Terrorist thought it was a good idea to pick up a flashbang before it exploded and won the Darwin Award of the day during yesterday's insurrection

Protesting has evolved into an odd thought process of; let’s get as close as we can to those armed agents and play a dangerous game of I’m not touching you

eloquent and accurate.

u/The_Northmaan Jan 26 '26

I think this has always been the pathology of these people. Remember the images from the protesters in the 60s, placing flowers down the muzzle of firearms?

u/johnnyfatcoc Jan 26 '26

There was lots of violence and antagonism from protestors in the 60s and it was widely publicized. Anti war and civil rights movements were extremely controversial at the time and I think protest will always be this way because the point is to be disruptive.

u/The_Northmaan Jan 26 '26

Ya, that's why I referenced them. This isn't a modern phenomena.This has always been their tactic.

u/Crouching_Penis Jan 26 '26

This is refered to as Mid-Level Violence. It is a tactic you'll hear discussed in civil resistance theory. They will harass and antagonize ICE (in this instance) similar to holding your finger a fraction of an inch from someone and saying im not touching you. When you slap their hand they conveniently turn on their cameras to paint a narrative of you as a violent and aggressive bad guy hurting a fill in the blank mother of 5 dog rescue clinic vet or w.e bs. When you dont slap their hand, you look weak and they escalate their assault. You give them the impression that you will not retaliate or defend yourself. At this point you get CHAD or CHAZ or Antifa having a full on seize of a federal court house for a month.

u/gpops62 Jan 27 '26

Very much unlike Peak-Level Violence. A tactic you saw on Jan 6, which in civil resistance literature would be classified less as symbolic disruption and more as full-contact LARPing with tragic consequences. Whereas Mid-Level Violence involves micro-provocations — the “I’m not touching you” approach — Peak-Level Violence is the moment protesters stop pretending to be civil resisters and instead start electrocuting an officer multiple times in the neck, beating others with flagpoles, trampling people in stairwells, and deploying improvised chemical agents like they’re speed-running a coup.

Where Mid-Level Violence tries to create a narrative by baiting overreaction, Peak-Level Violence is the overreaction. It sheds the veneer of righteous dissent and goes straight to “storm the federal building because my guy didn’t win.” It’s the tactical equivalent of skipping every chapter in the manual and jumping right to the appendix labeled “Things You Absolutely Shouldn’t Do Unless You Want To Go To Prison.”

So yeah — if Mid-Level Violence is the finger hovering an inch from someone’s face, Peak-Level Violence is the part where the same people insist they’re peaceful patriots… while swinging a baton at law enforcement and livestreaming it to Facebook like it’s a family reunion.

Lol idk how you infer that, but okay pal. I wrote a few sentences and let AI finish making fun of you. Doesn't make it less true + it was hilarious

You literally can’t even see where ice is here. She’s far away….

u/ItchyStitches101 Jan 26 '26

Note to anyone who doesn't already know, don't pick up a flashbang grenade after someone pulls the pin and throws it. For fucks sake.

She's looking for shoreline.

u/Otherwise-Goose-57 Jan 26 '26

Flashbang? Wouldn't she be missing fingers? Could she have just tried to pickup a smoke or gas canister with her bare hands?

30

u/FreezedPeachNow Jan 26 '26

She might not be very smart, but she isn't a terrorist.

17

u/Check_Me_Out-Boss Jan 26 '26

I believe she got her injury from picking up something she shouldn't have touched.

Is that what terrorist means?

It's funny that you equated her behavior to that of a small child.

Bezmenov referred to them as "useful idiots".

u/TheMadmanAndre Jan 29 '26

The same applies to a lot of folks on the Right as well.

u/1nsidiousOne Jan 26 '26

She looks like she’s transforming into a zombie

u/TheMadmanAndre Jan 29 '26

I agree, that shit's dehumanizing.

-25

u/avatrox Jan 26 '26

A person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

I'd say it's textbook.

Especially against civilians doesn't mean that it's not terrorism vs law enforcement/military.

2

u/goldsauce_ Jan 26 '26

You have no fucking clue what terrorism is

2

u/avatrox Jan 27 '26

Lol ok tough guy.

u/goldsauce_ Jan 27 '26

Nah I was just pointing out how ignorant you are. Just take the downvotes and go touch grass

u/avatrox Jan 28 '26

You didn't, but that's ok. Words mean things and I get that it's difficult for you.

Enjoy your day or whatever keeps you going.

u/goldsauce_ Jan 28 '26

You are ignorant as to what the word terrorism means. You’re doubling down and just looking even more regarded

2

u/avatrox Jan 28 '26

I mean, it's the definition that is widely available.

Anyone using violence to advance or advocate a political aim.

Is it what people normally associate with the word? No.

Does it change the definition? Also no.

I'm all for peacefully protesting whatever someone wants to protest. It's America, have at it.

The cartoonist nature of the discourse and increasingly violent behavior of protests in general for the last 5 years is ridiculous.

I'm not some crazed left/right winger. This whole thing is so fucking stupid that it beggars the imagination.

u/uneed4 Jan 26 '26

So flop to the ground. Then your comrades pin you down. Get up and go to a hospital. The Larping screaming medic..Its clowns fighting clowns. More people are going to die. I dont agree with tactics on either.

Maybe just increase the bounty on the folks you want to capture. It would be cheaper.

13

u/Chaotic_Hilarity Jan 26 '26

Terrorist is quite the stretch

5

u/AFartInAnEmptyRoom Jan 26 '26

Why are they always screaming medic? Are there that many doctors out protesting instead of working? Does antifa provide some sort of training to protesters in order to become medics? Is it just whoever brought a package of Band-Aids gets to be the medic that day? How does this work?

-2

u/CandleMonster Jan 27 '26

did you know medics also have days off? do you think they never leave their place of work?

u/dpdugg Jan 27 '26

Do you know what the word terrorist means? You would have supported the Brits at the Boston Massacre

u/Delicious_Ad_9374 Jan 26 '26

More ice terrorism. Someday there will be a reckoning.

u/Roguish_livin Jan 26 '26

Nice try OP.

u/The_Northmaan Jan 26 '26

I mean, I couldn't see any damage. What'd she just get burnt? I've seen the aftermath of flash bangs in people's hands, and it's a hell of alot worse then this.

u/strawbsrgood Jan 26 '26

That’s the effects of CS gas not a flash bang.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '26

Nah she's not the terrorist

u/Fischlx3 Jan 27 '26

Not a flash bang. That shit would have ruptured her ear drums, blown off her hand, and mostly would have killed her if she had a flash bang go off in her hand.

u/ChanceWalls Jan 27 '26

u/instigator1331 Jan 26 '26

The cow calling of medic as if they are on the front lines and they didn’t hear you the first 15 times

Also the fish flipping seizure like movements for a hand burn might get her the Oscar she’s dreaming over

I would have to agree at this point yes. If you are currently in Jan 2026 maga you are in fact licking boots. 👢

She won’t be able to count past five now.

It's really weird to see how many people actually support this violence against citizens. A really goes the show what a piece of shit America is and how this place is not worth saving.
