How about you go fuck yourself instead.
Even if they offer a cash reward, Luigi has taught us they won't pay out
You know, for those people lacking a moral compass
They will always have a loophole to keep you from getting yours.
I'm just hoping they didn't bring their phones. Btw, if you go to a protest, don't bring your smartphone.
Throwing rocks, starting fires, and initiating violence? I'd say there's a much better than 50% chance that this is someone who came to instigate violence rather that support the protest. If he's ever arrested, I'd bet money that he turns out to have a pardon from Trump in his history or a ProudBoy tat or both.
Alright..
At least the violence is against the appropriate targets.
Stop discrediting ways of protesting you dont like by making sruff up. The outside agitator trope is a counterinsurgency tactic to sow distrust in resistance movements.
This already happened with the George Floyd protests and in the end no proof was ever shown for this being a relevant factor in any meaningful way.
Yes, it can be used to sow distrust, and it's also a method that has been regularly used to incite violence so the authorities can respond with escalated violence. As for proof, you mean proof like the white supremacist that police identified as having been started fires and incited violence at otherwise peaceful George Floyd protests? Or this one? Or these guys?
The use of agents provocateur to turn peaceful protests violent is so common that it's practically a tradition at this point.
Step 1. Peaceful protest
Step 2. Police start gunning down protestors
Step 3. "Guys dont escalate, the police might start shooting people"
Step 4. Fascism
I think you know what step you are at
You can't just cherry pick random data points and use those to assert broad claims. How about these guys. Was the Minneapolis precinct burning the action of proud boys?
If anything a majority were the most average of average. If you're gonna keep pushing this narrative at least make sure you get your paycheck from the DHS.

You are wrong, people are pissed and are willing to show it. Have you never felt serious about something in your life? He didn't initiate the violence, the raids in his community from masked fascist goon squads started the violence. He is defending the people.
we can help identify the ICE PIGS instead.
