LAPD Surveilled Gaza Protests Using This Social Media Tool

i would argue the people in these protests are likely the people committing street crime. just like the people that have been busted damaging tesla vehicles all so far have had priors except for one in new york that was some middle class guy. they claim they are fighting some nazi boogie man, but ended up being the type of person the average law abiding citizen fears to come in contact with.

You make a really good point! The average law abiding citizen is much more afraid of petty crime against Elon Musk, a man who does the Nazi salute, than they are about losing their constitutional rights. That is how we wound up with a militarized police force in the first place, with the average person being more afraid of terrorism than encroaching totalitarianism.

i already stated this, the people busted on video had priors, they are damaging persons property(a crime, in case you forgot) in protest to musk.

it all reminds me of the rittenhouse situation where the three people shot were by chance(or highly likely depending on your lens)all were criminals: 1. sexual misconduct with minor(a child rapist) 2. history of domestic violence and disorderly conduct, 3. intoxicated use of a firearm and pointing a weapon at someone claiming outside of court on more liberal tv commentary he didn't, and in court that he did(so hes a liar and a coward).

No, I'm not mad, I just don't see the link between the Gaza protestors (who I don't particularly support) and the vandals torching Teslas. And now you are mentioning Kyle Rittenhouse, which seems like another canard.

I don't see any evidence between those things, I'm wondering if you have any or if you just think all protesters are criminals?

Do you hold the same contempt for the people that initially protested against the King of England?.. what a silly argument.

Remember that actual literal swastika-wearing nazis were average law abiding citizens. If nazis are scared to come in contact with you you're doing well.
