Protestors don’t care. They’re professional agitators being paid to protest.

I see white protestors that look as if they just drove in the 5 miles from Evergreen State college.

They need to start arming police with skateboards to make things fair.

Live by the skateboard. Die by the Smith and Wesson.

Reckun the police officer may have been stunned after being hit by a board.

Over beer?

Its only May! Oh geez.

“Not armed with guns. Attacked cop with their skateboard.”

Is that even on Chris Rock’s list? Don’t hit the officer with a skateboard.

Were they trying or did they steal it?

"Were they trying or did they steal it?"

I believe they had been to the store twice that day, trying to steal on both occasions. In the clip I saw, a clerk or security person confronted them, and the beer was dropped to the floor and shattered.

My first exposure to this was in the Nineties when an extremist environmental group falsely accused our client of destroying a forest (they didn’t and it wasn’t). They flew in a Rent-a-Mob phony protest group from San Francisco (lots of long-haired hippy types who hadn’t taken a bath for a while), complete with professional video camera crew and director to film it all. This is back in the days of “Butterfly” and her friends.

Turned out later it was all an end-of-the-year international fundraising stunt for the group, who needed a new “cause” on which to raise money. This according to an under-cover policeman who had infiltrated the group. The police were concerned the groups was going to become violent, so had one of their undercover folks join up.

I guess it doesn’t matter that the two perps attacked the officer.

Of course not. All that matters is The Narrative. They find a story that can be crammed into The Narrative, and they go with it. Once it falls apart, they simply ignore it, and move on as quickly as possible to any other story that they can force-fit into The Narrative. They're not exactly subtle about it.

“Alleged beer”

That would be Olympia beer, all right.

The downtown area is hippie central for sure - and about as white as it gets except for Russia, maybe. Olympia's black population is around 2%. I've been in that very store many times and these two would have stuck out like Mt. Rainier on a clear day.

Couldn’t they just tour the brewery?
It closed in 2003 but has been purchased by a group with big plans for it. We'll see.

If the whitebread ignoramuses in the photo don’t think that a skateboard can’t be a dangerous weapon, let me hit one of them with it. They’ll be carried to their grave on it.
