    That’s because we don’t set shit on fire every time the government looks at us wrong.

        I agree, but it’s also worth noting the influence of police forces, riot police, swat teams, and the national guard.

        The US basically has an occupying army to quell unrest in every county across the country, so it’s harder to properly protest without state retaliation. Not to say we shouldn’t do it, but I can understand people’s reticence.

        Oh so I’m guessing it did come out he was doing it for Trump? Because the one who did it in protest of the our support of Israel was looked at as a kind of a hero here.

          The reporting I’ve seen was that he had been hanging around the courthouse for a few days and was obviously mentally unwell but he essentially thinks Biden and Trump are working together to establish a fascist state and it all heavily involves Peter Thiel. I didn’t read it but someone made a word cloud of his pamphlet and it was all over the place and even involved conspiracy theories of yore that have been supplanted by QAnon and vaccine stuff.

          So, I guess bipartisan?

          He threw conspiracy theory pamphlets in the air beforehand, so safe bet it was for Trump.
