    There was definitely a lot of beatings of police. It was far from a non-violent protest. I assume there were threats to kill, yes…

    But there was no firing of weapons. the only discharge of a gun that I am aware of was the shooting of Babbit.

    The pipe bombs thing now has its own interesting conspiracies surrounding it with many people believing that they were planted by the state to justify the crackdown. Of course, the left would laugh at this now… And that’s fine…! but prior to Obama, it was generally the case that the Left was advancing the idea that the government would plant evidence and collude against the people. I agree with that - it’s an undeniable fact that the cops did do that to the left at various points.
