A white woman believed to have set fire to two cop cars during protests in Philadelphia has been arrested after investigators traced her shirt to an Etsy page, ultimately leading to the woman's social media accounts. Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal, 33, faces two counts of felony arson for her role in setting ablaze two Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) vehicles 'following peaceful protests' on May 30.

What I do think is interesting is that people think these tattoos are so cool and so unique, and guess what, that makes them perfect identifiers, too! Ditto for unique T-shirts.

$25 and time served.

Mark my words.

And community service. She'll work for ACORN or the new equivalent or a liberal activist group.

The tattoos are just as hard to take off as your skin.

However, tattoos can be covered up for some of them.

Poshmark is for selling high end apparel and accessories. You know, the shit antifa fights against.
