        JFC, he’s one of those Humboldt County right wing fascist hippies. (Not joking)

        And yes, he has multiple videos titled “diaries of a domestic terrorist”… Going back 14 years.

        Yeah. It’s funny how the terrorists always accuse “mainstream media” of lies, while the same mainstream media seems to protect them by downplaying their hate crimes.

    “…along with 100 more of the mentioned whoopee pills.”

    I’m sorry, but wtf are whoopee pills? I think they’re referring to the ecstasy, but I have been doing drugs for over 15 years and have never heard them called a whoopee pill before.

      Slashed tire doesn’t justify threatening with deadly force. Since that is what it was. How are the protesters to know its a replica airsoft gun from distance and not a real firearm. Person was injured since this person caused a fearing their lives scattering and rampage of people.

      Hence why he is in charge for menacing charge. Since that is what it is and why it is a crime. Since society knows just threatening with deadly force causes panic and leads to injuries and damage.

      The right response to “someone slashed my tire” us to call the cops and should one catch the perpetrator red handed, take out the obiguitous camera phone and take evidence footage of the likely by now running away perpetrator and turn that evidence over to police. That call insurance company.

        Depending on the specific circumstances, Slashed tire doesn’t may or may not justify threatening with deadly force.

        FTFY. I do not (yet) know the particular circumstances of this case, so I can’t make a definitive argument on this specific circumstance. I am addressing your blanket claim on the subject.

        Slashing the tire of a car can be considered assault with a deadly weapon. If a reasonable person would believe it to be done in an attempt to illegally stop or detain an occupant of the vehicle, any level of force - up to and including lethal force - reasonably believed to be necessary to stop that attack would be justified.

        That’s not a particularly high bar to reach. There aren’t many circumstances where slashing tires would be a justifiable use of force.

        Again, I have not (yet) reviewed this particular case in depth, I’m only addressing your claim. I would not be surprised to see a claim of self defense, and I would not be surprised if that claim were successful.
