They traveled from all over the country, to sabatoge a pride parade..in Idaho?

Where else would they Encounter of pride parade lightly attended enough to where they can stomp some skulls open and potentially get relatively little pushback from locals or the police? Besides, my guess is a large percentage of them work from up in that wacko region of the country to begin with and the ones traveling from around the country were just the minority.

It's ok, a cis straight man told me he wasn't worried about anything bad happening at Pride this year.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that only about 2 or 3 weeks ago one of our gay posters stated that he was personally worried and even frightened at the concept of going out to a pride parade for fear of being confronted B thuggish Violet bastards like this looking to do him harm. Also good to see that I am not the only one who remembered the several Usual Suspects being complete bastards per their modus operandi mocking that poster for being such a hysterical and unrealistic

Of course not one of them has anything approaching the scintilla of personal character necessary to acknowledge that they were wrong and s*** like this is real, let alone do so publicly.

Not sure if you're talking about me, but ftr I recall encouraging them to still take the streets rather than ceding them to the right, and then another conversation about personal protection and firearm safety. But my memory could be off. Anyway, those are certainly valid concerns, as this mass arrest proves.

Fter, no I don't believe it was you. The advice you gave was actually quite good and respectful of the posters concerns. There were others in that thread who were proclaiming themselves to be garbage people with their Cavalier "imagine believing this" responses.

No worse than what many antifa scum have done

Okay but two wrongs don't make a right. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, Antifa hasn't had a riot of note in almost 2 years. If they have and I forgot, I would still note that the number and severity of Antifa actions pales in comparison to the number of far right marches, failed attempts at violent actions / terrorist attacks, and of course mass shootings (replacement theory or anti-jew or anti-LGBTQ). "But Antifa" is a cop-out.

But it WOULD be refreshing if people would admit that BLM and Antifa DID commit criminal violence blah blah blah blah words blah blah words

Because of course he did. He just can't help himself.
