My point wasn't "you should do this specific vandalism". My point was "if you're breaking the law, you might as well be smart about it". Damaging an enemy's car in an obvious way, to keep them from getting to work (without putting them at risk), is more effective than burning some random, unaffiliated storefront.
I originally said "slash" because (if you're carrying a sharp thing) it's quicker and easier than "deflate" – but I wasn't taking my own advice. Turning intact tyres into hazardous waste is suboptimal, and property damage that isn't necessary is a failure to de-escalate. (Besides that: carrying a knife seems unnecessarily risky. Which headline is better? "ICE agents defend themselves against knife-wielding activist", or "Possession of lentils now a crime"?)
You have a point. I accept the correction. That you for responding. I admit I am a little more skittish lately as it seems everyone and their mother seem to be.. maybe not waiting exactly, but expecting something to happen.

They are stunned by disbelief or ill-conceived happiness. The former are waiting for the Dems to do something, which won't happen. At most, they'd pull some sort of reverse Jan 6, which will help Trump and/or the neolibs who secretly support similar policies.
BTW, that lentils thing is dumber than the vegetable, the effects would be no better than open riots. No violence, property damage or "sit on the road" type of disruptions can do any good in the current situation. Lawyers, truthful propaganda and organization can help but these are in short supply and "tariffed" extensively.
