The false equivalency in that article is very strong. If there was crowdfunding to support someone going to shoot someone, that’s one thing. That would be money to fund a crime. But money to bail out an accused shooter is completely legal. Now, if someone wants to start crowdfunding to support bailing out people arrested for their crimes during the protest, I doubt that would be shut down. People donated to Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense without problem. But whatever, conservative propaganda isn’t supposed to be fair and logical. If it was, it wouldn’t work. ---

I managed to see it earlier, but I didn’t commit it to memory. - ANAICR, Blondie wants to rent a yacht, and the woman behind the counter tells her there aren’t any. - Blondie gets upset and asks to speak with the manager. - The brunette turns to her left while crouching down out of sight, then reappears (standing up) while completing her 360° spin. She says, ‘How may I help you?’ - Blondie is like, ‘WHAT THE F\_\_K WAS THAT?’ - The brunette is the manager. She tells Blondie they don’t have any yachts to rent. - Blondie points out the window asking about all of the yachts. - The Manager tells her those aren’t for rent, because they’re all privately owned. - Blondie gets more upset and turns around to leave, sweeping magazines off the counter and onto the floor. - Blondie sees she is being recorded. She tells the person recording her she can’t do that because it’s a violation of her ‘HIPAA law’. As the recording ends, the person recording seems to be trying to keep Blondie from snatching her phone. ---

I just googled for it, it was worth it. The little spin was great. I’d like to think that just after what we saw, the camera person says “Sorry, you have _HIPPO_ rights? That makes sense…” And runs.
