    Because they want people to randomly attack authority figures. That will give them the justification to crack down HARD. The next few years will be rough.

      Two people just got 50 years in prison as a mandatory minimum for allegedly slashing tires and setting off fireworks.

      They’re already cracking down hard. We’re past the justification part.

        You think this is cracking down hard? This is foreplay to them. Cracking down hard is when all pretext is gone and they start openly killing and jailing their political enemies and stripping them of their rights. This is them trying to get their opponents to take the bait and give them flimsy justification to do anything they want.

          Well be good, don’t resist and lick them boots clean and maybe they won’t hurt you. Lots of us aren’t going to do it.

      Honestly if it’s truly random I suspect it’d actually be hard for them to justify as easily compared to if it happened at a protest. If some ICE agent gets shanked and their wallet jacked while they’re smoking outside a hotel or something it’d be hard to justify it since that appears to just be pure crackhead behavior.
