The Republican Office of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was intentionally set on fire in an act of arson.

If you know something about how this happened, no you don't.

Finally, some uplifting news. But knowing Republicans they probably did it themselves to play the victim. They were quoted saying "we will not be silenced". Lady you won't even shut the fuck up to hear what people think of you. There's no bigger hint we can give. These people don't care about protests we need action.

Yep, these vibes for sure. That's a fucking nice stencil they got there.

Spray painting Biden 2020 and BLM with an Anarcy symbol gives it away that this indeed was self started.

Not only that - who tries to be so neat with an Anarchy symbol? No one who has ever drawn one before.

The stencil in OP is giving me similar vibes, but WTH do I know?

Or these vibes...

You guys have to figure out if you think setting fire to your political opponents' headquarters is a good thing or not. If it helps you, then why care if it's a false flag operation?

"The Republicans are trying to paint us as supporting vandalism and arson! Glad to see their stuff get damaged, though."

Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable

Indeed. And yet here we are.

Incredible. No notes.

Oh hey people in the USA are actually doing something.

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Damm, it's a small thing, but the fact they used a stencil for the graffiti to save time is a good foresight.

Are the K’s picnic tables?

Edit: not quite
