A crude spear made by fastening a knife to the front of a closed umbrella was found following a George Floyd protest in Portland, Oregon, according to city cops.
“Public safety advisory: This umbrella converted to a weapon was recovered after last night’s demonstration downtown,” the Portland Police Department wrote in a tweet late Sunday, along with a photo of the improvised bayonet.

What? Are they puzzled?
"Milk shakes" are made with concrete powder, to blind with caustic.
Plastic sign poles are filled with plaster, to give them heft, or are sections of oak banister, like a night stick.
Other pvc pipes are cut on a bias, to make a spear, and wrapped with cardboard to hide the point.
You can buy super bright LED flash lights, that will sear your retinas at close range. Very popular with Communist kids.
Plastic water bottles, frozen solid. Like getting hit with a rock, in the face.
The old standby of bear spray, and baggies filled with feces.
Antifa wants to hurt. Doesn't EVERYONE take these to "protests"?

There’s writing on it. Too bad they didn’t photograph it open.

This umbrella converted to a weapon was recovered after last night’s demonstration downtown ... and you can make one, too!

Bad luck to stab someone with it indoors. And also don't operate it outside in a thunderstorm...the result might be "electrifying."

Probably not relevant , like the beer label on a Molotov cocktail
