A couple of weeks ago #WinstonSmith and Steff Weezy ended up with a platform of millions due to their absolutely brilliant content. Winston used his social media platform to advocate for resistance. 1/🧵
Winston had a bench warrant, missing a VoP date. Sound familiar? Daunte Wright had a bench warrant. With covid they've been considering people "served" the second the mail goes out, no accountability for if it got to them. Winston probably didn't even know. 2/🧵
They monitored his social media to know that he was at Stellas. They waited until he was all the way in his car to confront him. With no body cams, allegedly. This gave them an easy excuse to shoot, and an easy way to plant rounds without ballistics easily disproving them. 3/🧵
They then called him a murder suspect when they knew that wasn't the case, spreading the rumor to stifle revolt. They claimed a spent round was found in his car, same as Michael Reinoehl. Evidence later showed Michael *couldn't* have reasonably fired first. 4/🧵
The city had previously said they were working with feds to reopen GFS. This happened hours after they failed to retake the intersection, without any apparant fed involvement. This was designed to escalate unrest. If it was designed to spark unrest, why are posts suppressed? 5/🧵
People have noticed that their posts about Winston have gotten much less visibility than similar posts. The feds have their hand in social media. I've got a theory about this, but this is where the thread becomes a bit more conspiracy theory-ish than fact based argument. 6/🧵
If you do something to spark unrest, you'll get it. If you limit visibility, it will stay more within the movement. This unrest will not only be easier to contain, but will pretty much entirely made up of your political enemies (folks in the movement). 7/🧵
I'm not saying that last part to peace police, I'm saying it so that we know how important it is to get the real story out to anyone and everyone we can. Not for political reasons, but moral reasons: a man was murdered in cold blood as a chess move. This is not Okay. End/🧵

If one were trying to fortify makeshift barricades from hostile forces on foot or wheels, a key design would be trying to make it more difficult to roll thru/dismantle them to at least buy egress time. 1/🧵
Sand makes things slippery for wheels. If barricade is strong enough to withstand accidental collision, this could cause problems for bikes or light vehicles, if spread for at *least* a yard or 2 outside the barricade. Glass shards/nails/etc can be mixed to damage tires 2/🧵
Dish soap (when not mixed with sand), can make for a slippery surface hard to navigate on foot underneath or behind a barricade. This is time sensitive - if left too long it would become sticky, which is a less effective hindrance 3/🧵
