    yeonmi-park It is illegal to wear a mask to protect yourself from police chemical weapons. The state forces the citizens to inhale the gases. If you don’t inhale the gases, then they disappear you.

      That happened in Asheville in 2020, they beat up the FNB groups that were distributing water to protestors, then destroyed all the bottled water and arrested people.

      Local nurses union was involved too I believe. They were providing medical aid to people who were gored and mutilated by cops. Then they got attacked by the cops too.

      Link

      One of my buddies at the time was on the front lines and they kicked his teeth in the shot him point blank with a rubber bullet. He was trying to get away too, but they just wanted to enact violence on anyone they could.

    Serious boot coming down shit. Next it’ll be if you’re wearing a mask at all (even not near a protest) you can be arrested for rioting or some bullshit like that, conspiracy, whatever. Probably go after the antifa medics next and say simply if you’re not brawling with police (or our reactionary militia thugs) you wouldn’t need first aid gear and therefore you’re materially enabling protest.

    Trying to think of another example of a country going this hard on people just doing support role stuff that’s not directly weapons or improvised weapons.

      I think the photo shows him sitting in a truck or SUV. Trucks in the US are massive. It is a problem. Trump wants other countries to buy US vehicles but US vehicles are so big that no other country wants them.
