Will this even affect Flock’s bottom line? Who pays to replace a broken or stolen camera, Flock or the local police?

I want both of them to not have money to hurt me more, so either is good.

I think this is a bad idea. The Christians have been against Halloween for quite some time, turning Halloween into a day of vandalism will just encourage this Christian-Nationalist Trump administration into removing the holiday entirely. Halloween is basically a Pagan holiday.

This guy is a plant.

Halloween is for taking back that which was stolen from us.

Fuck the Christians, and fuck those who try to apologize, appease, or otherwise in anyway shape or form try and meet the fascists and authoritarians half-way.

It isn't the fascist who let this country down this road, it was the moderate who refused to fight, the moderate who said "lets hear what they have to say". The true enemy of justice is the moderate who prefers a calm and polite injustice to the tension and squabble required to bring about true justice. And here they are.

Our problem is not that we are not capable of resisting these elements of evil; Our problem is that there are those among us who would ask us to stay calm and stay quiet such that we don't have some right taken away.

But where-in did we not assume these rights to be both universal and self-evident? That they are not something given to us from some authority, but something we hold inately: Our humans rights are not something that can be given, nor are they something which can be taken away.

So fuck this guy. Halloween isn't theirs to take away. Its ours to do with what we will, as it always has been, and always will be.

Do what thou willst.
