Just look what this sorry excuse of a person has around his neck when he is apprehended.

Iā€™m not being flippant and am probably missing the obvious, but I cannot figure out what a tin foil wrapped roll of toilet paper on a chain is ammosexual cosplay for. Ball and chain? ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

People were calling the police for a half hour before the shooting, but they didnā€™t come until afterwards. And tear gassed the crowd when they got there.

I read down a rabbit hole that the authorities were heard referring to this militiaā€”make that vigilantesā€”as ā€œarmed friendliesā€ on their radio transmissions. Canā€™t find it again, so canā€™t cite a verification.

Also, note the lack of pig piles and knees on necks, but they look more like military than police, so thereā€™s that.

Iā€™ve seen this in the news about German anti-lockdown protests, but also already IRL before seeing it in the media. Mostly balls rolled from aluminium foil on a string, sometimes also toilet paper on a string, in this case both combined, in some cases the literal tin foil hat.

tā€™s a call sign. Itā€™s ā€œironicā€ or ā€œcleverā€ and appeals to various backgrounds - full nutjob CT arseholes as well as concerned citizens who have a sense of humour and not the sense to distance themselves from those who try to hijack any protest to push their neo-fascists agenda.

Bottom line: it is trolling. Fuck this asshats.
