Video of the #Portland clarinet player being arrested.

Honestly ditching the black bloc in favor of silly costumes, naked bike rides & brass bands is politically quite ingenious. It makes ICE look utterly foolish in any footage that appears on the news average Joe watches.

JFC... Gestapo pigs...
This way worse than the late 60's and early 70's when We went to protests.

@MalcolmNance Good thing they got that dangerous criminal playing a clarinet off the streets. Portland is clearly safer now that ICE is there to save us 🙄
@MalcolmNance @nomdeb and right at the end you see the real heroes, making the most of the benefit of being out of range. Such brave, proud, boys...
@MalcolmNance They should be playing the Darth Vader tune from Star Wars when they're doing this shit.
@MalcolmNance I worry they don't much care about looking foolish. At some (dangerously near?) point we are going to have to acknowledge ICE and their sympathizers are dressed for and waging actual war. Naked on a bike isn't how I would want to fight in that war. Not that I want to fight in it at all, of course
@MalcolmNance They just want photo ops of them attacking violent "antifa" extremists. Don't give them that photo op. Make them look stupid for attacking innocent people in inflatable costumes and people just dancing and spreading joy. Humiliate their fragile GI Joe egos.
@benpocalypse @MalcolmNance I hope you’re right, but my fear is that they (and many of their supporters) are just as gleeful seeing “manly godly military men” putting people they see as inferior for being soft and happy and goofy “in their place”.

@MalcolmNance prolly stupid idea, but...

Everyone start wearing flag football belts to protests.

If they catch your flag, you have to surrender without further protest

Anything to make the whole "violent protest" meme look stupid

@MalcolmNance I dont do video, has anyone paraphrased her response ?
@MalcolmNance Given they are wearing black helmets and tactical gear they should appear to be scary. But slipping around in the mud struggling to restrain a lone woman clarinet player they just look pathetic.

@MalcolmNance

They have snipers on rooftops holding aim on civilians in American cities.

Donald Trump must resign.

If he will not resign, the appropriate persons in the constitutionally designated positions must use the constitution and remove him.

Today.

@MalcolmNance the black costumes on several of the mud-wrestlers suggest a lack of effort and Ingenuity on their part.
