(66,386 posts)Sterile procedure gloves are usually un-dyed or buff-colored.

(14,972 posts)Used in medical exam situations, first aid situations, as PPE, and also sold at hardware stores and construction suppliers for any time where a home owner or tradesperson does not want to come into contact with many paints/stains/adhesives (though not resistant to all solvents).
As noted by others, he was either signalling other right wing authoritarian shitheads by some sign known to themselves, or cosplaying as someone who would normally be wearing such things like EMS.

Who knows what was going through his mind.

(21,768 posts)He had apparently been there for hours. I also saw pictures of him scrubbing graffiti.
Balance that with a video of him throwing fists on a girl, sucker punching her from behind, no less. I don't think that was the same day, though he is wearing the same crocs.
Like you say, who knows what was going through his mind?

even voted for Trump this time around, let alone 2016. He was not even yet a teenager yet when Trump took that fateful downward escalator ride in Trump Tower on June 16th, 2015. He is a new, pure distillation of Trumpian times and Trumpian fascistic agitprop. It is already an assembly-line of terror-programming, and will only get worse, whether Trump is tossed out on his arse on January 20th, 2021 or not.

(29,674 posts)The III%ers around here supposedly wear them so if stuff goes down they can ditch them and they won't show positive if tested for GSR.
I'm not joking. Someone made a half joke about wanting to shoot his ex on a local page and several of the local III%ers jumped in and reminded him to get "blue or purple" med grade gloves so if he's tested for GSR it will show negative.
They're pretty brazen in public nowadays.

The 'citizen militia' in all it's questionable legitimacy.
