    I've seen two people so far identified in this crap. Jacob Pederson appears to be a St. Paul cop who was breaking windows with a hammer in his ex's pink gas mask.

    This guy Nashville police: Arrest made in historic courthouse fire had a 3 percenter tattoo. So, let's wait for the dust to settle before we paint every white provocateur wearing black as the "antifa" boogeyman.

    It has never been proven that hatred and violence will bring people together. Only in times of a total revolution or the expulsion of an alien force has violence effected massive change on a mega-trend level. Empathy is developed not from violence by the victims but instead by illustrations of violence by the oppressors. This has always been the case.

    What is more effective? Pictures of blacks being lynched or blacks smashing windows and stealing TV's? Pictures of black children being mocked or pictures of
    I don't know who's who. I just feel the headlines are specifically being formulated to provide cover for the looters.

    Well that is not a really desirable place to live in Nashville. He is likely a SJW or Antifa. But I agree- let the dust settle.

    This is Occam's razor stuff. I also have "friends" on Facebook screaming the murder of Floyd is a false flag operation to cover for "Obamagate."

    A cop killed a black man who was already subdued. Black people are in their rights to be supremely frustrated at this. We know who the looters are too. That is the story to me. Liberal bloggers on Yahoo are now focusing on headlines saying there MIGHT be right-wing extremists involved. It's an F'n attempt to deflect. That is why the media is no longer credible.

    Thunderstorms heading our way and should hit in the next hour or two. Some well placed lightning strikes will hopefully take out some fo these losers. They can then protest Mother Nature.

    You really need to make sure in your gleeful haste for a gotcha you do research before you end up looking silly AGAIN
    "Aviral and incendiary social media accusation against a St. Paul, Minnesota, police officer is false, the police department said in a statement. The situation shows how quickly information can spread on social media, ricocheting around the web, especially in a fast-moving situation like the unrest in the Twin Cities.

    Heavy asked police how they know that the umbrella man is not Officer Jacob Pederson, and they said that the officer had an alibi that checked out for that day and time. “We spoke with his supervisor, who was with him. We spoke to his colleagues, who were with him,” said Steve Linders, public information officer for the St. Paul Police Department.

    Police say Pederson is being falsely accused of being the mysterious black-clad, umbrella-carrying man involved in methodically breaking windows at an AutoZone during the protests/riots, which have broken out in Minneapolis/St.Paul. Here’s a video of the umbrella man.

    I'm just saying let's let the dust settle. My guess is it will end up being about 50/50 on the spectrum.

    Your record on guesswork is poor. Dossier, phone taps at Trump Tower, weird claims involving urination, Obama’s timely response to viruses, etc.

    LOL
    Yet the example you gave for your 50/50 was fake.

    A. Dossier has not been disproven.
    B. Phone taps at Trump Tower were on actual Russians.
    C. The urination is in the dossier. I'm not saying it happened. What I'm saying is that if I were a Russian trying to muddie up Trump in 2013 for future blackmail in the I'd get him on a video in Russia with two hookers even if he didn't plan or want to be there. He could have only been in that room long enough to say "I need to GTFO of here". Same with any other civilian "billionaire" in one of my hotels that is fully wired.
    D. 1. Forgive me for utilizing the CDC website. 2. I actually was crediting Bush.

    It may be fake. It may not be. If it's not Jacob Pederson why do you think it's antifa and not some boogaloo or 3%? I'm saying let's let the dust settle before we paint every Caucasian wearing black as antifa. I’m not saying they’re NOT antifa. I’m just sayin’.

    This is interesting:

    this guy in pink is popping up in multiple videos. In this one he appears to be in sync with “not Jacob”. Someone off screen yells that “hey, this guy is a cop”.

    3% tattoo is a biker tattoo referencing what Harley Davidson calls the 3% of Harley riders that live outside the law. Unless all bikers are right-wing guys I don't see the connection.

    More smoke provided by Liberal bloggers:

    Former President Barack Obama puts out guidelines to 'get to work' amid George Floyd protests

    "He also addressed the violence that has broken out at protests in several cities, although the exact root of that violence has been disputed, especially as it differs between locations."

    The problem with Liberalism is the outright lying or the mindless egalitarianism which can be described as a false equivalency between every idea or utterance UNLESS it's said by a Republican.

    You need to get up on your far right lingo. The 3 percenters are a representation of the 3% of people who actually were part of the revolutionary movement in 1776. The kicker for the Patriots has a 3% tattoo that caused a poopstorm recently. They also do the "ok" sign that you see done sardonically in pictures. I think it's now "owning the libs". Three Percenters

    You may find that you align with them as well. :)

    Looks to me like the Left has declaired war on the establishment, time for the establishment to start fighting back with real force.

    Thank god for the 2A, we have the ability to protect ourselves or take a few of those b@stards with us when they come.

    It happened all over the country and there are deeper problems with the police than just the riots.

    The local news here just ran a segment with clips from around the country showing protesters and police officers interacting peacefully. The clips all showed different things, but the common thread was a willingness of each side to listen to others. For example, some of the clips showed officers joining the protests, and others showed offers kneeling/saluting/clapping for the protesters. One showed a group of officers and protesters praying together.

    What I don't know is what percentage of the protests have been peaceful and productive like the ones discussed above, and what percentage have turned violent. My guess is that the number of violent outbreaks has been tiny, and that the media is making it out to be much worse than it is.

    I think large segments of the law-enforcement community agree that there are legitimate issues that need to be explored and discussed. Hopefully, we are able to reach solutions that don't cater to either end of the spectrum.

    Ironically, blacks on the Left are also thanking God for the 2A. The fear of government power and force as justification for the 2A crosses all lines.

    I have two close friends who are retired police officers. They are Hispanic and from my hometown in South Texas. Both UNEQUIVOCALLY believe the perp who killed Floyd should be shown the full force of the law. They did not hesitate or provide excuses. And believe me, they've lived it all.

    That would be false, it was roughly 11.55% of the population were active part in the revolutionary War as soldiers.

    I wrote a college paper about companies who had such a cult following with their customers that that they would get tattoo logos. I concentrated on two companies, Apple and Harley Davidson. The CEO of Harley Davidson called the bikers like Hells Angels and the Banditos Social Misfits and said they make up only 3% of the Harley riders. That created a mass of Harley tattoos with 3% and various forms of Social Misfits.

    You might be right, that it has been taken up by other right wing groups, however if anyone thinks only 3% of Americans took up arms against the British, they are sadly mistaken. The number was closer to 12%.
