They don't actually believe in God. At a high level, there's 2 categories of religious people. Those who are actually religious and follow those values and I can respect them for it. Then the ones who claim to be religious so they can justify the sins (hatred, war crimes, sex crimes, shoving tent stakes up their ass, etc) that they've committed.

They sure are! Driving like maniacs, pepper-spraying legal observers, beating people and then denying them medical care, intentionally crashing cars, and let’s not forget the woman they murdered!

This is great! I heard they could use some 5gal buckets of water wherever that nazi rally is supposed to be tomorrow

u/Prestigious_Tax_4970 4h ago

5 gallon buckets serve more than one purpose too. 1 for dumping water. Then when they throw tear gas cover it with the same bucket.

This is a genius move, intentionally make your driveway, porch, patio, and stairs slippery with ice to watch those motherfucking ICE terrorists slip and slide all over the place. Just make sure YOU and your loved ones have a good pair of cleats!

don’t quote me on this, but I am fairly certain that qualifies as assault with bodily fluids and you could be charged with felony assault. Im no lawyer and I only did some brief googling but I would do my research before throwing piss balloons at ICE agents.

The simple sabotage field manual would suggest that these things be made to look more like careless mistakes than deliberate actions. But anything that slows them down or denies them resources is beneficial.
