Philadelphia protests turning violent; what's happening in your AOR?

[ubet]

They weren’t really “our side”; there were a lot of far-right types there that should NOT be considered “the enemy of my enemy” (Proud Boys, etc.). Second, we’re not going to be fighting ancient line battles, so the fact that they have perfected their own “crowd control” tactics doesn’t mean much. Start training for modern warfare and it won’t matter that they can go toe to toe with a Roman century.

Yep that’s it, keep underestimating your enemy. I’m not saying what they’re doing would work in a gunfight. What I’m saying is they’re learning, adapting and communicating. They’re working together.

Caltrops would bring that to a grinding halt.

A lot would. But they’re learning and adapting.

I'm not underestimating them. I'm saying don't take this video as a bellwether of how a full scale war against them would go. Two groups of idiots clashed, and one was better prepared for the rioting that they've been doing for months. It's not a surprise.

We'll know it's getting real when one side breaks out the trebuchet ....

Stop calling them protestors unless they're actually protesting. If they're burning, smashing, graffiti-ing, looting then they're not protestors

They are insurgents. This is an insurgency.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how it's possible that things have become this divided without any major armed confrontations sparking as a result. We've been riding that fence for months. I can't imagine how much longer we have till we come to a Concord level event.

Not surprised at all. No one actually wants to go to prison or to kill anyone. What are you going to do, shoot into a crowd? Shoot at rioters in the business district? What's the law of shooting someone across the street whos holding a Molotov cocktail?

I admit I don't follow all these groups. I just know the basics....Anyifa, BLM, KKK...etc... But since when were the Proud Boys considered far right?

I saw it trending on Twitter last night and the left complaining about "the cops weren't doing anything to stop the racist idiots from assaulting us!"

Ironic to say the least...

Since even their super conservative, abrasive, agitator of a founder left and distanced himself from them because they were getting so nutty. They're also very anti-woman. Basically, it's a bunch of Neo-Nazi incels. I know that the left lists any group that's right of Mao as "fascist" but there seems to be a decent amount of truth to that with the Proud Boys.
