There are always agitators and with ICE grabbing anyone and the adding of the National Guard, tensions have escalated just as Newsom and Bass said.

Everyone hates the agitators at every protest (we are a little more forgiving of those that fall into the mob mentality but not by much). The majority of protesters are peaceful and there are a lot more of them than the assholes that really could do with some therapy.

Trump is sucking you in, to give him "pseudo" justification to use his "false" declaration of the insurrection act.

Also, be aware that Trump sent in some of his MAGAots, during the BLM demonstration, dressed like demonstrators, to break windows and start fires, so watch carefully WHO is doing this. Several of the ones in the BLM vandalism were followed by demonstrators and shown to be Trumphumpers trying to make it look like the demonstrators had turned violent......

if it was self inflicted by the car itself?????? Of course, unless there is video footage of the fire from the start it would be hard to prove either way......

They catch fire at about the same rate as internal combustion cars, so almost nil.

Some Waymo videos have been subpoenaed by cops so who knows.

The CEO is a MAGAt so there’s deep suspicions about the cars

on bluesky. Sounds like nothing can be believed at this point, and with the spread of the protests it will be lots of different stories. You go a couple of blocks and the world can change drastically. Thank goodness for cellphones.

done of course by right-wingers, but who read about that? Amazing how many of them were arrested. Wonder where Kyle Rittenhouse is? Shit makes me so effing mad. The stuff people swallow whole, and the regurgitate all over the place.
