These ties made out of rebar were constructed by some members of the group who gathered outside of East Precinct tonight. The ties were meant to pop police vehicle tires. Several of the ties were thrown in the street and police vehicles ran them over, causing damage to tires. pic.twitter.com/hxkvpYVMvO

Homemade rebar caltrops:

Let me tell you about the South.  It’s filled with truck guys, and we truck guys like our tires.

These are what I have on my truck:

The Toyos are quite popular on a number of the lifted Super Duties and other HD trucks around here.

Yeah… big truck tires aren’t cheap.  I’m running on stock rims, but a lot of the lifted guys run aftermarket rims which double the price (or more).

I expect that just like how Antifa started using the green lasers as a blinding weapon against law enforcement, then quickly turned them on regular citizens, I expect that these caltrops are very quickly going to be used as part of the road blocking tactics used on citizen motorists to keep them from driving through protesters.

When that happens and some guy in his lifted F-250 has $3,000 in tires and rims ruined by some Antifa caltrops, you know what is going to happen?

The guys that killed John Wick’s puppy got off easier, I can guarantee it.

Key moments from the Indy10 Black Lives Matter march in Indianapolis on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020, demanding justice for Dreasjon Reed and McHale Rose, two Black men fatally shot by Indianapolis police officers.

Since we don’t have what happened prior to the guns being drawn, I cannot say if the “peaceful protesters” are just being dicks with guns (probably) or they had cause (doubtfully.) The two gun men are very lucky the driver decided to de-escalate, both of the standing in front of the truck was not a sound tactical maneuver.

Hat Tip to Dano

It was a thing when Steven Spielberg went back and removed the guns from E.T.

Some guy went and did the reverse and added guns to the first Harry Potter movie.

The guy gives some long explanation how this is about the danger of guns and bullshit, “a sobering point about gun violence,” whatever.

He may have wanted it to be an anti-gun thing but in reality it is the most awesome Harry Potter fan fiction ever.

I love that Harry Potter’s gun, the one that fits him best, is a 1911A1.

Hell yeah.

I just watched The Wild Geese again and I realized it is almost the proper woke movie because it checks several important BLM and leftist boxes.

It has good Whites, Blacks, Jews blacks and even an openly gay guy who is the team’s medic. There is a White Rhodesian who is openly racist, yet his heart and mind change by the end of the movie thanks to the spiritual ministrations of a black man. They go up against the Mafia and a fascist Dictator by rescuing a democratic leader falsely imprisoned by another fascist dictator. And they even have an secretive international banker to fund their operation.

It does not get any more woke than that.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder,” Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

Remember the that we were told Federal Officers were the cause of the “Peaceful demonstrations” by the “Antifa Myth” and that as soon as the Trump Goons were gone from the Federal Courthouse, it all would be, Peace, Kumbaya and free kombucha.  But the good guys in black hoodies tried to bur local cops alive inside the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct building. I wonder why the prediction failed.

“Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are,” he said. “You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign.

First: Yes, you are right and that is why so many of us have simply said “Let Portland burn.”

Second: So your real condemnation is not because police officers could be hurt or killed in the fire, but because it is bad optics and how will they play in the re-election? Come November 4th, Portland LEOs can be getting an ISIS fire cage treatment and you would not care since the election is over?

Nice to know.
