    Every single one of those fuckers calling it a riot had either pictures of ice assaulting people with clubs, rubber jacketed metal bullets and tear gas, or the exact same picture of one singular car on fire. I have to wonder if it was ice that set the car on fire for the photo op.

      The fachist… I mean, the cops hate Wemo cars. They can’t arrest the driver when they are pissed. Would not put it past them to light them on fire.

      I think the waymo cars were a single person’s thing, and there was some rock throwing at cops, and graffiti on everything, but in any large group you’ll have a handful of people like that. It’s far from a riot, I’ve seen people so worse after a sporting event.

      No, as always its probably media representation, which isn’t always to propagandize (although Fox certainly is); dramatic events get better ratings. People calling it riots are watching network TV news, ugh.
