Apparently the irony of wearing a t-shirt for a band named after Hitler's sex slaves is an alien concept to this agit prop protester. "End Every War" indeed.

Who was that masked man? Why in the world would you protest with a mask on. Is it that these people do not really have that much inspiration for their cause? Or are they criminals intent on committing a crime and with the mask on it is harder to identify them?

No wonder they get hit with pepper spray. Dumb*ss.

I’d love to change the world. But I don’t know what to do.

So I leave it up to you.

Yep. Mostly. There are some fringe dupes/soccer moms and some first semester know-it-all college freshman, and some union head-busters, but yeah, most are SOROS "anarchists."

Is a water eyebath the recommended antitode to pepper spray?

If you EAT a lot of pepper, water just spreads the oils around.

You are recommended to eat ice cream. So wouldn’t a milk bath be better? It has to do with the way your body takes that oil.

I suppose you could even put a scoop of eye cream on your eye.

And if anyone has pictures of protesters laying on the ground with scoops of ice cream on their eyes, I want to see them!

I won’t be happy until a sh*tload of these hippies catch a hickory shampoo and get dragged off to the makeshift gulag for a good three day rest.

That would really be a ‘68 kind of thing...
