cop got on the news and used a bike lock chain that was used to barricade the building as "proof" that the protestors were infiltrated by professional agitators, because it was an "industrial chain" or something like that. its the bike lock that Columbia University itself recommends to students.
The entire conservative, pro cop playbook is "say silly things, pretend you don't know they're silly".
And if anyone calls you out, act offended. Everyone knows if you are offended you are right. Growing up in a religious household it's incredible how many times I saw someone use, "You're rude therefore you are wrong" as a core tenant of "debate".
The 'victim card' is the conservative 'race card'.
Except only one of those is real, while the other is made up by those trying to use the first..
Boop beep I got delete.
They may have meant that "race card" is real and "victim cars" is not. But I still don't think that is a valid point
Possibly so.
When they say the "first" I cannot tell if they mean the first one I mentioned or the first one they mentioned.
Relative references in language is confusing!
Technically, for referencing the previous parts there are "former" and "latter", but you never know if it was not used intentionally or not.
