Message sent and received: "Distrust all authority. Everything is bait. Crimes are made up on the spot. You are alone. The state is illegitimate."

Interesting how now they are so concerned about the cops. Also the fires set to the federal buildings is ok but the Capitol is a symbol of democracy. Honestly they don’t care when normal people have their stuff burned down but make them uncomfortable and it’s worst than 9/11

Going to the nation's capitol to assemble and protest grievances. Could there be a more beautiful exercise of democracy?
