TRA terrorism now

[trans activists] have posed with axes and bats studded with nails and knives and threatened to kill women

I understated this. Some trans activists have already killed women.

For example:

Noted transgender activist Dana Rivers was arraigned Tuesday on charges of committing a brutal triple homicide in Oakland, California in the early hours of Friday, November 11. The victims have been identified as lesbian couple Patricia Wright and Charlotte Reed and their son Toto “Benny” Diambu-Wright.

Choosing to set off smoke outside a newspaper at a time when newspaper offices have been bombed and in a city that’s had many bombings is not just stupid and not just a prank — it’s an acting out. It is a gesture toward violent intent. And if it’s not stopped it will continue to escalate.

Indeed. And what's the betting the BBC and the Guardian won't even notice it's happened.

We're in a dark place in this country.

I hope their crimes are recorded as having been committed by men.

Be careful over the weekend if you’re out and about leafleting. These women haters are panicking.

Given tensions in London at the moment setting off smoke 'bombs' is an incredibly dim thing to do.

Joan you forgot to add on the end of your list 'and the police do nothing' Then '3 women handing out leaflets and the mounted police arrive'
(Really comprehensive list though)

What a bunch of fecking eejits.

Try putting smoke bombs off during the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland. Fireworks were banned there for a while.

Smoke bombs in the middle of London creates panic and it's not at all harmless.

But apparently women have no reason to be afraid of these people!

"bomb" is a misnomer

Well yes, probably in relation to what they actually are, but bearing in mind London has been on high alert for terrorist incidents, the capacity to cause fear is higher than it might otherwise have been.

Wasn't there that bloke who got arrested for just joking about a bomb at some airport?

It's not just smoke bombs in isolation though is it?

There were bomb threats.
There has been violence.
There has been vandalism.
There has been threats of serious violence - those bats studded with nails, the threats on social media made by men holding knives and other weapons, men wearing t shirts covered in the fake blood of "terfs".

This is not an isolated incident and it should not be treated as such.

If these "smoke bombs" are what I think they are, they're pretty harmless - we mucked about with them at uni as stage effects and they're only a few quid on Amazon, you just have to be over 16 to buy and that's probably because of the included lighter. Rather like sparklers in terms of threat level, not explosives.

Still disruptive and shouldn't be set off in the street, of course, but plausibly deniable against charges of terrorism. Disturbing the peace, sure. Idiotic, definitely. Not minimising the stupidity by any means, but "bomb" is a misnomer.

Oh we'll be told it's jut a couple of smoke bombs in pretty colours, and legitimate demonstration.

Stop making a fuss silly women! Of course these aren't narcissists, and you'll be perfectly fine, and not at all intimidated when they're in the next bed on a hospital ward.

It's obvious things would escalate. This is absolutely textbook narcissistic abuse. This is also what abusive males do to women when we say No to them.

The only question for me is how far will they be allowed to go before the media and politicians step up and speak out?

Aspie They could also put in a young woman with blue hair. She would be invisible to the burly types which could be helpful.

Lisa Muggeridge has had this pegged for a while.

I was just about to post something similar but you beat me too it!

LM has been saying for weeks that things will escalate...

Normally it’s difficult for the police to infiltrate terrorist cells because police officers look like police officers but how difficult would it be to plant some burly bloke in an unconvincing wig inside an organisation made up of burly blokes in unconvincing wigs?

53000 responses.

Male pattern violence. Intimidation is second nature for these guys.

Wise women here predicted they would escalate. As each one of their more "subtle" methods to get women to STFU backfires they need to resort to more extreme methods.

I wonder where this will end?

The abused girlfriend leaving the abuser analogy is 100%.

Yes there's a thread. Extended until noon Monday. I think because of the volume and the site issues.

That's not fair OvaHere. I thought of it first but was distracted in posting straight away.
