4. My dad loved his leaf blower.

Watch out for the old guys with leaf blowers!

5. Protesters should put smoke bombs down and blow it towards the goons.

Envelope them in a wall of smoke.

Stink bombs too while they're at it.

KY........

12. Adding a few hornets nests

would produce interesting results, too!

13. Yes us retirees have the time. We can bring our jazzy scooters accidental run over some feet too

while were at it. They do not have the ramps to take us on a scooter to another location. Is there chat rooms on AARP?

[Brother Buzz]

14. That, but I have to give a thumbs up to the young bucks employing hockey sticks

to mail them back to the thugs, postage due.

16. The kind plumbers use to test drainage pipes!

Couple boxes of them would provide a wall of purple/blue smoke you could see from space.

Downside: the yahoos trapped within the wall of smoke will probably shoot their projectiles in all directions unknowing of who or what gets hit.

Wait: they already do that.

Or: how about that red dye exploded within stolen money? So colorful, festive almost. You can't get that stuff off!

11. If there's enough people with leaf blowers, maybe they can blow the Gestapo away.

15. ...and Trump's toupee.

18. An Old Guy With a Leaf Blower?

Or a veteran of the same street war started by Nixon in the sixties and seventies? I’m one of those old guys, and I’ll be on the front lines if he sends troops to New Orleans.

And I have a leaf blower and a power chair. It’s time they attack a guy in a wheelchair to really impress his base back home watching on Fox News. I will be streaming it if they do. I’m not just an old guy with yard equipment, I’m also an old guy who knows tech.

Bring it on, I have a mask.

24. Don't mess with grand dads.

We don't like seeing young people abused and are just cranky enough to do what we damned well please.
