    far right and far left plan dueling stupidity

    a couple of 'investigative' journalists have an expose on far right extremism:

    https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/09/23/patriot-coalition-far-right-chat-logs-violence/

    it's a long read, and I'd be inclined to think there are mostly a bunch of internet rambo's posting that won't back up their loony rhetoric

    then, there is this on the plans for the rose city this weekend:

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...id-talk-of-revenge-and-no-bag-limit-on-antifa

    State and City leaders are apparently taking the threat of idiots-with-guns-violence seriously

    all it takes is one insane moron to light the fuse. Hopefully, it rains a lot and spoils the fun

    Set aside a couple square blocks for three hours no cops no TVs and let them have it. In fact provide enough ammo and guns so everyone is happy and we can turn the page on this bullshit.

    Iv been saying that for a while and Delta park would be the perfect place for it. They could sell it to the networks.

    It's long past time to disarm all protesters. I believe in a persons right to own and carry a weapon, with proper permits. But when it comes to protests, nobody should ever be allowed to show up... armed and ready for combat.

    When you have to advertise in 5 states to get a couple thousand people together then you know exactly how weak your cause is.

    Joining the proud boys is basically trying out to be a low level grunt for the Trump brownshirts in the future.

    What's with Republicans selling shit with Presidents names/etc on it?

    I just don't get it. I would never buy anything with Obama or Clinton on it, or fly a big ass flag with his name or logo on it.
