The supply of tear gas, pepper balls/spray and rubber bullets available to

Drumpf's Gestapo cannot possibly be infinite and the stuff must have a logistics chain. Would it not be easier to tie the stuff up on loading docks than to use leaf blowers and shields after it's delivered?

Just asking.

Last night, someone deployed commercial grade fireworks. It was spectacular, and very expensive. VERY expensive stuff skittering around the feet of the goons.

For some protesters, especially those who grew up as gamers, the interaction is compelling because of the tactics.

Here, we have a rag tag bunch of Portland-weird improvisationists determined to rattle the mercenaries. It's honestly very entertaining to observe from the comfort of my home in the wee hours. The mercenaries are way outclassed. Asymmetric protest.

I bet the fn Pig has way more inventory of gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets than PPE.

But might need to make the delay happen at the manufacturer. They may have armed guards accompany the truckers. I have hauled a few government loads and depending on what the cargo is, you might have GI joe in the jump seat for a spell.
