Kudos to Charles for putting this up.
re: #102 Killgore Trout

Good man Kilgore.
We clearly saw her for the provocateur she intended to be. Hustling her away is fine. Maybe even a take down. Maybe. I mean she froze on contact so there was absolutely no fight in her. The “bums rush” away would have been enough. Enough is enough. Literally.

It’s also a reminder how dangerous crowds are and to deliberately provoke like that is doubly dangerous or more. It’s not about who is who, it is about what happened. The big reason police put buffer zones up at protests (as I documented at the Tea Party Express at Griffith Park) is a very good idea. Counter protest can happen from a short distance away. Just to keep it non violent.
