To: Choose Ye This Day

The Daily Mail has this bio:
‘This is not a war zone! These are unarmed people. It doesn’t make you tough to hurt these people!’
Mr Thomas is qualified to make that distinction, having served in the Marine corps from 2003 and did two tours in Iraq, in 2004 and 2006, before being honourably discharged in 2007.

“who ran a small detention facility in Rutbah”

In other words, he was doing police work. How ironic.

I wonder if Thomas understands that the crowd he is supporting is chock full of Marxists and anarchists who think of him as useful idiot for bellowing at the cops, but otherwise call him baby killer and fascist behind his back.

I also wonder if Thomas understand what would happen if the police did just as he suggests, leave, and leave the protesters to their own devices. Break out the marshmallows, cause there will be a fire or thousand.
