What a Euro-derp way of saying police fired into the crowd with live ammo.

“I’ve been to those three countries. Europe is self destructing on purpose.”

After the mass killings of WW1 and WW2, the elites there concluded that there was no redemption for Europeans, so they embarked on their own ‘Final Solution’ to what they considered to be the problem - Whites. So now we are seeing it get played out, with the Great Replacement.

Obviously not much different here, although we’re still allowed to try to fight it...at least until a few more Democrats in the Senate can take over some seats from RINOs. Once that happens, then it’s the same ‘final solution’ for Whites in the US.

I am now reading that two demonstrators were wounded by the police when they opened fire.

Other injuries very chaotic anarchic situation the militants show up and provoke police.

They discredit non-violent protest.

These anarchists shut down the peaceful protests serve the interest of the governments in vaccine coercion and so on.

Who are they ultimately working for who do they serve?
