Last week Seattle PD shot and killed an active shooter, who had already shot two women, killing one of them.

Antifa decided that a protest was in order.
During that protest, this happened, apparently last night.

People are ragging on the Antifa idjit because he was using an umbrella like a pansy.

Forget the umbrella foppery.
Or, rather understand what was really going on.

See the antifag pull out a collapsible baton after the umbrella was taken away from him? The umbrella was being used as a distraction device, a ruse. If the other man could be enticed to ‘engage’, the idjit was going to up the game and use the baton on him. The umbrella was being used to sucker the guy in.

Look at the video again, if you missed it.

In many states, mine in particular, that type of club is defined in law as a deadly weapon in and of itself.
In my state, pulling a billy like that is more than enough of a threat (especially at that close of a distance, and since there was already an assault) that the assaulted party would be justified in pulling out a gun and blowing the goon to kingdom come.

And for that, we don’t see such shenanigans around here

The vid’s a learning exercise to keep your situational awareness spun up.
