    Gonna say controversial take on here, but people here must be seething that a bunch of boomers have accomplished more direct action and a threat to how the system operates then they did during a whole year of protests.

        A lot of the protesters in the capital hill have guns as well and there are already reports of gunfire exchange, armed standoff, and they have started pumping tear gas into the building. Gee who would have thunk people with guns would get cops scared. It's almost like every revolution started that way

        Edit: someone got shot, there goes your theory

          I also saw a cop in full riot gear hugging one of the demonstrators, it was capitol security rather than a regular cop that did the shooting.

            yeah the only cops actually brawling with the protestors are like capital security and FBI.

          That someone who was shot was fairly likely to have been shot by one of their own

          Only thing I've heard about so far is that it was a woman.

            There is a video floating about showing the moment she got shot and she was for sure one of the protesters.

      Yeah cuz the cops don't actually want to stop them lol

      Sure helps that the cops don't do anything to stop them. If BLM protesters showed up armed and open carrying firearms, the National Guard and DHS would be called and the situation would quickly escalate into a stand off with law enforcement and military.

          It's almost like this is a right wing coup and they have the police to protect them. 🤷‍♂️

              Did you riot? If not shut the fuck up. The entire fucking government caters to fash, they stormed their own building and suddenly we accomplished nothing over the summer? They're white, they're pro law enforcement probably fucking related to half the cops, they own businesses, yeah big shit they've accomplished.

              Your position is there was no bravery exhibited at the summer's protests?

              Fuck you. Get off your ass and lead a revolution then, if you literally think this is possible. Police helped them, along with half of the GOP.

                Not American, and I was already part of one, we stormed the parliament and deposed the old leader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhlMCPb4ZM8&ab_channel=VOANews

                Americans are cucked. Let me destroy a fucking Starbucks or Shoe store. LOL That shit is a insurance write off for multi-million/billion companies.

                    Political parasites need to know there is unrest in the people. Destroying random businesses does nothing to scare them, having it on their doorstep reminds them to not get comfortable. That was my problem with BLM from the beginning. Looting a supermarket or some random small business, it does nothing. Attack their shiny thrones at their parliament buildings and or city councils, whatever. Even tho I don't support what these boomers are doing, it helps to scare these ghouls. Let them scatter away into their bunkers like the roaches they are.

                    Hehehehehe, the best revolution is the posting revolution and arguing about toxic internet forums like this place has been doing. I don't think anyone should be doing violence baby, just hugs and kisses. Maybe we can vote the change we want.

      I mean, they haven't accomplished anything other than having a game of patty-cake with the cops without retaliation. So they get past the cops, then what? They aren't actually doing anything, and don't seem to have any real goal

          I mean, I wouldn't call that an accomplishment, that seems like incompetence to me, she's just a bystander with bad luck so far as I can tell, not any target of value for them

      This isn't in any way a threat to how the system operates because this is who the system represents. This is as disconnected from reality as "progressives" talking about making a left wing Tea Party
