    If throwing a can of paint is the same as throwing a bomb then why not throw bombs? Seems like a dumb thing for a government to promote…

        again it seems like they got their terrorism charge, so it didn’t matter what the person did. i find the argument that we should never do anything they could use to justify their fascism ridiculous, when we are talking about a live demonstration of said fascism being justified with non violent resistance.

        Both outcomes benefit them. Either it scares and subdues everyone or does the exact opposite which gives them even more ‘justification’ for crackdowns.

      This is their way of subduing the populace even more. If politicians and corporations were actually scared to fuck people over, we’d live in a much better world.
