I've played enough league to know you would have to do this for months to actually pick up a ban

Oh gotcha. Sorry I'm not the most familiar with the chess world.

I mean, easy fix there right? Just have a women's tournament and an everybody tournament. Women can then choose which to enter.

Well it also could be because waymo is owned by Alphabet (Google's parent company) and the side against ICE is also going to be generally against megacorps that are actively trying to sprint towards technofacism. But honestly I doubt that much thought went in to it. People are angry for a million different reasons in this country right now, and at a protest like this that is spontaneous (as opposed to organized/planned) that anger is bound to manifest in ways that aren't always the most productive to the cause. That's just human nature imo. Emotions aren't always rational. And sure, it's definitely possible this was an opportunist just looking for an excuse to be destructive, or even planted fed agitators like others have said, but if you ask me it's just as likely it's just some pissed off people who are just saying to themselves "fuck it, the government wants to fuck our shit up? Well then i guess we can fuck shit up too."

Editing to add: It can be hard to put yourself in their shoes if you've never been to a protest that got a little ugly, because you might imagine yourself in the same state of mind you are in as you're just like sitting at home or wherever reading this thread. But likely these fire starters have also already been tear gassed, shoved around by cops, corraled like animals, flashbanged, had rubber bullets shot at them, and all after watching fascist federal agents come in to their community and effectively dissappear people who are some of the most vulnerable among them. Maybe even close friends or family. It's honestly surprising how many are still able to maintain their cool enough to be peaceful after suffering all of that.

Well they took them to Israel first but yea i agree

I'm not positive, but i believe the majority of their support team was in Paris so I'd guess that's why. Apparently they were given a choice between deportation and a trial and some of them basically had to be convinced to choose deportation so they could speak about their experiences.

Calling it now, invest everything you have, that image is gong to become a meme
