"rioters and looters"

These are just protests and there have been no reports of looting.

I watched most of it on TikTok live since Friday. It began with a hit and run of a protestor by ICE.

I definitely didn’t see looters, but protestors were throwing rocks, cinder blocks, and M80s, and lighting cars on fire. That prompted ICE to don riot gear and deploy tear gas.

This is a bad idea. We don’t have the numbers to get baited into escalation. This will only embolden fascism.

Edit: Please share this.

Fascism will escalate regardless, in the absence of real resistance they will simply lie to justify doing what they were always planning to do anyway, passively accepting their actions will do nothing to help, resistance is the only correct answer and it will absolutely have to be violent

I watched it happen all day yesterday. Protesters are throwing rocks through windows of vehicles as they drive by. They’re lighting M80s and throwing them at the agents.

The VAST majority is peaceful. Many are throwing rocks. A few are taking even further.

I get that they’re pissed, but this isn’t the solution. Refusing to walk into a trap isn’t cowardice, it’s strategy.

alleged protestors. The cops always sprinkle in agent-provacateurs to get exactly what they want. They quite literally even do it in sewing and knitting circles if they have any political message.
