You have no enemies, you say? Alas! my friend, the boast is poor; He who has mingled in the fray Of duty, that the brave endure, Must have made foes! If you have none, Small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip, You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip, You’ve never turned the wrong to right, You’ve been a coward in the fight.

Nah, man. I'm pretty fuckin far from OK. ;) I'm glad this video found its way to the fight against the lies, but as usual someone clipped it short so they could use it for conspiracy shit.
I'm very sad for Ashli. That was murder. I'm sad for the clowns that made it a shitshow. The breach was OK, but they should have staged a sit in, not acted the damn fool.
You are exactly correct, I'm in this video.
The Twitter guy is trying to paint this way different, we need the source video because a few moments later, we picked that bin up and pushed it back behind the police line.
We were respectful to the police, and only pushed back when they pushed. Nobody used any weapons against the police. They sure did against us though.
This was shot on the west end of the building, about 4pm.
It was leftover parts from the scaffold construct. This twitter guy is trying to make it look nefarious. It wasn't. I'm in this video.
This was on the west end of the building. There was pushing and shoving, but not much more except from the police, who would try to push us off the stairs, beat us, shoot pepper balls at us and throw tear gas canister. At people doing NOTHING.
But we knew if troublemakers grabbed those pipes, the cops were going to get a LOT more serious and nobody wanted that.
Wherever that video is from, we need the next 5 minutes of it to show that we picked that whole bin up and pushed it back beyond the police line to keep everyone safe.
I was front of the line on the steps at the Capital. There was a lot of violence, and it was all capital police. I was kicked in the chest, maced, hit with a baton. Watched them throw an old man down marble stairs.
Backing the blue is no longer on my list.
Any minute now.
