A Statue landed on a 'peaceful' protester's head while he was helping to pull it down.
And wear a mask for granny.

Time for an article on how to trash Popular Mechanics offices and publishing.
You know, because "justice".
To: sickoflibs
Well, they already failed there.
At least one person was crushed by the Columbus statue, dead or permanent serious brain damage, I do not know because I couldn't stomach the story.
This is stupid and dangerous.
Which of course means Democrats love it >:(

That guy was seriously screwed up too...
Dang I hate it when felons get hurt.
Popular Mechanics really screwed up here.
There’s no defense of aiding rioters.
I’ve like Popular Mechanics and Popular Science since was a
kid. Looks like it’s time to sunset PM.

RE:”

Two wishes. That PM Goes bankrupt. That the next one who topples a statue gets it on his head and his family sues PM.

I still love my old late 80s issues, especially the cover illustrations.
Apparently the magazine got a dose of soy for the 21st century.

Those were the real mens magazines, as opposed to Argosy and True. Tools, motors, civil engineering and just a bit of science.

Picked through one a few years back at tbe supermarket...almost content free with a lot of white space within the articles...far cry from the early 50s editions with the numerous diy projects, the automotive trouble shooting/repair tips, and interesting articles.

There’s a lot to unpack here. But if this is representative of PM’s writing staff, the next stop is bankruptcy.
