At the end of the day the Democratic Party- the system and nation it stands for- must all be burnt to ashes. The horror of the last four years will return upon us a thousand fold if we do not break the chains of this system.
Anyway, unbiased journalist here. I never advocate shit.
A very Trump-y 4runner drove past the pro Biden celebration at Pioneer Courthouse Square, dragging an American flag in the muck and slime while a Blue Lives Matter flag flaps in the breeze.
Here we see video of the Trump mobile getting run off.
They came back, presumably trying to provoke something. Protesters armed with AR15s and handguns march around the edge of the event, keeping eyes on them.
A rifle was confiscated today at a Portland protest. Based on the sticker that adorned it, I suspect the guy carrying it was more on the Boogaloo end of things than anywhere else.
Dead Tyrants Society is a veteran owned lifestyle brand for gun lovers.
They sell stickers and tactical patches and the like. Their store is closed right now so I can't tell you their precise inventory.
But their Instagram gives you an idea of their politics.
I find this post particularly interesting. This is very much a fashwave looking aesthetic. Which does not mean these folks are fascists, as variations on the style became increasingly common this year.
But check out the comments. Interesting use of "deplorable".
I'm seeing a lot of Chris Dorner references online lately, and I do understand why. But I wish people would think more about Monica Quan, the 28-year-old assistant coach at Cal-State Fullerton he murdered.
Quan was shot alongside her fiance. These are their pictures.
Dorner's rage was understandable, his fury at a bigoted system was righteous. But his actions were not.
Quan's fiance, Keith Lawrence, was a campus cop at USC. Does this make him a participant in a broken and vile system? Yes. Does it justify he and his fiance's death?
I struggle every day with a deep well of rage over the horrific things I have watched police do to other people. I can only imagine how much stronger Dorner's rage must have been. On a moral level, I can justify many different actions to fight such a system. But not this.
