The scale, complexity, and threat level of Cville was an order of magnitude higher than anything else I've seen in any recent US protest.

"scale of complexity"* Counting the RW militias as one unit, that meant there were 9 armed groups present. Nine.

Standing Rock knows. Local cops hate, lie about them. Out-of-state cops ready to kill them. Mercenaries paid to infiltrate & incite violence
