    Yeah I saw that. China executes a lot of criminals for this activity. They have vans that travel and execute the prisoners in them.

    Minneapolis police advised earlier today that they were finding bottles with gasoline deployed in advance of the usual evening festivities.

    And then there are the bricks reported in many other places. Some which appear to be located at legitimate construction sites (but arguably negligently left unattended) while others are suspicious...

    I do not do twitter, but I have seen some links posted around

    Last night on livestreams, I forget if it was Philly or DC, there was a black guy in a #9 jersey (not sure which team) who was pushing back the looters & shit-stirrers from storefronts. Who knows if I would agree with any of his politics, but he was out there trying to stop some of the chaos


    The 5th column of the media are ignoring those who work to prevent looting, while covering up for those who enable it

    Right thread, wrong thread... ehhh....


    So, now on video that I just watched. The mysterious pallets of bricks appearing near protest sites were a mystery that is apparently solved now. I was really hoping it was the Antifa assholes doing it. Nope, it's the police department in a police pickup truck #1400, placing pallets of bricks near the protest sites, and making things so much worse.

    I'm sorry, but based on the scores of videos I've seen while trying to understand all this going on, the police in the United States as a whole, has lost my support pretty much 100%. I was watching so many videos where my immediate reaction is, that police officer should at least be fired, if not put in jail, for the flat out criminal behavior they're showing. I have two cousins who are police officers, and I just hope they're not this bad.
