(11,648 posts)Get as much free shit as possible, trashing everything else as you go. Let somebody else clean up. The worst thing is the desecration of sacred Paiute artifacts. How are these bozos any different than the Taliban or Daesh?

(3,702 posts)These are children throwing a temper tantrum - breaking things, shitting everywhere, disobeying "mom and dad", etc.
Of course if they are punished/fined/jailed etc they will just point to how big government is taking away their freedom of speech.
