Trump baby blimp 'stabbed with sharp object' by pro-Trump activist in London (not the main one)
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/trump-baby-blimp-stabbed-london-protest-parliament-square-a8943976.htmlOne of the "Trump Baby" blimps flown at today’s protests in London against the US president’s visit was attacked by a pro-Trump supporter carrying a sharp object.
A woman approached a group of activists outside the House of Commons and stabbed the mini blimp in the back, according to the team of “babysitters” looking after the balloon.
“A woman … punctured the mini Trump baby replica with a sharp object,” said a spokesman for the group. “It’s not surprising that the far right would want to meet freedom of expression with violence.”
The Donald Trump supporter was led away from the crowd by police officers. A spokesperson for Scotland Yard told The Independent that “one female has been arrested for being in possession of a pointed or bladed article”.
Elsewhere in Parliament Square, one of the president’s supporters was hit on the head by a milkshake. Video footage showed a crowd of demonstrators chanting “Nazi scum” at the man, before he was struck by a drink container and with left milkshake dripping down his forehead.

MOVE a awful, and disruptive anti abortion sign, and she was arrested for doing so. On her own campus where she pays to go to school. She told the officer she wasn't stealing it, just moving it away from the main drag on campus where kids had to be bothered by it.
I remember a month of so ago a video posted here where a trumper, snatched a sign from the hands of a Democrat protestor. He broke it over his knee. Tried and tried to tear it, then he just walked off w it converting it to his own.
When I said they should've called a cop to make a police report, there were a couple commenters here who laughed and said NOOOooo. And left some lame excuse as to why. ("The video was enough" or something like that as I recall.) I wish I knew who they were, and I wish those people whos sign was stolen, would've pressed charges.
alt righters come here to read our COGENT and easy to read posts, so they can re-act and stymie what we do as D's I really believe that. When you see things happen so closely after, it REALLY makes you wonder.
I think THAT girl was set-up. She told the officer she was just "moving" the sign, not stealing or defacing it. Probably was term exam time too. Frustration, and fear, and anxiety on campus most likely peaking. God forbid she move a sign. Who knows what the images on the sign triggered for her young life.
Just some thoughts on that. ^^
The knife and sign events? That's malciously destroying someone elses property. Hopefully the "Bobbies" in London gave her a citation. Rules aren't just for the majority.
Just...and ever loving opinion. So when it gets flamed(?), the folks who review it can see it as such. (PS...Im real tired of having to qualify every post here as well. It's a conversational board/site, and it should be a little easier on what "posts" get removed. Everybody here is fighting some battle, including that brave young lady referenced above.) End of the day, unless it's a 'research type post', we're all just typing thoughts here, and our post history should be taken into account. Not just..."How many 'random strikes' we've been unlucky enough to attain'
