Link says he’s charged with petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor in USA. IDK where the destruction of property charges land.

He’s receiving donations for his defense from across the country.

    I didn’t call it useless, you did. It will be useful for about a week until they get replaced. That same guy could’ve instead used his military status to gather support and maybe run for mayor or governor in the future and actually make an impact, but sure, keep resisting.

      Hear Ye Hear Ye! Tekato has now proclaimed that electoral politics is the only acceptable pathway to change! All radical politics is wasted effort because this guy should have just run for office! Why didnt anyone ever think of that? We all must simply wait for the correct candidate to solve our problems for us!

          Each of your comments is explicitly discouraging direct action and minimizing the impact everyday people can have outside the approved range of electoral politics. There’s no strawmen here. I’ll admit to exaggeration though.

            So you genuinely think going around destroying flock cameras is the right thing to do? How many have you destroyed? It better not be zero

      Maybe people can do both. But money talks and replacing these repeatedly becomes expensive for those who have elected to purchase them.
