track down some of the suspects and make an arrest.

    Would it matter? Ten people would just pick apart what I say anyway. Not much fucking point to that really.

    Yeah...not on a Friday night at 9:30. :diacanu:

    If @Bickendan wants to take a crack at it, he's welcome to but to me the thread chaos is emblematic of the subject matter. :bergman:

    Something must be going down. I saw this and realized I hadn’t gotten a text from the Trump campaign in a couple of days, either.
