It is illegal to wear a mask to protect yourself from police chemical weapons. The state forces the citizens to inhale the gases. If you don't inhale the gases, then they disappear you.
Nooooo you're supposed to do non-violence and that includes lying down when the tank runs over you, you've giving DRUMPF what he wants!! 
Possibly tracked down by right wing conspiracy theorists? I think they also played showed footage of the guy allegedly distributing masks on Fox News
God I have nothing but contempt for 
Which sucks because I do a great impression of him
I punched him in the face once
That was you‽
Have you ever seen the "God those communists are amazing" clip?
I have!
This is like meeting Mr. T at the mall
Noted, face mask stays on at all times and changes every time
Too gorgeous to be such a badass.
I fucking hate chuds so much. They're so fucking dumb
After all he's been through Jones licks the boot jerking off to "how dare you try to mitigate the physical and chemical terror of the state".
CUCKED AF
so now charity (which is monetary and thus a free expression) is illegal huh
How dare he give the protesters something to protect themselves
next: folks giving out water bottles
That happened in Asheville in 2020, they beat up the FNB groups that were distributing water to protestors, then destroyed all the bottled water and arrested people.
Local nurses union was involved too I believe. They were providing medical aid to people who were gored and mutilated by cops. Then they got attacked by the cops too.
One of my buddies at the time was on the front lines and they kicked his teeth in the shot him point blank with a rubber bullet. He was trying to get away too, but they just wanted to enact violence on anyone they could.
Serious boot coming down shit. Next it'll be if you're wearing a mask at all (even not near a protest) you can be arrested for rioting or some bullshit like that, conspiracy, whatever. Probably go after the antifa medics next and say simply if you're not brawling with police (or our reactionary militia thugs) you wouldn't need first aid gear and therefore you're materially enabling protest.
Trying to think of another example of a country going this hard on people just doing support role stuff that's not directly weapons or improvised weapons.
why is there like four feet of space above his head? do you guys stand on the seats while driving?
I think the photo shows him sitting in a truck or SUV. Trucks in the US are massive. It is a problem. Trump wants other countries to buy US vehicles but US vehicles are so big that no other country wants them.
looks like a yank tank + he's slouching

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
