So, like, no bombs? No guns? Not even knives? How about nunchaku?
Not really seeing why these bastard cops had to do SWAT style raids. Unless, of course, they're terrorists...
Fascists gonna fascist
Oh you mean the same FBI that was ignoring an insurrection as it happened and has taken its sweet fucking time rounding up insurrectionists?
They don't have time for that shit, but they've got time for this.
ACAB.
Anyone who thinks any police in the USA are on the side of good and democracy are naive fucking idiots.
The cruelty is the point
Like I suggested- they're terrorists. People may not like it when I call them terrorists, but what else can you call them when they spend so much time using violence and intimidation to cause fear amongst the populace?
Don’t you know? In an antifa super soldier’s hands those stickers become deadly weapons!
Love that they still do this with all their enemies. The left is simultaneously the most dangerous, and also comprised of effeminate weaklings. Biden is both an evil super genius, and a befuddled geezer. So refreshing to know they've at least remained consistent in one thing; being dumb asses.
Common fascist tactic, of course. The notion is that they’re being suppressed by an enemy who is unworthy.
Right out of Umberto Eco's list of defining points of fascism.

Eco grew up under Mussolini, so he knew a thing or two about fascism.
Blatant First Amendment violation, right there.
So many Constitutional violations here...
Even if they had guns, it's a constitutional right. I've never understood the obsession with reporting when guns are found. Around 45% of US households have a gun, does that mean that 45% of Americans are criminals in the eyes of the law?! Actually probably.
