I didn’t see anyone with bear spray, sharpened flag poles, body armor, helmets, hockey sticks and not one pair of flex cuffs.Yet right wing nuts spent all night expecting violence. From whom I wonder

Was really making a big deal about this supposedly violent women's group.

Something about Farmers.

They had a video of a group of really just a few women walking up a driveway


This may have been a rightwing channel and I wonder if this is all made up.

They bait desperate folks who are seeking solutions, get them to make contact, then bombard them with their religious doctrine.

My FB feed is litered with right wingers anxiously telling one another to avoid urban areas because of all the likely violence from this.

They just live in their alternative reality.

During the summer of covid, you saw countless small towns across the country with half the town gathered near town hall armed to the teeth because their head shrinking right wing propogandists were screaming about Antifa and BLM coming into their towns to get them.

The term "violent" seems like a right wing concoction. But words have lost their
meaning for people in this country. Pretty soon we'll be speaking in grunts.

at Planned Parenthood centers! A little spraying of paint is anything but violent.

Things got really violent for a while. But there was so much energy. It was an amazing time

Time to march again! Get myself a good sign.

I need something for my front yard. I want people to know where I stand on this.

but I don't think the term "violent" describes graffiti or even rowdy marches.
Violent properly describes a white supremacist shooting people in a grocery store. The term
violent in the context of protests is an ongoing calculated misuse of the term
by right wing outlets such as Fox. I don't even think of shoving in a protest as
violent unless it results in serious injury (not scrapes or bruises) or non-trivial
damage to property like arson. But this is context driven. If someone assaults
a co-worker at the office and it results in scrapes or bruises this might rightly be
considered violence. That's because there are reasonable expectations that
would not occur in an office context.

Unless you count people with opinions differing from the SCrOTUS. Which they probably do.

There’s one hidden behind every street post, don’t you know.

It is why they need the gunz! It is the only way to stop a charging pacifist.

I think I saw a piece reporting it once on Faux news while I was trying to choke down breakfast in a diner and get the hell out of there.
