Moscow on the Brazos.
Have a friend who was attacked on Sixth Street, left with brain damage. At one time he was a talented musician.
Now, not so much.

Pretty much all I got there was ads, with a line of text in between the ads.

Flash bangs. Stingers. OC. And about 20 officers with those guns that shoot balls of OC.

Leave them in the street and let them lie there.

“Moscow on the Brazos”

More like Baltimore on the Brazos, don’t you think?

Russia doesn’t tolerate crap like this in their capital city...

You have a city council that hates cops. You have a district attorney who files charges on cops.

So reap what you sow, Austin.

"involved crowds"

Oh, so that's what they're calling them now, "crowds".

“Always carry...”

...and then what? You shoot the guy attacking you and have to face a Soros DA, and be tried by a jury that is 90% Leftist.

I get zero ads on Breitbart. Been using some form of ad blocking since I was a young guy (well, maybe not quite that long).

I think much the same as you, but I generally advocate the use of the GE M-134 in those cases.

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

Try Byrna.

The problem with that is that the “yutes” probably have the real thing, and after they shoot you the leftist DA won’t even give them a slap on the wrist as opposed to the inquisition you’ll receive, no matter what weapon you use. We’ve now reached full lawlessness in any jurisdiction controlled by leftists. The only way to turn that around is by massive, large-scale resistance to them, but few these days retain that American patriot spirit.

These have been taking place across the nation.

People gather around in a big circle while people do their
best impression of drifting. And over and over again those
people have cars run into them, drag them, cause very serious
issues for them.

Here the police try to break it up, and the people whose
lives are saved or saved from a lifetime of having to deal
with life-long disabilities are infuriated at the police.

The inte3lligence in certain quarters is cratering.

Austin, Texas’ most Leftist city. Who could have guessed?
