Protesters in whatever country straight up murder people: FREEDOM ISN'T FREE ITS GOTTA BE WATERED BY THE BLOOD OF RANDOMS ON THE STREET.

Protesters in the US subdue a person trying to stab them: THIS IS WHY NOBODY TAKES YOUR MOVEMENT SERIOUSLY.

      There needs tp be an international task force that hits redditors in hte face when they type out "Win stupid prizes"

      Edit: Also this is a zero tolerance policy. Context is irrelevant. Even if you're talking about carnival games you get hit in the fucking face.

      Eh, it's not even inconsistent, really. Remember all those CHUD demonstrations, with the magnanimous media coverage and full cooperation from the US police state? Well, that's how they covered the Hong Kong riots, because they're the same kind of protest.
