On a serious note:
Just another example of these far right asshats being violent, and the protesters they're trying to attack showing restraint and peacefully detaining them.
Whatever thing that guy had, it looks like a real gun. He's lucky he didn't get capped as soon as he started firing it.
OK...? And cops shoot black teenagers for holding cans of Arizona Iced Tea, claiming they thought it was a firearm.
This dude had a literal replica of a firearm. He brandished it like a firearm, and threatened peaceful protestors. Whether or not the gun was real isn't super relevant at this point.
UK police just rammed a child on a bike with their car and arrested him for having a blue plastic water pistol
Poor kiddo. That had to have been traumatic.
Any bystander would have been justified in lighting that dude up the second that gun was visible. For example, if the camera was a gun it'd be privileged self defense and defense of others.
I googled "splatter ball gun" and everything looked like a toy. This looked either like a real firearm, a replica or a replica airsoft gun. Either way, it looks real without a close inspection.
Another prime specimen of the master race.
Cool truck too.
Is he wearing his Morphious Halloween costume? Oh well… one less trump voter.
You're assuming they convict him of a crime sufficient to strip his voting rights. Frankly, I'm surprised they even arrested him after they got the mask off and saw he was white.
Everyone is white in Eugene.
Another relevant saying is: curiosity killed the cat.
This dude had to know he's an uneducated dope with no significant experience or knowledge in law, politics or foreign policy. Who tricked him into thinking he knows shit about shit in the first place?
the woman in the front seat just seems totally unbothered by what's happening around her, how high is she?
Did someone unrelated to the police stop the shooting, and then the pigs made the guy who stopped things spread his mooch?
Pigs are worse than useless. At least they didn’t kill the hero like they usually do.
Nah, but you notice they made sure to humiliate both "We take care of us" guys because they don't like how these actions threaten perceptions on their monopoly on the legitimate use of force (a monopoly they regularly abuse).
Meanwhile they love to parrot the, "if only there was a good guy with a gun there to stop it..."
These motherfuckers don't have a genuine bone in their bodies.
Do the police parrot that?
Always come across to me as "Call us exclusively (but don't expect we'll come)."
Nice jacket
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
There is no way for a person to discern that the weapon he is holding is not a real firearm.
This guy is going to jail.
Also surprised that Mr. Terrorist waited for an Israel/Palestine war protest to trigger him, of ll things.
This is why you buy guns, liberals. Those cops weren’t there in time, that was the “good guys with guns” that you so often denigrate and question the existence of.
