We need some federal troops to quietly abduct some of the terrorists.

The bottom picture looks just like a giant ant bed when it’s stepped on. Or termites...

There should be a way to spray a paint/ink/etc. on these POS that is almost impossible to get off for many days, or weeks. Spray it in conjunction with an organic solvent that will allow it to seep into the skin. I’m sure this is possible. Then use this as a way of finding them and prosecuting them.

OR, spray them with the equivalent of skunk spray, that is equally hard to get off. Let them try to show up anywhere else smelling like that.

Release their names and addresses to the public, and their job information. Go after them with vengeance.

“...Wonder what it’ll say now....”

The BeetleJuice demon is most likely very pleased to get some national attention from the west coast crowd and have it focused on Shitcago as the weekend killings were getting rather boring and don’t fit the “agenda”. Needed some new diabolical stuff...so this is it. Yes!!! Very well pleased, indeed!!

You are entirely correct. Normal citizens ought to be deputized by the tens of thousands to tag these bastards with paintball guns, the ammo containing same dyer as used in bank robbery situations.

We are deputized. The Constitution says so.

Who’s going to be first? That is the question.

I would love nothing more than to spray lead into these crowds of animals, but I’m not going down alone.

I am not a martyr. I will take me and mine to a hand-dug cave in the woods before I sacrifice all, only to have all of you on this website say “wow, that guy had the right idea, but glad I’m not him”.

it appears that’s how it started out. The Nahuolin Huhuecoyotl tribe did some dancing around rituals to reclaim ‘Zhigaagoong’ land and that morphed into a Black and Indigenous March, anarchists showed up and it went downhill from there.

If you look to the thumbnail to the right of this pix, you’ll see bicyclists thinking they’re going to use their bikes to block traffic. The picture linked is what those bikes look like minutes later in a tidy pile.

Maybe a lot of little kids are going to get some nice, freshly painted bikes this Christmas?
