#2 "An unlawful assembly is three or more people who gather in such a manner where property damage, or personal injury is likely to occur,

Sounds like a DNC convention.

#4 In early August, Banta was charged with biting, kicking, and pointing firearm at a police officer at a protest in Waupaca.

One of the problems with the current Wuhan pandemic is that court cases (especially sentencing) are being delayed well beyond the norm.

Hope he gets immediately locked up this time.

#5 Sorry for the repeat.

Where did the flamethrower get mention? Confused.

#6  Where did the flamethrower get mention?

Woodrow, look at the first sentence of the article. That information is not reflected in the quote from WBAY, the local Green Bay television station, but going to the WBAY article yields:

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - A Neenah man had a flamethrower, smoke grenades and fireworks during a demonstration in Green Bay Saturday night, according to police and prosecutors.

Matthew Banta, 23, is charged with obstructing an officer and two counts of felony bail jumping.

Given that no one had touched him, I wonder was the dropping down crying thingy a planned response to make the police look bad on video?

#7 That seems to be what their training reflects, TW.

#8 TW, that's been a taught tactic for a long time.

Just like the Bully crying "UNCLE" when his victim fights back.

I think I've seen that face on a package of suet.

#9 That no one seemed to have touched him would be called a 'flopper' in soccer.

#10 What are the odds this guy rolls over and gives up names?

Give him a sports mouthpiece as a friendly gesture during questioning and indicate cons often bust out the teeth and take advantage of newbies...

#11 I don't think the term is Framing the Conversation, but essentially it is.

Part of it is some classic Pallywood Propaganda. The other part is if said person goes to trial, especially a jury trial, the video might help sway a jurist. Like Mullah Richard said, a meterball flop intended to garnish sympathy.

Remember that professional agitator up in Buffalo who took that really weird, unnatural fall and bonked his head on the pavement?

Or saying, or even yelling I Can't Breath; anyone who has been in a choking and/or compressed chest experience will tell you that a patient might be able to get out a whimper, might, but nowhere near a normal volume and annunciation.

So when his case is presented, he is presented as some poor pillsbury doughboy who decided to get out of his momma's basement to exercise his right to free speech and assembly and got jumped by a bunch of amped up jackboot thugs, instead of a trained grenadier with a proven violent history.

#13 I don't understand why the flamethrower wasn't tested on him.
