A long article with many updates and many photos. This is growing. The muslim-marxist alliance is getting bolder.
Look Ma, no hands!
Unbelievable isn’t it. Protesting about issues with education. So they go and start fires at a school.
It’s a great way to protest problems in education. By burning down a school.
Unbelievable.
I know the issue is not the issue. The issue is the revolution.
And then Greta Thunberg has shown up. But she was silent as far as the carbon footprint or environmental impact of setting all those fires.
Any pics of Lefty?
Alternatively: “can someone help me open this jar? Can I get a hand here?”
I didn’t read the article, but I’m assuming the idiot picked up a concussion grenade thrown by riot control police. That whole 3-5 second fuse thing is an estimate.
Give him a hand.
Another French revolution for what they don’t want. Where does that lead?
Our American Revolution was for what we wanted. Clear defined goals.
Know and understand that difference. MAGA.
For example: The goal is good citizens, not deporting everyone.
Ok…hand it over.
Thank you Thing ...
This is not a student protest, just like the riots in 2020 were not george floyd protests. They START non-violent and remain so just long enough so the name sticks, but they soon reveal their true nature, which is anarchistic, anti-western civilization, anti White, anti Christian and revolutionary.
He can use it as street cred and tell everyone he’s high level Hamas and had a pager.
Stumped him. Every day is an IQ test.
Give the man a hand for demonstrating.
At least he can still have a bird in hand that’s worth two in the bush! That’s a plus!
FAFO
Was he wearing hand me downs?
College football Saturday, a great day to celebrate another hand off.
What is it about them that they can’t find other ways to give their lives a more reasonable quality of meaning?
