Some Protests Against Police Brutality Take a More Confrontational Approach
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 21, 2020 | Nellie Bowles

PORTLAND, Ore. — Terrance Moses was watching protesters against police brutality march down his quiet residential street one recent evening when some in the group of a few hundred suddenly stopped and started yelling. Moses was initially not sure what the protesters were upset about, but as he got closer, he saw it: His neighbors had an American flag on display.

Go look at the link I posted. Note the penetration of 00 vs #4 at point blank range as well as dispersion. Empirical testing.

There will be massive bloodshed no matter how the election comes out. They are making it unavoidable.

00 Buck is still plentiful in some online retailers and at my local Walmarts in Dallas.

I just bought a 250 box of Estate 00 on gunbroker while you were posting this.

Yup. Obviously you can still get it, though it is not quite as easily found as it was back in March.

From the article:

One night this month, there were two protests promoted on the Black Lives Matter Portland Events page: a “nonviolent protest” in the city center and “an autonomously organized direct action march.”
No one appeared to be at the city center protest. But around 200 people were at the other event.
They gathered in an unlit park in a residential neighborhood around 8 p.m. Everyone wore black, including some protesters who had on body armor and motorcycle helmets. They hastily set up picnic tables and supply booths in the dark, using cellphones for light to showcase their goods. There was a food table overflowing with protein bars and Monster energy drinks.
A small free literature selection was set up on the grass and overseen by three people in ski masks. It was a popular offering, and people crowded around, craning to see the pamphlets.
Titles included “Why Break Windows”; “I Want To Kill Cops Until I’m Dead”; “Piece Now, Peace Later: An Anarchist Introduction to Firearms”; “In Defense of Smashing Cameras”; and “Three-Way Fight: Revolutionary Anti-Fascism and Armed Self Defense.”

You’ve been warned

Because groin protection is a thing in modern armor. It's standard issue for US Marines these days, for example, and of course there's lots of aftermarket options.

The Army's got a new groin and pelvic protection system for their paratroopers: https://www.military.com/kitup/2019/03/07/army-issue-latest-armored-groin-protection-paratroopers.html

In fact, it’s so standard issue for the Marines that the groin protection panels are on the surplus market.

Thanks, and while it might be standard issue for Marines, I don't think most Anita/blm folks are so equipped.

One of the antifa turds is without a testicle after being shot by rubber less than Lethal rounds.

Correct, but there have been Antifa personnel seen running around in full tactical rigs with top of the line body armor. More than a few of them, and yes, with groin protection.

Also worth noting that there are currently groin protection systems that can be worn *under* clothing that are almost equally protective. Same with the rest of the types of body armor; it costs more, but Antifa appears to be well funded.

Give me a sec and I’ll go dig up that pic another member posted.

Every time the Maoists throw bricks and firebombs at cop cars and court houses they give the President another TV ad.

Possibly, but there’s plenty of non-plant Antifa that have been seen as least as well equipped.

Maybe that's the real reason they dubbed 2020 The Year of Decision.

Please remember the old saying:

Be sure you know who’s coming into your yard before you shoot them.

Or now it’s “breaking into your house.” That’s up to them.
