Back in law school, I was an intern one summer at the U.S. Attorney’s office in Las Vegas. I was talking to someone there, and the conversation turned to bank robbers. He said they don’t even need to chase them. In almost every case, the robbers do something stupid, like try to buy a Ferrari with cash, or get drunk at a bar and brag about robbing a bank.

I see the parallels here.

Thank God these people are dumb as a rock. It makes the FBI’s job a lot easier.

Sadly I’m pessimistic about the courts really holding individuals responsible, and more important the public holding the groups they belong to responsible.

Well done, Willy. The camo jacket and MAGA hat are textbook antifa. :wink:

Well, you see it really WAS antifa. He did all this as a deep cover so that antifa wouldn’t get blamed - he outed himself as a “trumpist”. It’s a false-false flag thing.

You’ve really got to keep up.

“You see, evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction. It is ultimately negative, and therefore encompasses its downfall even at its moments of apparent triumph. No matter how grandiose, how well-planned, how apparently foolproof of an evil plan, the inherent sinfulness will by definition rebound upon its instigators. No matter how apparently successful it may seem upon the way, at the end it will wreck itself. It will founder upon the rocks of iniquity and sink headfirst to vanish without trace into the seas of oblivion.”

“I saw ANTIFA being bused in and escorted by the police.”

“I tested a theory.” Ahh, the anti-scientific method. I think I will dub him, the “Pee Hacker”.

So if ANTIFA was being escorted by Police, I bet the Capitol Police were REALLY confused when “ANTIFA” (in MAGA hats) started attacking them.

Also, why were police so anti-ANTIFA during BLM protests, but are helping out ANTIFA here?

It’s almost like someone didn’t stop to think about any of this. Nah.

Lol at someone communicating digitally about how they will dress in all black and how that will allow them to “get away with anything” while forgetting that the people they are trying to dress like would never communicate digitally about their activities, i.e. just dressing in all black is not in and of itself a get away with anything strategy.

“I saw ANTIFA being bussed in and escorted by the police.”

Er, dude, those guys getting off the bus, all dressed in black, aren’t Antifa.

How did he know that they weren’t other Qanon and MAGA supporters dressed up as Antifa?

Oh, wait. It’s ANTIFA. The capitalisation makes all the difference, if the conspiracy theorists are to be believed. Should we be putting gold fringes on our red and black flags now, to help avoid confusion between the two?

Wait… I think he is confusing antifa with paintballers…

The whole point of dressing in black is that most people will have black clothes that would help them to become part of an anonymous crowd.

Before that some groups used to wear white overalls, but they are less common in peoples wardrobes.

He’s actually ANTIFA posing as a Trumper posing as ANTIFA. Maybe throw a few dozen more layers on there just to be sure. Also, secretly a lizard person.
