Shiiit. I don’t even want to think about intentional infrastructure destruction. But it does make sense. Antifa et al didn’t kick this off just to smash some glass and expand their air Jordan’s portfolio. There is an endgame. It could be as basic as making trump look weak etc and trying to get dems elected but that’s HIGHLY unlikely. 99.9999% of antifa are Bernie bros and he’s not even running for president. This means there’s another surprise. Either they’re trying to push a hero into the zeitgeist for bringing calm to the country (to then replace Biden on the dem ticket), or there’s some legit purging of gov about to happen. Then they’ll install their ruler by coup. |

I see a pattern with that. They won't stop when you're down. You better make sure they don't get close Anyone who's seen these types of assaults (in person or on video) is well aware of this. That's why I tend to emphasize striking and takedown defense as opposed to strict BJJ/ground fighting. Going down, whether it's being taken down, being stunned/KO'ed or taking another guy down, is dangerous IRL where there's no referee or guarantee of it being 1-on-1. I've seen barfights where 1 guy mistakenly thought it was 1-on-1. Beautiful takedown into control position, only to take a barstool to the back/back of the head, followed by being kicked and stomped a few times before other people rushed to break it up. If there weren't other people rushing in to stop the guys from continuing to stomp, kick and smash the dazed guy with barstools, even if he'd survived, he would've probably been left with lifelong impairment. |

This is part of the problem. Leftists have been installed in positions of authority in many of the rioting areas. MSM still keeps pushing the "peaceful protests" narrative. People that haven't been victimized by the rioting, or haven't had a close friend or relative victimized may be "asleep." I don't think the average person sees even 10% of the videos that have been shared in this thread. MSM makes stuff up, and it usually ends with the message, "Orange Man Bad", "All his fault." People need to wake up and see what is happening for themselves. You can't undo decades of media and school indoctrination overnight. ...worry less about signing chain of custody forms and more about ending riots. Local authorities are supporting the riots. Left-leaning politicians and celebrities are contributing funds to support the rioting. IMO, they're going to have to make Federal cases. To do that, they will need to show an inter-state and/or international component. That takes time. In the meantime, the destruction will continue. I don't like it. As for shutting down the encrypted comms, the opposition seems to be well organized enough to have contingency plans in place. An example could be eveyone buying new burner phones. Have some predetermined social media accounts for exchanging new contact information. Info could be passed in innocent-sounding messages. Maybe take every third letter of every word longer than 9 characters and converty those letters to numbers. That's the new contact number (just an example). They could be back up and running in an hour. |

Since the Left loves "Science" so much.
Give them some science when they try to argue how great accepting their newfound political violence is. i FuCkInG lOvE sCiEnCe! "Across 6 experiments, including 3 that were preregistered, participants indicated less support for social movements that used more extreme protest actions. This result obtained across a variety of movements (e.g., animal rights, anti-Trump, anti-abortion) and extreme protest actions (e.g., blocking highways, vandalizing property). Further, in 5 of 6 studies, negative reactions to extreme protest actions also led participants to support the movement's central cause less, and these effects were largely independent of individuals' prior ideology or views on the issue" https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-02398-001 |

I've seen barfights where 1 guy mistakenly thought it was 1-on-1. Beautiful takedown into control position, only to take a barstool to the back/back of the head, followed by being kicked and stomped a few times before other people rushed to break it up. If there weren't other people rushing in to stop the guys from continuing to stomp, kick and smash the dazed guy with barstools, even if he'd survived, he would've probably been left with lifelong impairment.

I see a pattern with that. They won't stop when you're down. You better make sure they don't get close Anyone who's seen these types of assaults (in person or on video) is well aware of this.

I’ve probably shared this a couple times here, but here goes again. Downtown Orlando a few years ago at like 2am after going to bars with a female friend, we go back to the car to wait for an Uber. 5x 20-something Arab males approached us, I knew what was coming. They were parked next to us and were trying to drag my friend into their car. I ended up fighting 3 at a time and I was pretty sure I was going to die. I would have if they had a single weapon between them. I ended up breaking a few of their ribs, noses, possibly an arm. I then proceeded to destroy at least one of their cell phones and do about 2k in damage to their car. I ended up with a bloody nose and some bruises. Since then, I do not like to be surrounded by anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to start blasting if a group was even attempting to flank me. |

Has anyone seen a total count for last night of officers shot or hit by vehicles? It seemed like nationwide there could be 30 or more.
Please @me if anyone has seen an article on it. Thanks. |

My personal defensive weapons self-identify as non-binary black-nitride-American high-speed wireless peacekeeping devices, thus to discriminate against them is bigoted, racist and anti-science.

Depending on how the populace reacts and what occurs, YES, this very well could be the event that ushers in a second civil war and results in the fracturing of the republic. Gentlemen, The Boog is officially at our doorstep. I disagree. Where are the constant bombings? Where are the dozens of completely burned-out neighborhoods around the nation? This recent rioting is terrible - but it's quite a ways away from the 1960s! We don’t have police stations being bombed yet. Just overran. I think the reason it's worse today is the institutional support the anti america crowd has. They have half the elected officials, probably most of the bureaucrats, the vast majority of teachers and professors, and a high number of judges and activist lawyers. The people bombing police stations in the 60s have been teaching the kids since the 80s. Or become activist lawyers and judges. That is why I think its much worse today. The radicals back then just quit their violence and become mainstream influencers of society. And they've been doing it for a half a century. |
