I should have said a **subset** of Antifa is becoming militarized.

Put another way, there’s combatants and noncombatants. I’m the latter.

I’d rather just write roleplay and record the audiobooks and split the money evenly with my partner and not worry about Donald Trump. He’s not going to hurt me unless I go to a protest.

I’m educating myself about LGBT advocacy. _That’s_ what I want to pay the bills with. And I can fight Trump from behind the scenes.

Can we add anti-Christian to the list of ICE adjectives?

> New video circulating online shows a taco vendor running from masked agents during an immigration raid at a North Hills church.

(Short summary: ICE raids food ministry at United Methodist Church.)

This isn’t my church, but we coordinate on things. Like feeding the hungry–you know one of those things followers of Christ are supposed to do.

Lots of talk of Martin Luther King yesterday, because people are getting mad and it’s hard to stay peaceful.

The woman who was shot 5 times and drove herself to the hospital- what caliber of rounds would that have been? Usually, people who are shot 5 times suffer grievous wounds or die.

You might have said "some people _claiming_ to be Antifa are _making noises_ about becoming militarized.

They still don’t have the first fucking clue what Antifa means. Well we are not a group. But we are against facists. That’s it, that’s the whole program. But I’m preaching to the choir here.

How come they never say _ **what** _ city it is?! I went to the Youtube page, and nowhere does it even name the city. What are they thinking? Why would media _refuse_ to tell you who, what, when, where, why? The 5 Ws, remember, dawg?

No, seriously, this DRM “News”—what is wrong with their heads? No wonder everything is going to shit. Now even the media don’t give a damn about facts and information.

I gathered it was Santa Clara, California, based on the giant “Santa Clara, California” seal mounted on the wall. 😉

That’s no excuse for not fucking reporting. 🙄

I’m seeing it a lot in music fan groups. They post a song but don’t name the artist or song title. It shows contempt for the other fans. It shows contempt for your audience.

Agree. I’ve written my senators 6 times now. DO SOMETHING. We’ve got masked unidentified armed intruders in our streets kidnapping and killing people.

One wrote back “Well I’m working on a bill… blah blah blah.” If your freaking house is burning down, you don’t worry about your couch, OK!

I was attempting to say they would be trained to leave the kid, but as @Buck_Godot mentioned up thread, they were potentially using him as bait, which they probably have been trained to do.

And Anne Frank died of typhus.

I wonder if any of these kids kept a journal?
