#1 Which illustrates two key points:

1) The left is fine with guns as long they're the only ones that have them.

2) The left has guns.
Which the "Hurdurr, we have all teh gunzz!" crowd on the Right needs to grasp.

#2 All fine and well, but what is up with front and center dude's pants, other than the ironic 90s roll-up?

Far left is on forenoon watch.

#4 Not necessary to have all the guns (you never do) nor even the most (though we on the right do) You do need to have the best organized and deployed guns. This was a big story exactly because it's not the norm on the left. Tupperware knee and elbow pads just ain't gonna get it.

#5 If it shows anything, the armed left is as concerned about their own version of tacticool as some on the right are. If you are trying to stay alive, avoid that crowd.

#6 Optics, optics, especially for a set piece.

I can almost hear the commercial introduction voice-over for Old Navy, "In these unprecedented times..."

#7 And it was not about intimidation (which is good, because it's actually more like laughable) No, sir. Only far right Charlotte neo nazis and white people who just want to go back to work are intimidators.

(But remember, forever quarantine crowd also calls people who just want to go back to work "childish.")

#8 I note with approval that everyone in the photo has their index finger carefully laid alongside their weapon instead of on the trigger, making all those in the vicinity that much safer. Three cheers for that particular bit of tacticool behaviour.

#9 Doin' the job white folks won't do to her satisfaction.

State Rep. Sarah Anthony must be very proud of herself.

#10 The race peddler crowd never has a self esteem problem.

#11 Concern Troll of the Year Award goes to this hypocrite who says - you can imagine the Jussie Smollett teary breaking voice - "The thing that keeps me up at night is the fear that we are becoming more polarized, more angry... My fear is that we are creating an environment that is a powder keg, and I don’t want to see citizens of all stripes getting hurt.”

= I want to see citizens of the wrong 'stripes' getting hurt.

Right. Got it.

So that explains why this 'llawmaker' who weeps over how 'polarized' and 'angry' we ~~white folk~~ have all become has decided to improve situation by "[coming] to Michigan’s capitol with an escort of armed black citizens."

#12 You bring a gun we bring several. Eat it Mike...

#13 I'm not here to kill you. That doesn't mean I won't...
