what does this "protestor" have in his pocket?

[grasswire]

Big bulge, there.

[TexasProgresive]

1. A banana or he's just happy to see ya! n/t

[gratuitous]

2. My guess

His Koch Brothers-issued "get out of jail free" pass. I've seen his ilk so many times over the years. The one who instigates a violent altercation, giving law enforcement an excuse to break out the batons, truncheons and nightsticks, then disappears with a smile behind his uniformed buddies as they wade into the crowd.

7. I get that same idea

... from his short haircut. Just a thought, but I have been wrong before.

[eShirl]

3. wallet

[Hosnon]

6. That could very well be it. I put mine in my front pocket when I'm gonna be in a large crowd.

E.g., protest, concert.

[NightWatcher]

4. It's cause the guard is tweaking his nip

[tridim]

5. Torgo's brother?

[frogmarch]

8. His knee.

His pants are riding very low.

[MineralMan]

9. Looks like a cop to me.

White sidewalls and all.

[Rex]

10. My first thought too or military.

[XemaSab]

11. Orchitis?

:shrug:

12. Pam Gellar accused protestors of putting dog poo in their pockets to make police uncomfortable to

search them. So if this guy is indeed a conservative operative paid by Breitbart or someone like that to cause trouble/agitate it could very well be poop.

This guy looks to "Vin Diesel" to be involved with OWS.

[eShirl]

13. or maybe he's legit and the idea he's a conservative operative has been deftly planted now

There are young vets involved with OWS. We don't know who this guy is.

15. The guy beside him is the admitted agent provocateur -- the one who is an

assistant editor for a right-wing rag.

[FarCenter]

16. So the two guys behind them are the film crew?

Can't see what the photographer has in his hands, but I'd bet it's a video camera, since the guy in the rear has the microphone.

[Erose999]

17. As has already been said, he's in close proximity to an ADMITTED agent provacatuer. And the whole

thing just reeks of staging. Notice how this guy is apart from the other protestors. Its just him, the other guy who we KNOW is an agent provacatuer, the cops, and the camera men.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. The fact that he seems to be putting on a show for the "American Spectator" dude

who also seems to be taking pictures... leads me to think mr. baggypantsmilitarycut is a big, droopy-assed phony.

[FarCenter]

14. Looks like a wallet

Too many credit cards?

The guy behind him has a camera with a long lens. Looks expensive.

The guy behind him has a microphone that looks commercial grade.

[Earth_First]

19. Not sure, but the 28-300 2.8 L in the background... :drool: n/t

[grasswire]

20. what's the tab on something like that? n/t

[grasswire]

21. can you please tell me more about that camera?

Canon? What?

[Earth_First]

22. It's tough to tell exactly which model it is, but I'd guess that's a 'Mark series' at least...

As for the lens, you're probably talking the $2500 range.

[Politicalboi]

23. Donut

He might get hungry, so I think it's a donut.
