Yep. Totally fair for the rock thrower. Just not for the non-rock thrower nearby.

I think you are unaware that the DHS as part of its justification for entering Portland labeled dozens of incidents of graffiti as "violent anachists."

Well, if you just avoid Portland and riots you might be OK.

BTW, the President has an obligation to protect federal property.

States’ rights and constitution supporters indeed.
DHS declared Antifa a domestic terror org. Everywhere they are is a federal jurisdiction.

Graffiti and burning down buildings.

BTW, the destruction of federal property is a crime. Why do you support criminal acts?

You could tell me it was the wrong tactic. But its also a very common tactic used thats taught as part of crowd control. Google something like "los angeles cross-bow techniques". And learn why its used, and why its important to defuse crowds by arresting those causing the issue.


Seriously, if you're going to tell me im wrong at least google it. Here since you dont even try and do the work, let me do it for you:

Los Angeles Cross Bow Tactics
The Los Angeles Police Department — no stranger to large disturbances — developed cross bow tactics to enhance classical formations. Commanders give commands and signals and in response, team members held in reserve in a column formation shoot through the line like and arrow from a cross bow to:
1.) Conduct a rescue.
2.) Effect an arrest.
3.) Encircle a group.
4.) Quickly secure ground abandoned by a rioting crowd.
Crossbow is a dynamic technique that, when utilized as a powerful psychological effect on a crowd.

No they did not. Link?

Even if they did, proof any of these people are “Antifa”?

OK. I'll give you that. Best way to not get caught up in that mess is not to be there. Protest at the ballot box. Quit making your cities sh--holes.

yuou do know the right to protest is enshrined in our rights? That whole first amendment thing, and the right to gather.



Democracy can be loud and messy. Those making it violent-whether police or crowds, need to face charges for it.
