    Watching the footage of the actual shooting shows how much of a cowardly piece of shit he is. The dude basically took a potshot after getting shoved past the wall. The tragic note is that he was about to be manhandled by a bunch of dudes before someone urged them to let him go, which led to him shooting someone.

        In portland in 2020 someone was climbing up a flag pole to rip down an American flag (idk if it's my recommended way of doing that, but cool seems based to me). Random people in the crowd started yelling at them and throwing waterbottles and stuff at them trying to get them to come down.

        Fuck those people

          I remember all the people online and at protests saying that anyone who actually did anything disruptive was an agitator, and that all the true protesters were peaceful and orderly. Had to an op that started that shit.

            Later in Portland one guy busting up a sidewalk to make bricks to throw, and everyone grabbed him and shoved him over to the police lines.

            Like there's 2 outcomes: That's an overzealous adventurist comrade or it's an undercover cop. Either way, why the fuck would you push that person over to the cops and hand them over to them? If some discipline is needed in the mob, the mob can dispense it.

          one video showed some guy spray painting or smashing a window, then a bunch of protestors restrained him and pushed him towards the police and started cheering when they arrested him lol. I don't know if he was an agitator, but I doubt those protestors knew either and for all they know they just threw a random pissed off guy to get arrested
