Fuck, I have to change my opinion on leaf blowers.

@wackJackle This has the potential to get someone shot. In Portland they were not so comfortable with shooting someone in the face multiple times and think they'd get away with it. Now the in new landscape they can do just that and claim anything as an offensive weapon. I am not advocating doing nothing but know the risks, which this tip doesn't show.
@byrnensorg @wackJackle they will shoot people anyway. do everything that fucks up the fascists. there will be reprisals. you have to do this anyway.

@wackJackle can you edit this post to let people know the image is ai generated please? We have enough misinformation around as it is
@Mudlark People are able to scroll down. I've answered many times on this in this thread. There is also a video of what happened in Portland 2020.

@wackJackle Anyone who tries this will get charged for assault by the Feds, which is why best practice is to cover or douse any smoke grenades
@doubledealer @wackJackle if no one does these things, you'll be worrying a lot more about being arrested... in your home, for having any recorded anti-fascist sympathy. assault charges are the last thing anyone needs to worry about right now. the mask is off, class war is on.

@wackJackle @cryptica @sennoma you could at least add the info that the picture isn't a photograph to your post, to make it clear that the situation shown in the picture didn't actually happen.
Currently, you are spreading misinformation.
@u1l @wackJackle @cryptica @sennoma Yeah. “Serving suggestion”, right?

@wackJackle You might not want to be so quick on that. This is clearly an "AI" image.

@ZDL I know, please read the comments and see the video of how they used it in Portland 2020.

@wackJackle It also looks like you can load them with cinnamon and render those fuckers useless. 🤔

Fuck, I have to change my opinion on leaf blowers.
@wackJackle Pretty sure the best, and almost only, reason to hate them is the two stroke motors most use. The noise, the air pollution, things like that
This one appears to be battery-electric though, so you might be good?

Fuck, I have to change my opinion on leaf blowers.
@wackJackle the electric ones are very quiet

Fuck, I have to change my opinion on leaf blowers.
@wackJackle in portland they had phalanx, black bloc, people were doing dearrests, people werent just watching idly blowing whistles while three pigs pin someone to the ground and empty a can of fucking bear mace point blank in their face.
you wanna do leaf blowers? you need other people to be willing to protect the person with the leaf blower because the pigs will absolutely fucking focus that person if no one is defending them. i havent seen a single shield wall, i havent even seen an umbrella, people arent even extinguishing or covering gas grenades theyre just hucking them into the no mans land like they their arms can compete with a 40mm grenade launcher 400' away.
this is fun as a meme, super cute, but as advice this will get motherfuckers killed. advise people to actually use any of the tactics learned that make leaf blower guy possible instead of encouraging people to go get murdered while filmed by 1000 cameras to the tune of a thousand whistles.

@wackJackle The battery powered ones are way quieter than the old gas ones and more lightweight.

@0x00string Thank you for real information. I didn't want to get 'viral' with this post but that's what happened.

@wackJackle
leaf blower person should operate behind a front line, behind a shield wall, behind a phalanx, because if the cops see that they will want to fuck that person up immediately, so there needs to be group solidarity and organization to protect them from that and prevent them from being an option target, their job should be to stay back and wait for lobs in, then assist whoever runs up to neutralize or yeet the grenade to help keep the gas away while they work, also to blow gas away from the front lines from behind it, the leaf blower guy should never be exposed they are a big prime target. there are lots of videos from HK protests where this and other good anti gas tactics were deployed and they should be remembered and diffused again! -

@wackJackle electric only, no gas blowers that have been band here in Portland

@wackJackle @cryptica @sennoma incorrect, by using a ai image you have significantly degraded the amount of trust that one can put in you.
That lack of trust degrades your point
Thus if you really cared about a point or distributing information you would avoid ai.

@aud @wackJackle @dibi58 There are several brands with battery-powered blowers. I just like the Milwaukee one bc it is small but mighty. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/products/details/m18-compact-blower/0884-20
@LeslieBurns @aud @wackJackle @dibi58
There are also several small, hand held leaf blowers that would easily fit in a backpack.
See, e.g.,

@wackJackle That is the most beautiful picture I have seen in a very long time.
except that it‘s AI, and misleading. Read comments further down.
