Demonstrators in Washington, D.C., showed up in front of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos’s house on Sunday, with a mock guillotine and a sign that read “support our poor communities not our wealthy men.”

In an announcement about the march, the activists called for Amazon to be abolished.

abolish the present / reconstruct our future @AbolishTheNow

It's an uprising, and we're taking it to our neighbor @JeffBezos' house #dcprotest View image on Twitter 1,006 12:53 PM - Jun 27, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy

“Amazon works directly with police to surveil us, stoking racist fears in the name of profit. Doubling down on their union busting and mistreatment of workers, Amazon fired and racially slandered labor organizer Chris Smalls. Join us to tell Jeff Bezos enough is enough!” the flyer said. “End the abuse and profiteering. Abolish the police, the prisons, and Amazon.”

Yeah, but Bezos has the deepest pockets.

You can't really fund this kind of rebellion on shaking down Bernadette's Beauty Parlor. Especially after you burn it down.

Is a guillotine sort of like on overhead door pull that looks like a little noose at the NASCAR buildings?

By the way, some radio show callers said the word is that CHOP is reminiscent of the French Revolution chop of heads going into baskets. GOP and Deplorable heads this time, God forbid.

The most surprised victims of a revolution are usually the supporters.

How is this any less threatening than finding a “noose” in a park or garage?

Imagine if right wing protestors did this outside Obama or Al Sharptons house. How would big media be reacting?

Media hell. The Highway Patrol would have been busting them some conservative heads with batons. IOW ‘violent right wing white supremacists’ as opposed to peaceful PROtestors airing their grievances.
