If there isn't at least some non-zero amount of tin-snips and turpentine, then the protest is a parade.

Coincidentally, Lowes is having a black friday on tin snips: https://www.lowes.com/pl/hand-tools/cutting-crimping-tools/tin-snips/on-sale/4294857583-2

Turpentine I can understand having for various reasons (lighting shit on fire, removing paint/ink/pepperspray), but what is the need for tin snips? cutting the zip-tie handcuffs used by riot police?

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Cutting holes in fences, as in trespassing to vandalize or cause havoc.

I think they're for performing the vasectomies as alluded to in the second panel. I assumed the turps is for make-shift antiseptic.

Let's say Jewelry making.... I feel like that's plausible?

[–] JennieBreeden@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I should buy some jewelry making paraphernalia ... for reasons.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Welders are great for jewelry making

Yeah, I would think bolt cutters would be more useful.

Nah but rubber bands are effective

Yeah, meanwhile I've used bolt cutters more than most people (anarchism got me doing bicycle repair and salvaging which involves them front time to time), and they work by leveraging the stiffness. They aren't actually sharp, they're just dull scissors with a fuck ton of leverage

Yeah, the harder the steel the better bolt cutters work.

They suck with a real mild steel.

I wouldn't mind some tin snips and turpentine

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (7 children)

I don't get it. This guy was shooting doctors? Why? Is there a second page to the comic?

Can we talk about how the amount of anti abortion women and anti abortion men is about equal?
