    It’s behind a paywall for me. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that calling the rioters “vermin” isn’t exactly going to calm the situation.

        Given how distant the president actions and speech is from the will of the people this might as well be the XVII century

        Multiple rioters have broken into police armouries and have taken firearms. I saw a vid last night on twitter where one was carrying around a belt-fed LMG, if twitter wasn’t fucked right now I’d link it.

        They are vermin. They aren’t protesting anything anymore, they’re just lighting things on fire.

        Oh hey here it is: https://twitter.com/abroadfren/status/1675380197124866050, you can see another one brandish a pistol.

          So they are attempting to defend themselves against a well armed militarized police force. How dare they!

            They wouldn’t have to defend themselves if they’d stop looting and setting shit on fire.

            You’re the same kind of troglodyte that thinks this will accomplish something.
