To: simon says what

I think I see three different B&W prefab signs with a stylized black clenched fist and “Defend Worker’s Rights” as the text I can read in the marching crowd’s vantage point video of the ramming perp car. They remind me of, at least, similar signs at many leftie protests. The still shot down thread appears to have someone dressed in black like antifa, including a black hoodie, right in front of the perp car. Some of the other signs and flags being carried by the perp car’s targeted crowd may be recognizable to other creepers. I’m certainly not identifying with the perp car and its unknown driver. But I strongly suspect I wouldn’t identify with the positions taken by these allegedly “counter demonstrators” were I sure of them. And it is certainly not a given that “counter-counter” demonstrators, as the perp car appears to represent, have to be the same as the original demonstrators. We should be careful to not associate blame with anyone beyond the perps themselves until more is known. The MSM should be similarly careful, but I have higher expectations of us Freepers than of the MSM.

Hear hear. I want to know the truth about what happened: who were the original demonstrators, how many of them were there, what were they actually protesting, and did they break any laws, such as obstructing traffic, attacking people, or damaging property. Then I want the same questions answered about the "counterprotestors." I also want to know if any organizations were providing financial or logistical support to either side. THEN I'll make my judgments.
