    I’m thinking I’m going to find some of those ziptie handcuffs

    Because something occurred to me watching that. There were a LOT more people than those cops.

    It’s about time citizens start arresting cops for trying to incite violence by bringing armor and weapons to the streets…

      Brake fluid dissolves a surprising amount of plastic and painted surfaces. Just an interesting factoid.

    Politically I’m neither for nor against throwing a sub sandwich at federal agents.

    But…that poor sub. Was it at least a really bad sub? I know you could argue that of course it’s a bad sub, it’s from Subway…but still. Did he buy that sub with intent, or was he just so angry that he threw his dinner?

    Something with that length and girth is something these agents aren’t familiar with, so they scared.

      Fascists will never fight something they don’t believe they won’t win. They are pure cowards. That’s where the authoritarian beliefs come from.

      I’ve lived my whole life with GAD. I get panicked by the stupidest things. Fear is easy to see. Cowardice is blindingly obvious.

      3 armed and armored cops ran after a guy who threw a sandwich at them. They literally have nothing to fear, except the off chance that others think they can throw food at cops too without retaliation. They must maintain the lie that they are powerful, and the moment that gets shattered, their whole world comes undone.

      It’s clearly an attack sub. Likely with bootleg nuclear ordinance. Clearly terrorism!

    “He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

      Also, to be fair to him, at no point in the video does he appear to think any of this is even remotely amusing.

      Good luck with her brag about false charges. its not a felony level of endangerment. At the very worst an “officer” would have gotten mayo on his shirt, like he does at lunch every day anyway. Total clown show.

          He will get charged with a felony. They will try to make an example out of him to discourage people from doing the same.
