The protestors should remind the secret service that Trump’s robbing the gently caress out of them by charging them every time he brings them on his properties and try to get them to link up.

The original tweet blowing up, but it doesn't show the fuckstick running at someone trying to swing a loving sword at them. No confirmation if he's actually a local business owner either.

Dude is insanely lucky he survived, he was out cold.

Chances he'll get charged for trying to murder someone with a gladius? Not a lot of expectation there.

EDIT: Also the series of videos above is a severe trigger warning of a man almost being beaten to death so i'm pretty numb to this and it kinda affected me

MOM WAS RIGHT
I was laying in bed this morning and frustrated that our government and corporate masters are going to force us to get this disease.

I thought about all the bullying and hate I have withstood all my life and internalized.

My wife and I decided to do the March in Las Vegas. I wanted people to know what I believe and stand for because it's time.

There's no going back.

I have never felt more like prey. They neutered our protests by forcing crowds through a corridor they occupied.

We were organized and peaceful but the police just kept up the noise and kept the group closely packed in crosswalks.

We need to support each other because I'm telling you. Support is weak. We're getting this disease.

If I'm going to die, I will die standing up for our people.

I know this sounds doom and gloom. There's good.

The protests were so safe there were kids and babies (mostly white people). Things started to get tense by the time we reached the car, but I think... We might be over the brink my dudes.

Even so it's usually a matter of adding or removing some solder between a lead or two to modify a commercial radio to broadcast on non-compliant bands. We did it to a bunch of different brands and models for adversary equipment for training

This. A UV-5R is still $20 on Amazon and easily modifiable to be anything.

Nobody sells off the shelf encrypted radios equivalent to those though, which sucks.

If it's going on here monday I might just wander down there to smoke a fat joint while yelling at pigs in public.

E: now that I think about it, I was probably hearing gas and poo poo go off earlier when I thought it was just assholes with fireworks. Still hearing the occasional shot.
