      Likely from the side school of thought that was damaging the 5g towers during covid.

      Yes, Veterans on Patrol took credit for the attack, and said they planned to attack others.

        ROFL, I had a feeling when I saw that picture of him staring straight into the camera. These idiots won’t be happy until we’re all living in caves again.

        Edit to add:

        So he’s a veteran, apparently. That should make him easier to find. So might the sign he posted. I wonder if printing on yellow paper will impair the reading of the hidden code containing the serial number of the printer they used.

      Its likely that this person was involved with “Veterans on Patrol”, a group that has sent threats to weather stations because they believe that radar are “weather weapons.”

          Rolling coal should be considered a symptom of mental illness.

          Like, why?

          The Venn diagram of people who do that shit and think that NOAA has evil HAARP weather weapons is probably a circle.

            Rolling coal and complaining about fuel prices should get you deemed mentally incompetent.

            I fucking love cars and bikes and things that go fast and loud! Have I laid down rubber while doing massive burnouts? Yes. Have I modified exhaust systems to run straight pipes? Also yes. (But I’ve also adjusy my engine tune to realize the gains that running straight pipes gets you… But that’s another subject altogether)

            … All that being said, rolling coal is fucking stupid, even by my standards. It makes zero sense other than to be obnoxious.

          Rolling coal is like walking up to the company picnic and shitting in the potato salad and shouting “does that make you mad, libtard?!” when people complain.

          You’re just ruining someone else’s time because you tied your personality to being a dick to get reactions.

          We are living in a period of anti-science irrationality, tied with the rise of global fascism.

          A significant portion of the US’s population (roughly 1 in 5) believes in Q-anon, Wayfair child trafficking conspiracies, “Frazzledrip” (a supposed video where Hillary Clinton murders a child and drinks their blood for ‘adrenochrome’), etc etc.

          I believe Lauren Boebart posted shit about the weather weapons on her Twitter. A good chunk of our elected officials believe this insanity too (remember how fluoridation programs just got nixed). The Oklahoma state GOP platform literally includes a desire to shut down 5G.
