Yep agree. I may have been a little over zealous with my words. But it seems like the normal avenues of resistance are not reacting fast enough. The Democrats need to take a leaf out of AOCs playbook and the court system is long winded. Thus people react, often badly.
This is the madness that our society will get engulfed with if we don't know the difference between peaceful protest & crimes. https://youtu.be/kHyzRwHxB9Q
Martin Luther King once said, "Riots are the language of the unheard." The government, politicians, they hate riots, but it's been proven time and time again in this country that real change only happens after riots. People have been burning Teslas for weeks. Violence only gets worse.
Let's see what the investigation shows. I'll bet it's some MAGA _agent provocateur_ trying to astroturf a story to run on "the Fox News" as Colbert calls it.
Ordinarily, I don't support breaking the law, and I'm glad that no one was hurt, but I celebrate this heroic act of defiance. We need to meet them where they are. Take off the kid gloves and the ballet slippers & put on steel-tipped combat boots and MMA gloves. This is a good start.
Who knew that when you disappear ppl off the streets, starve children, close National Parks, & threaten to kill old/disabled ppl by taking away their only income, that some might respond precipitously? 🤔
just gonna have a quick look at NYT and see how they reported the torching of the AZDems office, followed by the new office in Tempe being shot up 3 times last year
Tend to agree. However, they are violently vandalising the US constitution, and burning the country down, so I can see why some poor, harried soul, might see it as acceptable.
Alternatively, people could protest, in say a week, between noon and 1pm.
That'll show them.
Deliberately set to be a victim.
WTF cares about a New Mexico office?
If it were a real statement it’d be in a higher profile location.
They are the professional victims.

My daughter was born soon after 9/11

It can’t be easy on her mental health - not that she’ll tell me though
We got the profile already. Just a matter of time...
‘ Republican party’s arson of social contracts draws rebuke.’
Don’t make memes.
Don’t take schadenfreude.
Condemn it.

No doubt.
definition - the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
GET ON THE "AMERICAN SIDE."
