Hey, JP - That's a great outfit. How much do clothes cost in The Matrix?

On a serious note:

Just another example of these far right asshats being violent, and the protesters they're trying to attack showing restraint and peacefully detaining them.

Whatever thing that guy had, it looks like a real gun. He's lucky he didn't get capped as soon as he started firing it.

began firing several shots that sounded like compressed-air.

EPD said that the weapon was a “splatter ball gun.”

OK...? And cops shoot black teenagers for holding cans of Arizona Iced Tea, claiming they thought it was a firearm.

This dude had a literal replica of a firearm. He brandished it like a firearm, and threatened peaceful protestors. Whether or not the gun was real isn't super relevant at this point.

Any bystander would have been justified in lighting that dude up the second that gun was visible. For example, if the camera was a gun it'd be privileged self defense and defense of others.

I googled "splatter ball gun" and everything looked like a toy. This looked either like a real firearm, a replica or a replica airsoft gun. Either way, it looks real without a close inspection.

Another prime specimen of the master race.

Cool truck too.

Is he wearing his Morphious Halloween costume? Oh well… one less trump voter.

You're assuming they convict him of a crime sufficient to strip his voting rights. Frankly, I'm surprised they even arrested him after they got the mask off and saw he was white.

the woman in the front seat just seems totally unbothered by what's happening around her, how high is she?

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

There is no way for a person to discern that the weapon he is holding is not a real firearm.

This guy is going to jail.

Also surprised that Mr. Terrorist waited for an Israel/Palestine war protest to trigger him, of ll things.
